The sports-challenged nerd can dressup as an all-star hockey player; someone who's hopelessly shy can vamp it up as a showgirl; the blue-collar worker can pose as a sugar daddy; or the jock can morph into one of history's great literati for a night.

Left to our primal vices, when we are free to be anyone or anything we want to be, we often choose to turn up the heat and be a bolder, sexier version of ourselves.
