GREAT IDEA!!! I'm shorter, so now you've got me wondering what people see on top of my head....split ends? Thinning? Oh no! Something new to obsess about. Thanks a lot! (Only kidding!)

LOL! I love this tale of yours about turning into an orange! I have never used the stuff, but it occurred to me I might try it on
top of my head, where I don't seem to tan all that well, and where only
taller people could see the orange glow...

Wow...so I'm guessing that the bronzing lotions are extremely popular there? Hey, if it's good enough for the movie stars, it's good enough for US! (Except if you use the orange kind....dead giveaway that you used a lesser brand...I should know!)

I've never heard of Aussie Gold. The closest thing I can think of is Palmolive Gold, which is a brand of soap. We actually have graphic commercials on our TV admonishing people
not to tan (skin cancer is rife here)...

I KNOW! That was HILARIOUS!!! I've never had a conversation like that in my life. The funniest part about it was (that I forgot to write in the piece)....we MATCHED. We were precisely the same color.

....Do they tan there? Or do they use Aussie Gold, like that one guy on the plane?

You know what? That's true! I've met people I've known, or that I had an unknown connection with, in the most remote of places....! Yep, you've got a point there. One never knows! Best not to be orange when it happens....

Quite a quest you've had to go through to get tan...I like how you and that guy talked shop about what bronzers you use.

Goodness Darson - how do you get into these situations is beyond me..LOL. You are really cute! And just as a reminder, don't be too sure that you don't meet people you know just because you leave far away on a holiday!!

Ohhhhh Noooooo. The world's not ready for pictures, and whereas I can be very candid in words, the visual is a very different matter altogether....! You'll have to hit up Monika and Jerry. I'm sure they'd sell out....that's why they took them in the first place....the traitors!!!

I have a sister that lives there. She's pretty pale. But wow, the trade off's not so bad...ya stick a seed in the ground and....poof....instant plant. It's not fair. We really have to baby our plants where we live. I'd sacrifice a tan for a fabulous garden, anyday!

I think many of us have done this.
I grew up in Washington, and folks in that area don't tan much. More likely they grow moss. It's damp, overcast most of the time. Oregon's kinda like that, too. But no moss. They grow web feet... (joke)...

Hehe...Reminds me of another story I wanted to share with you Darson. I don't wear vanity well, either, but then most of my friends tell me I have no vanity at all. Which is probably true.
As for the pale complexion, I have the same problem. My doctor swears I must be a vampiress! Once, when he had to prescribe vitamin D tablets for me, he scolded me and pleaded, "Will you please go and sit near a window and get some damned sunlight for your bones?" I have Oesteoporosis in my left ankle, you see.
I was also born with a rare skin disease, and there are litterally pale orange splotches all over my body. Ironically, people end up asking about my odd "tan."
The bronzer definetly would NOT look good on me!
Hawaii...Now, that's one place I gotta see!

It is so great how God protects those who love him. He said now, now daughter not too much pride. That is a really fun story. Thanks for sharing it and all your writing, I love it.

The worst that ever happened to me was the orange hands
I smeared it allon with my hands...such enthusiasm and was horrified to see my palms. I wore gloves for about three days.
