44.

me green with envy when I heard him talk. What a beau- tiful feminine voice...natural...no falsetto. His wife is a delightful blonde. Says she sees in him two dis- tinct and different personalities, the husband and Diane. When TVia starts having pix I'm sure "The Coquettes" would not mind having their pix in our mag. They'll be guest artists some week-ends this summer at the Resort. (((ED. Note: You see the pics this time, Susanna, better start getting them together but see opening paragraph of Edit. orial Emanations this issue. How about getting them to do an article on their act, their meeting, their life...

Just to show how strong TVism can be as a guiding force in a man's life...I'm very well acquainted with a chap from So. Amer. who came to the USA some 20 yrs. ago for the only reason that "here he hoped to find more opp- ortunities for cross-dressing than in his own country". Which by the way is true. Latin Americans (despite the Carnival antics) at least on the surface are even worse than the US citizen when it comes to condemning any fem- inine train in a man. They go so far along this line that even a harmless Varsity show is something "just not done" in Latin American Universities. Not one student would dare to appear in public in skirts. At least in the US my friend found Varsity shows, halloween and masquerade balls where he could indulge. Moreover, the large US cities are the ideal place for TVs, considering that you can live for years without ever trading one word with your neighbor next door. (This is of course not true in small towns where everybody minds everybody else's business). My friend found so many opportunities for cross-dressing that he decided not to return to his home country and stayed here for good despite the fact that all of his family are still living in So. Amer. I know he'll never go back. He is too happy here in his silks and satins.

This is all from New york for this time....See you in TRANSVESTIA No. 4...and I hope in person at the Chevalier d'Eon Resort this summer.

Love to all from.....Susanna
