Girlie Thread - Dry Shampoo

I use fake tan to look like Dale winton.

The question of why white people use tan is simply aesthetic.

It evens out your skin tone and gives an appearance of health which is attractive. It makes your teeth and eyes look whiter and therefore more healthy.

It has nothing to do with trying to imitate another race.

Morbyd, sorry but you have turned a thread about beauty products into an unneccessary row.

I'm not surprised Dan x is wound up.

"We're all taught (in subtle fashion, through the media mainly) that white is better, but not too white or else you look 'pasty' or 'unhealthy'. So you try to get tan to look more like us darker folk... the same people who face discrimination for being darker! There's just no logic to it, really..."

Sorry, but sweeping statements such are condescending in the extreme. It's quite alarming that such obvious resentment is bubbling under your surface.
 
I don't "resent" anything! :lol:

Again, it was only a half-serious comment at the onset... I should have put more smiley faces in it, after all I suppose it does hit some major sociological issues (aside from the obvious solution of not having written it in the first place).

I certainly did not intent to be condescending. If it was taken as such, I apologize, though I can only imagine it feels that way if you took it personally, which was not my intent.

Are we done now? Can we drop it? :D
 
I know I use fake tan just to have a nice glow, as admitttly everyone looks better with a bit of a tan, or that nice healthy glow. I personally hate being pasty white, just makes me look ill and peaky.
 
Consider it dropped.

(for the record i don't use fake tan, it's a "tinted moisturiser" - really it is)
 
This dry shampoo has been out for ages, but aimed at old people, and it stinks :evil:

I shall go and try the one you suggested Barbie. It isn't good to wash your hair too often, plus I would rather have 15mins extra pillow time in the morning!
 
(sorry one more tan comment!! but I thought it was funny)

The whole idea of a tan being a good thing is cultural.

When I lived in Japan, I went away to Cambodia for Christmas and when I came back, some of the teachers at the school I worded at said to me regarding my tan

"aahhhh!!!!Do not worry Me-ri-ru (my name in Japan!) your dark tan will soon fade... and then a woman gave me some moisturiser with a bleaching ingredient in it! :lol: :lol: 9wchich many many moisturisers in Japan have!)

and here I was thinking I looked glowing and healthy!:lol:
 
Hmm.... I should get me some Japanese moisturiser. I wonder if Michael Jackson knows of a good supplier in the States? :lol:
