Transvestia

Cover Girl, so send in your nominations. Remember one thing, however. Being CG is not just a personal honor and ego booster. Many people other than TVs see the front of this magazine and their first impres- sion has much to do with their attitude of acceptan- ce toward us. This is particularly true of wives. This is why I don't put sexy shots, lingerie shots, "skirts-up-to-here "shots and obvious "man-in-woman's- clothes pictures in the magazine. I don't want to give the opposition any more chance than necessary to make snide remarks and take pot shots at us.

Therefore, I want for Cover Girls not necessari- ly the prettiest--tho that is certainly a sure qual- ification--but an authentic type of girl--the kind who could get lost in a crowd of other girls--a "just-people" type. So with that limitation, let's have your nominations.

Now about new material: There has been a dearth of new material submitted lately. I have some nice long stories that will come out separately soon and material for a couple of new TV TALES, but general interest material for TVia is getting perilously low. Please remember the Clipsheet too. Although there is enough material on hand for Clips #22 and 23, which will be in the printer's hands this week, they use up most of the current material on hand. So, if you want to see this magazine and the Clipsheets con- tinue, do your part and provide grist for the mill. This does not mean just fiction pieces. We need a balanced menu which I have tried to provide in each issue. Thus I need poems, short sketches, articles of opinion, interesting experiences and interesting case histories. The Letters to the Editor section is practically non existant. I don't want a lot of, "oh how thrilled I am to find Transvestia"-type let- ters. It is very satisfying to me to know of this ap- préciation and I'd be less than human if I didn't en- joy reading it, but this doesn't interest other read- ers. How about some controversy? Heavens knows I've put out enough ideas in the Virgin Views columns over
