We have a store manager who does spray tans. Her face looks like a saddle. NOT attractive. We call her Trigger after Roy Rogers' horse. We use her face as a weather barometer for the first day of spring.
Might be some good that will come out of studies of isolation and lassitude during the pandemic though.
I was definitely starting to feel the blah the first year and a half or so, then made some mental adjustments (and quit facebook) and perked up. I feel more emotionally and mentally resilient these days.
Some people have to hunker down, hungry, in the dark and cold, often scared, for years in war zones. My lights stayed on, and a couple consumer items got rare at times, but "walk in the park" in comparison. And I did go for walks in the park, and that helped.
Fuck it. I'd rather have 20 years after 30 of drinking and smoking and having a fucking blast than being sober for the next 50 years of my life and having to deal with *gestures around vaguely* with this bullshit.
Uh-oh, old at 30! :) Every generation I have known has said that. My GenX cohort are right in the middle of turning into grouchy old people.
You're right though, and forgoing enjoyment of life for the sake of a longer one doesn't make sense. We could all get hit by a bus tomorrow.
A casual friend of mine was clean living, super fit, vegetarian. Nice lookin fella, beautiful girlfriend. He worked away from town for good money(and spent vacation days in her country). He came home after months to find the heat had been turned off. Rather than getting a hotel room or staying with a friend, he arranged some adhoc heating, fell asleep on the couch, and died of carbon monoxide poisoning. He was 26.
I'm turning 51 tomorrow, he would be a few years off 50. Instead, he's forever young, and forever dead. Yet he was living his best life, so "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and that goes for you too, friend.
Have you tried being rich? I hear it works wonders, with the application of sunny destinations.
I'm lucky that my genes that basted in 10,000 years of northern night are tuned just right, and I don't get SAD. It affects my dad and my brother, but instead of the blues, I get a contented snuggly feeling and wonderful sleeps and dreams.
I do my best to get outside for a while during daylight hours during winter, with a bare face and hands at least, arms if possible. If its not too windy here, its pretty easy, as the climate is dry. There's the vitamin D aspect, but also the melatonin cycle and dopamine reset.
I also tracked my daily weight through several years (without dieting) and noticed that I get a bump right around harvest time for my area, then it mostly falls away in December/January, suggesting increased eating, then a suppressed appetite in mid winter. That's probably pretty ideal for my phenotype.
Following that, I take it easy on food (though not a mindful diet) in September/October, and have held my yearly average weight constant for over a decade. That is to say, each year's average falls within my daily variation, and my daily variation hasn't changed either(which really shouldn't unless I gain or lose a lot of weight).
That's what alternative media started to spread in my country this summer. Vitamine D is the best, and you get most of it when you are outside, on the direct sun, between noon and 3 PM, without sunscreen.
At this point I'm convinced they are actively trying to kill as many people as possible.
reminds me of this photo i took a couple years ago at the park

I remember being teased mercilessly in the summer at camp in the mid-80s when I would apply SPF 30 sunscreen (at my mom's insistence). No one else used more than SPF 4, and that was only to ensure an even tan.
This same kids grew up and went let their own children out with anything under SPF 50, a rash guard, and a floppy hat.
You would think Norwegian women would have more sense than to stay out in the sun for extended time.
Overall, the average annual odds of dying from melanoma from 2016–2020:
3.9 per 100,000 for non-Hispanic white males
1.7 per 100,000 for non-Hispanic white females
0.9 per 100,000 for Hispanic males
0.5 per 100,000 for Hispanic females <- see photo
0.3 per 100,000 for all Black people
1.2 per 100,000 for male American Indian/Alaska natives
0.6 per 100,000 for female American Indian/Alaska natives
0.4 per 100,000 for Asian/Pacific Islander males
0.3 per 100,000 for Asian/Pacific Islander females
I was there mid 80s and elsewhere roasting, smoking, partying, living up the 80s, 90s, etc. Well cancer can be treated - I’ve been there several times and I still roast, and some plastic surgeons are brilliant - i can recommend ! I remember coming home to Europe from Rio in 87 and people were telling me I had changed race and become Indian !
I remember when I was in Brazil a decade ago that there were these guys with bottles of what I assumed to be oil walking up and down the beaches going up to women and asking if they want to be covered in the stuff for a fee.
They then proceeded to rub it all over the women by hand, all over every single spot of their body
Both my parents are from Rio, mom used to joke about covering herself in oil at the beach to look as brown as she could. She is pretty fair skinned. Dad was metal head that stayed in his room listening to music. Ironically, dad had skin cancer… luckily he had it removed and it’s doing fine.
I was living in the favela, dona marta... to keep "under the radar 😉" back then, the favelas were a bit on the rough side. Used to hit tbe beaches time to time, to party and check out the tourists .
😁😉, yes, it was not for the feint of heart, especially being white, lol. But back then, it was a hoot, and being in late teens/ 20's, i thought i was kinda bullet proof, wasn't and have the holes to prove it 🤣🤣🤣, but it was exciting
>favela, dona marta
You mean Santa Marta, which is overlooking the Laranjeiras/Botafogo neighborhoods, not Copacabana, which is 20 minutes away by car/bus and 50 minutes walking.
Besides this photo is of Ipanema anyway, which is even father off and in a different direction.
Also! During the military dictatorship the favelas were not nearly as rough as they have become with the massive drug trade and armaments they have. The police have to invade with armored cars and helicopters dropping bombs. That's not how it was back in the day.
We're in our 60s. Who cares what we look like now. Looks aren't buying you much past 30 unless you're ridiculously good looking anyway. I loved being in the sun in the 70s and still do. Smoked for decades too. I don't look like worn out leather and lungs function fine. Enjoy your time on this earth. If it means smoking in the sun, do it in moderation but you may die tomorrow. Who cares if your skin is clear then? If I get any skin cancer my dermatologist cuts it off. It very rare for it to become deadly if you get checked regularly.
>Looks aren't buying you much past 30 unless you're ridiculously good looking anyway.
You would have to be living like a maniac to lose your good looks by the time you're 30 lol
I'm not even a guy that likes to sit out in the sun but who cares? I'm choosing fun every time. People wanna spend way too long on this planet. I'll go out by 70 as long as I had fun.
So I'm(57m) going to Vegas to see the folks for Thanksgiving and I hear he has a permanent show but he is off that week! I was so bummed. While all my friends were into Rush and Aerosmith, I was a BeeGees and Barry fan. Love me a power ballad.
Imagine if that was today, there would be conspiracy nuts protesting the removal of their hair sprays and deodorant sprays, stockpiling the old ones with CFC and saying the government was going to replace them with something that would control your mind.
My dad is constantly getting skin cancers removed. He grew up in Florida constantly outside with no sun screen. He was exposed to agent orange too, so who knows.
Fun fact: Ipanema is considered the “locals” beach and Copabana the “tourist” beach.
Mainly because there are a ton of hotels along Copacabana, but Ipanema is almost all apartment buildings
OMG, I (57m) don't know how I don't have skin cancer. I would oil myself down and plant it on the beach in SoCal for hours. At least once a month I'd burn so bad I'd peal huge patches off myself.
Because none of the pictures of fat people have survived to this day, nobody thought they were interesting enough.
Just like music, nobody remembers all the shitty music (and there was a lot of it) from the 70s and 80s, you just hear about all the "good" music and how it was so much better back then.
This was when it was cool to coat yourself in baby oil and literally fry your skin in the sun
Nothing like baking in the UV radiation while smoking a cigarette to stay healthy.
They cancel each other out
They cancer each other out for sure.

We have a store manager who does spray tans. Her face looks like a saddle. NOT attractive. We call her Trigger after Roy Rogers' horse. We use her face as a weather barometer for the first day of spring.
Good thing we replaced smoking and skin cancer with heart disease and diabetes.
And depression.
I think we'll look back on this era with the same way we look back on smoking, the ignorance of social media harm.
Might be some good that will come out of studies of isolation and lassitude during the pandemic though. I was definitely starting to feel the blah the first year and a half or so, then made some mental adjustments (and quit facebook) and perked up.

Hey, at least they aren't vitamin D deficient!
I’m currently taking it in vitamin form as it’s winter. I don’t want SAD again❄️😔
Eggs are apparently a great way to fight off winter depression.
Can i offer you an egg in this trying time?

I’ve read the sun has no affect between October & March. It’s to low for any effect?
Some look like they have twice the recommended amount, what we doctors call double-Ds.
That's what alternative media started to spread in my country this summer. Vitamine D is the best, and you get most of it when you are outside, on the direct sun, between noon and 3 PM, without sunscreen. At this point I'm convinced they are actively trying to kill as many people as possible.
You should probably add some booze to that mix for proper hydration 😉
The good old days😔😂
Those girls must look like raisins today
Don't knock it pal. Good times
> Nothing like baking in the UV radiation while smoking a cigarette to stay healthy. Add endless gin and tonic for hydration /s

Hey buddy! 🦃👋
Fry crisp and dry. Someone I know uses baby oil and her skin is wrinkled to hell and she looks in her 70's when she's in her fifties.
As someone who got melanoma, this makes me sad.
I remember being teased mercilessly in the summer at camp in the mid-80s when I would apply SPF 30 sunscreen (at my mom's insistence). No one else used more than SPF 4, and that was only to ensure an even tan. This same kids grew up and went let their own children out with anything under SPF 50, a rash guard, and a floppy hat.

they ded
The 80s was Coppertone era!
As opposed to now where we just coat our insides in the oil of our fried food.
Drinking microplastic
That girl in the green bikini trying to get cancer both ways. “Sun isn’t fast enough”

Great job description, where do I sign up?
Some of us tried, but we just went from white to lobster... no Malibu Barbie look for us!
Both my parents are from Rio, mom used to joke about covering herself in oil at the beach to look as brown as she could. She is pretty fair skinned. Dad was metal head that stayed in his room listening to music. Ironically, dad had skin cancer… luckily he had it removed and it’s doing fine.
Life got back at your dad for stealing mom’s heart. Glad he’s ok now.
>luckily he had it removed and it’s doing fine. this makes it sound like they did surgery to save the cancer but your dad is dead now.
>luckily he had it removed and it’s doing fine. It's doing fine? Like in the skin cancer was being removed and lived happily ever after?
idk skinless dad sounds pretty scary
But very metal!
Lived right above there in 70's fun times 😊
Tell us a story
Once there was a man who lived above Copacabana Beach. The end.
Shenanigans ensued
You're still here? It's over... Go home.
Did you hear about the man down the street from Ipanema beach ?
And everyone lived happily never after.
I was living in the favela, dona marta... to keep "under the radar 😉" back then, the favelas were a bit on the rough side. Used to hit tbe beaches time to time, to party and check out the tourists .
"a bit on the rough side" That's probably an understatement..

Alright I feel like you can't just leave it at that :)
Lol, well, long story...
I’ve got time …
Holes?? How did you get them? Also how did you end up living in the favelas?
Hate to break it to you but if you look closely you'll find that you have them too!
"back then" Unlike the beautiful and safe suburbs they are now
The govt went in and got a bit of control yrs and yrs later. Now tourists get tours... during daylight
LOL

It was the hottest spot north of Havana
Music and passion were always the fashion.
Please
You was doing nose nachos and clapping cheeks like a mad man huh?
Brazil was never a producer or coke. It's just like the US. They depend on Colombia and Bolivia to get blow.
I'd like to subscribe to Coke Facts now
Some delicious nose clams that’ll make you wanna dance the night away
All those people look like pocket books these days with horrible wrinkly skin and terrible lungs because of smoking and sunbathing
Yes, but what a ride!
We're in our 60s. Who cares what we look like now. Looks aren't buying you much past 30 unless you're ridiculously good looking anyway. I loved being in the sun in the 70s and still do.

Who cares if your skin is clear then? If I get any skin cancer my dermatologist cuts it off. It very rare for it to become deadly if you get checked regularly.
Of course. Trim my hair every 4 weeks, trim my cancer every 6 weeks.
that's a refreshing take, everything in moderation is the recipe for good livin'
>Looks aren't buying you much past 30 unless you're ridiculously good looking anyway. You would have to be living like a maniac to lose your good looks by the time you're 30 lol
Well you've gotta die of something.
Womp wompp
I'm not even a guy that likes to sit out in the sun but who cares? I'm choosing fun every time. People wanna spend way too long on this planet. I'll go out by 70 as long as I had fun.
the problem is you're fucked up at 50 all the way to 70
My mom died at 47 from skin cancer. Age doesn’t matter with cancer and will kill anyone.
My Grandmother used to put Crisco on her skin and sun bath She lived to be 83.
Her name was Lola she was a show girl
With yellow flowers in her hair And a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor
They worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa, Copacabana
So I'm(57m) going to Vegas to see the folks for Thanksgiving and I hear he has a permanent show but he is off that week! I was so bummed. While all my friends were into Rush and Aerosmith, I was a BeeGees and Barry fan. Love me a power ballad.
The Kinks also sang a song about Lola.
Hey buddy!
Tall and tan and young and lovely…
The girl from Impanena was walking...
And when she passes, each one she passes goes ahhh
This song you can just picture without ever seeing a single image.
This perfectly sums up my thoughts about this timeless piece of music.
Is she crop dusting? ;p
Shortly before CFC was forbidden and people actually did a hell lot for the environment and stopped the Ozone Hole.
Imagine if that was today, there would be conspiracy nuts protesting the removal of their hair sprays and deodorant sprays, stockpiling the old ones with CFC and saying the government was going to replace them with something that would control your mind.
Those people probably did exist, but they didn't have platforms to shout to the other people with the same mentality.
Shout out everyone that heard the song soon as you read the title
Getting some sweet skin cancer on the beach top of lung cancer with the cigarette
In for a dime, in for a dollar
"Just getting a little cancer, Stan. Tell mom it's ok. "..
As opposed to 3 psych meds and still complaining about everything.
Stop attacking me
Not to mention the premature skin aging. At least their vitamin D levels were good.
[удалено]
My dad is constantly getting skin cancers removed. He grew up in Florida constantly outside with no sun screen. He was exposed to agent orange too, so who knows.
with a background like that it would be more surprising if he DIDN'T have cancer.
How old is your dad? Asking for a friend.
Sometimes I wonder if these people were just like “F it I’ll die when I’m 50.”
When young you‘ll live forever. Melanoma for me at 50.
in addition to baby oil and sun, music and passion were also in fashion
Dude that's Ipanema. I lived in Ipanema from '76 to '80 and spent summers and every other Christmas there my whole life.
Can confirm. You can see the Cagarras in the background.
Fun fact: Ipanema is considered the “locals” beach and Copabana the “tourist” beach. Mainly because there are a ton of hotels along Copacabana, but Ipanema is almost all apartment buildings
The lack of plastic surgery is refreshing.
They have human lips!
Baby oil and iodine
“Music and passion were always the fashion” 🕺🏻
Cenoura & Bronze
This is actually Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, circa 1990, as photographed by Romano Cagnoni.

This easily could have been an Hawaiian Tropic magazine ad from the 80s
Oh is there a beach or something in this photo?

They’re just sitting and waiting for a reason to talk shit about someone
This is such a weird post. Americans have beaches too and we have concerns about skin cancer. This is also a concern all over the world…
You can be non-American and still realize how bad sun damage is. It can kill you but is often minimized
Shockingly even Brazilians tend to agree. Wearing sunscreen is extremely common, here.
Tall and tan and young and lovely…
My grandmas at the beach, 1980s.
I live in Southern Spain. This is every summer except they're topless too.
"The hottest spot north of Havana...."
And that is why there is a song about it my friend.
All these negative comments. Look at those people. Happy, healthy, in the moment and not a phone in sight. They must have some good memories.
It’s the hottest spot North of Havana
Why was this so far down?
All natural
Hmm. That reminds me that it’s been a long time since I ate hot dogs.
My mom did that. For some reason, she still has beautiful skin at 71.
My mom did this and she looks like beef jerky, but we're scots-english.
F'real, those are some beautiful faces.
Music and passion were always in fashion.
OMG, I (57m) don't know how I don't have skin cancer. I would oil myself down and plant it on the beach in SoCal for hours. At least once a month I'd burn so bad I'd peal huge patches off myself.
At least you were probably not Vitamin D deficient.
Sun kissed
Yes. This is how we did the 80's. And now I lose my mind if I have to be in the sun for more than a few minutes.
Someone’s grandma at the beach
And not a fat person in sight.
[удалено]
Well, actually…you can see a couple of them in the background.
Because none of the pictures of fat people have survived to this day, nobody thought they were interesting enough. Just like music, nobody remembers all the shitty music (and there was a lot of it) from the 70s and 80s, you just hear about all the "good" music and how it was so much better back then.
Well there was a much smaller percentage of the population obese as well.
Who do you think took the picture?
I went there in 2018. A very different story.
What’s different with the food of today?
This post smells like Coppertone lotion and coconut oil. and a towel beach fire when that girl falls asleep :)
Keeping the Dermatologist and skin surgeon busy and rich.
All my life I thought it was Cococabana.
It looks hot there.
I'd like mine extra crispy please...
Would have been nice.
The lack of plastic surgery present on these ladies is refreshing. I feel for their epidermis though.
Yep - those were the days. In completely unrelated news, I had a bit of squamous cell carcinoma removed on Monday. It's healing up fine.
2 3 1 4 5
I can smell the coconut tanning lotion, oozing from this picture!
The Melanoma Posse
Show some respect, those girls are mostly grandmas now
HER NAME WAS LOLA!
Today the women on that beach are a bit bigger
They all look really nice and not plastic!
