It's not that we're not content with our own lives.... but what
a difference a day could make. These are the top ten women we would
love to swap lives with for just one day. Think of it like a
holiday to your dream destination…
Mary Portas
Not only does Mary get to work alongside Mr Cameron himself
(personal opinions aside), but she also spends most of her life
either shopping or telling other people how to. On the flip side,
being responsible for reviving the economy must be a bit of a
burden.
Pink
Although being a Mum is without a doubt hard work, having
thousands of adoring women willing to pander to your every need
must help. They could change the nappies while you relax with best
bud Ellen DeGeneres.
Jessie J
She broke her leg mid-festival season last summer but even that
didn't stop Jessie J. To date she has earned two number one
singles, won a BRIT award and performed held up by crutches on
Glastonbury's second biggest stage. In her words "nobody's
perfect", but she's close and for one day you could be
too.
Heather Peace
Killing two birds with one stone, Heather Peace dips her toes
into acting and music. Last summer she toured alongside
Scottish songstress Jill Jackson, so you could soon be rubbing
shoulders with some of DIVA's favourite ladies. Sounds better than
sitting at a desk, don't you think?
Leisha Hailey
Giving Heather a run for her money, Leisha is famous both for
her role as Alice in The L Word and band Uh Huh Her. We wouldn't
mind passing a day as either of the two, or perhaps they should
just fight it out for the honour? We reckon Leisha might win,
judging by her feisty reaction to being ejected from a flight last
year after kissing her girlfriend.
Ellen DeGeneres
She's married to the gorgeous Portia de Rossi, loved around the
globe and apparently she's also Kate Middleton's fifteenth cousin.
Choose Ellen and not only would you get paid to chat with celebs,
but you could also pop to Buckingham Palace for a cuppa with long
lost Aunt Elizabeth.
Ilene Chaiken
You probably recognise her name from the credits for The L Word,
which she wrote and co-created. Her CV also includes helping to
produce (ahem) the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. So if you write fast
perhaps you could make a start on the long-awaited L Word The Film?
Your friends would surely be impressed by your sudden revelation as
to who actually did kill Jenny. Don't worry, the secret's safe with
us.
J.K. Rowling
Everyone knows that money doesn't buy you happiness, but if you
were J.K. Rowling for one day you could have a pretty good shot at
trying. Her name has appeared on both the Forbes and Sunday Times
top 100 rich lists, so you could easily afford to invite Pink round
for champagne and canapés. After sweeping her off her feet you
would still have enough cash left to shop for your dream castle
together.
Jane Lynch
Which shows hasn't she appeared in? She's been in The L Word,
Glee, Desperate Housewives and the list goes on. If you were Jane
for a day surely you could score a leading role in the next
Blockbuster or gather enough Hollywood gossip to entertain your
friends for months once you returned from your day seeing the world
as Jane sees it.
Angela Eagle
For years she was the only openly gay MP in the House of
Commons. As such she got to put David Cameron in his place after he
told her to "calm down, dear". Such power and access to expenses
could be put to good use (and we don't mean duck ponds!). Just be
careful not to upset the voters too much.
