Or
G) I've also run into the "TV snob". This is a real pill. You think you are doing her a real favor and you tell her you know a darling little Chinese restaurant where the lights are low, and there are nice booths to insure privacy. When you finally get to the door of the restaurant she'll back away with a disdainful gesture. She wouldn't be seen in such a modest place. The Waldorf Astoria or nothing! again, you show her a new dress you bought on 42nd St. for which you paid only $5 (and by the way, you certainly can buy beautiful $5 dresses at Carol-Ann on 42nd nr. the corner of 6th Ave...sizes up to 22). She'll give you another dis- dainful look and point to the fact that she never wears any- thing but expensive clothes. The worst of the lot in this catagory was an out-of-town TV who came to the Resort. Took one look around and left, stating that, "the place was not suitable" She evidently thought we had a Caribe Hilton in the mountains.
So far it looks as though I'd run into some pretty messy types of TV's. True, but let me say that these constitute a very small minority. Even with these faults, they are still pretty nice people once you get to know them well. The great majority of the girls I've been priveleged to en- tertain at the Chevalier d'Eon have been simply wonderful and made everybody fall in love with them. I wanted to spell out these various types not with the idea of ridiculing or offending anybody, but with the hope that if there are girls reading these lines who think some of these observa- tions apply to them, they will take the criticism as com- ing from a girl who is really proud of being a TV and wishes that every TV could be a model of perfection so that the society around us would feel a certain degree of admira- tion for a very difficult accomplishment: that of looking and acting the female part as a real lady does. We should impress on the non-TVs that our "hobby" instead of lowering our status as human beings, does just the opposite and bring forth virtues and qualities worth of praise and admiration. As a matter of fact (and I believe that I am not blinded by prejudice) I've found that the "girl" is by far the nicer personality than the "boy" in most TVs.
