Well, it would seem that Baz Luhrman was right. I see that now, and I would like to apologize to my friend's of fairer complexions for all the times I teased and mocked your inability to spend any significant time in the sun.
Apparently, neither can I.
I currently sport a rather nasty sunburn. It's not as red as it was yesterday or the day before that, but it is still, if not more so, completely uncomfortable. I am also wearing a semi-permanent tank top. It is three shades lighter than my arms, upper chest and face. Not to mention, less red.
This Sucks!
I am hot and uncomfortable and I have a tan line for the ages. Everyone is laughing. I blame Sin. It's her fault entirely that I was out for three hours in the blazing sun.
I spent Fourth of July at a Parade and this is the entry I wrote but never posted. So, here it is. Incidentally, I was vaguely hung over from the night before (spent dancing on bars at Shark's Cove in Hermosa) and it was so overcast that morning that I forgot to apply SPF. Never again, I say!
Fortunately, I have found a super-duper-peachy-keen sunblock. I don't typically like sunblock/sunscreen because it's so oily. This one isn't. In fact, I have become obsessive about applying it because it smooths on and dries like a lotion so that I feel like I don't have any sunblock on at all. I am in heaven.
Now all I have to do is get rid of the tan lines.

My current favorite is DDF Moisturizing Sunblock SPF 30, and they have a Matte version that I sometimes use if it's really sweaty out, since it sinks in with absolutely no residue.
And hats. I wear a lot of hats.
