The first 29 pages of the magazine feature the pretty cover model and the text he's written about his desire to be womanly. The remaining pages consist of an album of various transvestite and transsexual posers, most of whom appear in undies or stage costume.


In his own words, he explains the gender duality of his life —

If you saw me on the street, you would never guess that I like to dress up in women's attire and live the life of a woman. I look like any other young guy walking down the street when I'm not dressed up. . . .

But when I get home, I sit down before my mirror and begin the task of applying my makeup. It is a transformation you have to see to believe. . . . makeup and clothes are only a small part of it. When I change my looks, I somehow begin to change the way I feel and the way I act as well.

As I apply my lipstick and my eye shadow and my false eyelashes, I begin to take on the mannerisms of a woman. . . . Something comes over me I can't quite describe. I don't do it to please anyone or turn anyone on. I do it totally for myself. To please me. Sometimes I take hours to transform myself, but it's all pleasure.

I take great pride in the way I look, and I want everything to be perfect down to the last detail. I do my face first and the change, as you can tell from the pictures, is surprising and unbelievable.

Sometimes that's all that's needed to make me believe it myself. Then comes the hair. I keep my own hair just long enough. . . . Then comes the clothes.

I have always been fortunate to have a slim, trim frame. So I've never had the problem of cinching in the flab or putting on a girdle to hide an obvious male girth. I have the frame of a small woman. . . .

Once I put on nylons or silk panties I really begin to feel it coming over me. A burning within. The feel of nylon next to my most sensitive areas turns me on automatically, and I have to work at it to cinch my cock down so that it's unnoticeable beneath my panties.

I can remember my first encounters with female clothing as a teenager . . . . when I was home alone, I would go into my sisters' bedroom and try on their clothing. This would all be done quickly of course, as I was always afraid they'd return and discover me. But as time went on, I got more and more daring. I even went out into the backyard of our house and wore their panties, high heels, and can-cans . . . .

I do remember my first stirrings were in my sisters' underthings and heels. Gawd, I remember how those strapless white heels made my calves stand out and how the feel of nylon and silk made my cock so hard I thought it was going to bust. . . .

. . . . I have set goals for myself and fully expect to realize them. And I am prepared to take the consequences. I know that it is not an easy path I have chosen to take. . . .

I hope that I can write about my physical change from male to female as I have written about my mental and cosmetic change. And I hope that this magazine asks me to relate my experiences in a year's time . . . . I promise you, there will be much to tell. And I will be the one to tell it to you. As I will truly be a lady by choice . . . .

Pictures show a male to female progression, beginning with the application of make-up. There's no wig; it's his own hair. He forms a convincing female presence in a bikini set or in panties, tights and platform sandals with chunky heels. He also poses in a glittery gown.


It's likely pictures were taken in his home, as many scenes show cluttered cosmetics and clothing. A professional photographer achieved clear images with few unpleasant shadows.
