Subject: RE: How many tan lines do you have?I'm in the pasty white camp. I prefer to call it the Scottish tan. I've been hoping since I was eight years old that all my freckles would one day converge and I'd have the darkest tan ever. *sigh*
I used to get good ones, though - a line from my braid going straight down my back. The famous soccer lines from long shorts and high socks. Riding gives the gloves line. I'll get little lines on the sides of my face from my glasses.
Saw a seriously funny one last night, though - went rock climbing with a friend, and while belaying him noticed he had very sharp, distinct lines about halfway up his calf (so the lower half of his leg was white, the upper sunburnt ). Skiers will get the same line, but I knew he doesn't ski. Turns out he'd gone climbing in Tuckerman's Ravine on Mt. Washington last weekend with his plastic boots on, but was so hot he was just in shorts. Classic! |
