Question, Some of you know that I got a tan on the cruise. But the funny thing is I only tan half way up my legs. I had on tights, looking cute and forgot to spray legs with sun screen. I have temporary knee Hi's. What do I do? You no black folks don't tan at least not this one. And by the way one leg is coffee and the other is beige. So now I am 3 different shades. OH MY, it is so funny. You think amber(sp) cream may work. I tried to sit in the sun yesterday but it was hot. haha

WHAT DO I DO!!!!!

Am I suppose to cover up

Girl told ya African American run from the sun. No tan do we need. The sun is awesome and a very good way to get some V-D. But the rays can also do damage to the skin. Coppertone here I come.

I was watch something on TV day before yesterday. They were did a test on what sun tan lotion is the best to use. Out of all the brand names. Wal-green brand bet all of them out. What we think is the best and cost more is not always the way to go.

I would send a picture but I forgot how to use the web cam on this thing. We I remember I'll send pic. And don't you laugh.

I'm confused, is the tan on your lower legs or your upper legs? I hate recommending tanning but I think the only thing you can do is even it out by tanning only the untan part!

I am lol..laughing that is... i seriously wouldnt worry about it i only tan my front side lol... so theback side if it gets any sun is WAY littler then my front.. i am dark for me lol... and my reasoning is.. I dont care if they are looking atthe back side it is the front that counts Laughing Smiles pretty Smile I always where sun block.. i have to keep my prestine skin looking fabulous.. Smile but sriosly look int othe sunless taning lotions no sun required and comes in 4 or 5 color shades and apply it daily on the one leg it will catch up in no time Smile i use the sunless tanning lotions in october or november if i have events to go to... to keep the regular tan longer Smile i am so white i glow Smile so tanning tones down the AHHHHHH effect Laughing

Y'all stop laughing @RW, right this minute. You don't want to hurt her striped feelers. lol Heck, Adweyn and all, folks around me are calling me "Casper" and wearing dark sunshades around me. Believe it! What family and friends won't do to a puny girl....

RW- the first step is admitting that you have zebra legs, say it out loud and embrace your new normal. Release the shame, maybe find a meeting, maybe Zebra Legs R Fabulous? Open up, set it free. Zebra Legs are Beautiful.

Gotta run for now,

Casper
