FUN-TO-WEAR CLOTHES

Amateur and Professional impersonators alike when attending par- ties or out in public tend to wear clothing much like their female friends. The old standby of girdles, stockings, slips and bras plus either sheath or flared dresses.

Now there isn't a thing wrong with that, but don't neglect the many other wonderful fashions that are loads of fun to wear. And remember that's the name of the game "fun." If you don't enjoy wearing feminine apparel why bother?

Occasionally you may run across an impersonator who will tell you that he gets absolutely no physical enjoyment from dressing. Usually following this by saying that he's been doing it for so many years that the dresses are simply his own clothes just as his pants and suits.

Well that is one point of view, but he's missing a heck of a lot of fun. I can still remember the thrill of my first pair of nylons and how happy I was to find a nice pair of legs where all that hair used to be. And most girls will tell you the same thing.

Well, that was fun, but after 10 or 20 years of wearing nylons if you still sit there giggling then you have a problem. Sure the first thrill wears off, but it is usually replaced by a feeling of quiet satisfaction which is equally pleasant.

The same phenomenon occurs when you first dress fully and again when you finally spring for that new hairpiece but soon all these feel- ings are assimilated into your feminine personality and are still quite enjoyable. But wouldn't it be nice to capture those first thrills again?
