Pale girls don’t get enough love.

A wise frog once said, “It’s not easy being green.”

The point is well made.  It’s also not easy to be pale.  Makeup companies have names for pale skin - alabaster, ivory, and porcelain.  Sometimes there are less flattering adjectives too - pasty, chalky, washed-out, or sickly.  We might be called ghostly, vampiric, or gothic, but maybe we were just born this way.  Maybe we don’t want to paint ourselves orange or roast ourselves in tanning beds like a rotisserie chicken.

So maybe it’s time to say it: “FUCK YEAH, PALE GIRLS.”
