Jeska L Vardinski wrote: What about those professional spray-on tans? May 17 08 01:09 pm Link I like Tan or Pale...... Rachel Harrington in my last shoot was Dark Tanned........ She Came out Normal....... It has to do with light and what you like...... A good photographer can work with Pale and Tan ........... Just Bring Passion ......... ;-) May 17 08 01:09 pm Link pale skin is more fun, tan skin is flat, black skin is beautiful May 17 08 01:10 pm Link Jakki Browne wrote: I use that and they are great. May 17 08 10:28 pm Link i like both but i prefer pale on me May 17 08 10:32 pm Link i know it may sound odd - but to me, like you say i think of a tanned bleach blonde as a girl with her tits out in the Sun - i think you look beautiful pale (im naturally very very pale too) and i think black and white images - or images on black canvasses look so much more beautiful if you're pale. but that's just my humble opinion Kitty xx May 18 08 02:06 pm Link MelissaLynnette LaDiva wrote: Agreed. so many girls tan now. You stand out more with pale skin, and your natural colour is gorgeous. May 18 08 02:13 pm Link While tan does look better in photos, to me beautiful is beautiful...and you are beautiful! I think you will get work whether you are tan or pale. May 18 08 02:14 pm Link Whether tan or pale, I prefer they don't have tan lines. I guess I prefer pale to tan. If I want a darker model, I'll hire a latin model. Also remember that ALL tan is damage to the skin. May 18 08 02:14 pm Link it's all good. May 18 08 02:15 pm Link Bring back pale. Its sooo 80s. LOL. And all I can do. I need pretty faces with pale bodies like you to lead the way. 'Cause I CAN'T tan. Damn skin cancer! May 18 08 02:18 pm Link I have heard recently that pale is very "in" in the fashion industry...so I don't think it will hurt you. You have a great skin tone! May 18 08 02:53 pm Link I am insanely white and I like it that way. Keep it o naturale. May 20 08 06:42 pm Link Pale and proud! I think that pale skin photographs younger and fresher. May 20 08 06:47 pm Link tanning beds wreak havoc on coloured tattoos after a while.... sucks the life right out of them go natural! May 20 08 06:47 pm Link Hey your darker than me lol YAY FOR PALE SKIN!!! May 20 08 06:48 pm Link Pale all the way! I get compliments on my dark hair and porcelain skin all the time. It's a cool contrast. May 20 08 06:49 pm Link Kylie Ann wrote: hell yeah girl! same here May 20 08 06:52 pm Link Katya V Vall wrote: Yeah! Awesome :] May 20 08 06:58 pm Link funny enough i kinda prefer pale models especially female with red hair and being pale,to me it's sexy.

Also, a pale natural skin tone girl, in my point of view, looks more dramatic, more fragile, more ethereal, unreachable, untouchable, you'd never find her at the beach or shrimp red and drunk at a Cancun club... You know what I mean?, the archetype of girl I like the most? Sophisticated, lots of class and spending endless hours studying the classics, playing Rachmaninoff.... Ahhhhh!..... what a vision!!! May 20 08 07:13 pm Link You might look more pale in person but your looks good in the pale images looks like a healthy glow. May 20 08 07:16 pm Link I say pale. I'm half English, and half Dutch and live in Canada so I'm normally very pale. If I try to tan, I end up burning savagely and then I get dark, but I don't see a point in that so I don't. Also, I like scars, which are hidden by tanning, as well as I find a lot of times tans can hide imperfections, which I'd rather embrace than stow away. May 20 08 07:28 pm Link Wow - I hate to go against the grain here, but I have to say tan. No, I don't mean go to the tanner every other day - but a little color gives me a little bit of life and I just feel better about myself when I have a bit of a tan. I'd try the spray tan, if I were modeling full time!! I don't think you have much to worry about either way girlie - your port rocks! May 21 08 03:34 pm Link One thing I have noticed, makeup can look 100 times better on paler skin. It can so easily get lost in your tan. May 21 08 03:52 pm Link Either will work well for you but my preference would be a light, healthy looking tan. Kick ass looks and port! May 21 08 03:53 pm Link pale all the way May 21 08 03:54 pm Link stay pale. it looks a lot better when photographed and with pale skin you are more versitle. you can always make pale skin tan, but to make tan skin pale is much harder, I get more work being a redhead and pale then I ever did being blonde pale/tan. and now im not geting any work bc Im sun burnt and a tomato : ( May 21 08 03:57 pm Link People who are naturally a beautiful "pale" color make me jealous. I pale out to hot dog brown. It's not pretty. My vote is: PALE. May 22 08 01:47 am Link I'm pale and have been so for a while since I stay out of the sun for the most part(also health issues).I'm part portuguese so I tan really easily but in the long run UV rays wreak havoc on your skin(seen it happen to my mom). Great thing about pale skin is no tan lines and personally I think it has a "fresher" look! May 22 08 04:47 am Link Pale. The tan makes you look similar to Paris Hilton which is my opinion isn't the best thing to look like. With the pale skin though you look lovely. May 22 08 04:52 am Link I really don't care as long as there are no tanlines. May 22 08 05:03 am Link when your brain is as attractive as your butt ,it's called perfection tan or not tb May 22 08 05:08 am Link pale for sure, plus you will look better longer, i can make you look tan in post if i need to. May 22 08 05:08 am Link pale all the way! May 22 08 11:05 am Link Anything but a farmers tan. Those are so hard to fix May 22 08 01:46 pm Link Personally, I prefer models who are a uniform 18% gray. May 22 08 03:37 pm Link You look amazing tan. You glow May 22 08 03:42 pm Link Lyndsay Johnson wrote: Just curious... What color is your skin now? May 22 08 03:43 pm Link |
