I'm pale. I'm Irish, Scottish and English. I do not tan and I am a walking advertisement for sunscreen.
And despite what Deadly Dermatologist Loren Owens says, suntanning is bad for me (and you.) And because of the advent of spray tanning, I am not allowed to just go Goth in the summer and rock a whiter shade of pale.

So I brave it, go in, disrobe, don a hair net, and proceed to be sprayed down looking like a water buffalo in a thong about to serve lunch to a bunch of 4th graders.
Also, I kind of look like Top Chef's Tom Colicchio here:
See what I mean?
