I'm doing some experimental Holga and plastic camera photography, and this sounds like it could be a good partner for it.

Cross processing is the "creative" practice of developing one film type in chemistry designed for another. Most common is the processing of E6 slide film in C-41 negative chemicals, with resulting negatives (not slides) exhibiting extra-high contrast, increased grain and unnatural looking colours. Some fashion shooters like the effect - - it is certainly surreal - but I'd suggest experimenting first with rolls of images that aren't that important to you. A Montreal lab once mistakenly cross-processed some film I shot overseas. The photos (ethnographic documentary) were useless for my purposes. Cost them a bundle to make me happy.
