The cover characterizes the publication as “The Original Magazine for Men Who Enjoy Dressing Like Women!” The Editorial says . . . .

It is, I must say, an act of love more than anything else that keeps this show going. Knowing how much good a publication like this does for the thousands of readers in the United States and now Europe, and knowing how many of you out there have a desire to dress, or just have a strong fascination for those who do, makes our efforts very worthwhile and rewarding.

It is a wonderful experience for me when someone sends in something as simple as a letter expressing all of their pent-up desires and frustrations and asks for my help and advice. It touches me deeply, because I do understand and I do my best to help. . . .

We must all work together to bring a clearer understanding of the needs and desires of all of us, whether transsexual, transvestite, female impersonator or professional, or those who just are curious about our way of life. . . .

Letters to the Editor

I have been a TV for as long as I can remember, but it has only been during the last two years that I have really found my self-confidence. I first went out "dressed" a little over a year ago. Much to my delight, I found that I pass quite easily, and have encountered no troubles so far. My great pleasure is to dress up and head to a shopping mall or to a downtown department store and spend a few hours browsing, trying on clothes, and building up my wardrobe. The hours spend in this way are always enjoyable.

My goal when dressed is to appear as an attractive young professional or career woman. In this respect I try to avoid flashy clothes or an overdone or "whory" look. I spend a lot of time preparing for each of my adventures and feel a great sense of accomplishment when I pass unnoticed, although I certainly enjoy the occasional admiring glance.

How To Get a Good Photograph of Yourself
by Linda Lee

The photography session is the place for any make-up tricks that make you look your best, but remember that the camera eye is even more critical than the human eye, and anything overdone or badly done will be obvious in a clear photo, perhaps more than in person, because the moment is frozen forever.

Interview with America's Most In-Tune Couple

Wife Georgia talks about her husband and her husband en femme as Mary Louise.

GEORGIA: . . . my husband decided to completely cross-dress after we'd been married for about ten or eleven years, and at that point, one of the things I felt was that it was necessary as a sexual stimulant. I thought maybe our life together had just gotten to that stage of being monotonous or boring, or whatever.

MARY LOUISE: For me, it is not a sexual turn-on to be dressed. I've grown out of that. When I dress completely, we have these friends and we go out together, and it's a little more palatable. I can be somebody else; I don't have to be a businessman. I even think I'm somebody else. I react like the woman I think I should be and I feel good about it. . . .

GEORGIA: When Mary Louise started dressing about three or four years ago, the first year or two was terrible. She knew what she wanted to do, but she didn't know how to do it. Growing up with the use of makeup myself, I was surprised that my husband didn't know certain very elementary things that I thought everybody knew. Things like blending the eye shadow, and how to put on lipstick.

MARY LOUISE: It began almost thirteen years ago. One of the first things we discussed after we had gotten married was the business of wearing stockings. She made a remark about my being so crazy about stockings that it was too bad that I couldn't wear them myself. That was the opening.

GEORGIA: My husband confided to me that he'd like to do that. So there was the fetish situation at that point. It was a fetish for stockings and shoes. It went like that for years. It was sexually exciting at that point, and I kind of felt like whatever is between a husband and wife is okay. Even though I thought it was a little strange, it didn't seem all that strange, and it was, after all, sexually stimulating. If my husband needed that, so be it. It was private, between the two of us. . . .
