I hate fake tan, but I'm that self conscious without it, I wouldn't wear a dress or short sleeved top. The last time I wore a dress without tan, I stepped in a lift to be called Casper and be told I'd be far more attractive with a tan. I guess that's always stuck with me. People don't realise the impact of commenting that you look poorly, tired, or suggesting you have a vitamin deficiency. No, I'm just incredibly pale and burn even whilst wearing factor 50.
People are dicks. Where I'm originally from (not the UK), the fashion when I was young was being very (as in VERY) tan. Never been my thing. Plus I'm very pale, and in fact have since developed PMLE (sun allergy) so I absolutely cannot be in the sun. I've been called a corpse, and this is when I was young and fresh faced! But then again, how many times did a stranger tell me I would look prettier if I smiled, and I don't go around with a wide grin to please people.
Seriously, I think being pale is beautiful, and nobody should make you feel self conscious about it. There's many examples of beautiful porcelain skin women, and that someone would have said something like this to you makes me really angry.
And yes, I understand the impact people's words can have. Sending you a hug. I'm sure you are beautiful, and sorry for the rant.

You say that, but I always wondered what type of mother she would have been, being so shallow and immature herself. Sorry, not meaning to kick someone when they're down. This is something I always wondered with her.Most recent pic she’s just put up, makes me feel so sad for her, they really suit holding a baby.
Poor Alex and her family and friends.
