The barbie drug, brown and hard anyone?
Ugly people with tans are still ugly. Now they'll be hornier, too.

"you'd get a fantastic tan and a highly active libido, with a slim figure and clear skin as possible side-effects."
Yeah, like, I am just sooooo sure. With hormone therapy as a backdrop, I find this really hard to believe.

How about a drug that would make you brim over again with sexual desire and simultaneously turn you into an object of desire – by restoring that all-over tan, for instance?

Hey, I never thought I'd wear this Speedo again. Now that I'm nice and tan -- unnggh. Little tight. No matter. I'm headed to the beach.

Now if they can toss some of this in the capsule, human beings would be way more pleasant as sexual partners. Tan, hard, and slightly citrusy-tasting.

ColdChef: There are some drugs that can make you wittier, I bet, by increasing your brain function. After all, intelegence == ability to create jokes.
As for richer, well. Just find a way to make the drug illegal and sell it on the black market. You'll have all the money you could imagine.

Green frogs turned inky, and dog's fur turned black. This is really something I want to put in my body.
What will this stuff do to us already (blessed?) with concentrated melatonin levels, I wonder?

I predict that sales of this drug to my fellow countrymen on the Indian subcontinent will be incredibly disappointing since everyone's already brown, slender and humping like bunnies.

This reminds me of the Ken and Barbie-esque characters near the end of William Gibson's Neuromancer.
As I remember, they were perpetually high, amorous, and unnaturally tan. Yet one more case of sci-fi author prescience? Also, does anyone remember the characters' names?

bullitt 5, don't forget the characters in the Sandman stories who were actually named Ken and Barbie...if you haven't read it, that probably sounds stupid, but he makes it work.

Just wait, I'm sure there will be secret side-effects or something.
But if there aren't, then I'll try it. :)

A Game of You is the main Barbie story, although I believe she and the Ken character appear first in The Doll's House.
