RANSVESTIA

"Well," Gref was intent. "Now we have to cover up some of the women's equipment." He went over to a cupboard, returning with a girdle, panties and a gauzy uplift bra. He put them onto the cowboy, tightening the girdle ferociously, pulling in the waist until Fennell had to cry out. He could hardly feel the other things because of the tightness of the body stocking. This wouldn't be so bad after all, he thought.

"Most impersonators wear two pairs of stockings," said Rudi, as he rolled a pair of nylons over Fennell's legs, and then attached them to the garters of the waist cinch. This time Curtis could feel the disturbing pull of them on his thighs. What do I look like now, he thought, looking over his shoulder.

Gref clipped earrings to his ears and a thick necklace over the center of his neck. Then he said, "Take a look, Rita."

At first, Fennell didn't recognize the partly-dressed woman. Then it dawned on him. This woman looking about for the mirror was him!
