New Coworker told me yesterday that she wants to buy me a tanning package. I gave her a funny look, because as I’ve mentioned before, I *refuse* to do that type of stuff.

While this means that I seem to appear somewhat out of vogue at least from a Western standpoint — I don’t think tanning is as big in Asia as it is in the Americas or Europe — I feel that the trade-off is 1) I will not contract melanoma or some other disease from a nasty dirty tanning bed, and 2) I won’t look like a shoe when I’m 40. heh.

So what do you guys think about tanning? Do you do it? Would you do it if you could?


  1. I’m not too big on tanning beds, for the same reasons you mentioned.

    I think most tans look strange anyway. Especially those people who over tan and look orange.

  2. Plus, I actually like my naturally pale skin. :-/
