Its a sort of a culture clash I suppose. Being tanned or blond in this country is a no-no. Different there I guess.

I think that a long long time ago it was looked down upon for people to be tanned as it implied that you had been doing manual labor out in the fields and the upper class people did not do manual labor so they were not tanned.

Now, people spend a lot of time and money to be tan and blond.
