City or Sun?

[xp_olaris]

I'll admit I was tempted. Fifth Ave, Broadway, Central Park, Tiffanys and all that, it's a must on any list of things to do. And there is absolutely something to be said for getting all dolled up and seeing and being seen.

Then I chanced to look in the mirror. Good God above, I was positively pasty! It was as though I'd spent the last two months in a cave. Obviously, being seen in public this way was out of the question. So since it was after all a lovely day with a nice obliging cloudless sky, I hied myself down to the pool and put in some serious effort on my tan.

Falling asleep wasn't part of the plan but really, how long can this burn last?

Just checking, but will out-of-season Christmas carols get me thrown out a window? :)

Out a window? Hell no, then there'd be more of you and you could be your own chorus. No, it would be a far more subtle and horrifying torture for you.

Barney. 24/7. No breaks.

Eep.

Consider all plans hereby kiboshed, then. Just for you, because, y'know, you're obviously having such a tough day with your whole sunburn thing, and I wouldn't want to add to your woes, you being a friend and everything. It's the least I can do, really.

Roomie... next time, borrow one of my suntan lotions if you must, please? At least you won't turn into a crispy critter when you fall asleep in the sun.

*stern look*

I did have suntan lotion on, I'm not a total moron. But even 45 spf won't save you from a long nap at noon.

Alarm clock, next time?

No Cosmo next time. I think I'm cancelling my subscription.

Dude Everyone burns the first time out for the summer, then it usally turns into a totally great tan. You being a Caly girl should know that *winks* I still have my tan from Hawaii, but next time I can come talk to you and keep you company maybe?

What, are you trying to become the poster boy for Skin Cancer 'R Us?

Doesn't anyone know what a burn actually is?

You people drive me crazy.

(love y'all anyway, though)

Poster Boy for Skin Cancer 'R Us...sounds promising...

I know what a burn is, but excuse me for trying to make her feel better. Burns can be embarassing, especailly if they are gotten whilst napping.

(you better)

Especially when I know better!

All right, all right. I'm just overprotective.

Don't let her turn into a wrinkly leather person, hm? And don't let yourself do the same.

No one is going to want a wrinkly poster boy.

*grins*

With the aid of a good moisturizer, leather and wrinkles can be avoided. This is why good skin care products are essential.
