Oh dear

So thanks to yesterday's unexpected continuous hours of sunlight, I am very stripey. My shirt had a kind of v-shaped collar, so I've got a clearly-defined V pointing down between my tits, and also my arms are one colour (well, brown and red; I burned a bit, which is freakish - I didn't burn in Hawai'i! ;_; ) until they get to a rising arc below my shoulders, at which point there is a CLEAR AND DEFINED LINE to Northerner Pastey White.

I've tried the sunbathing-in-inverse-clothes thing before, I'm not any good at sunbathing in general. So I don't actually know what to do about this.

I think I still have you beat, at least on the legs. Repeated weeekend bike trips of up to 50 miles per day have left me with a very neopolitan look. From hips down, it's:

Pasty white thighs
2 inch band above knees which is sort of pinky brown
above and below kneecaps which is a kind of mocha brown
calves which are sort of the same color as knees, but shins which are more like the pinky brown
And the cherry:
2 angry burn lines (sort of dark coffee/rust color) above my ankles where I missed a thin stripe above each sock when I was sunblocking.
Whipped cream: pasty white feet

It's very exciting, especially since the whole parade is happening well below the level of every pair of shorts I own.
