Where are my breasts? **Where are my breasts?**42What an extraordinary document! I have spent all morningreading this notebook and I can hardly believe that I wasever the person who wrote those demented pages. I'vebeen debating whether or not to show them to my wife but Ithink, all in all, it's better to let the dead past bury its dead.As it is, neither of us ever mentions the period in which Iwas a woman and except for my agent, Miss Van Allen, wedeliberately avoid seeing anyone who knew me in thosedays. For over three years now we have been living in theSan Fernando Valley on what they call a ranch but isactually just a few acres of date palms and lemon trees.The house is modern with every convenience and I havejust built an outdoor barbecue pit which is much admired bythe neighbors, many of whom are personalities in showbusiness or otherwise work in some capacity or another inthe Industry. Ours is a friendly community, with many finepeople to share interests with. At present I am writing aseries, currently in its second year on ABC. I would ofcourse like very much to do feature films but they are notthat easy to come by. Miss Van Allen, however, keepssubmitting my name so who knows when lightning willstrike? Meanwhile, the series is a good credit and I makegood money. While cleaning out the attic, I came acrossthis notebook along with all the manuscripts I wrote back in
