lol, i get thong tan lines in summer on my feet too.


maybe a good natural fake tan, and sunscreen on your knee's so that you will not tan?

I used to have the most hectic shirt tan. You could see how long my sleeves were.

But that was a couple of summers ago, so it's gone.

I don't tan at all. White to burn.

I remember when I used to to sailing. It'd be tanned from sleeve down to where the gloves start, normal hand and tanned fingers. So hectic

ive never tried fake tan before.. cos my skin is already naturally tan.. it just gets alot darker in the sun LOL i tan really easily. ill try the sunscreen but i have a feeling it provokes a tan rather than preventing it haha. and thong tans are pretty bad too haha =P

lol
i got a spray tan once
worst experience ever. i was bright orange and the tan got into the folicles on my legs thus giving me brown dots all over.
that was a horrid period in my life. was teased so much lol.



but simple solution: don't wear long socks with short skirts.
wear ankle socks and give your legs a lovely tan.
i hate the long socks/very short skirt look. so skanky and bogan

i was once an advocate lol. long, straightened hair left out, short skirt, rolled up school sleeves, long socks and ballet flats.
but mind you i was doing this three years ago.
private school uniform ftw

That sounds like every other schoolgirls ever pretty much, except for nerds. The truly skanky thing to do is wear a shirt thats too small and roll the top of your skirt down to make it shorter at the knee and show off more midriff

haha i have one.
when i went waterskiing, i wore a wetsuit which ended just above my knees and then the exposed parts of my legs got sunburnt which left a very nasty tan line. which i still have.

no short shorts for me for a while :(

I surf daily and get hand, ankle and neck tanlines just before summer starts and it's too cold to wear a springsuit (I have a pretty poor cold threshold) which is looks pretty funny until it's nice enough to wear a rashy and boardies. Then i get a tanline on the back of my legs that looks like a cigarette and i'm a guy who likes wearing footy shorts a lot so you know it's all on show.

I have terribly embarassing year ten memories of using block out to write 'system' 'of' 'a' 'down' on four peoples backs using sunscreen. Sort of worked, but the down looked more like "downer" so they weren't best thrilled...
