MAGAZINE TITLE : Repartee - A4 full colour glossy paperback

GENERIC MAGAZINE REVIEW : This is the numero uno UK TG magazine, and it is highly recomended. The quality of the contributions, pictures, layout and production keeps improving with every edition. The magazine always features events, reports & reviews with photo reportage from around the UK and the occasional overseas event or holiday destination. There are always articles on fashion and you will find that the Repartee girls like a little - fantasy, fetish and costume. What you won't find is explicit sexual content with displays of genitalia - though you will find a contact section that includes both "soul sisters" and "raunchy ravers".

Regular Features

Photo Features
There are always four or five unique photo features

It must be said that the magazine tends to ere towards the crossdressing end of the transgender scale rather than the transsexual. I have always seen this as a statistic rather than a statement of intent. It should be remembered that this magazine grew from Rose's Group which is one of the strongest support groups in the UK and also that the magazine and Bella Jay have been the movers and shakers that have created the worlds best anual transgender celebration "Sparkle" in Manchester. (with all due respect to Kim Angel)

Congratulations on the 60th Edition
