That's kinda hot, but yeah, it's like switching from the Yankees to the Red Sox. Ten or so years ago, that was a tough change. Now? Not so much.

Passion's cool. I think there's great potential in rapid personality changes that make the subject far more passionate about a given subject. Evil conversion gets tons of play, and that's basically girls getting passionate about evil. There's more to dichotomy than good/evil and man/woman, but you don't see much in the way of city/country, nerd/jock, housewife/businesswoman... all of which can be accompanied by physical changes. I suppose it's harder to make that sort of thing sexy, though, and the fantasy appeal is restricted to the rapid progression of the change rather than the change itself.
