the Fair, the Tan and the Rest of Us

Everyone looks better with a tan.  Whenever I glance at my arms I can't help but think, "ugh, I am so pasty!"  My legs are even worse.  While the best tan is the one you can get on vacation at the beach, any color will really do.  For example, Kristen Stewart--a beautiful girl, and quite pale.  But there's a shot in "Breaking Dawn" where she has clearly had some fun in the sun.  After seeing her like that, it's hard to appreciate the pasty white color she usually rocks.  I mean, look: Doesn't she look happy, relaxed and TAN? That's probably the worst photo to explain my point, but that's the scene for those who are paying attention.  No, I am not some crazy Twi-hard.  The same goes for Nicole Kidman:  Don't think this really classifies as "tan," but there's some flush in her face. Don't misunderstand, alabaster skin is beautiful, and Nicole K. can definitely pull it off.  I can appreciate a nice ghost look, especial...
