Lee Brewster if you don't recognize her. When I think of the unliberated experiences in the tranny journey, the long road. Imagine all the years, with absolute secrecy, purloining Mom's panties, and finally finding panties or a dirty old frock in the ultimate thrift store, the trash! It is a lonely life when you are sneaking back under cover of darkness to retrieve a treasure seen earlier, a pair of discarded panties. and then .. well into adulthood, well into your 20's, after just a couple of seven and seven's at the port authority bowling alley. (I wonder if those lanes still exist) to walk over to 10 th avenue, up a few stairs.. nervous enough to tremble, and to enter.. Paradise! Lee's queendom, Lee's Mardi Gras.. I still remember the first time. greeted by the kindly proprietor an older kindly fellow, somewhat effeminate, who must have seen a thousand like me. and coming over as i could barely look at the treasures. coming over and talking with me about waist cinchers! The first moments in my life talking to another human being about my secret desires, and he fitted me for one that day, and i bought ..that's right bought! my first pair of purchsed panties, and didn't my first bra, my first shoes, and my first wig follow soon enough. Thank you Lee Brewster! for getting me started.. a little tardy but making up for it with enthusiasm.
Lee Brewster is dead now, and has been for almost a decade. His "transvestite boutique" full of drag, and wicked stories was one of my favorite places to visit. I never evolved enough to go there enfemme while he lived, and now the store doesn't exist, and perhaps doesn't need to exist the way it once did. It once was a wonderland..dare i say a fairyland! I bought Miss High Heels and other classic works in sleazy bookstores a few blocks away, and they told me that my shameful fantasies were not singular. But Lee's showed me the joy behind it. I still have a few pieces from Lee's, but that old Lady Marlene waist cincher... well it did its magic.. and then burst asunder some time later. Lee was always an optimist.
