My boss (or should I say coworker?) and I were having a disagreement
concerning tan lines. I think they are sexy... He disagrees. What
do you people out in net.land think?

I agree with your boss. Personally, I prefer an even tan, all
over. That's why I'm especially fond of the beaches in Southern France.
Well, one reason anyway.

Clearly, if you see a tan line, you are seeing skin not
usually displayed... This is generally something interesting...

In addition to your bosse's opinion, it would be a good idea to ask your
doctor what the latest statistics are concerning tans and cancer. More
and more, the research in this area shows that there is a high incidence of
skin melenomas with increased exposure to the sun. In addition to cancer,
the skin dries out, wrinkles, and ages prematurely. A doctor will tell you
that a good tan is a sign of the skin trying to protect itself from the sun,
and is in effect an unhealthy state to be in. Sorry to dampen all you sun
worshipper's parades, but in this 'enlightened' age of health oriented atti-
tudes, I just couldn't resist telling it like the meds say it is. One more
thing, the premature aging of the skin is irreversible, once wrinkled always
wrinkled. On an upbeat note, most skin cancers are usually very curable.

By the way, I'm not with out vices, I'm a smoker, regrettably so. I hate
it, I don't advocate it, I don't lie to myself about the dangers, and I
want to quit as much as I've ever wanted anything. I just wish my only vice
was sunbathing, I believe it would be much easier to quit that then smoking.
I love the sun, I feel gerrrreat when I'm out in it, but I just can't bring
myself to pour oil all over my body and cook in it for three or four hours
a day.
