Britney had never been overly attractive, at least she never thought of herself like that. She was not ugly by any means, but she lacked certain traits of femininity. She reached the height of 181 centimetres at an early age and was taller than most of the boys. She was also skinny, had narrow boyish hips and a flat chest. The tomboy image was further enhanced by her short hair; she kept them like that because they were thin, unremarkable and had a greyish-brown colour more appropriate for a mouse. Britney's face was pretty, but also quite plain. Thin lips created an impression of her being unapproachable, which was the exact opposite of her personality. She was friendly and easy going, but also intelligent and responsible. The glasses which Britney had to start wearing at a relatively young age did not help either. They might not have been unattractive per se, but with several appearance issues already present they were just another brick in the "I'm not pretty" wall.
Despite her not overly generous self appraisal Britney had all of the physical traits to become a model. Most of the fashion designers were homosexuals, so they preferred the women not to be feminine. But that job did not appeal to her, she wanted to be a... teacher. She also liked sports, so ultimately she became a physical education teacher. Lots of sports and a healthy lifestyle gave Britney a toned athletic physique. She was still slender, but no longer skinny. Her buttocks were firm and perky, they looked sexy despite the narrow hips. Britney's legs were her main asset, long, shapely and strong, they attracted many male gazes. She might not have turned into a sex bomb, but at least no longer considered herself unattractive.
Britney liked her job and was happy to know that the students considered her the favourite teacher; although she was aware that the yoga pants she wore might have had something to do with that, at least when boys' opinion was concerned. To earn extra money Britney also worked as a personal trainer.
Throughout three decades of her adult life many things have changed, but some remained unaltered. Next year Britney would be turning fifty. She still had the same two jobs, her appearance did not change all that much apart from the fact that she had aged. Sport kept her healthy and somewhat youthful, but she had not grown any prettier. Over the course of all those years Britney married, had three kids, who had by now grown up and moved out. She also divorced recently which was the saddest part. Britney was a cheerful optimistic person, but realised she needed a drastic change. But how could a stable conservative ageing woman make a serious truly impactful change in her life? External assistance was necessary. Britney found the weirdest kind of assistance and for the first time in her life was about to do something crazy. Because she was intelligent and methodical she planned to thoroughly prepare first.
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm Frank Trustworthy, welcome to Who Wanna Be a Bimbo. Today with me is Britney. Hello, Britney."
"Hello, Frank. Nice to meet you."
Before the show Britney could not decide what to wear. Ultimately she settled on an outfit in which she felt the most confident and comfortable - gym wear. She entered the stage dressed in yoga pants, a tank top and sport shoes. All of her clothes were white, but a thick red diagonal stripe ran across each item to break the uniformity of the colour.
"Do you wanna be a bimbo?" the host asked.
"I'm tempted to say 'yes', although I fear some might misinterpret that."
"We're happy to hear a 'yes', even if it's open to interpretation. Do you have any preferred transformations?"
"Yes, quite a few actually. The best of them seems the one which the gentleman recently had. I believe it was called age regression. My body could use that..."
"You don't look that old, Britney," Frank interjected.
"Thank you, Frank, but I'm older than I look and I can feel that in my bones. I'd also like the kind of treatment the young woman had received some time ago. I'm curious to experience what it means to have full feminine curves. Not to mention my lousy hair."
"It's all within reach. So you're not here for the money?"
"I am! I won't say 'no' to a generous prize."
"Got any specific plans on how you'll spend it?"
"I had barely ever travelled in my life. I was thinking about changing that and finally seeing all the wonders the world offers."
"That's within your reach as well," Frank replied with a grin, "are you ready to start?"
"Yes, I am!"
"Draw twelve categories,"
"Symbols and pictograms, Postapo, Roman Numerals, Swords, British Cities, Sweden, Milestones of 20th Century, Asian Countries, Bones, Measures, Art (15th - 18th century), Lord Of The Rings, Rise of Machines."
"Do you like them?"
"They are rather uneven. I feel confident about some, but a few seem uncertain. Overall it should be a decent challenge."
"I'm glad to hear that you like them and even happier to have a talkative contestant."
"I'm a teacher after all, communication is key in my work."
"You look like a physical education teacher. Am I correct?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I do. I teach physical education at a college."
"I bet your students would love to have a sexy bimbo teacher."
"They might, indeed. Especially considering that almost all of them are young men. I fear they're all watching me right now."
"There's nothing to fear. You should embrace the additional audience, I'm certain they're all cheering for you."
"I guess they'd appreciate the transformations that I had mentioned earlier."
"See! That's the spirits. Which category to start with?"
"The easiest one in your quiz - Roman Numerals."
16. XVI. Correct. 96. XCVI. Correct. 88. LXXXVIII. Correct. 444. CDXLIV. Correct. 1789. MDCCLXXXIX. Correct.
"A flawless round, Britney! Congratulations!" Frank announced.
"If someone makes a mistake in this category it means they did not prepare in the slightest."
"You sound like a harsh teacher," the host commented with a wink.
"I'm demanding, but not harsh. I have some tolerance for laziness, but I don't tolerate people who don't prepare at all," the contestant replied with a patient smile.
"Sounds fair. Ready for Round Two?"
"Yes. Milestones of the 20th Century, I always liked history."
In which year the Spanish flu pandemic began? 1918. Correct. In which year the Watergate Scandal began? 1973. Correct. In which year RMS Titanic sank? 1912. Correct. In which year Japan invaded Manchuria, then occupied it until the end of World War II? It was a few years before the war, but I'm not sure exactly. 1933 maybe? WRONG. In which year Perestroika began? 1988. Correct.
"One mistake this time, Britney," Frank announced, "draw one transformation card."
"Jewellery."
"Do you like it?"
"Not really. I almost never wear any jewellery at all. It's not my style, although I'm not an opponent in general. But the jewellery in your show looks trashy and often outright ugly. I want to change it."
"That's your choice. You might be the first contestant to do so. Most consider this transformation to be harmless and keep it, fearing to draw worse ones."
"The greater the risk, the larger the reward," Britney replied with a smile.
"That's true. We at Who Wanna Be a Bimbo know it the best. Draw two new transformation cards."
"Height Reduction and Slutification of Clothes."
"Are these two better?"
"Yes, as long as the slutification won't make my clothes outright, pardon my expression, whorish."
"No, it won't. We have the Double Slutification transformation to achieve that."
"Oh, good! And I like the height reduction. I had always considered myself too tall."
"That's a different approach to other contestants as well. At best they tolerate this transformation," Frank commented.
"The world would be awfully boring, if we were all the same, wouldn't it?" Britney replied with a wink.
"It would, indeed. Please, enter The Chamber," the host tried to match his guest's courtesy and eloquence.
Britney went into the device, closed her eyes as she had been instructed before the show and waited patiently. The feeling was... odd. Not painful or unpleasant, but also difficult to ignore. Having your body change its size almost in a blink of an eye was incredible and the contestant was really curious to see how she would look with 'normal' height. She forgot that her outfit was being altered as well and remembered about it only when the door opened, and she saw herself on the large screen.
The contestant was surprised to see that the height reduction did not change the perception of her body as significantly as she had anticipated. She was still tall, slender and athletic; she looked quite good. But... has she been so good-looking the whole time? The new outfit had a much greater impact. The T-shirt changed into a sports-bra, a padded one which created an illusion of breasts on her otherwise flat chest. The yoga pants got tighter and slightly see-through, the panties underneath turned into a thong. Britney had seen women who dressed like that at the gym regularly, so it was not overly slutty, but seeing herself in such an outfit was a minor shock. The muscles on her thighs and buttocks became more prominent, which was not all bad. The contestant was stunned to see her camel-toe though, and suddenly she became very aware of the (rather large) size of her vaginal lips.
"Welcome back, Britney," said Frank, "do you like the changes?"
