That (Blades of Passion's link to Brian Orser's program) was great! 
About tanning, I think it is a caste thing. Back in the day, it you were on top of the heap you sat in your castle all day. If you did have to go out, a servant followed you holding up a parasol so that the rays of the sun would not insult your fair skin.
The lower classes, on the other hand, had to labor in the hot sun, so they got sunburnt and leathery.
Nowadays it is the opposite. If you are a "working class" person you slave away indoors in your office or factory and get pale. The leisure class can lay around on the beach working on their tan. So now dark is good and pale is bad.
In traditional translations of the Bible the Queen of Sheba says, "Black am I but beautiful." In present day translations she says, "Black am I and beautiful."

OMG, I truly belong to the 'working class' slogging away in the office.:disapp: I will now endeavour to be a beach bum during the weekends. The flip side ..... it is known that the sun's ultra v rays contribute to skin cancer as least in the southern hemisphere. Solariums are just recently deemed illegal in my country as too many people wants to look exotic. Maybe the sun rays in the north is safer?. Lucky are the ones with natural tan.
