And at that point I think of all the psychiatrists and pay- chologists who worry over "the misery, frustration and un- happy life of the transvestite". Poppycock! There's no problem in the world that cannot be solved and if we are un- happy, it is because we have not mobilized all our resources in order to find happiness. Happiness just doesn't come to us. We have to go and get it! And I firmly believe that the TV is in a better position than most mortals to achieve hap- piness in this life.

And before I close this outpouring, I want to thank the many girls who--after much hesitation--finally decided to contact Susanna, and in many cases have decided to spend a week-end with us at the resort. It is a shame that I can't offer them this Season the night-club phase of the resort which I had last year, but I've discovered that the fun is within our own selves and that we carry within our own stage- show.

And that's all for now my dears, and don't forget you have a sincere friend in.

SUSANNA VALENTI

P. S.

How could I forget a little gossip? My friend Gail would immediately and sweetly say: "Well, when one is get- ting along in years...". She came back from the Orient with the Oriental "bug"..Her make-up is getting gheisha-ish and she's even learned to say "so solly". They tell me Denise is making a successful go in wedlock. Edith (how ban that gal chatter!!!) is charmed and delighted with Denise's spouse. She seems to be another one in the very small list of understanding wives. As to Edith herself, she is getting better all the time-practice makes perfect, you know. Her only defect is that she talks all the time, but then, she wouldn't be truly feminine if she didn't. She's ever so proud of the prize she won as a member of an all-girl bowling team. If the other girls just know who they were competing with!
