all good thoughts, brat!! i no longer have a tush, i have long thighs, bust to knees! i have always maintained that tan fat looks thinner than oatmeal fat. so i do a moderate amount of skin damage via the sun, and top it off with jergens fake tanning moisturizer. this way i get natural vitamin d and get to float in the pool, in and out of the shade. floating makes my fibro nearly vanish. shoulda been a mermaid but couldn't hold my breath long enough!
