    what's the story with the Italian sun? :confused: It's the only hot country I've been to that I get a perfect tan... EVERY time... without going through the burn :o . Anywhere else I burn and then it turns to tan, I don't get it.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I tan very easily...my skin just soaks up the sun. I was warned that I would burn in the Australian sun : rolleyes : :p Not a chance! : D I'm half Italian, a quarter Polish and a quarter German...seems to be a good combo for tanning. I know I should use sunblock anyway...and I do sometimes on my face...but not as much as I should

    Girl!!! :eek: We have the highest rate of melanoma in the world, you have to promise you'll get religious about sunblock and hats!!! Please? :)

    And I burn, burn, burn, then I peel and then I freckle. :rolleyes:

    No tanning here!! But then I could burn in the middle of winter. :rolleyes:
    NOPE!!!

    I never tan my face as I don't want to look like an old hag. I keep it under wraps and use a light self tanner.
    I also have to use a high spf on my body as I will burn easily. But if I gradually ease my skin into the sun, I end up with a nice tan. It is not easy though.


    self tanner?????????????? lmao

    I promise Jeanie! I don't want to get skin cancer...and I don't want to get all wrinkly :p but I really do love a nice tan :o It's hard to get used to using sunblock (and to taking shorter showers!) but these are things I will adjust to

    but it does look good on some people - it's kind of like hair color...usually what's close to your natural color looks best

    Tan. I change nationality in the summer.
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    I know my skin would burn if I gave it a chance as I am what NY PJ1 would describe as pasty :p ... so constant sunblock in the summer for me ... good job we don't usually get much of a summer on this side of the pond :D

    Luckily never had sunburn ... and hope never to have it.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I burn very easily. Even when I go to the beach, I am always putting on sunblock every 20 minutes and still get horribly burnt. It's gotten to the point that I don't go out on the beach until the evening or only go out on the porch if there's some shade.

    At times, but then again, I'm not much of a beach person so it doesn't bother me too much.

    Plus I've got no problems with sitting out on the porch with a beer or seven and watching all the lovelies tan and swim ;)

    Nope :cool:

    ... there are a few people walking around with tans as for a couple of weeks we had been up around 26-28 ... has dropped back to our May normal of 21-22 this week though
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I'm either ghost-white or sunburned. There is no "tan". My ancestors should've mingled more.

    I'm 100% Scottish.. and i mean the kinda Scottish where i was born and raised here.. not the 100% Scottish that Americans seem to think they are if their great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandfather Jimmy McHaggis arrived in New York to set up a ScotMart... the OP is in Chicago and yet he's 50% Polish and 50% Irish... :confused: and i bet his mum and dad are American also... So that means you arent American then? weird... i mean how far do we go back??? Hey I'm 2% Chimpanzee, 17% Neanderthal and 81% Plant Sap?

    so i'm 100% Scottish and so obviously i SUNBURN
