44-SANDY THOMAS ADVERTISING

They poured over wedding gown magazines, visited lots of bridal shops, where Julian spent hours trying on dress after dress. Finally, they found "the dress"! It was gorgeous as they knew it would be. The yards and yards of white silk and satin in the skirt was held out from Julian's body with a dozen white tulle and lace petticoats. It had a Queen Anne neckline, Juliet sleeves, and a large satin bow at the back.

The train was eight feet long in back and would require assistance from the bridesmaid to move about during the ceremony.

Julian worked on his hair for an hour each day just conditioning and pampering it. He had not cut it since before that first club party. It had been just over shoulder length then, now it was well down his back. It glistened like corn silk after the religious brushing that Julian or Suzanne gave it several times a day.

Her brother also learned to deal with long nails which he had grown a full half inch past his finger tips. There had been much talk about Chris's breasts in the O'Connor household.

Julian's mother would see Chris, his wild golden hair framing his face, dressed in tight, lowcut tops that displayed an abundant cleavage--the kind of look that men go for in a big way.

Chris showed a wide-eyed Julian his breasts. In a swift movement, Chris snapped open his thin, gauzy brassiere, and said, "Feel them!" Julian cupped his friend's breasts with his warm fingers, feeling the soft roundness and then tweaking Chris's nipples between his thumb and forefinger. Chris said, "You really ought to get tits too! Everyone treats you differently.

Chris didn't reveal how when men were talking to himthey'd stare helplessly at his chest not at his face. Breasts were still "new" enough to Chris that he was giddy about what was so compelling about the "secret message" breasts sent from a female to a male.

Seeing the soft curves looking as if they were bursting to escape Chris's chest, Julian asked innocently, "Do they hurt?"

"No, but I know they are there!" Chris said. "When they wobble, bounce and jiggle, I feel like grabbing them to hamper the movement. I guess I'm getting used to it."

Julian had noticed how Chris had changed. The soft lilting movement and the way his blouses hung, showed the promise of a blossoming woman's sexuality.

MY SON, THE BRIDE-45

Julian and Suzanne had decided not to take that step just yet. Julian openly wanted breasts but he also realized that Suzanne liked his male body in bed. She loved the feminine face, hair, and nails. . .but she liked a mostly male body beneath the finery.

Though neither Julian nor Suzanne saw each other's bridal gowns they did share in selecting the dresses for Tani, Bonnie, Chris and Heather. The two Maids of Honor were going to wear shocking pink strapless dresses that, as per Chris's request, provided an opportunity to flaunt a healthy bosom.

Bonnie didn't mind going up against a boy in that department. Mother Nature had been generous with her. The two bridesmaids dresses would be in the same shocking pink but not strapless.

Tani and Heather were both very petite, so the dresses chosen were just above the knee with puff sleeves and what was called an Illusion neckline. It had a sheer pink fabric above the bosom up to a jeweled collar. It had the appearance of being low-cut. The style was perfect for the smaller figure. Jeff couldn't wait to see his lover in the sexy outfit.

While all the wedding preparations were going on, Julia's boutique was starting to take shape. They had found a nice Beverly Hills location, signed a lease, had the interior renovations in process, found a source for their initial inventory, put together a promotional campaign and were basically ready for the grand opening several weeks after their honeymoon.

The business from their club members and friends of theirs should keep them busy in itself. The fashions were very feminine, very elegant, and very expensive. The latter being nothing new for a Beverly Hills shopper. The boys in the club were quite excited about "Julia's" boutique. It would be a place where they could truly feel comfortable shopping.

Granted that some of the members, like Tani, Julian, Chris, could shop anywhere without worry, others were not so lucky. They had to rely on larger size shops, their mothers' sewing or mail order. Suzanne and Julia assured those that special sizes would be stocked and even private, after-hours evening shopping would be available to them.

The wedding day had arrived! The homes of the two brides were beehives of action by 6:00 AM. Julian wasn't feeling great. His friends had had a bachelor or should we saw a
