New Story Idea - [?]

[maximum360]

So; I had this really vivid idea a while back. I really think its a good one, but I don't think I'd be up to writing it, so I'm posting that idea here. (I would like to see what story someone might make from it, so if this takes your fancy I'd love to read your final script.)

--------------------

This is about a certain shop in a futuristic world obsessed with looks and success.

This shop is the future equivelent of Playboy; it is the glamorous side of ... you know

But this shop doesnt sell magazine subscriptions or photographs or calendars.

This shop sells body shapes, and in particular, we're interested in the "male" section...

In my head, there were these rows and rows of portrait shots, like movie posters but of different builds/styles of guy. From the "swimwear" to the "fitness" section, all showcasing the latest "styles". (*In the future this would work like the fasion industry; each year/season there would be different "styles" in vogue, and to stay on top you would buy a new one whenever it came out)

The plot for the story I decided not to write focused on a kid just turning 20, the age where you're allowed to start taking the treatment to get these bodies, and his friends all come with him to the store and help him pick out a body to wear. I didnt get much farther than that plot-wise, I just spent a lot of time overthinking (and ... uh ... appreciating) the idea of this shop.

Really thats all I've got, but the idea of a store that sells athleticism to muscle bods and everything in between as easily as Target sells clothing ... was really hot to me. And so, fasion designers not only make the clothes... they make the body you wear them in, too!

Think of what it must be like to "come of age" in such a society. If you're a wimp and from an affluent family, you could just BUY your hot, amazing, delicious muscles......

Well, sure, but those already exist in real life! Heck, this site is an "expansion pack" for me!
