RANSVESTIA

model the wedding gown. I told her the pleasure had been mine because I had been the witness of events men have not usually the chance to be witnesses. I said I had been greatly interested in what I had seen and that I had never imagined a fashion show was like that.

She asked me if I liked wearing girl's clothes. I answered that it was no use for me to lie to her; that I had loved every moment I was wearing such lovely and frilly garments. Then, she told me that, when she first saw me in the gent's department, she had noticed immediately that I had girlish features such as: thin waist, long legs, small feet, narrow shoulders, long neck, small wrists and ankles. She was sure then that the gown would fit me and that I would be a nice looking bride for the fashion show.

I replied that I did not believe it in the first place, but that, when I had my makeup on, I could see she had been right in taking a chance on asking me to model the gown. She told me then, she was used to physical aspects of women and that not many of them had all the fea- tures I had. She added: "you should make a career as a female imper- sonator; you would be good at it." I told her I had never thought of it, but I could see, after this experience, that it would be possible. “If you ever consider the matter seriously," she said, "I would be glad to help you in any way."

Then she told me she had to pay me for my services as a model. I laughed and told her I did not want to be paid for it: the thrill I had with it was enough satisfaction for me. She said that, usually, the store gave, at such occasion, a dress to the girl who had been so helpful to them. She added: "I would be glad to do the same for you and I invite you to come and choose a dress, in the store, any time you want and it will be given to you, free." I thanked her for her nice gift and I said it was hard for me to accept because I would not know exactly which one would suit me and, even if I had a dress, I would not have the chance to wear it, anyway.

She said: "Now that you have found that wearing girl's clothes is possible, it could be the occasion for you to start building up a girl's wardrobe." I told her I would consider the matter and let her know in the future what I intended to do about it. I left her and she thanked me again and told me she hoped to see me again soon.
