It is absolutely marvelous. How did you ever begin to publish it? I have never knowingly met other men who cross-dress or even known of any. My wife knows I do it and helps. On and off I have gone places wearing femin- ine clothing and although at first I was rather nervous no one gave any indication they suspected.

I think this idea of Susanna's, the TV resort, is a wonderful idea. I certainly hope she opens it up and gives advance notice.

I saw your magazine mentioned in Sexology. I am a subscriber and search every issue for articles on trans- vestism as I am sure other people do.

Sincerely,

Susan, Maryland.

Dear Editor:

Enclosed is a check for 3 more issues of TVia. Hope you can keep it up--you are doing fine. Also enclosed are some copies of clippings from the old "London Life". I was particularly interested in "What to Wear" in #4 by Jo-Anne of Montreal. Exotic garb is certainly thrilling, but if you are going out in public it is a lot better to merge with the landscape. In other words be one of the common herd. A casual glance identifies you unless there is something out of the ordinary to hold someone's attention.

Assurance covers up a lot of sins of ommission and commission but it does not do everything. I have noticed that there are three features which attract attention, bushy eyebrows, wrong finger nails and shoes. Anything "wrong" is, of course dangerous, but a lot of women get by with a good deal of "wrong" just because they carry it off with assurance they may not feel but assert anyway. A woman friend, who did a lot to make me feel nat- ural, always told me, "Be yourself, dont try to put on and be something you aren't. (The fact that I was trying to be something "I wasn't" seemed to escape her, but I got her meaning and did not go to extremes.
