Have you been Kissed by the Sun or Charred?

The summer sun is always eager to bake half naked pasty white folk who prance around beaches, backyards and pools without sun protection. Which, sadly sums up this former sun babies history in a nutshell. Have you indulged in this same guilty pleasure? Is your body sun kissed, healthy and a sexy version of the human form or a sun blazoned, partially charred rather odd looking version of the human form?!

Notice how the outer skin on both the human the the pig are shiny, wrinkled, shrivelled and dry!

I'm a fair skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed blonde loaded with freckles, in other words a sun magnet so, as of the past couple of years my 'All in Moderation' concept for food, is also used to manipulate my contact with the sun. Somewhat like controlled sun deprivation, by choice...I guess I get it, I finally get it! Wanting to get your glow on and getting some vitamin D is okay, even necessary but, chasing a beyond lustrous tan that borders on you resembling dinner is simply unhealthy!

So, are you pro SPF? Pro shade? Bring on the sun? Fake n' bake? Spray on tan? How to you get your glow on (the all age friendly version only please ;)

p.s. outside the context of this post and the 'human to pig' comparison, a pig roast is delicious. Please, don't hold anything against the pig! If you aren't into that, watch the kind of old (but not nearly as old as me) movie called There's Something About Mary, that oughta put a smile on that pretty face of yours!
