Transvestia

Hope to make the conversion next year. The only thing we have placed in that new barn is (and excuse the ex- pression) a pool table. I know it is not exactly a feminine game, but we've had quite a few week-ends of pool in high heels. It's fun...like anything one can mention as long as we are wearing dresses. New TV's have appeared on the horizon aside from a few of the old guard. Daphne from Toronto is still the most enthusiastic visitor at Casa Susanna and she has already made three trips on three different week-ends. It's a long, long drive and I am still amazed at the lengths we can go in order to satisfy this burning urge of ours. There's another TV in Toronto, by the name of Cynthia, who is slowly warming up to the idea of coming with Daphne for a week-end. She is still deathly afraid of passing through customs and having all her pretty things examined by the customs inspectors. Daphne manages very nicely, but Cynthia is simply afraid. I plan to take three weeks vacation this year and spend them all at the resort. This has given some of our friends the opportunity to plan for a longer stay.. and again Daphne leads the parade with one full week there ending on Labor Day.

Another female impersonator show has opened in New York, at the Crazy Horse Club. ..I haven't seen it, but the first reports from friends who have are definitely negative. The show is poor in talent and the place is poor in service. There is however, a definite trend to- wards more impersonator shows in many night-clubs. There are quite a few in Brooklyn, for instance, and I discovered two impersonators working in a night club, some 15 miles away from our resort. I am also told that you find them in several Summer resorts in the Catskill area. Dorothea, from Chicago, tells me there are at least half a dozen clubs in the area presenting femme mimics. Personally I have been idle for about two years and I've decided to do something about it. My dancing is terribly rusty and will have to take ballet lessons for a while to limber up, And by the way, the ballet teacher I will be studying under tells me that every TV should try at least a few basic lessons in ballet....It is amazing what they do to limber up and to teach you gracefulness in your movements. As a test, a ballerina stood in front of a mirror with me standing right behind her, a bit to the right, and she proceeded to elevate her right arm from
