Dear Mike: I'm a heavily closeted TV. I feel embarrassed going into a shop to buy clothes or makeup, is there any way you can help me ?

Sincerely,
Debbie, Cloister, WV


Dear Debbie, I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog, as we have clothing, wigs, cosmetics, and books at reasonable prices and we cater to the TV community. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,

Dear Mike: I've got a problem. My wife found out about my TVism yesterday, and now she left me, sold the house, mortgaged the car, cleaned out our joint account, took my Barbie Doll collection, and left me only some leftovers and that fuzzy thing that covers the toilet seat. What should I do ?

Sally, Knomb, AK


Dear Sally, I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog. Now that you're free, you'll now be able to collect a much larger wardrobe, and you can be sure we'll be here for you. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,
Mike

Dear Mike: I've got blue eyes and naturally red hair. I don't know what kind of eyeshadow to use that will bring out the color of my eyes and compliment the hair color. I think I look good with blue eyeshadow, but it's so passe' these days. Can you recommend a shade?

Jessi Colon Jung, Provo, UT


Dear Jessi, I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog. We have countless shades of eyeshadow, and an easy-to-use color chart for only $15 extra. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,
Mike

Dear Mike: I just don't know what to do, I'm now on diethylstilbesterol, bid, but I've heard that there are some bad side effects, anyway, my endocrinologist wants to switch me to premarin, but a friend of a gg friend of mine who knows this guy who's a first year resident at UMC says that I should instead be on some kind of androgen blocker like aldolactone or something. I just don't know who to believe.

Janet W., Denton, Home of Happiness


Dear Janet, I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog. You don't need hormones to get a foxy figure. Our "Tender Tips" at $39.95 (each) will give you hooters like Pamela A, and our "Round Mound" padded brief at only $79.97 will give you a killer ass. No need for those expensive and mind-altering drugs. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,
Mike

Dear Mike: Hi, I'm a pre-op TS. I'm 5'5", 125lbs, 34-24-35, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. I've been full-time for 2 years now, and I've got a new job that pays $70k per year, and I met this great guy and he's taking me to the Poconos this weekend, and I just won $15,000 from a Vanna White look-alike contest, and I was just awarded a scholarship to Columbia. I don't really need anything, I just like talking about myself.

Gina Lolaberkowitz, New Canaan, CT


Dear Gina (nice name. btw), I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog. No reason in particular, just send it. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,

Dear Mike: I'm having trouble pulling up your web page. I'm using Netscape 3.0 with Trumpet 2.2 on a P-120 with 32m RAM. When I try to bring up your catalog section, the machine locks solid, I've got to reboot. Can you do something about this?

Jennifer Ann Tedd-Stanley, Pgh PA


Dear Jennifer Ann, I suggest you send us $25 for a catalog. Then you won't have to worry about the browser locking your machine. Kindly enclose $5 extra for shipping and handling.

Fondly,
Mike
