I don’t want to assume too much but feel pretty comfortable saying that every crossdresser dreams of wearing a formal gown. Unfortunately formal crossdressing opportunities to wear one are very rare which is why I felt it needed to be addressed. Along with my friend Paulette we decided to put together a formal event for crossdressers and their wives. With that La Bella 2024 was born in April of 2024 and was a great success. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much we decided to do it again a little later on May 3rd of 2025.
Sadly Paulette had something come up last minute and could not attend La Bella 2025 after working on it all year. It was a huge disappointment for her and she was greatly missed.
A sizable portion of La Bella attendees come from outside of the Long Beach area so stay in hotels nearby. That leaves Friday night open for fun on what we call the Friday B4 which last year was formally organized. This year everyone just went their own way rendezvousing back at the Marriott lobby bar. It was a more casual than formal crossdressing but 2 structured nights in a row wouldn’t work. Friday B4 get togethers are popular because they are a great opportunity to meet other crossdressers and chat in a relaxed environment.
FORMAL CROSSDRESSING LA BELLA 2025
Besides loving formal crossdressing photos in gowns and other outfits are a high priority. I grabbed my friend Sherri before everyone left the Friday B4 get together. She has been behind the camera on most of my photos lately and we are getting better at it. This year we have hired a professional photographer for La Bella 2025 which I regretted not doing last year. Formal crossdressing is too important and involves so much work good quality photo’s are a must. I did not want to worry about getting enough photos of the right stuff.
Everyone behaved themselves by not staying out late which tells me that they are taking formal crossdressing seriously. Nobody wants to deal with eye bags on the big night of the year so got their beauty sleep. La Bella 2025 is less than 24 hours away and everyone is dreaming of it tonight.
