"A Perpetual Tan"

Today Ryan told me that he thinks "pink is okay to wear year round (pink shirts, that is), but white pants can only come out in weather like this" (points expansively out at the delectable day). Another word of caution: "In winter you can't really get away with colors like yellow or green." Luckily, "this is the kind of day where I can wear my mint green pants." "What about kelly green?" I asked (turns out that reading J.Crew catalogs comes in real handy when trying to converse with the ultimate prepster). A look of disgust passes forcibly across his face: "I NEVER wear kelly green." I chose that exact moment to stand up and reveal my own kelly green skirt.

Ryan looks uncannily like George Hamilton. From a distance, I get a tad swoony because I see this.

Close up, however (and especially lately), I can't divorce him from this:


Worse, he has perfect white circles around his eyes (tell tale signs of his tanning bed goggles). His perpetual tan may become this summer's perfect storm.
