RANSVESTIA

Enough for the preliminaries. Now there are two courses you can fol- low, depending on your ability and time.

The Purist

Put your brown paper bag on the dresser, run a nice warm bath, add bath oil, enjoy slowly, dry and powder, don't at any time look in the mir- ror, not even a peek, just feel good, stretch, put on some perfume, put on a soft loose silken nightie, lipstick, still no pecking, fluff your hair, it's mod length isn't it, or if you must pull on a wig, no peeking. Put your brown paper bag on the bed. If you can't shave your legs, climb in and pull the covers over your hem, lie back, relax.

Smell your perfume? Taste your lipstick? Feel your nightgown?

You're lovely! You've done everything just like any natural woman, no primping no pinning just you, smooth soft and relaxed, let your Femme self go. Now take out your skein, and wind a nice big ball, you bought pink didn't you? Just concentrate on your knitting now cast on. You'll start slowly, probably a head-band, just knit, mind blank, relax. Stop after twenty rows and feel the material soft You've just been completely feminine for a few hours, within yourself. Don't you feel great?

so are you.

The On The Go

This is for the quick break or in between times. Kick off your shoes, loosen your tie. pick up your knitting, get involved. Don't those sensa- tions of loose, lovely, and feminine come back?

Now, after a few months, you'll be into more difficult patterns, you'll enjoy the challenge and have the warm satisfaction of accomplishing a wonderfully feminine skill, plus the enjoyment of knowing that each time you knit, you are by conditioning, completely feminine, you are you.

This isn't to say that you can't knit otherwise. It's a wonderful hobby and will lead to others such as crochet and needlepoint. If you like you can be in your prettiest dress or jeans and a top, but you'll never be more feminine than in the simple task of knit one, pearl two.
