The mysterious stranger

What's the most outrageous deception you ever perpetrated? Did you pretend to be an architect in order to attend an architect's ball? Lie at a party and tell an eligible stranger that you were European royalty? Claim that you'd invented the Twinkie to impress co-workers?

Did you ever wish you could be the person you pretended to be? If you can pretend to be it, what's stopping you from actually being it?

This week's theme is being genuine.
