A narrator protests unfair skin color results and yearns for a tan. She questions pigment loss, recalls dark hair and eyes, and describes risking burns to achieve a sun bronzed look. She likens her skin to roasting and notes red tones instead of browning.
A staff column laments tanning envy and vanity, comparing beachgoers to Malibu Barbie and Coppertone ads. The writer weighs sun exposure, the lure of a tan, potential eye damage, and the cost of tanning centers, acknowledging progress yet fearing regret. The piece ends noting a faint improvement on the arms as turning point.
