Banked body shots

Pity the Hollywood actress. When young and buff, only the crummiest and most exploitative roles are available. By the time she is a household word and can get loads of work, she is in her forties and getting reluctant to let it all hang out. Pity the male star, who buffs himself up with work and steroids for an action role, must play Falstaff the next year, and then - another action role? Back to the gym!

Technology can fix this. Just as John Wayne can do Pepsi ads by pasting in old footage, the Body Shot Bank allows an actress or actor to appear in certain crucial scenes with the body she had twenty, thrity, even forty years before. The BSB is a service provided to aspiring starlets (and stars!) who know that they look as good as they ever will, and want to save it away for late use. Several hours of blue screen fottage is taken in various states of undress. Later, these images can be taken from the vault and pasted in over the actresses own aging body.
