To tan or not to tan
I got some tan this past weekend. Not like the hot kind. The sock and tank top kind. The redneck kind. Is that accurate? I don't know much about rednecks.
Well here's the thing. Normally I don't mind getting some color. But this? Ew it's gross. I'm dark. And it looks dirty! Normally indian peeps aren't fans of being tan. We don't want to be darker like the rest of the american/european society. No we use products such as "Fair and Lovely" (yes this product exists) to actually lighten our skin.
Now I am not one of the crazy few who goes out of her way to not get any sun. I think some sun is healthy. I like laying out at the beach and getting fun tan lines.
But tennis tan lines? No one wants those.
