That's right. What an objectionable human being I am. I worked hard, hard, hard all winter and spring to preserve the snow like fairness I enjoy so much. I hid from the suns damaging rays. I hid under tree's during recess duty, sat under beach umbrella's and took a job that kept the UVA out of my life. Then the beach came. I burned. Then day camp came and while talking about how I had skin cancer to some other counselors I let my knees burn! Burn, burn, burn! I feel the inferno on my skin as we speak. I can imagine the little cancerous growths bubbling up! Jen (Oh wise and mighty lifeguard) counseled me to reapply my sunblock. How do I repay her? With sun burn. I kind of miss my deathly pallor. It suited me. I felt comforted by the fact that my skin reflected light to become it's own light source. No more!
Another matter of vanity: I have been doing the Lauren Conrad side braid. It's trendy and I don't do it particularly well-but it's such a good way to spice up your hairdo! It makes me feel uncomfortable that I love it, but I do. And maybe when I wear that trendy side braid in my hair I will also wear my "Team Lauren" vintage Hollister tee. (I don't really own one of those)
Vain observation number three: My husband hates my sunglasses. He says I look like a bug and that they are ridiculous and unnecessary. I like them, they make me feel like a celebrity who has to hide the majority of their face from paparazzi. I like looking like a praying mantis-so sue me!
And that's all the vanity I have in my right now.
