An Open Rant to Kim Kardashian - REALLY?!
Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes, Beauty Tips
Dear Kim, This is picture is SO wrong on SO many levels.
First of all, you're a celebrity. Or at least you're trying to be. Sure, even Hollywood's shining stars may get a sunburn once in awhile, but they would never, ever, in a million years, publicize it to millions of people on Twitter (well, maybe Ashton Kutcher, but he's goofy and endearing, and you're not). If Scarlett Johansson toasted her tushie, do you think she'd post it for the world to see? Um, no.
Secondly, DO YOU KNOW HOW DAMAGING SUNBURNS ARE TO YOUR SKIN? Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. Every year there are more than one million cases diagnosed - that's more than the COMBINED incidences of breast, lung, prostate and colon cancers. Oh, and 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Don't believe me? Then check out The Skin Cancer Foundation, where all these fun facts came from.
And even if the term "cancer scare" doesn't resonate with you, I can certainly speak to you in a language that will. How about "You'll look 45 by the time you're 30?". Like a dried up raisin in a pile of plump Hollywood flesh. Gotcha, didn't I?
