Little girls bouncing around the markets with their faces caked in talcum-powder are a very bizarre sight indeed.

I had no idea about that. Just goes to show that the advertising giants really do have us all wrapped around their little fingers. That’s crazy! I had no idea about that.

I find it horrifying. Post colonial self hated, inernalising of white racist values. I don't know if that applies in Thailand. Maybe we just all want what we can't have. I find the orange is slightly less alarming, it's not BLEACHING your skin and it's more cosmetically than racially motivated. Still, it's all so sad. We should be after health.

Best of both worlds! Hails- Do embrace the whiteness!! It's also a lot less painful. Ow. Grannymar- That's it!! Everybody should move closer to Sellafield! GrowUp- Haha I'm picturing groups of disembodied skin wandering around airports looking for directions to their host families. Epidermis Lost.
