RANSVESTIA

The manager insisted on the fact that I would, if I accepted, render a great service to the store, because the fashion show was the event of the year for the store. I told him I still did not believe I could be a nice looking girl but as it would be of great help to them, I decided to ac- cept, leaving them free to change their minds if, after I had tried on the gown, it did not fit or if I looked too bad in it.
