But was the sunburn worth it? One of the worse sunburns I ever got, I got because I had a chance to spend the afternoon sailing a little catamaran with my friend’s drop-dead gorgeous sister and her skimpy swimming suit.Report
A swimsuit would not have prevented that sunburn, I thought, having grown up in the 70’s.
Oh. That’s why skinny dipping was an option for so long.Report
I always thought those old-timey full-body bathing suits were for modesty’s sake, but maybe they were used to prevent sunburn before effective sunscreen was available?Report
That doesn’t explain the portion of my life when skimpy swim attire was a thing and there was no sunscreen, only suntan lotions that didn’t block UV at all. Or the only sunscreen available was opaque zinc oxide creams, famously used on lifeguards’ noses.Report
