I'd like to be very thin with a brunette bob and big brown eyes.

Me 20 years younger and 7 inches taller!

NotNowPlzz · 27/05/2020 20:34

I'd like to be a very tall and slim black man with dreadlocks with sexy green eyes and effortless muscles. Nobody else fancy being a bloke Grin

whereiscaroline · 27/05/2020 20:36

Small delicate nose. Whiter teeth. Size 8.

I'm pretty ok with everything else.

Interested in this thread?

Like me but shorter 5ft 3ish I think. Thicker hair, nicer whiter teeth, I'd like nicer nails, mine are wide. Thinner thighs/hips (I'm a bit of a pear shape)

TheTurnOfTheScrew · 27/05/2020 20:38

Aishwarya Rai, perhaps
I have a very English Rose ie boiled ham complexion and would love to have even toned, golden skin.

homemadecommunistrussia · 27/05/2020 20:39

Me, but thin and good legs. Hmm maybe no big under eye circles either.

ThisIsGonnaHurt · 27/05/2020 20:39

I would like to be slimmer with nice smooth skin. Straight hair as although I prefer the look of my curly hair it has to be 'done' all the time and it's a PITA.

lljkk · 27/05/2020 20:40

How I am (brawny & trim, no major defects) but with nice skin.

Zaphodsotherhead · 27/05/2020 20:42

Well, I'll keep the body, just add a couple of inches to the legs if you would, but the face needs less nose, more lips and better teeth. Oh and more hair with less wave in it, please.

And can I have an actual chin, too?

DaisyChainsForever · 27/05/2020 20:46

Nicer arms, they've been the 1 thing i've always hated. slightly less frizzier hair. And the purple coloured skin under my eyes, to be not so purple, so people wouldn't ask me if i'm ok when i'm not wearing makeup 🤣

AnnaNimmity · 27/05/2020 20:46

I'm happy being me too. Would like to be a stone lighter with a very athletic body, which I have been but find it too hard to maintain.

BillyAndTheSillies · 27/05/2020 20:50

Like most other people, like myself just about five stone slimmer! Oh and without the tattoos, can't stand them now - just as I was warned when I got them.

I'd love to reverse the PCOS so I could take away the bad skin and excess hair, and inevitable weight gain.

Maybe a smaller nose but I've made my peace with that.

Jellykat · 27/05/2020 20:51

Quite happy with body shape and height, but i'd love black thick hair with natural corkscrew curls and blue eyes.. oh and 100% better teeth!.. oh and no varicose veins, also add smaller feet!..
not that much Grin

MilaRos · 27/05/2020 20:52

Rachel Weisz! I think she is just stunning

Runnerduck34 · 27/05/2020 20:53

High cheek bones, good skin, thick wavy ( non frizzy!) dark brown hair, shapely legs, small tapering waist and thin!
I think the actress Rebecca Ferguson looks fab

Aaandrea · 27/05/2020 20:54

Oh no, wouldn't like to be a man at all. I don't want anything that dangles Grin

FeelingTheBurn · 27/05/2020 20:58

I'd probably stay as I am (I'm quite used to my face and it isn't really ugly as such, although I am no great beauty!) but would prefer straighter teeth, perfect eyesight (no glasses!) and to be several stones slimmer.

Actually I could probably achieve most of that....

EnoughAlready2020 · 27/05/2020 20:59

Jlo. I know it's a bit cliche but ffs she's 50. Let me grow old like that please!

fullofgoodintentions · 27/05/2020 21:03

I'd like to be average height, maybe 5"7? Size 10, athletic build rather than skinny. Glossy dark hair that just falls beautifully without much care and attention, olive skin, brown eyes (I have those) long eyelashes, fullish lips.

BillywigSting · 27/05/2020 21:03

I'd be six inches taller, four stone lighter with significantly narrower calves, straighter whiter teeth and no turn in my eye. I'd skip the horrendous pregnancy acne and resulting scarring (had not had not a pimple unit then).

Otherwise I'm alright. I have nice well balanced features. I used to dislike how pointy my chin is but I don't mind it now. I have good strong nails that look almost false if I let them grow and paint them.

My hair is long, thick, shiny and chestnut/auburn coloured, my eyes are an unusual but nice colour and I've got nice feet despite having been a dancer in the past. (they were most definitely not nice then and have had a lot of tlc and comfortable shoes to get them back into decent condition so am I fuck swapping them after the effort I've put into them!).

ThisIsGonnaHurt · 27/05/2020 21:05

Oh yeah I'd also like to be about 5ft6/7

zoemum2006 · 27/05/2020 21:06

Winonya Ryder circa 1994.

Elfin, fine boned with a pixie cut.

skinnyhotchoc · 27/05/2020 21:08

Goldie Hawn when she was young

Carrie7469 · 27/05/2020 21:11

Why do people went freckles? I hate mine.
I'd like to look like Audrey Hepburn or Uma Thurman

hellohungryimmummy · 27/05/2020 21:12

I wouldn’t change me too. I would say I looked my best in a traditional sense in my early 20’s, I’m double that age now and show that as well as the stress from raising two children. But I’m the most content I’ve ever been even though - an age thing I guess. I wouldn’t change anything.

I wish I was more photogenic though - even my DH laughs at how bad I am in photos. I seem to gurn or look a bitch 🤣
