ARMPITS

Watching the advertising on Thai T.V. is a bit discouraging.

There seems to be an obsession to turn everyone white.

Cosmetic companies are touting every kind of cream, lotion & potion to turn the skin

of Thai women and men into pale imitations of western people.

This sickness even extends to the armpits where every deodorant not only

makes one smell sweeter but makes one whiter as well.

There are countless commercials showing woman dancing 

 or holding a bar on a bus, their arms high in the air,

 armpits, pure white of course, 

exposed to the gaze of handsome male admirers. 

WEIRD

Here is a collection of random photos I've captured recently. 

Sorry, no armpits.
