So we had our first home game the other night and on the cover of the game paper that they hand out to everyone was all five of the first years. out of the five first years we have 3 that are black and 2 that are white. The background of the cover was black as well and that did not help at all either. When I went out to shoot before our game I saw one of the guys that works there holding and was like "this girl looks like shes in a corpes." I looked so white I actually looked like i was dead. No jokE. Like a living VAMPIRE. It was horrible. And everyone thought it was so harlious that they wanted me to sign my invisible picture.
I have always gotten white jokes becuase I am pretty much albino but it never really phased me. Until I saw myself the other day on this cover. After 19 years of refusing to go tanning, I gave in. Two of my teamates Erinn and Chelsea ( who are both very tan) finally convinced me to go with them. Plus my mom saw the cover and was like heres the credit card...go tanning. So today was the third time I've gone tanning. And all of my teamates are relaly excited to see the results. I still feel like its just not going to work and that I ligit don't have pigment but atleast I can say I offically tried everything.
So hopefully after a few more times and by the time we play games on TV I won't look like a vampire anymore. But if I do..just accept my vampire ways and LOVE ME FOR IT! :)

I think people just don't need to worry about being tan or not because when people worry about being tan they go get fake tans or whatever. When people go get those they look orange and its not attractive and its better to just stay your natural skin tone. People will learn to accept you for who you are and won't even recognize the color of your skin.
ReplyDeleteTanning causes cancer! Don't do it LBG!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about trying the tanning lotion?
Or, just embrace who you are!
I have the same problem, gotta say, and so does my red haired daughter.
People just like to have some reason to give others a hard time. Who cares about your skin tone? Really. What a silly thing for people to tease other people about. Silly.
I don't really have anything against tanning because I have done it before. But just make sure that you are doing it because you want to and not because you feel pressured or anything. If you're comfortable with the way you are then stick with it!
ReplyDeleteI have tried tanning before; just as a joke and it was freaking HORRIBLE! I personally dont know why people do it.
