You know who else is Orange?

Roger Stone.

I noticed it the day of his arrest. What is it with these wealthy men trying to look tan all of the time? Does it add to their status?

1. John Boehner was kind of orange-ish, too.

Keith Olbermann used to call him "John of Orange."

4. Status, wealth, leisure to go where the sun is, youth, vigor...

Funny how things change over time. For most of human history, most people labored in the fields, and if they didn't have much melanin to start with, they tanned heavily (or simply became permanently red) and aged quickly, with many wrinkles at an early age.

Therefore, a pale skin (or very white, with cosmetics) was the sign of status, wealth, leisure to stay indoors, and a prolonged youthful appearance.

Nowadays most people work indoors, and a pasty complexion is the sign of someone too poor and overworked to vacation where the sun is.

9. +1

In the Northeast people would take a vacation to FL in February, to come back looking tanned. What status that conferred!

5. Why don't they just eat a shit load of carrots?

Then they don't have wear that tacky spray-on shit and no tattle-tale color lines where the spray stops and the pallor begins, they'll just be orange all over. Some folks do it for a Hallowe'en costume.

6. Self-hating.
