Fake tan is really difficult to get right. When I was younger, I'd always do it wrong. I'd leave it on and forget to wash it off. So I embrace being pale. I like getting a tan, but I also think that if you're going to do it, it has to be gradual. I just work the pale thing now.
I believe that God locates himself at the spot where you recognize your own fallibility. . . . And the paradox of it all has been that whenever I give up I seem to do better.
