TRANSVESTIA

some good poems, and some good fiction and some good..... how about it?

VI. YOU CAN'T PLEASE THEM ALL DEPT.: In this issue you have the first half of my trip report, next time the rest. Some of you don't think I should waste space on things not directly involved with TVia such as travel reports. But others of you tell me that these are among the most interesting material in TVia. So this report is for the latter group and the former can close the mag. when they get to page 70.

VII. DREAM 1976: I hope you will all read twice the ad for Dream 76 on page 35. It is far enough in advance for you to plan on being there. It will be an experience unlike anything you've ever had be- fore even if you are used to going out. I was there in '74, missed it last year on account of the trip and if all goes well, will be there this year. If you plan on it now you can save the money and arrange the time.

VIII. PRICE CHANGES: I am sorry to have to raise the prices of some of the merchandise that we list in the price list. But there is little else I can do. The inserts have nearly doubled in price since 1973 and the oil crisis. That makes the bras go way up, too. However, in a store yesterday, I priced some just plain bras and found a lot of them at $7.50 and $8 so we are not out of line. Foam plastic has risen about 25 percent recently so that too had to be adjusted.

IX. YOUR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE: I am thinking of putting to- gether a volume of the most useful and helpful material which has appeared in TVia over the years. Since it is never possible to evalu- ate the effects of something you have written on someone else, I am asking your help. I would appreciate your thinking back over the Virgin Views editorials (or any other articles) that have appeared in these pages over the years and that you found particularly instruc- tive or helpful to you. If you've been helped by my efforts please spend a few minutes running back over old issues and let me know what you think should be included. In this way you can pass on some of the help you've received to others who may need it.

Along these lines, is there some particular area of the cross-dress- ing phenomenon that you would like to see discussed at length? If so, let me know. If it seems interesting enough for a lot of people I'll try to get it together.
