And ya know, I could never explain it to her. I have since eliminated my exposure to the sun. Skin cancer is prevalant in mi familia. Plus, I dotn wanna look like a wallet when I am 50. Coem on, skin isnt supposed to make a sound when you walk. My aunt was always in the sun and she looked like she used to bob for apples in a deep fat fryer. I never could tell if she was original recipie, or extra crispy. My friend Les has fake baked so much she now looks like a photo negative. She has that healthy orange glow.

ROFL@ the wallet comment! I'm about as pasty as they come - I burn if I *think* about sun. I'm the kind of person that can get burned from riding in the car. I'll fake bake in the summer, just to avoid that super-pasty look.
I already look much younger than I am - and I plan to keep on looking that way. I wear SPF 15 daily, and if I"m going out into the sun for any prolonged period of time, I wear SPF 45.
Hooray for pasty people!
