Transvestia

knee level to a high point above her head...then I joined in the motion, and you should have seen the difference! It took my complacency several notches down! My arm was bent at the elbow showing an angle that shouldn't be there, my hand was breaking too much at the wrist again presenting a sharp angle, the result was angularity, a typical male quality. So Susanna began to work to erase those angles, and believe me, it is hard....the teacher says it takes a lot of practice until you can make that motion as it should be...and that's only one of many problems connected with graceful fluid motion. It is not enough to put on a skirt, we have to know how to "wear" it gracefully, otherwise we'll always impress others as awkward entities that have no business climbing into clothes we don't know how to wear.

And that's about all for now, my dears... hope you are all busy thinking of Fall and Winter... fashion time is coming!!!!

Love

Susanna

The situation seems monstrously unfair when fashion arbiters are urging sister to wear pants morning, noon and night, and the man-tailored two-pants suit for street wear is already in the wardrobe of many women. If all the women wearing pants on the public streets were arrested as transvestites, detention camps would have to be built to relieve the overcrowded jails. But let a man put on a skirt, other than a kilt, and in jig time he's trying to get up bail money. If this nation believes in equality of the sexes let it extend freedom of dress to men, all holds and penalties barred. In a day when clothing is becoming
