good day sunshine
outside is a good thing ™. mmm. spent the afternoon a couple days back photographing people on the street. umbrellas in the sun fascinate me, women do not under any circumstances want a tan so they twirl about on foot and bicycle (that one really impressed me, I can barely navigate downtown traffic on bicycle with both hands) with pretty rain umbrellas saving their delicate features. better this than whitening cream (oh my the things we do for fashion). on a good sun day the light you can catch through the umbrella colors is quite lovely. will take a while to process, though. sorry.
of course, today rained, well, drizzled really. spent the afternoon trying, unsuccessfully, to find the tailor where I’d dropped off material to make a skirt. probably should have been paying more attention. note to self, remember where you leave things. yeah, that might work.

Yes I’ve necountered this interesting bent that the Chinese (and other Asian) women have for white skin, and the fear of sunshine.
It’s quite the opposite to that of Australian women…
I might add that I am not a fan of make-up, I prefer ‘natural beauty’.

agreed. but there’s a world of difference between clogging a few pores with foundation and rubbing acid on your skin. one’s a bit of a waste of time and money. the other, well, ouch.
guess women of the world want whatever skin color it is they don’t have.
