Tanlines?

I am Irish, so naturally light skinned. I must have a bit of Spanish blood, though - I do get nicely tanned without burning too much. I share skin-type with my mother. When I was in high school, I went to the beach with my parents after a few weeks of gorgeous tanning weather. The beach we were on was in the Dominican Republic, and was clothing optional. My mom is not a prude at all, but my Dad is and asked that we all stay dressed. A few well-shaped young women walked by, exercising the no-clothes option. They were all topless and bouncing merrily as they walked down the beach. Two were gorgeous - tanned all over. The third was Irish or some northern European descendant - my Dad said "Wow - look at those high beams!"

I wasn't sure what he meant but I had a good idea. Mom dropped her bikini top for a second, and pointed out her bright white, milky smooth Irish breast surrounded by smooth tanned flesh. My Dad laughed and said he had to wear sunglasses around Mom when they were younger and she went topless after tanning - I suppose I have mini high beams with my small boobs. Anyway, thats how I learned about tan lines in person. I am a strong supporter of all-over tans and no "high beams". LOL.

For an ethnically Indian woman, I'm quite pale skinned, but I go brown as a nut in the summer. For me, I like as even a tan as possible. Fortunately, my garden isn't overlooked so I can go topless if I like. Inevitably, I still get shoulder strap marks though. Not very sexy.

I prefer the all over tan but sometimes tan lines can't be avoided.

I hate tan lines. It looks tacky.

No tan lines here, tanned all over, and three weeks on the Cote d'Azur coming up this summer with lots of naked sunbathing. I cannot wait.
