I  had  a  bit  of  trouble falling  asleep  last  night, though  I think  I squeezed  in  a couple  of hours. So  I don’t  think  I’ll  be blogging  too much  today!

While vainly  trying  to  sleep, I watched  Miss Congeniality which  was  a late  night movie  on  cable. It’s  about  a FBI agent, played  by Sandra Bullock, who goes  undercover  as  a  beauty  pageant  contestant  to nab a terrorist.

It’s  almost like a horror  movie to me – in  a  way. Her character, Gracie, is “transformed” from an unkempt, crude  tomboy  into…a beauty  queen by  a “consultant” played by  Michael  Caine. It’s  kind  of a modern  take  on  My  Fair  Lady, only  with  no  wagering ( though  the  stakes  are  high).

I actually  enjoy  the  movie and like  Bullock’s character   (she  is kind of a bad ass). But it is kind of offensive  in  a way, since she is “forced” to undergo  this girly  transformation. I don’t  want hot wax forced on me! I don’t  want  to wear heels!

How  about twist  on  this story – where a weenie  hipster boy is forced  to become more “manly?” Maybe  weenie  hipster snowflake  boy  is an FBI agent  who  has to infiltrate  the Mafia?

His beard? Gone….Hair? Conservative  cut. Skinny jeans/jogger  pants? Nope. Maybe  the powers  that be would make him gain weight so he looks more like a “wise guy.” Dialogue  coach  would be played by DeNiro and make him watch  a bunch of mob movies and go all Rex  Harrison  on  his ass. Give him  a shiny three-piece suit and expensive shades. Maybe a snazzy hat.

Maybe it’s  more “funny” when  a woman  is  unwillingly transformed  into something  she’s not?

Forgive  me, readers (I’m  a bit  tired)!
