I was a pretty tan kid until around age 12 when I abandoned the outside world for the Internet. When I started modeling at age 14 the extreme paleness i developed as a result of social isolation became part of my commodified aesthetic and I was told to maintain it which I became obsessive about. In August of 2017 I went to Jamaica and wore linen pants, a long sleeve mock neck SPF shirt and a hat nearly the entire time. Over the last few years as I’ve gotten older and recognized the value of actually enjoying my life, I’ve been spending way more time in the sun. I think sun exposure in moderation is good for you.
