Joe Avarege was not the most handsome of men, he was rather... average. At 181 centimetres he was moderately tall, his face was relatively plain, but he kept it clean shaven and overall well groomed to be attractive to women. Joe was of average build and relatively slim, but had a little belly which are so common among modern men. His head was bald but decently shaped; he made up for the lack of hair on his scalp by having a hairy body. He was not some metrosexual who would keep his chest shaven, but having a natural sweater on your skin could be irritating.
Despite any drawbacks of his appearance Joe was a womanizer and a successful one. He was a salesman by trade or as the professional term names it - a marketing representative; he was as good at selling products to customers, as he was at selling himself to the women. Joe's voice was an asset as well, low and sensual, it was often more important for picking up girls than the pickup lines themselves. His bed was empty only when he wanted it that way; he knew what to do with a woman there too, he had the skill, the size and knew how a proper foreplay should look like. Although Joe's size could be misleading, because he was a grower not a shower; when flaccid his penis looked average at best.
Joe's job offered him a relatively decent income, but he was a big spender, so more money was always welcome; he was also quite smart, could learn fast and had a broad general knowledge. So he though, why not try a high paying quiz?
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Who Wanna Be a Bimbo! My name is Frank Trustworthy and tonight here with us is Joe. Hello, Joe."
"Hello, Frank."
"Do you wanna be a bimbo, Joe?"
"Not really, although there are some transformations that I wouldn't mind."
"So there is a little bimbo hidden inside of you, after all. Which ones?"
"Stuff like waist narrowing or hair extension. These aren't just for bimbos and as you can see I could benefit from them."
"Who knows, you might just get lucky. But first, draw the categories. There are seven rounds ahead of you, so you'll have twelve categories to choose from. Go ahead."
"Recognise Country, Bones, Art, German and Austrian Federal States, Russian History, Dogs, Czech Republic, Periodic Table, EU, Cold War, Phobias, Cities and Landmarks.
"How do you like them?"
"Not bad, I think I should manage."
"Which category for the first round?"
"Let's start with Recognise the Country."
Joe got shown a contour of a country and had to name it, the task was relatively easy, especially with four names to pick from. Egypt, Italy, Iceland - first three were easy, but the fourth one was some kind of island, or rather an archipelago that Joe had not seen before and could not recognize; his guessed Philippines was WRONG. The fifth one was tricky, but through a method of elimination Joe was left with Thailand and it was Correct.
"One incorrect answer means one transformation. Draw a card, Joe."
"Double face feminization."
"Do you like your transformation?"
"Not really, I'd prefer to keep my face the way it is. But I know that there are far worse transformations and I don't want to risk picking two of those."
"Seems reasonable. Into the chamber you go."
Joe had seen the show numerous times and more or less knew what to expect of his transformation, he was still moderately anxious about it though; he got into The Chamber and closed his eyes. Mere moments later the door opened and the man got out, the cameras were instantly focused on his face, so he could observe himself on the large screen. All he saw was a beautiful feminine face, Mr Avarege could still be spotted beneath the soft youthful features, but one had to look really closely. The cute girl on the screen looked surprisingly good with a bald head. The change was significant, but Joe was not overly upset, he was aware that looks were never his important feature and he should be able to easily adapt.
"How do you like your new face, Joe?"
"It's pretty. Maybe even too pretty for a bald overweight man" answered the man with a smile.
"You're not that fat, Joe" replied Frank "But since you think you're too pretty for a man, maybe now you'd like to become a bimbo?"
"Let's not take it too far."
"Let's take it to the second round then. Pick a category."
"European Union."
Which Nordic country is NOT a member of the EU? Norway. Correct. Which institution of the EU consists of heads of state or government of member countries? Ehh... European Commission? WRONG. The motto of the EU is? United in diversity. Correct. How many members does the European Commission have? 27. Correct. Which countries joined the European Communities in 1986? Hmm... Denmark and Austria? WRONG.
"Two mistakes this time, Joe. Draw two transformation cards."
"Bisexuality and Lips Enlargement."
"Do you like them?"
"No. I don't mind the lips, I guess my new face might even look better with them. But I don't want to be turned into a cocksucker. Oh, sorry for my language."
"But that would double your dating pool."
"My dating pool is large enough already. I want to discard it."
"Draw two new ones then."
"Body Hair Removal, Sexy Voice."
"Better?"
"The hair removal might be practical, but a sexy voice might be kinda silly. It should match my new face, but I'd still be a guy that talks like a chick."
"Be patient, Joe. There are still five rounds ahead of us, you might not remain a man until the end.
"Thanks, I guess."
