stubbornly and probably erroneously keep right on misleading, delud- ing and confusing my readers in the hopes of making your lives as miserable, lonely, frustrated, guilt-ridden and unhappy as I can. Fortunately there are still a lot of you who are not as miserable and frustrated as you could become so there is lots of room for my dastardly and inverted sabotage, masquerading as help, to operate. "Ah ha, me proud beauties, I have you in me power now". But since I like to play fair (in spite of my hypocrisy) I have herein printed the anointed one's warning and have given you all ample warning to BEWARE OF VIRGINIA and her nefarious schemes. (I expect that with the appear- ance of this issue—the last of our 10th year of publication---subscriptions will plummet to zero as a result of this warning and maybe I can retire to my cats and my garden after all—They will understand me I'm sure.

Doubtless there are some among you who would like to write to "Pudgy" (what a name for a Queen in Shining Armor out to vanquish scoundrels seeking to remain undiscovered behind their swathing "veils of hypocrisy"). "Pudgy" sounds so fat, dumpy, common and plain certainly no name for an upstanding and wise leader of drag queens, impersonators and disaffected TVs. Since she made it emin- ently clear to me that she wanted POWER for POWERS sake and cared little for those who impeded her drive toward obtaining it, shouldn't the name be Brunhilde, Amazonia, Hitleria or such? I can understand your desire to thank her for at last showing you the light and the truth and to prostrate yourselves before her and swear undying fealty to her wisdom and judgments which are the ultimate in objec- tivity since they have not been affected in any way by either experience or knowledge. So to help you acknowledge and express your apprecia- tion for the warning should you so desire, Her Queenship's address is: Queen Pudgy Roberts

Box 71 Prince St. Station (unfortunate street, yes?)

New York, N.Y. 10012

Oh yes—and you'll probably be equally delighted to learn that Eve Browne who publishes something called "The Monthly" is a strong and faithful handmaiden to the Queen as indicated by the fact that she stopped the presses to insert a "last minute flash" which was the above quotation from the Queen and appended her signed statement that she "agreed with Pudgy". From this one can expect that she will be promoted to "Lady in Waiting to the Queen" which of course will permit some of the royal wisdom to rub off on her. So now you know where she is at too. I am sure that if any of you need any assistance in making your lives any more complicated and frustrated than they are
