10 Reasons Why Being A Pale Girl Rocks

Porcelain goddesses of the world, unite!

So you're standing in the queue waiting to pay for the latest addition to your extensive shoe collection and suddenly the bouffant haired man or woman in front of you turns around... and you're temporarily blinded by an overwhelmingly orange light radiating out in your direction.

Regaining sight after a few brief yet utterly disorientating moments, you now have the pleasure of gazing upon the source of that pumpkin-powered glow.

A face that is so tanned it is hard to imagine quite how it hasn't already blinded its owner several times over that day.

Sound like a familiar scenario?

Sadly reports of uber-tan viewer blindness have sky-rocketed in recent years, and have led society to believe anything less than a bright orange face and body is undesirable.

Ok, maybe that example was at the extreme end of the tan phenomena. But there is still the belief out there that being pale is practically a cardinal sin.

But read on to find out why you should be proud of your flawlessly fair complexion, and spread the word on why being a pale girl rocks!

10. Not Being Mistaken For A TOWIE Cast Member

Of course 'The Only Way Is Essex' doesn't exactly need any more advertising than it already gets, but this is a very clear advantage to being pale.

Ever want to visit Brentwood in Essex? Great. You'll never get stopped and asked for an autograph or photo by overexcited teenage girls wearing just as much fake tan as those on the show.

Trips to shopping centres will always be embarked upon without trepidation (other than anticipating the insane crowds), as you know you don't risk being hauled up on a stage to open an envelope by a eager member of staff thinking that you're a dayglo-orange Lauren or Billie.

In fact, anyone associated with the show €“ watcher or participant, will tend to view you with suspicion, and wonder what's wrong with you. It's been so long since they've seen a natural skin colour they'll be convinced you've got some kind of nasty disease and avoid you like the plague. Hurrah!

I am a London based writer who enjoys nothing more than a quirky written assignment and a chance to air my views on every interesting topic under the sun (much to the chagrin of those around me no doubt.) My life would be nothing without: writing (of course), Supernatural, a glass or two of merlot and guinea pigs.
