aside $25 to purchase a batch of cards, but as I was reaching the cor- ner of Madison Avenue and 60th St...something incredible happened.. I saw a nightie-negligee combination in a window..pale blue..so..I happened to walk in.. and I just happened to ask for the price and my size.. and you know what?.. Susanna got an extra Xmas gift that day!! sorry (me, big liar)..but you know how it is..bye for now dears, and I do mean. a Happy TV Year to all... Love, Susanna..

P.S. A good, practical system to find out how much rehearsing and practice you need is to pretend someone is going to take your picture. Stand in front of a full length mirror and strike up a pose. Does it come easily? Do you know what to do with your hands? Or do you feel like a sack of potatoes? If you have to struggle like mad to achieve a half-way feminine pose then you surely need practice! Lots of it! Do the same thing sitting down and getting up. Does the image in the mirror look graceful? Or does it look like King Kong's daughter sitt- ing atop the Empire State Building? Look at the girl on television.. see how she walks and moves about the room. Then march in front of your mirror..see the difference? If you don't, then you must have had too much vodka...cut it out! A friend of mine compiled the most fascinating scrap book I've ever seen. Not a single TV or impersonator in the pictures!!! Just page after page of "GG's"..gals..one section of gals standing and walking, dozens of different stances and poses.. then another section of women sitting down in arm chairs, sofas, in- side a car, at picnics, etc.. then another section of girls at a table, eating, drinking, smoking..he would study carefully each pose, each stance and copy it carefully in front of a mirror, over and over, until it clicked.. it came naturally. Silly? If you think it's silly, then you might as well get back behind a locked door and read Popular Mech- anics. Of course you don't need a scrap book like that if you have a wife who co-operates, or a good friend who's willing to help.. we need criticism, we need advice if we are to live a TV life that is esthetic- ally satisfying to ourselves as well as to those we come in contact with.

And another thing. No matter how difficult it may be, do your best to learn to zip and unzip yourselves in and out of any dress. not expose yourselves to the possibility of having to either rip a good frock to pieces, or as it happened recently to Gail (NY) having to phone some friends at 3 o'clock in the morning and organize a salvage expedition..imagine 3 ΟΙ us dashing in a car to Gail's apartment just to liberate her from a beautiful new dress she would have had to wear forever if we hadn't come to the rescue! On second thought, did Gail really appreciate our prompt help? Hmmmm!
