A spoiled brat. This might have been the most accurate description of Taylor. At the age of twenty six he certainly was no longer a kid, but his lack of responsibility, discipline and a general immature behaviour put him in that category. Taylor was the youngest child of an extremely wealthy man. He never knew his mother and had experienced no real upbringing. He was raised by wealth and a throng of compliant servants; he had never heard 'no' in his entire life. Unsurprisingly such life had made him selfish and arrogant.
Taylor was not bad looking, even if a bit effeminate. His father's luxurious mansion included a gym and a pool, so the young man remained in decent shape. He never developed a muscular physique though, his body remained slender and ironically only his ass grew thick. Taylor had a pretty, although androgynous face and medium length blonde hair. Both features only increased his overall effeminate image, but that did not bother the young man. He was fully confident in his heterosexuality and no-one dared to make fun of him, because of his father's wealth. Taylor had the best proof of his masculinity between his legs; his penis and his testicles were as large as his libido was high. He had a new girl every month, sometimes even two at the same time.
Taylor's la dolce vita ended when his father remarried. His stepmother was much younger than his father, only a few years older than the youngest son, but surprisingly was not a stereotypical trophy wife. Abigail, because that was her name, was intelligent, decisive and could persuade her husband to do anything she wanted. One of those things was giving her complete control of the house's budget. Suddenly the unemployed Taylor became financially dependent on his stepmother and she was not keen on supporting a lazy parasite playboy. The young man had never worked in his life and possessed no employment-worthy skills. Abigail was aware that Taylor would not be able to find a job, but she was not cruel, so she came up with a proposal. Her stepson would participate in the Who Wanna Be a Bimbo show and win as much money as he could. Abigail would then double his prize, but from that point onward he would have to pay rent, if he wanted to remain in the mansion. Taylor could not come up with a better idea to earn a lot of money quickly, so he reluctantly agreed to the proposal.
The young man knew the show well. He watched it regularly and loved to see the participants being transformed into sexy bimbos. He tried to prepare for the quiz, but unfortunately for him, he had never been forced to actually study or to even methodically perform any tedious tasks. Thus Taylor was simply unable to properly learn trivia for the show. He might have been relatively intelligent, but had never actually learnt how to use that intelligence in practice.
Taylor did know how to look good though and could be quite charming when he chose to. For the show he put on a casually elegant outfit, consisting of navy blue trousers and a white shirt; both were tailored specifically for him. He combed his hair diligently; he knew that women loved his hair, some even envied him for its thickness and natural colour, and he wanted to make the best appearance possible. Taylor entered the stage with a confident step and a charming smile on his face.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Frank Trustworthy. Welcome to Who Wanna Be a Bimbo! Today with me is Taylor. Do you wanna be a bimbo, Taylor?"
"Hello, Frank," the contestant replied in a friendly voice and a charming smile, "It's a tempting offer, but I've been told that I'm pretty enough already. But there's never enough money, so the choice is obvious."
"Are there no transformations you find attractive?" the host inquired.
"Hmm," Taylor pondered theatrically, "I've always been curious how it would feel to have actually long hair, but I could never find the patience to grow and groom it. Body hair removal sounds quite convenient... Oh! And there's muscle INcrease transformation, isn't there?"
"There is one, indeed."
"Then it's number one on my list. I work out regularly, but somehow my muscles just don't want to grow."
"The more mistakes you make the greater your chance for these transformations," Frank said with a wink.
"Ha!" the contestant laughed, "you're technically correct, but winning money is still my priority."
Taylor was being friendly and charming mostly for practical purposes. He was aware that the quiz was easier, at least mentally, if you had the audience on your side. He could be manipulative when the circumstances required it, but he also genuinely liked the show; although he preferred to watch it from the safety of his living room chair. Seeing how the dumb bimbos get publicly humiliated was highly entertaining, risking becoming one - not so much. Right now he tried to make the best of the situation.
"Ready to begin?" Frank asked.
"Sure," Taylor replied with fake confidence.
"Draw the categories then."
"Alcohol, European Cities, World Capitals, Sort, Recognise Weapons and Military Vehicles,Milestones of 20th Century, Dogs, Eurovision, Geometry, Bard of Avon, Solar System, European Countries."
"Do you like them?"
"Yeah, they should be easy," the contestant lied. He was painfully aware of his own inadequate preparation, "all, apart from the Geometry," he joked to bolster up his own confidence.
"That's a common opinion," the host replied, smiling, "which category for the first round?"
"World Capitals."
This was one of the few categories in which Taylor managed to actually learn something. He knew, or at least he thought he knew, the capital cities of many of the larger or better known countries. He hoped that there would not be any minor, more obscure states among the questions.
What is the capital city of Brazil? Initially the contestant wanted to answer Rio de Janeiro, but then he realised that it was not among the possible answers. But Brasilia was and that was his choice. Correct. What is the capital city of Ghana? Ehm... Baku? WRONG. What is the capital city of Chile? There were two answers that sounded Spanish, but one of them was Buenos Aires and Taylor knew that it was the capital of Argentina. So he chose Santiago instead and it was Correct. What is the capital city of New Zealand? Taylor had read about it, but forgot the answer. Fortunately for him there was only one name that sounded English. Wellington. Correct. What is the capital city of Sudan? Maybe Banjul? WRONG.
"Two mistakes, Taylor," the host exclaimed, "a decent start, if you want to become a bimbo. Draw two transformation cards."
"Corset and Sex Change."
"Sounds like a perfect start!" Frank commented, as the audience clapped enthusiastically.
"No, thank you," Taylor replied drily, clearly not sharing their enthusiasm, "I don't mind the corset, but I want to remain a man. I want to discard the Sex Change," he stated firmly.
"Draw two new cards then."
"Waist Narrowing and Body Hair Removal."
"There you go! You have one of the desired transformations already. And imagine how slim your waist is going to be with the narrowing AND the corset."
"I believe I am slender enough, but I guess I have no reasons to complain," the contestant replied, in a somewhat resigned tone.
"Exactly. Into The Chamber you go."
Taylor was seriously stressed out when he initially drew the Sex Change, even though he could discard that transformation. Apparently his self control was not as effective as he liked to believe. Ultimately the three transformations were not bad, even if the corset sounded a bit odd. If the future transformations were equally harmless, Taylor hoped he could avoid the worst kinds of humiliation the show had to offer. He calmly entered the device and closed his eyes. His entire skin began to tingle lightly. The sensation was quickly followed by the feeling of his waist getting slimmer, almost immediately followed by external pressure. For a moment Taylor almost panicked, because suddenly he had issues with breathing, but swiftly everything returned to normal. The itching was gone, but the corset remained; though its presence no longer felt so restrictive. The door to The Chamber opened and the contestant stepped out; he was greeted with a round of applause. On the large screen he saw the results of the two transformations which had focused on his waist. The corset was stylish and fit the rest of his outfit surprisingly well. Tyler did not focus on the style though, but on size. He managed to get an hourglass figure even with his narrow hips, all thanks to the impressively slender waist. The corset was really tight, but not uncomfortable; the contestant did not feel as if his motions or breathing were limited. He admired his almost unreal shape for a moment, until Frank spoke.
"Welcome back, Taylor. I see that you like the result of the transformations."
"Yeah... it's nice," the contestant replied, as he began to walk towards the panel, "and surprisingly comfortable."
"The Corset transformation is more than a fashion statement. It had altered your body as well, although not as significantly as the Waist Narrowing. Wearing tight corsets will restrict your movements only in a limited manner and you'll be able to breathe freely. It's not a return to the Victorian Era and you won't even need to give up any sports."
"That's very reassuring," Taylor replied with a genuine relief in his voice.
"Hopefully it'll boost your confidence before the second round. Pick the category."
"Alcohol."
Because of his wealth Taylor liked fine alcohols. He was more a snob than an actual expert, but at least he knew something; which was more than he knew about many other subjects. His focus did not change between the rounds, but that did not mean that his knowledge increased, so most of the answers were educated guesses at best.
