I've been hearing this cr@p all my life - what's up with people's preoccupation with tans? My arms have a light tan (that I wish would go away) because I wear short sleeves all the time, but otherwise I'm as white as the new driven snow - and I like it that way.

I don't like the bronzed look on myself, or on others (natural skin tone not withstanding). I think pale white skin looks better, and is certainly more healthy. I've become so annoyed with tanning comments that I've started telling people "get a life"...
