Tanned blogging!!!

I know the name of the blog sounds pretty in and summerish...but its definately not about the how to get tanned or has any tips about how to protect oneself from tanning.... Its about color..the complexion,the perception of the people who look at you...who want to look fairer and for what god knows is "whiter/whitier". Offlate I have seen a rise in the so-called skin whitening cosmetics.Now my question is why do we have to use them for what...To look beautiful or better?? why?? how is beauty related to fairness.When one does not know how to carry himself/herself, how on earth does the color he carries on his/her body matter or make a difference??.Or does looking fairer boast someones morale.This question did arise in my mind when a saw an commercial that was being aired on private channel.The wheatish/darker complexioned girl gets a job as soon as she turns fairer/whitier or whatever when she uses one of those Fair/ever/one/ and lovely creams....
Make sense?? does it.This Ad did convey a message that looking fairer gets you a job,gets you married too(A SWE working for MNC looking for fair,slim,beautiful,homely girl...are the adjectives enough??) hehehe...then how come many people who haven't used or did not want to use them got everything they want in life :). This is not a anti-fairness ads blog peace!!, but i did want to question myself is that how would ads like these impact the thought process of a woman who is all set to be herself and out in this world aspiring to be that someone.
Ohh lets not make this blog a gender biased or a mahila mandal blog for there is Fair and Handsome too :P.In my previous blog i mentioned about getting some inspiration to blog on a sunday and looks like i got it!!!.

P.S I might change the name of the blog if i find a better one and might edit it too!!!
