I think I'm going to blame the Romans for showing up some centuries ago and propagating swarthiness in the population.

I'd love to tan on the way to mailbox. I just sunburn, and then peel and I'm pale again. Sometimes I look kind of jaundiced for a couple days afterwards, but it's not much of a tan.

I used to tweeze my moustache entirely, but that was a big pain. The waxing was mostly a success, but I think I'm going to have to do another pass tomorrow night.

The only salon that does waxing around here has an unpleasant woman for an owner, so I don't go there. Le sigh!
