Transvestia

legged, have rather knotty muscles in my legs, wear size 12 wide shoes (some brands I can be fairly comfor- table with 11 EEE's) wear 20 Tall or 38 dresses, a 38 C or 40 B bra filled out with Chevalier's little do- hickeys, have auburn hair and a wig which almost perfectly matche even though it was ready-made and not custom-matched. I do not own many clothes. I am trying to build a ward- robe of good quality, sensibly styled garments. I know virtually nothing about make-up, as my pictures probably indicate. I like to sew and am pretty good at it. My brother, angel that he is, bought me a dandy automatic zig-zag machine last Christmas that does wonders...when I have time to us it!

This has caused him to have eight jobs in the past eleven years, not counting the slew of things he tried to do during the 18-month depressed period he went through. He even caused his wife to lose one of her jobs. He supports a child by his second wife who lives with her, hiw wife, a wonderful four-year old child by her, a mother-in-law and a dog. He loves his wife dearly, but I sometimes think he loves himself more. In spite of me, he knows he must have a wife to meet his masculine needs. Sometimes he is not able to satisfy her, and he is seriously considering hyp- nosis as a solution to this problem, because he knows that he must be able to, is obligated to, make her life happy or he cannot preserve his marriage. He feels if he does
