Lights playing funny tricks

[PanAnna]

I hate going outside! I look so nice and toasty brown when I am inside and then I go outside in the bright hot Florida sun (yes, I am whining) and I look so PALE. Do you look dark even in the glaring sun?

[njchica]

yup. but remember I'm in Jersey... we've got a lot of smog and stuff.

[PanAnna]

So that's your secret to a darker tan, chica? Hee hee!

[colorgod]

I know I feel soooooo pale in some light.

[Greta]

maybe I have a better tan than I thought then.....but I wear alot of light colors this time of year too.

[colorgod]

oh yeah the light colors help. I just feel all dark and sexy, and then I got out in the sun and I'm like what the f***

[Greta]

yeah, but when you are wearing white or something really light it is awesome to look down at tanned legs and pretty feet.

[colorgod]

I wore white yesterday and looked hot.

[Greta]

cause it was 90 there? (teasing) yeah I love the play off of whites.

[meltdbutta]

Flourescent (sp) lights Suck for your skin...
Listen to George Carlin for what this light does to you...

melty

[colorgod]

yeah, Melty I agree. I hate it when I go in bathrooms and look in the mirrors. Those lights are soooooo harsh.

[tr0nado]

Wear white clothing!
And I agree, when I step outside, I don't look as dark compared to when indoors. I think its because everything's brighter especially on low humidity days when the sky is real blue (my favourite weather!).

[Anya1976]

i finally thought i looked dark in the sun today lol but usually i feel pale outside i've heard it just me and i am dark.... you know how tanorexia is lol

[sunbunny]

I look dark as long as I'm wearing my sunglasses. But as soon as I take them off, I think I look pale. I like to stand next to pale people to make me look darker. This works better than worrying what colors I'm wearing. Only problem is making sure I have someone white beside me at all times.

[LavenderFleur]

Light blue also makes tanned skin look terrific!

[colorgod]

I love the light pastel colors with a tan. Pastel Orange looks really great with a dark tan.

i am so not a pastel kind of chick lol except for that baby blue blouse i bought with the flaired sleeves... i love it

[Greta]

color, I sooo agree on the light orange, coral thing. My tan plays off that color better than any other (except white!)
and on my toes a brownie colored polish or tomato red looks awesome!

Love the coral, too. Also pale yellow and light lime green.

I have my toes done in pink and white acrylic and that, too, looks good with brown skin.

[colorgod]

PanAnna all of those colors work very well.

[njchica]

I don't know how I feel about a guy who wears pastels.

[Dchan]

I love wearing White with a tan...the funny thing is that people notice my teeth before my tan because they say tanning makes my teeth look really white, lol, how funny is that? HAHA

[CarSmithUGA]

haha.. im the same way.. i wear light colors when i am really dark.. i just got my braces off and got my teeth whitened and my tan makes my teeth look really white! I guess when its light color against dark colors, they stand out more.

[colorgod]

Chica, I only wear pastels when I'm dark. I'm one of those guys I'm confident enough to wear whatever I want.

[njchica]

sure color...

[Greta]

I have seen men pull off some colors I would look too frou frou in....depends on the guy

[Brown Buns]

I got the same comment about my teeth by the way what is frou frou?

[colorgod]

What a person wears is there business! So is masculinity determined by what color he wears????

[njchica]

colorgod, I'm TEASING!!!! wow someone sure is sensitive about wearing pastels.

that being said, I don't think any of the guys I've dated have ever worn pastels. My last boyfriend was a lifeguard and he was suuuuuuuuuuper dark... but he was more of a blue, orange, green kinda guy.

[Greta]

frou frou = prissy

[Laurel]

I feel so dark inside and my legs always seem to look dark but my arms are another story. Do you ever feel like your arms aren't as dark as the rest of you? I have been using a tingle on them to help them out a little bit.

I'm still a blue, orange, green kinda a guy, but I like to mix in some pastels from time to time.

I totally get when you are teasing!!!!

[tr0nado]

Besides white, colour wise, I don't do pastels well. I like darker colours or bright colours. I also like stripes.
What's really funny is whenever I go to a Hastings book store and if I'm wearing my dark green shirt, I get mistaken for a Hastings employee!

[colorgod]

I also like to wear black!

[Greta]

I do in winter, but you look so much lighter in it.

[colorgod]

My favorite color to wear though is blue. Med. and light blue are awesome on me!

[Greta]

the warm colors seem to do better on me, like coral and yellow and RED

[lilmountaingrrl]

Im new here, but i just had to put my two cents worth in.... The color Torqouise looks amazing one someone with a tan! It's my signiture color. Everyone who knows me knows that i wear torqouise when i want to feel tropical and exotic. Mix that color with a tan, and it's like you've been to the bahamas.

[Greta]

and seeing how it is a very "in" color of the moment, all the more reason to wear it

[nitrooverride]

Color! you like to wear black in the hot sun?

[colorgod]

Sometimes if I'm not out there very long. I like to wear black when I'm going out on the town.

[shadow]

when i wear white i look pale, but when i wear black (i try to) i look more tan

[tiger tan]

Well it is almost Spring and those pastel colors are popping up all over. I love to wear white near my face it makes me feel so dark, but them so does black. Go figure.
