I’m like this, but glowing with a slightly blue hue..

Aw, I wish Jane was still doing Pigeon Gazette. I don't think she ever posted a message about taking a break or quitting, just kind of disappeared.

It looks heavily edited, based on her top being nearly as pale as she is when it almost certainly shouldn't be, and the fact that I’m very likely the same color.

The good news is if you are that pale, laying in the sun -being an activity you don't do often- is actually pretty uncomfortable. And doing nothing else while laying in the discomfort doesnt last long because how boring (unless you fall asleep I suppose). If you are the sort who can just do sunbathing, you probably aren't the sort to be casper white.

It looks to me like she's actually covered in sand? The bottoms of her feet aren't as white.

FREE LEATHER ARMOUR!!!

theyre different processes

sun tanning: skin cells' melanin production increased in response to uv exposure, darkening the skin

leather tanning: plant tannins or chromium salts toughen the skin into leather by restructuring the proteins

The melting point of a Paddy is 25C.

Some of us tan, but most either burn or freckle.

My husband got burned through a T-shirt

Depends on their other genetics. My wife has red hair and blue eyes, but due to a sizeable dose of NA genetics she tans.

we're on air

I fear for you. Wear sunscreen.
