Sun Worship

"Growing up a surfie girl our boyfriends would urge us to cut out their names in paper,
tape them to our stomachs, then sunbake so we'd get a tan tattoo in the shape of their names.
Consequently, if I ever get skin cancer I'll have a melanoma called Bruce"

Kathy Lette - Puberty Blues

Australians love the beach and the sun so much so we have the highest incidence of skin cancer
in the world, I remember at school we used to spend our lunch hours covered in baby oil and
lying in the sun topping up our tans. We all know now that sun baking leads it skin cancer but their
will always be those who value the tan over their long term health.
