my own breasts that bounced when I walk. The long line now fits snug so it doesn't pull down and the cups are wired to keep them in place. One more thing I want to say and that is that I added nipples to the inserts and under a sweater they look so natural. Pass this on to the other girls if you want. I used some "plastic goop" from the children's "Thing Maker" set and made a form out of foil. Then I poured some goop into the forms and carefully heated it with a torch until it hardened. Using the natural color it's next best to the real thing.

Transvestia and The Transvestite and His Wife have helped me to understand myself a little better and enlightened me on many things I didn't know before. Thank you.

Editor's Note: This is an old letter of Laura's and is therefore several years out of date, but it is timeless in its sincerity and genuine feeling (I know Laura) and seems fitting for inclusion in TVia.

Dear Cathy:

Your most welcome letter arrived only this evening and I am truly sorry that it was too late to see you in Akron-doubly so because I have business commitments that require occasional trips there and could easily have scheduled them to suit.

I can find no record of Cathy in TVia or Femmemirror, so surmise that you are still rather new to FPE? Not that I am more than a near-novice-having been a member for less than a year, but what a wonderful and thrilling time it has been! I have been an FP all of my life, but one whose insufferable male ego has fought to keep the feminine component secretive and alone for decades. Luckily, I stumbled on Transvestia & Virginia and ultimately found FPE-which has come to be the most meaningful thing in my femme life, not only because it provides a means of communication with kindred souls, but also because of the many heart-warming friendships I have found among the FPE's.
