When it comes to a girlie magazine, you can't tell what's inside by what appears on its cover or even by its name. In the case of the Selbee Leg Show Number Two, cover, the well-appointed salon in which three lovely women model hosiery and corsets while discussing the high-heeled ankle boot on the floor appears nowhere within. That enticing photograph was taken from the set by Sam Menning that provided the contents of
Submission in Satin,
Connoisseur Series, C-10.
The good news is that pretty legs appear in most pictures, usually in hosiery and heels, some of them high. With fiction, non-fiction, a leg quiz, letters and Stanton comics, there's a lot to appreciate.

Do-Gooder's Doll — short story
by Yancey Cravat
illustration by Gene Bilbrew
In this breezy urban narrative, lovely Lita impresses Raymond when he sees her check out at the newsstand. He develops a scheme to meet her and she invites him up to her apartment, where they get to know each other better.
The first-person narrator builds colorful idioms to express his admiration at first sight.
She was a gilt-edged blonde with endowments that would have rated as first-class collateral for a lease on the poshest apartment in town. Take my word for it, she had 'em in spades like this joker had never seen dealt to just one woman. And talk about wanting something so bad you can taste it — and not having a chance of even being able to lick her postage stamps for her — I felt like a little kid looking at five-dollars-a-dozcn french pastries with his nose pasted against plate glass.
But I'd really smelled this cream puff as she'd passed me on her way to the counter with her loot of girly books. What I'd caught a whiff of could've cost three figures an ounce. . . .

Men Who Wear Female Attire
by L. J. Chieco
The writer draws on the work of professionals to distinguish between transvestites and homosexuals.
As psychoanalyst Robert Lindner points out in Must You Conform? a male can have feminine traits and not necessarily be homosexual. In fact, femininity and homosexuality have no connection with each other.
The homosexual must not be confused with the transvestite," says Professor Salvador Ibanez of Mexico City. "The former hates and fears women, while the latter bears a secret resentment against the world for not having been born a female. The homosexual minces and swishes in order to convince himself that women aren't really necessary, whereas transvestites — if they do act effeminately —would find themselves at a loss if Dior were to shut up shop."
Dr. Will Erich-Wellens of Cologne, comments similarly: "A transvestite is not a homosexual. There has been much recording of incidents where fathers and husbands indulge themselves in their secret urge to wear female dress; yet their copulative desires remain focused upon their wives."
Due to the way they are brought up in our society — as to what is "masculine" and "feminine," and "right" or "normal" — a great many wives find it impossible to continue living with a husband who is a transvestite. It is beyond their ability to understand that a male can be a man in the full sense of the term, and at the same time enjoy doing, and wearing, "feminine" things. That everyone has both male and female traits, and that there exist various degrees of differences in these traits between the sexes, is something that very many people seem to be unaware of.
That's why a number of male transvestites who want to marry a second time tell their girl-friends in advance about their secret impulses. . . .
