Transvestia

From

articles written by Dr. Scott Pugh on our subject. I ended up by paying him ten dollars just to let me talk about my case in his office...the first human being to whom I had ever admitted I was a TV. that visit, a few months later, came my first TV contact: Terry (Cover Girl in TVia #11, I think). She had also read the same articles and had gone to see Dr. Pugh. The good doctor died a few years ago. He was extremely sympathetic and understanding.

What a difference we find in this year of 1966! Transvestic material is found all over the place. So much so that we have become pretty sophisticated about it and if the material turns out to be below par, we barely glance at it. Even the Jewel Box Review, or Finocchio's, or Club 82 are now under critical scrutiny. If they should put on a mediocre show, it is quite common to hear TV's say: that was a boring show! Would we have reacted this way some ten years ago? I doubt it. We certainly have come a long way. In TVia 37, Virginia expresses the view that with the changing times and changing mores, TVism as such may be on the way out - meaning of course that in the future there won't be masculine clothes and feminine clothes ....there'll be just clothes...I'm afraid Virginia is right, but I must confess I hate the thought...and I hope that she and I turn out to be wrong so that we can continue to dream of a sequined dress as the ultimate in feminity. Let us say that I am a "conservative TV" and that I thoroughly enjoy the existence of a sharp dividing line between what is feminine and what is masculine...I think that if both sexes end up by wearing the same type of garments I'll turn into s recluse and fill my abode with Victorian dresses, tight laced corsets and satin bloomers! So there!

And speaking of seclusion: since Spring is here "Casa Susanna" is opening... (May 7th will be the first week-end)...and as I write these lines I have next to me the first letter of the Season: it's from Ruby San Francisco...Dear Susanna: Looks like I'll be in
