We continue to supply drag queens with size 17 heels, breast forms, Marilyn wigs, and large-size sweater sets and taffeta gowns.

Salem spotted a trend after customers at his Madison Avenue hosiery would come in and ask for things that their wives would get but in the wrong sizes. They had no place to go and had to be very discreet. That is when Salem went after the business and had things made for men in large sizes.

Wall Street Fallout Takes a Kinky Turn: To an attempt to aid Wharton College alumni who've lost their jobs on Wall Street, the college has been asking its employed grads to 'think about hiring Wharton talent.' One of these employed Wharton grads is New York entrepreneur Michael Salem, who has been successfully selling dresses, lingerie, wigs and high heels to crossdressers for almost 40 years.

'Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned here by my fellow alumni who decided to take the CEO route rather than strike out on their own,' Salem muses. 'Forget about stocks; buy stockings! Don't invest, transvest! Who needs bonds when you can buy bondage?' One thing is certain: The crossdressing market has been good to Salem, who sells his wares worldwide via http://www.michaelsalem.com/. 'One of the reasons men crossdress is to simply escape the stresses of everyday life, and God knows there is enough stress on Wall Street these days,' he explains. 'That's why I expect to see more sales to financiers in the months ahead, and yes; I will offer unemployed Wharton-graduated CEOs a discount!
