Of course! I'm very pale and I always use maximum protection (the one for the kid)

More intellectual beach time here, if you are bored on the way in the train :)

Good to hear you're taking care of your skin. My mother has to have pre-cancerous growths burned off twice a year and her father died of a melanoma in this 30s. So I worry!

I worked with a woman from New Jersey who would come in to work all orange from the tanning beds. I asked her, "why are you doing this to yourself? I think you look beautiful with pale skin."

And she said, "Maybe if you were single I'd give a shit what you thought."

I have a cousin with a melanoma and I have a lot of moles, so I do worry too.
The story of that woman is hilarious.
Ahahah!
I have 2 uncles in New Jersey. They are 100% Sicilians migrated there 40 years ago, now American citizens, Republicans, made 11 children who are grown up and don't speak Italian anymore, but they are married with other Italian descendants.
In 2010 I visited them for 2 months (yes, I came all the way to America to go to New Jersey!?!) and everybody was eating delicious authentic Italian food.
I was involved in the Baptism of a newborn and the hall was full of exactly the type of people who would tan and wear this type of hat.

I figured out the reaon Jersey Show is a thing there.
