Freaky Friday
I really like both of the Freaky Friday films (yes, even Lohan's performance) and think it's a truly interesting concept. It can easily be applied to every day life and can conjure up amusing circumstances. Today, whilst walking in beautiful sunshine, I contemplated what might happen if a group of average men and women swapped bodies for twenty four hours.
Whilst I can tell you what I think the women might do, I think it's the men in womens bodies that would prove to be both amusing and intriguing! Firstly (and this is a cliche), I think they'd sit around for hours literally oggling their own bosoms, poking, prodding and generally checking themselves out. They would probably spend a fair amount of time naked before throwing on some old jeans and a stained t-shirt reserved by the girl for hair dyeing and DIY tasks.
If these men were to have a night on the town, you can be sure they'd let it all hang out. I'm thinking low cut tops (to make the most of having boobs), and barely there mini skirts. There's an amazing Chris Rock sketch when he discusses the differences between men and women (quite accurately). He acknowledges that whilst women get offers from men on a daily/hourly basis (and more often than not – turn them down) it becomes easy to turn down, however, as soon as men get offers (rare) they cannot say no because who knows when it will happen again!
"Cause every woman in here, ever since you were … every guy you met has
been trying to fuck you. That's right. Women are offered dick every
day. Every woman in here … gets offered dick at least three times a
week."
On this basis, you can expect men in womens bodies to end up pulling (maybe even in a gay bar) as many people as possible in 24 hours. They would probably be astounded by the amount of offers. Also, men would take every single drink that was offered to them. If you tell a male friend about the amount of free drink or food offers you get from the opposite sex they will probably act disgusted and say that women use men to get stuff (only half true), but given half the chance they'd love it. Lets hope that they'd get themselves so drunk that as soon as midnight rolled around (and it was time to switch back) they'd be passed out in public and wake up as a man in drag. I should go in to script writing...
