Melanin in me






I'm in the Carolinas... perhaps not in the most glamorous of places.

Four words:

I am so tan.

But to add: Myrtle Beach is still sort of a backwater kind of place. A place where people don't hesitate to tell me that I'm "exotic." To which they add, "But not in a bad way". I guess they mean the exotic dancer way? Otherwise, I'm not sure why that's supposed to be offensive.

We could break that down and say how sad it is that people are ingrained to think "different" is bad and further discuss why the word 'exotic' might be demeaning...

but I'd really rather just admire the extremity of my current tanline.
