Writer's Block: Trading Spaces
Aug. 22nd, 2007 05:06 pmIf you could be another person for a day, who would it be and why?
I'd love to be Mystique. Not so much because she's a badass that kicks butt and wants to rule the world, but because of her power to assume any human shape she touches. When I was 22 years old, my hairdresser invited me to his 30th birthday party. I arrived at a house chokefull of gay men, and I wondered what kind of commotion I would have caused if I had transformed myself into Cher, ala the Oscars.
It's actually a fun game to play when you are bored. Imagine yourself turning into Michael Jackson and walking into the number 6 bus in London; or saunter into notorious gay club Heaven after transforming yourself into David Beckham. The possibilities are endless, as well as the fun factor.
The only downside is that Mystique needs to touch the target person she wishes to simulate. This could prove a problem with high caliber celebrities who live in L.A. fortresses (exactly the kind of people who would be fun to play). If I were to be Mystique for a day, I sure hope I wasn't relegated to shapeshifting into Z-list British celebrities.
