The merchandise section of Transvestia is another excellent addition. It offers intimate apparel that some FP's might otherwise find diffi- culty in obtaining. My first impression was also, why is it so limited. I would be nice if some of the girls who are either full time, or at least have no worries of discussing Transvestism openly, could arrange for some business's who could supply by mail to FP's. They would prob- ably jump at the chance to increase their profits, and this would make it possible for FP's in all cities to purchase clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and etc.

I would like to make some personal comments which may be the type of thing that you are looking for. I feel that a follow up to the leading lady stories should be made by the girls. This brief history should in- clude things like her likes and dislikes in such things as, food, hobbies, sports, indoor and outdoor activites and etc. I think this is important because it offers each FP the opportunity of finding another with mutual interests. After all, we are all bound together by the fact that we are all FP's, but this doesn't mean that we can't form other little groups of girls one age that would enjoy getting together for a weekend of bridge. A girl who has no interest in cards for example, could find something else such as a sewing group, rather than being bored at a card game. I'm not attempting to suggest an idea that would leave any- one out, there will always be get togethers for everyone, but this is just something additional.

Another example would be girls who reflect their feelings on being accepted in the outside world. I would enjoy arranging for any inter- ested girls in the states close to Oklahoma, to come to my place for an evening or two out. WE could go to a show, club, dancing, just about anything. This would not interest any of the girls who doubt about getting out. I don't advocate going out and possibly getting into trouble with our blind society, but I so want the freedom of coming and going as I please. I feel that this would be entertaining and educational for girls in a group who feel and have confidence in their acceptability to the outside world. A much less drastic example, would be my visiting one of the girls, and finding that she enjoys sewing, she is 55 years of age and enjoys a quiet evening at home, which is fine, for this is what she enjoys. However, I'm 26 years old, and enjoy dancing the frug, listen- ing to Elvis on the stereo, mod clothes and going to football games. See my point?
