Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why
This is ridiculously hard! There are a few all for different reasons. The names that come to mind are Mrs. Pankhurst, Dita, Bettie Page but I couldn't pick one - seriously. Although I've always had a dream ever since I found out about the Victorians and all their fantasies, flamboyant ways of living and mysterious when I was about 10 or so, that I'd love to spend a day as a Londoner in that time period. Just to have a feel of what it would be like to smell their smells, walk down their streets and see things truly how they were - not just from pictures in a book.
However; thinking back to the original question it leaves me with a sense I wouldn't be good enough - like Mrs. Pankhurst - I don't think I have half her bravery or courage and in her fight every minute counted. Therefore, I may muck up something really quite substantial (butterfly effect and such). So I'd have to say Dita Von Teese just because she is still living her story - Bettie and Mrs. Pankhurst have their heroic lives written and that's the way it should be. It would be quite good to look in a mirror and see her stare back, having her curves and being small then the giant I am towards her! Plus all the glamourous clothes and places she has and visits would most interesting!
