Transvestia

on the town nearly every week end. I was to enjoy another nineteen months of the Duchess' friendship, clothes, shoes, wig and walking aids. Tho we often reclined together it was never for more than pleasant body-contact.

The Duchess had found me pure and...'simple' and left me a.. TRANSVESTAL VIRGIN.

EDITORS NOTE: Perhaps a word should be said about this history and the one appearing in #35 entitled "To Each His Own". Both of these histories are concerned with a particular type of fetish fixation. Stories and histories like this have not previously been used in TVia, primarily because the focal point of our efforts is not toward the fetishistic aspect of things. However, all of us are rather more inter- ested in some things than in others so none of us is free from fetishistic elements in our makeup. These two pieces were printed because they are en- lightening about some of the doors through which the world of TVism may be entered. I feel that anything that opens our eyes to a wider understanding of this subject in others gives us an improved under- standing of ourselves.

The appearance of these two pieces does not, however, indicate that TVia is embarking on a different course than it has pursued in the past. We are not going to have a spate of pieces about 6 inch heels, 24 inch waist corsets, shoulder length white lace gloves or a run of stories about how "they" or "she" forced me into girls clothes and oh, how I hated it" etc. All of these have their devotees and it is not up to me to judge them, but TVia will continue to follow the course so successfully steared since our first preference questionaire in #4 way back in 1960.
