Cause I wen get plenny sun on da ahm after I get dea. First day fogot da sunblock. Lived to regret it, too. You may be a redneck if you foget da sunblock and get da burn on da back of you neck. That is where I reallygot it. Yep, I'm a redneck all right. I was sked of getting my chest scar burned, they warned me about that. It never changed color. The rest of me did, even freckles, more and bigger. That is probably why little JJ wanted to know what those polka dots on da haole auntie's face were. I think Paul's hair keeps him from burning, plus Italian, he just gets nice and tanned, no burn, except maybe on da pink top of his head.
No tanning salon. But there are magic ways through chemistry, you know. I did use some Jergens Natural Glow daily moisturizer, which is purported to give a "healthy glow", got one for da body and one for da face. The face one was nice, very subtle. The body one was not good, very splotchy, so I only used it at home once before we wenet and scrubbed and scrubbed til it came off. I was shame to go and let everyone see my pastey white legs, but then it dawned on me, that I would blend right in ova Waikiki. But I did notice that the Japanese tourists covered themselves from head to toe. Hats, long sleeves, even gloves on their hands. Long pants or long dresses, socks. Even umbrellas to keep the sun off. They must not like a healthy glow, yeah? I also recall that Jay's wife, Rizalina, did not want to get sun when we went Kaka`ako, so she put plenty sun block.
But the good news, Braddah Ed, is that you can see where my tan stops. Therefore, you know I did no topless sunbathing. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

I don't know about everyone else, but when I was living in Hawai'i I always avoided the sun as much as possible- get too much as it is. Too much sun makes your skin get old, and causes skin cancer. But the first thing tourists do is go lie in the sun and get as brown as possible, so they can brag to their friends at home that they went to Hawai'i.
Except the Japanese. In Japan fair skin is considered atractive- the last thing a Japanese woman wants is to look like a peon who has to work outside in the fields. Holdover from feudal times. Europeans had the same aesthetic before factory work became the fate of the poor, and a suntan proved leisure time.

True of many Asians. I'm a columnist for a Vietnamese mgazine/radio station and the last thing any of the ladies in the office want to do is get a tan. They admire my sports car but refuse to ride in it with the top down. Or up, as far as that goes. (That may be due to factors other than a tan, of course. )
And the Vietnamese women who cut my hair can't understand why I stay so tan, especially when they see the consequences of it on my head and especially my ear. I tell them too many years on the beach and the mountain and the boat. They don't understand that, either.

Oh okay mahalo braddah Jay, I was jahs checking fo make shuwah Wanda neva go tanning salon which I would find quite amusing. One of da reasons I find it amusing is because my wife does da same ting too.
But what isn't so amusing is dat I usually end up having to pay fo da dang tanning sessions.  |

Lordy me, Braddah Ed! I waste money lots of ways, but I would never waste it to rotisserize myself in a tanning salon. I'd rather spend it on papers and stickers and such for scrapbooking and card making. (Wait til you get my 4th of July cards). I like making cards so much, that I am inventing card giving holidays. Normally 4th of July is not a card sending holiday, but, well, I guess I shall start a new tradition.
My arms did get very dark. Still are. I am colored like a pie bald deer. |

Emphasis on almost, if you please. One of my long-standing philosophies is: "I don't get paid very much - but then, I don't take much pride in my work." |
