The point is, if you think anyone may be interested, let them write me through CONTACT. I'm certainly not looking to start any kind of a profit making business, but would be happy to oblige any other would-be narcissists for the cost of mailing. (This can be done in a tube to avoid the wrinkles.)

And now, the real reason for why. I came up with this method to make a large size pic of me so that I could try my hand at another of my brother's talents, namely painting. Anyone so inclined will find it easier to do a self portrait from a largish print. Again I'll be happy to oblige. I'm kinda hepped up on the project, because it's the first real thing I've tried a la femme that extends beyond doing dishes and a little mending. My GG is extremely skeptical, but after I get done massacring my own face in oils, and get the long lost touch back, I'm going to do one of her.

Wasn't it simply awful that Flip Wilson's "Geraldine" was picked as one of the worst dressed by some fashion fop? If she isn't one of us, she certainly ought to be. You know, one advantage of being black, no ugly, grey shadow. Anyhoo, I think Flip ought to have an honorary membership in FPE.

Best regards, Jennifer 21-N-2

Dear Virginia,

Here are a couple of things for what they are worth.

My legs are not all I would like them to be, they are too thin, with hollows on the insides between my ankles and knees, so I decided to see if I could do something to remedy the situation. I went downtown and bought some art foam, strips of very thin foam rubber, peach color. I think cut four strips for each leg. The largest strip 131⁄2" long by 4" wide, and each succeeding strip 1/2" shorter and narrower; I then got some foam rubber cement and cemented them together.

After they are placed on my legs in the hollows, I put on a very thin coat of leg makeup on pads and legs, they work out not too badly at all, at least the legs look fuller and rounder and with darker shade ny- lons, they are nearly undetectable.
