artificial tanning quandary

I seem to have developed an immunity to artificial tanning lotion.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening before?

Maybe it's just that the tanning solution is in lotion form, and my skin simply can't absorb any more moisture. I think I may have fully saturated my entire epidermis. I am very moist. I have mentioned before that, when I was growing up, my mother was an Avon lady; lotion was always free and plentiful in our house. It occurred to me only as an adult that people might have to pay for lotion.

Here is my normal skin tone (from the post in which I addressed allegations that I look like Pee Wee Herman in drag):


And here I am looking all golden and healthy, except that I accomplished this with synthetic lotion-chemicals:


Granted, there are some tricks of lighting happening here, but still.

As long as I don't develop an immunity to blonde hair dye, Botox, and breast implants! That would foil all my best-laid plans.
