Tanning
Any day now, we’ll start hearing – again! – that the sun is bad for us, and we should wear sunscreen all the time. These sun-haters must think we have very short memories. I don’t want skin cancer, either, but let’s be honest and admit that tanned people – almost any and all tanned people – look better that folks who aren’t. Tanned fat looks better than bleachy white fat. A salon here has a new angle – tanning gives you Vitamin D, to make you healthy! If God had wanted me white, I would have been born that way. No, wait . . .
