It was a quick wedding, and I got asked at the last minute, ostensibly because the groom had more groomsmen. My cuz and her thin-as-a-rail friends had all made trips to the tanning bed. And there I am in black satin, looking like Morticia Addams. But I refused to bow to the bed of tan. I’ll keep my health and be semi-translucent, thank you very much. </p> Shaun – Yep, the turn-and-duck is essential in the male repetoire.
