Now if they could just find the hunkiness gene, we'll be all set. We'll all die of cancer, but we'll all make such beautiful, tan corpses ...

It's all about balance. If I were any whiter, I'd be transparent. I'd welcome any assistance with tanning...

I'm not sick about my brown skin. Sick of other people's hang ups about it, maybe. But it couldn't be more apparent how they doth protest too much, with the tanning, lip jobs and ass implants going around.

So do they know if this will help cure albinoism or vitiligo?

I have brown skin and I love it. I'll never get "sick" about it. Thank you.

i saw that ad in the current issue of OUT and just about fell in love. it's not that it's so different from other fashion ads per se, it's just soooo sexy and evocative.
