"Ugh, I'm so white"

We've all heard it.

"Ugh, I'm so white!  I need to go tanning."

I'll admit it.

I used to be one of those girls.

I felt pressured to feel like I needed to be tan.

But the following is how my skin reacts to high amounts of sun or UV rays:

-I get hives that itch and are highly uncomfortable

-I get a blotchy uneven sunburn as apposed to a glowing tan

-Many times I've had sunburns that kill, I mean kill

-After my sunburn fades, there is only freckles that replace it

Also, I just frankly didn't like tanning beds.  I felt like I was being baked in an oven.  And you stink after.  Ugh.

So I came to the conclusion like 2 years ago that white skin was ok for me.  I hate to admit it, but there was one book that highly contributed to this new embracing in my life: Twilight.  If vampires rocked it, why couldn't I?  I like fair skin.  I like not seeking constantly after the next tanning bed.  I think fair skin is pretty.  I think it's elegant.

Here's some pictures of gorgeous girls I found with very fair, white skin.

Rose from Titanic

My and my sister watched Titanic last night

I couldn't get over this women's white glow

I would love if I had gorgeous red hair like her

This is the lady I nannied for 2 summers ago

She attempted acting most of her life

First time I met her I said: "Wow, you're gorgeous"

She was obsessed with keeping her skin white

She would keep sun screen with her at all times

Oh how I love Zooey

Her white skin fits her

Don't know who this girl is but she's gorgeous

Despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of her acting

And I can't understand how she'd cheat on her husband Ryan Renalds

I do think she rocks the white elegant look
