Feminization Article - Entertainment Weekly, The Feminizers

I recently did a caption about a Television Game show in which the participants were feminized.  You can find that caption HERE .   After a little thought, I kind of wanted to expand on that idea.  Mostly, I like the idea of  "men" competing to be as feminine as possible, but I also thought I could inject a little humanity into the story. 

After deciding to do it, I had to think of a way to present the idea.  Part of me wanted to do a simple text story, but I kind of wanted more than that.  I wanted to present pictures; I wanted readers to see these feminized boys.  And so, I settled on a caption story.  Then, in a fit of inspiration, I saw an issue of Entertainment Weekly (at the dentist's office), and I remembered my fake Time Magazine cover/articles.  Immediately, I knew how to present the idea.

I really enjoy doing these fake articles because it allows me to experiment with a different type of writing.  I know I'm not on the level of some of the better journalists out there, but I think my article is, at worst, passable (if you ignore typos).  I didn't spend as much time on formatting here as I did with the Time piece, but I don't think it really detracts from the effect.  In particular, I'm really proud of how the cover turned out. 

So I guess, without further ado, here's what I came up with.

I fully intended to put the name captions within the article, but I got a little lazy.  I hope it doesn't ruin anything for you all!
