you know how you always hear about "bronzed aussies"? Well that was me when I lived in Sydney & spent every other weekend at the beach surfing & checking out the cute male "bods" on the beach! hehehehehe
These days I am a lilly white with freckles every where!! LOL It isn't "cool" to have a tan these days.....Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world....& I believe that the USA is very high in that list too!
As for those fake tan creams....LOL I think a lot of them make you look like you are going to die from liver disease any day now! LOL
I remember Chrissy being all stripy too Rose....hehehe the other thing is that you have to remember to "exfoliate" before you use that stuff....otherwise you have streaks & spots as your skin flakes off!!! LOL
OK well my brother and family have just arrived for a visit.....so I will have to finish chatting to you all later.
Love, hugs & cheers
