I ran across a phrase today I had never heard and it inspired a story idea. It's just that I don't think I'm the right person to write this story and besides, I already have too many things to do and write now. So, I thought I would just throw it out here and see if anyone wanted to do something with it.

A man and his wife, or perhaps a boy and his sister, or even a pair of male friends, get into an argument about who has the better fashion sense. Things escalate through insults to argument to challenge and then its,

That's the phrase I read this morning and it struck me as a story seed. :)

Perhaps one meeting is not decisive and the confrontation must be repeated -- at least three times? What's the madcap finish? Someone gets a sex change as a topper? Maybe an O.Henry ending? Are there spectators? Third parties like girlfriends or mothers? Magic or SF involved?

It could be pretty funny but I don't think I could do it justice, so there it is and someone else might have entirely different ideas on how to develop it, if anyone wants to. Or maybe this will just be a good thread with goofy comments. :)

Hugs,
Erin
