Act Your Age: Becoming Her Aunt

Act Your Age: Becoming Her Aunt

Her Aunt Julia's invitation to spend a few days at her luxurious villa near Florence was difficult to resist. Not only was London cold and damp but cold and damp seemed to describe her acting career. Josephine had suffered yet another "we'll let you know" at her last audition and, it seemed she'd never get her chance to shine.

When a freak accident forces the 25-year old to impersonate her very rich aunt â€“ a woman well into her 50s who was addicted to plastic surgery and was about to marry a much younger man to boot â€“ she sees it as yet another role to play, albeit not the one she could add to her acting resume. Still, she does her best, assuming the pampered life of her socialite aunt, a woman obsessed with her looks and preserving her fleeting youth. After all, it was only for a day or two until her fiancÃ© could arrange matters and divert suspicion. However, it soon becomes obvious that Josephineâ€™s impersonation will have to be a lot deeper â€“ and much longer â€“ than she thought possible.

Act Your Age is a transformation story of realistic age progression and role change from Camille Langtry, the author of Her Most Remarkable Performance.

â€œNow, a few things we need to discuss. We have a few days to whip you into respectable shape before the servants are back. Donâ€™t worry, they mostly stay out of the way and if you play your role well - and I can see already that you will - they wonâ€™t suspect a thing. Just donâ€™t talk to them, donâ€™t get very close to them, and, above all, let me handle things. They are used to the mistress mostly ignoring their existence anyway. They barely speak English and Julia's Italian left a lot to be desired,â€™â€™ Alfredo began laying out his plan.

â€œThe thing that currently concerns me the most are your lips,â€™â€™ he continued. â€œI worked really hard on them to make them as she wanted. There may be some solutions we could use that wouldn't be as drastic as what she had. Let me think about it a little bit more. Also, your hips and breasts are just not Julia's. She was really proud of her new body. We don't have time to do anything permanent there too. I think I might have an idea, but Iâ€™d need to talk to a surgeon colleague about it first. Iâ€™ll try talking to him today as we are racing against time. He's actually worked with transsexual patients before so he may have some ideas,â€™â€™ he continued as Josephine was processing the information. The magnitude of Alfredoâ€™s plans was frightening. Now there was talk of surgeons. Didnâ€™t he say it was all short-term?

â€œThere is not much we can do with your hair so itâ€™s the wig for now. Get used to it and make sure it doesn't slide or fall off. Another challenging thing is Juliaâ€™s clothing style. If you want to become passable as her you need to learn her preferences. I can help here somewhat, but I want you to spend some time going through her things in the closet. Check out fashion magazines, she was quite fond of Vogue in particular. Perhaps looking at her photographs would also help. She was on Instagram, check it out. Should give you some fashion tips. When the time is right for your grand entrance you should be as Julia-like as possible. Remember, people will look at your clothing first, thatâ€™s how they create their first impression - you fail that test, and our mission will fail too,â€™â€™ Alfredo continued lecturing Josephine, who was nervously touching the unfamiliar silver engagement ring with a large diamond with her index finger. â€œI will leave you for a few hours, my dear, as there are a few things I need to do in the city. I want you to study Juliaâ€™s wardrobe and dress into something appropriate for the day. I wonâ€™t be locking you in this time as I think you are a sensible person, are you not?â€
