Sun, Sea, and Skin


Paul: So being fair-skinned, do you burn easily in the sun?
Aimee: I do! I get really, really freckly, just turn into one big freckle. I have to be careful not to get burned, yeah. I’m careful with my sun lotion. How about you?
Paul: Yeah, I’m not a sunbather. I can’t think of anything more boring to be quite honest with you. I may not get it lying on the beach – you’ve got the sand, you’ve got the surf. I do get it, but I just get too bored. I’d rather be more active, doing some sort of swimming, some sort of activity….
Aimee: I really enjoy swimming in the ocean. If I go to the beach, I don’t sunbathe at all. I sit in the shade until I just want to swim in the ocean: go snorkeling, see something. That’s a lot more fun.
Paul: Mmmm, yeah, see something, explore a bit. Yeah, yeah. I mean the sea creatures are actually fascinating really. You put that snorkel on, it's as if you’ve gone into a new world.
Aimee: I couldn’t do that in Scandinavia, I don’t think.
Paul: Speaking of Scandinavia, I did a home stay when I was a high school student.
Aimee: Oh, did you?
Paul: Yeah, and it was with a Danish family. And the mother was very kind of typically Scandinavian. Uhm, like stereotypically very strong, blond hair, and every day of the year without fail, she would swim in the sea.
Aimee: Oh my goodness.
Paul: You know there’d big blocks of ice in the sea, and she’d still be swimming.
Aimee: A sturdy lass.
Paul: Yeah, she swore by it. I think she really believed that it was good for the circulation and her health. Yes, but admiration, but I won’t want to follow her.
Aimee: I don’t think I could - only certain times a year.
Paul: Yeah.

Curtis : Hi Spencer, I thought we might talk about fashion a little bit. Could you describe to me your style or your fashion sense? Spencer : Well my  fashion sense  has definitely changed over the last decade. I was kind of recently out of uni and my  uni  years it was always every night I wanted to look superb. I even dressed up for class, it was, you know, that whatchamacallit a big university, but it was also a very old kind of university where everybody dressed up all the time, very southern, very, you know, let's look good for every kind of occasion. And since graduating from there, I have, you know, entered the real world and I only dress up for work or if I'm going out, which I love dressing up for an occasion. But day-to-day I also love just  throwing on  a t
