Last night was the unofficial kick off for our combined crossdresser club adventure in Portland Oregon. Five of us are staying at the Embassy Suites hotel in downtown Portland and met for happy hour in the lobby before heading off to the Serratto restaurant for dinner and rendezvous with a local gurl Anna. The food…
Many crossdressers will be gearing up for travel to the crossdresssing events happening in the next couple of months so I thought I would share some tricks I use to make things a bit easier. One of the goals is to avoid embarrassing disasters like one of your breast forms bouncing down the conveyor onto the baggage carousel for everyone’s entertainment. No, that did not happen but easily could have so I was lucky because I had them in a draw string bag.
Hearing politicians being addressed as the honorable this or that got me to thinking. With all the lies I hear coming from both sides do they deserve that title? Its a non partisan issue so I’m not getting political here and I do have a point to make. Most every crossdresser I have met over the years is what I would describe as an honorable crossdresser and deserving of that title.
o say that my crossdressing has evolved is definitely an understatement from decades ago only going to places where we met in back rooms of restaurants to today fully out in public. I now go out pretty much anyplace any time like this week in Las Vegas. My crossdressing comfort level has reached the point where I go out to dinner and shows in public often by myself. Last night my crossdressing destination was Ferraro’s Italian restaurant located just east of the Strip. I have been there many times and always been treated very well.
I have said in previous posts that I don’t often go out on Sundays dressed but like last month there are exceptions. This month is another one because after the Christmas party I needed a post crossdressing downshift. Our club Christmas party is a dressy affair and most of us wear formals that require special accessories to complete the look. It is not an understatement to say we are geared up all year long looking for that perfect gown to wear. Regardless of when you find it the project continues with jewelry, shoes, hair and anything else that comes to mind. It’s no time to think about any sort of crossdressing downshift.
Mature Christmas Crossdressing arrived again this year with the club party taking place a week earlier than usual. Not to worry as all of us pretty much are ready just counting the days as planning and shopping are a year long event. Gowns, jewelry, shoes, and everything else is ready to go and we are all warmed up after the traditional Friday B4.
Speaking strictly of crossdressing as an activity and not the overall trans umbrella concept this holiday weekend got me thinking about traveling. I think most of us crossdressers obviously enjoy the activity and think of it as fun. Anticipation is a big part of that fun for me so a crossdressing plan helps the process
The party started at 9 PM when the doors to the Troy Bar opened for business and the ladies of TG Rocktober sashayed into the balcony. I made a quick trip to the ladies room to get it out of the way before the crowd arrived. When I got to the balcony entrance I showed security my wristband and they showed me in. The music across the street was beating away providing the party vibe for the night.
Saturday is the final day of TG Rocktober and the climax of the event is the Troy Bar party overlooking Freemont street from the private balcony. The only TGR event planned during the day is the afternoon trip to the Bellagio for a group photo then on to downtown for the big party at the Troy nightclub.
The only official TGR 2024 event item scheduled for Friday was a photo shoot with a professional photographer which I was not interested in doing. That left me a leisurely day with plenty of time to get ready for dinner which I was very much looking forward to for a couple of reasons. The first was I had reservations for 4 at 7 PM at Bistecca Steakhouse located in the Tuscany hotel.
