RANSVESTIA

a set of long, well manicured nails and two applications of enamel in a shade close to that of her lipgloss. Sandy then proceded to apply Mitzi's makeup in a way that Mitzi had never seen before. She was constantly given tips on how to cover up unpleasant features, such as heavy beard and ruddy complexion and also how to flatter good fea- tures. None of the makeup was applied heavy and it was the first time that Mitzi did not look like she was going to walk the streets for a living. I then put on my bra and underclothes and Sandy then at- tired Mitzi in a Navy three-piece pantsuit, earrings and other jewelry.
