So, as I was walking up the hill (no, not The Hill, but a hill) to school yesterday, I was noting all the girls who had dyed their hair a lighter color, which normally ends up a mousy brown. (You cannot dye your hair in high school, so they all go a little crazy in college.) At 9:00 in the morning, many of them had their parasols open so that they wouldn't darken their skin and I am sure that they had applied layers and layers of the whitening cream available in the stores.
What does all this skin lightening and dyeing their hair mean? Yip, they are paying a fortune in time, money and energy to look like .... me! I wonder how horrified they would be if I told them that in class today?
