Pink Library #14: Candy's Hearts

Valentine's Day has been and gone but here is a nice little bimbo transformation tale I came across last week.

Candy's Hearts by BimbosAndDolls

It's interesting sometimes when you read something and imprint your own thoughts and preferences onto it. I think if I was writing this I would have ramped up the differences between the two and maybe made Amanda a but frostier towards Candy and even look down on her a bit which would make her transformation into her bestie a bit sweeter. I've always leant into the 'They will become what they hate' style of writing a little bit more: nerds to popular girls, frugal guys to bratty shopaholics, prudes to sluts etc. 

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the story or how it could be 'improved' but I found it interesting thinking what direction I would take it in personally. This is still in that wheelhouse though with the transformation being a the 'plain jane' to bombshell change however it's also clear that by the end of the story Amanda seems much happier as bimbo Mandy than as her overworked previous self. It's a fun little tale that I really enjoyed.

Here are some other tales I'm following at the moment:

Bikini Beach: My Dumb Sapphic Summer by Emily Safeharbor - A woman accidentally swaps places with the bimbo lead character of a cheesy 1980s lesbian movie.

The Chav Next Door by Elsie - a teenage boy moves to a council estate and falls in with a gang of chav girls.

Marc's Secret by Dani Sweets - a man discovers that he seems to be unconsciously crossdressing.

Check-Up #34

 It's been a bit of a rough month especially getting back to work after a short break for Christmas and the New Year. I've often come back to the idea to dressing at work and sometimes I think it's a good idea and sometimes bad. For my birthday a friend even bought me a nice blouse I could wear and I may still do at some point but at this point it feels like it would be a hollow victory. Dressing how I would like is not going to change certain aspects of the job that I hate and colleagues I have issues with. What would be the point of it all? 

I've managed to get some new clothes over the past few weeks too; a nice purple dress with a black floral  pattern, a blue and grey top with a lilac collar trim and little bow on the side which looks quite cute, a beige maxi-skirt and a red plaid dress that looks a bit 1960s. I've had a look at the dress in the shop a few times and never really thought it was for me but I decided to try it on at the same time as the skirt and grew to like it plus it was a nice fit. Also bought a make-up kit as well so hopefully I can start experimenting with that. 

I was thinking of doing a new 'Outfits of the Week' section on here featuring some of the great stuff I've seen on TV series or films although it may take a bit of work by sourcing various screencaps plus even without the time aspect I sometimes get a bit overly focused on things and what does and does not count so it may not materialise. That aside, I still thought I would give a quick shout out to hair and beauty salon owner Aoibheann Walsh who was recently on the new series of The Apprentice.

From the shot above you may able to see why. I've always found something alluring about a woman in a suit and tie since seeing Amy Acker in an episode of Dollhouse. Unfortunately Aoibheann didn't last beyond episode two which is a shame because she seemed like a nice person and had some great outfits including some fab dresses and it would have been great to see more.
