Title: funny tans lines
Post by: aquilegia on May 10, 2004, 16:38:45
I've just realised that my sun tan on my arms starts at the bottom of my t-shirt sleeves, half way up my upper arm and ends at my wrists. Due to wearing gloves when digging (I get far too many blisters otherwise) and also when riding, my hands are virtually untanned!

Last summer I had a thin strip of brown across my lower back due to the gap that's formed between the bottom of my t-shirt and the top of my jeans. (NOT, I hasten to add, of the builder's variety!)

Any funny tan lines on you?

Same as you aqui, on the arms - and a deep tan across the back of my neck where my baseball cap doesn't provide any shade... I once tried one of those floppy cricket hat jobs, but it is often breezy on our site and it wouldn't stay on my head!

And a perfectly shaped "watch" on my wrist!  Oh and the fronts or unders of my arms are never as brown - must be because I always seem to be on my knees with arms outstretched weeding!

My calves always go a wonderful shade of brown long before the rest of my legs.  Spend too long kneeling down weeding!   :o  My neck, same as you ladies with the slash on my lower back and hands, can't wear gloves, mind you, often dissapointed as the tan washes down the plug hole as I wash the mud off my hands!  ;D
