Proud owner of a parasol

So I now own a PARASOL! Saying that makes me feel like I belong to a different era or something. But why should parasols be out of fashion? They totally make sense and they are totally cute! I think the reason we no longer use them in the West is because everybody wants to be tan and doesn't care about protecting their skin, so what's the point? Why carry around an accessory that hinders your goal of letting the sun reach your skin? Well here in Okinawa they are extremely sun sensitive. Not just because they think lighter skin is pretty, but because they don't want the damage UV light inevitable causes your skin. So since I have light skin and have to take extra care to protect it from the sun, I thought why not have a cute accessory for that purpose? So I have embraced the parasol.

    Since you're taller than most of the people there, your parasol will stand out more :) Now that I think about it, I'm surprised it took you so long to get one. I guess it could be a drag having to always be holding something, but I can definitely see you with one and using it with flare. :) Do they have multiple parasols? - like one for different occasions and outfits?
