RANSVESTIA

dress and found a shop catering to transvestites and female imper- sonators. Needless to say, I was overjoyed at this discovery. Now I can try on dresses and such to see if they fit before buying them. John soon had given me a whole new wardrobe and lease on life.

But, alas, it ended when he went into the hospital. Now I can only come out when he goes out of town on business, which is not very often.

There are certain things that he lets me to do express myself somewhat. These are things that any FP can do, provided he doesn't go into them whole hog. He shaves all the hair from his arms and body. He shaves his underarms and uses his wife's deodorant. She hasn't said anything about these. He has plucked his eyebrows into a definite feminine shape and is unnoticed. Once he plucked them into a very feminine shape and had to blame his barber when his wife asked if he was plucking his eyebrows. Now they are a bit fuller, but still feminine. He has not shaved his legs because this would be too noticeable. He uses a moisturizing lotion each day on his face and neck and his skin is softer and lovelier. This last is done with his wife's okay, as she thinks all men should cream their faces. He has allowed his nails to grow longer than as man and shapes them like a woman's. These are all things that any FP can do to express his feminine side.

John loves shopping for women's clothing and enjoys talking with the clerks and shoppers about this.

One time he was in Uba's Fashions in Venice trying on shoes when 3 G.G.s came in to look around. He made no effort to conceal the fact that he was wearing stockings and high heels. None of the girls paid any attention to him. He reads all of the ads for ladies clothing and buys what he sees that he likes.

Today John is happy to acknowledge that he is a femmephile, and has given me my name of Joan Marie. He thinks of himself in terms of me as much as possible. As far as female body characteristics go, the only one that he thinks he might like would be a small pair of breasts. Big enough to know they are breasts when seen naked, but not big enough to show when dressed. But this is not possible, so he has ac- quired a set of your bra inserts and jelly and I do with them. They are very good and give an excellent feel and look under clothing.
