Alright, I'm pale. When I say pale, I mean pale like an infant born in Alaska during the dead of winter with no sunlight. Summer is great and I love the sun. The sun does not always love me. These are 20 thoughts of a pale girl in summer.
1. There is eternally a bottle of Aloe Vera ready and waiting in my fridge.
2. Yes, I carry a bottle of sunblock with me every where I go.
3. Hey, can you get my back for me?
4. It's only been half an hour, am I already burned?
5. Oh, that is definitely going to peal.
6. Maybe this is going to fade into a nice tan.
7. Nope. It pealed. Starting over again.
8. My forearms look pretty tan.
9. Oh, do not compare my forearms to my stomach.
10. Yes, I do have to wear sunblock.
11. Give me five minutes, I need to reapply.
12. Is there any shade here?
13. SPF 5? Are you serious? I'm going to need at least twenty five higher than that.
14. Is that a visible tan line?
15. IT'S A TAN LINE!
16. You burned, why didn't you wear sunblock? I reapplied three times. The sun hates me. Thanks.
17. Why don't you just let yourself burn and then you'll have a base. No, thank you that sounds like skin cancer. Honestly, skin cancer is very real, I need the sunblock.
18. Am I pale of am I Queen Elsa?
19. I'm Queen Elsa.
20. Mom, where's the sunblock?
Protect yourselves, porcelain beauties. There is no shame in spraying that SPF.
