Following my own recipe for security I make a point of never going into this particular village accompanied by other TV's. One TV has better than a fifty-fifty chance of passing. Two TV'S cut down each other's chances in half. It may seem a selfish attitude on Susanna's part but I simply will not risk ruining a perfectly nice set-up I've built for myself in that area. If my TV friends want to go into the village by themselves, they are welcome but I won't tag along. When I go, I go alone, or with a man, or with my GG. If a TV dressed goes along for the ride . . . she stays in the car! The best clue given to Susanna as to her "passing" came from (you guessed it!) one little brat (sorry, I meant child). As I was getting out of my car in front of the laundromat in "my" village with a bagful of laundry, this little monster walks up to me and says "lady, is that the Grayson's car?" (The Grayson's sold the car to me a year ago and I use it to drive around the area for shopping purposes). I graciously (and thankfully) said yes and explained that I had bought the car from them. The brat was obviously quite pleased with himself at having recognized the car. His beady little eyes penetrated the car but did not penetrate Susanna. If you can pass "the little monster" test you are doing allright. Let this be my answer to Sheila's query in the September Femme Forum about the need to develop a method for measuring or passing effectiveness. I would also like to put in my two cents worth of comment on Karen's caper in a panel truck. Those three beers must have been potent stuff to lead her into dressing in the truck while parked in a shopping center parking lot. She should be punished by being forced to stay in masculine attire for a whole week. That'll teach her.

Gerda from Denmark spent a week-end at Casa Susanna. We enjoyed her company and exchanged interesting thoughts about international TVism. She is one of those TV's who looks TEN TIMES better in her femme-self. Her brother is just "blah". She agrees with me.

And to finish .. here's two news items I received from South America in the last few days . . . Bogota, Colombia A bull was transformed into a cow through the application of feminine hormones. The veterinarians in charge of the experiment were not actually looking for this result, all they wanted was to increase the production of meat with less feed. A group of veterinarian at the Colombian Farm Institute announced this sex
