Brenda Evans 1963 from "Letters From Female Impersonators" AI enhanced, enhanced and then colourised
This is an image from 1963 of a young transvestite from the USA who went by the name of Brenda Evans and who appeared in a Nutrix publication "Letters From Female Impersonators Vol 13". The original image on the left is a screen grab from a pdf of that publication which is available (along with other editions), freely, from The Digital Transgender Archive (www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/p2676v56g). I used the open source AI upscaler and enhancer Upscayl (www.upscayl.org/) to enlarge and improve the image before I used white balance in the open source image editor GIMP (www.gimp.org/). The colourisation work is all my own.
I was particularly struck with Brenda's natural beauty, maybe because it reminded me so much of myself in my younger dressing days. I wonder what lay ahead for Brenda and how her life panned out. In the unlikely event someone out there does know, I would love to hear from you.
The publication has several other pictures of Brenda, which are equally exquisite. I'll let Brenda explain herself, as this is what she said in her letter, I think you'll agree with many of her sentiments
Dear Editor:
I have been planning to write again for some time and since I have been spending the day while attired in female clothing, I thought this would be a good time to write to you. As many of your readers have so forcefully expressed, only one who is a transvestite can fully appreciate dressing up from the skin out in the deLightful sheer clothing that women wear.
One of my favorite colors has always been black and not until just recently have I had a complete black outfit. I would Like to describe the outfit I am wearing as I type this letter to you.
It is black from the skin out. I have on a black Lycra and nylon panty-corselet, size 38B, with foam falsies in the cup. A pair of size 5 nylon satin flare leg panties with lace-trimmed leg openings.
A beautiful slip size 38B, with a six inch lace hem that lets the black sheer full fashioned nylons peek through My shoes are black suede pumps with pointed toe and three—inch heels. I have on a black chiffon dress and a black wig. I am wearing long earrings and complete make-up.
I prefer Max Factor Pan Stik to some of the liquid types of make-up because you do not have to worry about spilling or getting it on your clothing. I guess it took me about two hours to complete my make-up, which included shaving my face and legs and applying nail polish to finger and toe nails.
As a matter of information, I use stainless steel razor blades which are available at most good hardware stores. They give the most comfortable shave of any blade I have ever used. It is important to have a really clean shave before putting on make-up.
I have a rather ruddy complexion and it is difficult to do a good job of covering it up. I have always practised my cross-dressing in secret behind the locked doors of my home. I have never appeared in public wearing the clothes which I so dearly love.
I have made up my mind that tonight I will take a ride in my car while I am wearing my lovely female clothing. I plan to go late, when the traffic is light, since it would be rather embarrassing to be involved in any type of accident and have to show my driver's License showing me as a man !
Also, I guess I would be carted off to jail for wearing this apparel. I realize that my looks do not compare to the professional female impersonators, such as Leila Lorin or Christina DuBois, who have appeared in the Jewel Box Revue, or to even some of the talented amateur impersonators who appear in the Nutrix Co. books, but none the less I enjoy every minute I spend in my nylon stocHngs, panties, slips, dresses, wigs and facial make-up.
I often take female clothing with me when I am on a trip but you can believe I never fail to see that any connecting doors are securely bolted before I dress up. I know there are many of your readers, who, like myself, would like to correspond. Can we get in touch with each other through you? I am sure you would benefit by arranging such correspondence.
I enjoy, and I am sure others do also, seeing their pictures in your publications. Any meetings among us would surely provide you with many more photos of female impersonators and material for your future publications. In the meantime, keep up the excellent publishing of this type of material.
Sincerely, "BRENDA EVANS"
