I'm Pale and Proud

The only foundation I’ve ever used is a pale, slate grey, usually mixed with some sand, cinder, and some cement. Makes for a decent block foundation on which to lay some sill plate. Excavation dependent on the soil I’m working with . . .

Myself, however, I tend to sport the “farmers tan”. Sure, I look good when I’m wearing clothes, but when I go to the beach, most people are advised to wear welding glasses (I’m so pale, I gleam that much).

WARNING: Do not look at me directly with the naked eye.

My friends call me “Casper the Snarky Ghost”. The parts of me that never see the sun are glaringly pale. I burn easily and never tan ever. Typical redhead.

The funny part is I’m a quarter Cherokee, yet paler than anyone in my family. Recessive genes, please check in…

I’m Finnish, so that partly explains it, but my brother and I are the only pale ones in the family.

I concur.

This could be my portrait.

Well, almost. I’ve got translucent skin also. My veins are all too visible through my skin.

Someone keeps telling me I’m pink. And that I glow in the dark.

Surely those must be super powers, eh?

I had to go to the tanning salon for two weeks before my wedding just to pinken up ever so slightly. That way, I could tell the difference between my skin and my wedding gown.

No, No!! My dress doesn’t have long sleeves and a high collar, that’s just my skin tone, thank you very much!!

The day after my wedding, I was back to being colorless.

But that’s O.K. The redhair and green eyes make up for it. :wink:
