BIRTH OF BARBARA

BIRTH OF BARBARA Paul and Amy's marriage was failing until they decided to switch roles. With his mother-in-law's training, Paul becomes "Barbara" with all the normal housewife duties and dress. Excerpt: Then, one night, Amy came home and told Barbara that Harold, her boss, had invited her to go dining and dancing, in celebration of the completion of the Fall layout schedule. She said, “I don’t know why he asked, he knows I’m married.” “I think you should go, dear,” Barbara encouraged. Even Paul was surprised by his own absence of jealousy. In the old days, Paul would have been insanely jealous. Now it was a kind of naughty and fun that a man was attracted to his loving wife. Amy said, “I told Harold that I could never go out with another man while my husband's `relative' was a house guest? He told me that I should get you a date,” Amy giggled. “All expenses paid and you get a new dress!” Illustrated. TRANSVESTIA FICTION #14. Completely revised 3-2012 116 pages. IN THE PINK
