so a few days ago before work i was watching the view.

pause and let that marinate and sink into your sweet little heads for a minute.

i watched the view...and no, i don't have a vagina or fallopian tubes. i watch it off and on actually. but here's the catch 22 - i watch it betweeen shows and during commercials of what i'm really watching. no really...cmon now, you have to believe me.

anyhow, they touched on the latest threat to human civilization. they touched on "tanorexia".
ha. what a crock of shit.

sure you can get addicted to tanning when uv rays hit the skin; activate the pleasure centres of the brain and release endorphins. *snicker* WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT?!!

my concern isn't about that.

my wig just flips out over the fact that people all over the western hemisphere and above the tropic of cancer are crazy about tanning. my wig flips out over white folks tanning.

and they're really bad at it too. orange skin types. self-bronzers that rub off on clothing. old wrinkled breasts and liver spots down the road not to mention eye damage and cancer; it's really not flattering at all.

the funny thing is - white people (not all, by any means) preoccupy a lot of their time towards being anything but a dark skinned minority or having to go through what anyone with dark skin has to go through in their daily travels.

back in the days, aristrocrats had fair skin because they stayed in all day while those with dark skin errr "the color'ds" as those who owned them would call them, worked the fields all day.

today, it's a different story. today, i guess they figure they want the best of both worlds - white bourgeoisie status with dark, "healthy" skin and supernaturally white teeth.

it's all ass-backwards.

hey, i know!!!
considering that i, myself, turn color as fast as one of those hypercolor shirts from the 90s when placed under direct sunlight, im strongly considering applying to work head desk at a tanning salon...or even open up my own tanning salon. i'll say i'm really white and simply tan on the reg. man, i'd make a killing.
