RANSVESTIA

helped fix me up. First came the bra and some padding. Next they gave me a girdle to put on and a pair of stockings. After I had put on the girdle I then smoothed out the nylons. This gave me a feeling that I never had before as this was the first time I had ever had on a girdle. Then came the slip. Next was the dress which belonged to the neighbor. Now the only things missing were the wig and makeup. As wigs were not the fashion then I had to do with a scarf on my head. Finally came theke- up. Then we proceeded to go out on the town. I was treated like a girl for the first time in my life. We visited a bar where my girl friend and I were well known and no one recognized me. The deception was so good that several guys danced with me without knowing who I was. The funny part about it all was the fact that during the day I worked with these same guys back at the camp.

One day while visitng my girl friend (now my wife) she suggested that I dress and see what her little niece, who lived with them would say. After getting dressed I then reappeared and my little niece looked at me and when she recognized who I was she said "Uncle, no, Aunt Bill." Everyone thought this was really funny.

However, a couple of German men didn't know me so they asked me to dance. One of them, whom I must admit was a good dancer, kept calling me Sweetheart until one of the girls clued him in to the gag. Being a good sport he went along with it and kept up the pre- tense. However, the other guy had a little too much to drink and he be- came quite a pest and telling me that he loved me and when he tried to kiss me that was too much. I was infuriated and slugged him. The girls came to my rescue and smoothed things over by talling him that I was a married woman and after that he left me alone. All in all it was a wonderful evening.

A few days later on Sunday we started to town to see the parade. My wife's sister remembered the year before when we had gone out as four girls with a neighbor so that this time after some discussion it was decided that I would go along as a girl. So once again out came the bra, girdle, stockings, slip and dress. The girls proceeded to fix me up. For the first time I was able to wear high heels. The neighbor woman had some that fit so they got me to wear them. I felt ten feet high. The neighbors
