RA RANSVESTIA

inches above my knees, but the bloomers were another matter, needing taking in both at the waist and about the legs. Uba told me to take off the bloomers, so that she could do the alterations while I waited. With just my rubber san panty on underneath, I was a bit embarrassed, and besides, I could hear that other customers had come into the shop; Uba, however, simply reassured me, "Don't worry, Dear. I've seen how men are made, before, don't you know?"

And, in just a little while, between serving the new customers, she had the elastics in the waist and legs of the bloomers suitably shortened, and brought them back to me in the fitting room. The fit was exact: how delightful it was to feel that soft satin of those rayon bloomers caress my thighs above the garter welts of my stockings.

As any other transvestite could confirm, it was certainly a disap- pointment for me to have to take off my newly acquired things, put on my mundane men's street clothes, and return to the hot pavements of summertime Los Angeles.

The next time that I have the opportunity to visit Uba's, I'll be careful to plan things so that I'm wearing a "body briefer," a light all- in-one that won't show through my skirt, with of course, a rubber sanitary panty underneath, and some long stockings gartered up already, beneath my men's trousers. Then, I'll feel more comfortable during my fittings.

With great anticipation, I wait my next visit to Uba's, for more additions to my small wardrobe. The environment she provides us is warm, friendly and of course, with sensitive understanding of our needs.

THOUGHT

I'm awfully glad that a girl and boy Dress differently, because what fun

Would being female be for him,

If he couldn't dress like one?
