Hace muchos años, ninguna dama respetable que quisiera resguardar su delicado cutis salía sin su sombrilla. Hoy en día, el bronceado está de moda.

Many years ago, no respectable lady wishing to preserve her delicate complexion would go out without her parasol. Nowadays, suntanned skin is vogue.

When I was little, I went crazy for a doll called Baby Tender Love, whose skin, according to the commercials, was as soft as a real baby. What a disappointment when I finally received one!
