Transvestia

unattached female at a TV gathering and that said female might show a bit more understanding and ad- miration towards her dressed-up husband than the wife is willing to show. These are not the situa- tions that I have in mind when I say "he's more like- ly to let go". I refer to that extra bit of feminine mannerisms, spontaneous giggling, gossipping, even a try at "girl-to-girl" dancing in which he would definitely not indulge were the wife present. Let me also bring up the subject of female hormones. Many TV's love to talk about this subject whether they indulge in hormones or not. It is mostly a matter of curiosity, perhaps tantalizing curiosity, just as they are extremely curious to meet and talk to a trans-sexual who's had "the operation". This curiosity--as we well know--does not necessarily mean that the TV husband is contemplating such a step or even wishing for it.

This is the same type of curiosity that impels TV's to keep up with the performances of the Jewel Box Review, or visit the Club 82 or Finocchio's whenever they have a chance. This is particularly true of the lonely TV who has not yet discovered Transvestia and the girls that one meets thru our

mag.

Add to this curiosity another element of the TV personality: day-dreaming. Oh, how we daydream! We probably daydream in a lifetime more than any other type of human being..and we are very reluctant to share these dreams with non-TV's. We feel that only another TV (who very likely also daydreams) will understand and sympathize. Most TV's that I know (myself included) do not -repeat- do not share these dreams with our spouses.

It is surprising how much of our "true" selves comes to the fore in a TV tete-a-tete with other TV's, when there are no wives present. And this, to me, is one of the weaknesses of TV married life. This inability or reluctance (even in the case of the "A" type wife) to establish a total sharing. Our sharing is always falling just a bit short of the full measure
