Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Ten years ago in New York City, Miss Vera founded the only finishing school for "boys who want to be girls," and remains its stern headmistress. Much of her advice for the aspiring cross-dresser is old fashioned common sense flavored with street smarts: choose your tranny (transvestite, of course) name with some care; at minimum always have beard cover, false eyelashes, groomed eyebrows and a well-maintained wig on hand. Not only will she help aspiring girls select the perfect head of hair, she'll also point them to a wealth of information and goods to be found on the Internet. Miss Vera dishes out healthy servings of self-esteem and encouragement along with the brutal facts about high heels and hair removal, and the ethics of underwear stealing: it's ok for kids, but "adults go shopping." Miss Vera and her staff are committed to helping everyone get in touch with his or her "inner sissy," and remind us all that since "life is art," it's best lived with tolerance, creativity and flair.

5.0 out of 5 stars You must have this book!, November 21, 2002
By A Customer
How lucky we are to have Veronica Vera. She is our muse, our every-woman, full to bursting with warmth and radiant sexuality. Her wonderful book gives expression to the feminine self so many of us have fought to deny, and encourages us to explore and be happy. This is sex-positive writing at its best.

Ms. Vera offers us a humorous and intelligent book. The practical information given is mixed with her experiences of working with gender explorers of all stripes (and there are a lot of stripes out there!). The exploration of their true sexual nature and Ms. Vera's guidance not only offers encouragement, it makes a good read. And the tips are invaluable, commenting on everything from shoes to support groups (probably support hose as well).

My recommendation is that you purchase this book immediately. It will brighten your day. It will make you happy to be a woman and provide you with the inspiration to express your joy and sexuality more openly. We brighten the world when we venture forth from our over-stuffed closets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable, November 11, 2006
Simply put, Miss Vera has my dream job. Cross-dressing isn't about slapping on pancake make-up and a thrift store rag... it's about exuding class and glamour and Miss Vera provides the reader with a menagerie of resources to evolve into the quintessential ultra-femme. Viva Vera!

4.0 out of 5 stars Crossdressing for Success in many ways,, October 11, 2008
By tgfabthunderbird (York, PA United States) - See all my reviews
an intriguing book that takes us into the world of cross-dressing and transgender, by the founder of the premier finishing school.

This book does well to dispel myths about those who choose to dress and act opposite their assigned sex. In here are a number of accounts of men who explain why they feel the way they do, and what brings them in this direction.

For friends I have who have struggled with their gender, it comes down not to one's sexuality; it all comes down to how they feel about themselves, and what is right for them.

Miss Vera offers many tips of the trade, how to shop, how to find the right clothes, how to deal with those interesting male things (body hair, I think is one), and it's a fast read.

Some of the photos are interesting, to see the transformations; I'm sorry to say some of them are not that convincing, but others are very much so. You'd meet these people on the street and not know.

It will make you think...no doubt about that.
