News & Rants From The Devil

By Stan The Devil

Scientist are investigating and doing research on a pill that will be able to change your skin color and eye color. Many women and men bake for hours to get that perfect tan or use a fake a tan. Soon people will be able to alter their skin tone and maybe even eye color as often as dying your hair. This process will also protect you skin from cancer and sun damage.

After many years of research scientists have been able to understand how and why our skin tans. And now that they understand how it works they think we should not only be able to darken skin but also to lighten skin. This idea has also been taken by many cosmetic companies.

So if you are a redhead that wants to have a skin a little darker or if you are black and would like to have light skin, blond hair and blue eyes, all you have to do is take a tablet and apply cream for a couple of weeks.

This discovery came up while doing some research for cancer. One of the best defenses against skin cancer is a natural tan built up over several weeks. Although scientists have sought about to unravel the mechanisms that make this possible, the process it much more complicated than what they had thought.

Skin, hair and eye color are mostly influenced by a dark pigment called melanin. Before this discovery they thought that tanning was a response to the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight that damaged the DNA. They thought that activated the melanin producing center in the cells making skin darker.

Some fake spray-on tans act on this theory by using a synthetic version to boost melanin production. This only works only on people who have no problem with melanin production. Researches at Harvard Medical Scholl have shown that damage to DNA is not necessary step in getting a tan.

They made a compound called forskolin, which comes from an Asian plant and might activate the same tan-producing mechanism as the sun. A lotion was made out the plant and applied to mice. Several weeks later, the mice were really tanned. The results were beyond of what they had expected.

Many black women have tried to lighten their skin, however, all those lighting creams have been dangerous, with side effects including: neurological and kidney damage, speech and hearing impairments, and also psychiatric disorder. For the many of those that want to lighten their skin, the new findings could be a welcome breakthrough.

Kwame Kweh- Armah does not agree with the making of this pill, he mentioned how everybody laughed and made fun of Michael Jackson for lightening his skin, and now there are many people that want to do it. He also said “It’s our equivalent of the size-zero debate. It’s 2007, the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade. We should be finding ways to move away from the pecking order of skin color, rather than create a magic pill that keeps it firmly in place.”

Many cosmetic firms including Avon are very excited and have already filled a patent for a skin lightening process that takes advantage of this latest knowledge. So we can safely say that the mechanisms that decide eye color could also be manipulated chemically or genetically.

My thoughts

The truth here is that it’s all about how you look. Life is so much easier for hot people. Tell me about it! There is nobody hotter than the devil. And of course a good tan always helps us look better. You thinking I got the great tan I have from one they to the other? No I have been tanning for a very long time, I do look a little burned but the more burned the hotter I get; at least my skin does not look orange like many celebrities that use the spray on tan. I tan with fire and it works fine. I don’t think I want to change the color of my skin or eyes but if I ever wanted to I would probably give those pills a try. If they worked on mice they should work on me…
