The magazine mixes content types to good advantage. Fiction, photographs, essay, letters, personals and a comic makes this a well-rounded volume in the series.


A popular spokesperson for cross-dressing, Haley Tiresius writes about some of the difficulties of coming out. She warns about the dangers of personal ads. Illustrated with photographs of the writer en femme.


A blurb describes Friday as, “One of the sexiest and most beautiful TVs we have ever had the pleasure to meet — and a nice personality as well.” Photos on eight pages show Friday in gowns and lingerie.


Words and pictures express appreciation for Pudgy Roberts, Gayle Channing, and Rene Walker. Impersonator comedians are also shown.


Pictures and text on four pages show Bobbie, and seem to work as a personal ad for him, a working T-V model. A similar presentation appears for Laura Lee, who makes an appeal for a partner.


An eight-panel comic story tells of a caught burglar whose would-be victim enforces cross-dressing as a penalty for his trespass.


Readers' Photo Adventures merge named-pictures and letters. In the letters section, correspondents tell about their experiences with cross-dressing, alone and with partners.


In classified ads, people describe their interests and the kind of person they want to meet. Illustrated with photographs.


The digital replica contains all content of the 64-page magazine including advertising.


The tonality of photographs was adjusted, shadows reduced and many specks retouched.


All new scans. Male nudity.


Despite careful work on editing color and monochrome images, not all pictures transposed well to the ebook. Some of the original photography lacks professional quality. It appears that 35mm film and cameras were used, yielding images with soft edges when enlarged to fill full-sized magazine pages. Some of the color pages could not be properly clarified for the ebook.

To compensate for these deficiencies, 20+ pages of Juanita (a she-male) and her boyfriend were added at the end of the ebook. These images show lovers deeply engaged with each other. The last pictures on the right show the models of this explicit photo set.

NOTE:
Although some parts of pictures are obscured on this page, the ebook shows everything that's in the original.
