young people embarrass to easily - once you hit about 40, you just don't give a hoot anymore. at least i don't....

Yep, I do agree. No need in hinding the truth, someone will find out and tell. Also, easier to laugh at yourself at this age.

did anyone here tan with baby oil and iodine ?

This forty something says amen to all above.

I had to drive to Ohio for a funeral back in February of 2001. When I got to Tennessee I thought, Gee, I can't show up this white, I live in Florida.
So I stopped at a Tanning Salon.
I didn't know nothing about tanning booths. But I do now. Still have the scars.
The sign read, "For a base tan, 30 minutes."
I thought it meant if you wanted a base tan. I burnt my scottish/irish red haired asp to a crisp. Actually my whole body- blistered.
I then continued to drive to Cleveland. Tried to. Seemed like the longest part of my drive was from Columbus. My skin had tightened up so much I couldn't move. I was sick to my stomach. It was horrible.
When I got there, a nurse friend of mine gave me silverdine (sp?) lotion. I should have gone to the hospital like she insisted.
I went to the funeral in very loose sweats. Someone else had to drive. I spent the next two weeks sitting upright in a chair, sleeping in that chair, could not lay down, had to take two oatmeal baths a day. I was finally able enough to drive back to Florida, but it took me three days. I didn't go back to work right away and was burnt for nearly 6 weeks.
I haven't really been in the sun since.

When I think back - I can still remember the smell. It really did give the best tan.

Jeesh, that is horrible! I'm surprised the attendant let you go 30 minutes seeing that you were so fair!!!

LOL girlfriend - you lured me out of lurkerdom with that comment - I am also allergic to iodine. What are the chances? And we used to tan with baby oil too - out on the roof at my parents house. We just fried out there. Now you know, of course, that I use sunscreen religiously, but not back then.
