My grandmother used to go to great lengths to keep her arms legs & face from the sun, working in the fields. Pearly white was the craze for the rich girls.
This was a very long time ago when I was little kid. My Dad’s legs never saw any sun. His skin was chalky white. Dan loved to play indoor handball at our local college. He was a really good athlete and the college students would play handball with him all the time. He always wore sweat pants over his shorts. One time it was really warm and Dad took off his sweatpants. The college student he was playing against was black. This kid grew up in California, so his accent was the typical western accent. However, when he saw Dad’s chalky white legs he took spoke as if he was from the South. “Man, you sure is a spook!”.
Whats wrong with white skin? Does it have anything to do with the fact that half the cartoons I follow now have the people changed to “people of color”…. that aren’t sun tanned??

Actually anything over SPF 50 is a scam.

The only place that I where shorts is in the house. But I do wear them to get the mail but that’s all.

At least he is not wearing white socks, or even socks with his sandles.

We live a number of hour south of them in the US and we are still wearing winter coats here.
