That makes me seriously ugly thenOriginally Posted by tx75070:
oh ok Well nowdays i see a lot of british ppl wearing fake tans or wanting to get a tan while risking skin cancer/damage.Originally Posted by JBest:
Trends have some influence too. When Louis Koo was the hottest thing in HK, you'd see tons of guys with skin darker than east indians, and with mullets.
I observed that it is still o.k. for male cantopop stars to be tanned but female stars stay pale as if drenched in SKII. Hacken Lee looks like he takes his naps in tanning beds.
Seesh. I'm an ABC who used to be so tanned I blended into Hawaii like a local. I've stayed out of the sun nowadays even forgoing outdoor sports which I like. Mindful of discrimination, I've been very concious of the fact I tan really easily and have made a dire effort not to get any darker. First thing I noticed upon arrival is that I'm still really tanned compared to everyone else except the construction workers.
Yep, I totally second tx on this. Money talks and talks and talks. It is quite sickening, isn't it?
To me it isnt the colour of the skin, but the quality of maintenance that counts. Healthy, smooth, glowing skin looks fabulous whether pink, yellow or chocolate brown. Whitening creams need to find their address in trash cans.
Everyone has their preferences. Who cares?
Yah, but white skin has been a trend in China for hundreds of years. You could call it preference.Originally Posted by -jC-:
yea everyone prefers different things. The only thing that annoys me is my cousin, everytime i visit i want to go to the beach but she never comes because she don't want to get tanned ^-^
