Skin

In olden times, ladies covered up when the sun was out--broad-brimmed hats, high necks, long sleeves, even gloves. All of which were discarded in the golden days of tanning, skin cancer, and premature aging.

What goes around comes around. Fio now pulls on gloves when she drives, especially on the left hand, which has already developed two and a half brown spots. And she wears longer sleeves and buttons her blouses to the top.

Oh, for a poke bonnet.

  1. Well hello! Unless Fio drives a convertible
    Which really would be apropos
    No worries about sun burn, skin cancer, or aging
    UV won't penetrate glass windows

    No need for gloves and long sleeves
    Forget the poke bonnet and such
    So, watch out for road islands while driving
    Unbutton and let some skin show
