To tan or not to tan
The question I face at this moment in time is probably more of an avoidance issue than a real question, but here it is, none-the-less.
Should I go to a tanning salon?
Why would I? Because I won't be out where people can see me in a bathing suit to get a natural tan but would like a little colour for the summer.
I also like to lay in the warm tanning bed and relax. It's probably the only place I can actually relax. I think I allow myself to relax there because I know it is for no more than 20 minutes. The thing I find most weird about tanning is that I can be naked and relax. Probably because I am laying in a coffin-like structure and can't raise my head to see myself, even if I were inclined to open my eyes. I do find myself making sure the door is locked at least three times before taking my clothes off, though.
Why wouldn't I? Because it costs money I could be spending on less frivolous things, because I have to go there without makeup on and someone might see me like that and because it might be bad for my skin.
Well, the bad for skin thing actually means nothing to me. I am virtually immune to the sun and hardly ever burn. Even when I've spent hours in the midday sun without sunscreen I was a little pink and it faded to brown by morning. I'm much more likely to faint from heat stroke long before I get a sun burn. Being in the sun usually gives me a headache.
