Whenever it comes time to write an editorial I not only have to sit down and think up a subject but then ask myself whether it will be interesting enough or important enough to my readers to write up. Lots of things may interest me but may be either too far out in left field for many of you or also something that you are just plain not interested in. I would appre- ciate some comments and suggestions regarding the context of past editorials and suggestions for future ones. I don't write these just to fill up pages in the magazine. I try to select topics that have interested me and which may interest some of you and to try to provide challenging thoughts that you can agree with or disagree with, but which will make you think a little to do either. So how about some feedbacks?? ? *

Several correspondents at one time or another in the past have brought up the question of what are we really doing when we femme dress. For almost all of us in the beginning and for many still, dressing in feminine attire was an erotic experience because we were "experiencing" a woman. We did it not by physical contact with a female from the outside but, so to speak, by getting inside her "skin". Clothing, that which is seen by others, being a symbolic skin.
