I thought you were twitting me with the mention of suntan lotion because of
my misconception about tanning making something tan but you really meant it!
What a great idea, like neococsine (sp?) to bring out soft highlights on
large format negatives. Too bad it didn't work but maybe, along the lines of
iodine mixed with baby oil where the orange blocks UV, you could apply a bit
of greasy rouge or powdery blush.
