Have you seen Grace since she left the Big Brother house? Every time she appears on TV she gets gingerer and gingerer. I'm not talking about her hair of course, I'm talking about her skin. In the house I thought she looked a bit lush, now she looks like some freaky woman.
What is it with the obsession amongst white people to change the colour of their skin?
(At this point I should issue a disclaimer to say that I have no prejudices against any ethnic grouping. My idea of beauty in a human being transcends all natural skin types. Nor do I have any prejudice against ginger haired people - they deserve our love too)
I have asked girls why they want to get a tan and the feeble reply usually involves the expression 'to look healthy'. Girls (and boys) looking ginger does not constitute looking healthy. To me the word 'tan' is associated with 'fake' or 'wrinkles'.
Did you know that the England Footballers Wives entourage have a team of 'tan consultants' with them in Germany? It's true, I swear it, I heard it on Terry Wogan.
