Tan lines - you never see them on Playmates anymore. What a shame.

FarmForward, hahaha...I remember in jr. high, there was a kid (farmer, FFA), who had the ultimate, textbook farmer's tan. The back of his neck was totally red, his face and arms below the short-sleeve line were combo red/tan, and the rest of him (hey, he was in my gym class) was blindingly white.

Lets not forget the "truckers tan".

Tanned left arm only.

As for me getting a tan? Where I live! Yeah! Right!

Also compared color with my buddy who's half-black and his girl (latin), I've almost got him beat, and I'm darker than she is. Well, that is until I lift my shirt up and blind everyone with my reflectiveness
Also have a nice shorts tan going now too...

Well, I have a "modified" farmer tan... arms tanned from the short sleeve line to the wrist only. Gloves keep the backs of my hands pretty white, and since I got my ears and neck sunburnt once and found out that I did'nt care for it at all, when the sun's gonna be beating down on me outside, I wear a straw cowboy hat to keep my head and neck in the shade. I'll even admit to a bottle of sunscreen in the glove compartment of my truck! Not that I use it much... but it helps cool the burn when my arms get a bit too red.


As for a "shorts tan"... sorry, not gonna happen to me. Never have worn shorts, and don't see the need to begin now.


Y'all keep on the shady side now, hear!

Right now I'm pretty much white except my arms. I had a little farmers tan going but then I wore a tank top last week and it evened out a little more. But now I have a funny U shaped tan on my chest area. Oh well I guess. At least 'the girls' finally saw some sun this year
