RANSVESTIA

girl-shoes with sky-high heels. I didn't have any hope that she would be able to help, and at the time she wasn't able to suggest anything exciting. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I got a note from Virginia along with a couple of brochures about the Sorority for the Second Self, and I took both letter and brochures down to the lingerie shop with the request that they let their other FP customers see the brochures. When I went in, the assistant was there talking to a customer, so I handed her an envelope containing the letter and brochures, with the request that she look them over when she had time, and that she let the proprietress have them upon her return from vacation. Just as I was leaving she called me back and handed me a couple of business cards, saying, "This is where you can go to buy shoes." How they came to be in contact with this shoe shop I don't yet know, but on the same day I went around to have a look at the shoes. I didn't go inside, as I wanted to "case the joint" first. I could see the styles in the shop as well as in the window, and I am quite satisfied that I shall find here what I want; the styles are brisk. Upon returning home I telephoned the shoe shop and had a twenty-minute talk with a male assistant who picked up the phone. They have a salesgirl there who, I gather, has FP clients come to see her from over the border, they stock up to size 10 and will get larger, if available, when requested. The girl was busy with a customer when I called, so I left a message to let her know I would be calling to make an early monring appointment in about a month's time, when I shall be taking a week off work. When I go there I shall be wearing knee-high nylons under- neath my socks, so that it will be nice and convenient just to remove shoes and socks for trying-on. I am looking forward to my visit.

So you see, if you can get over the hurdle of taking that first step, one wonderful thing leads to another. Thre evidently are quite a number of girls and women in the business of shoes, dresses, wigs and lingerie who find it a fascinating adventure to cater to an FP. It's nice to know you are turning somebody's work into a pleasure; but best of all is the thrill of sitting in the shop with your feet encased in nylon while a charming GG fits you with those oh! so chic and gorgeous shoes. I've tried it and I know, but I had to go a long way out of town. This time I shall be at home.
