    Would love to join you as I'm in the vicinity. How is the vibe there? I know NOLA is pretty acceptiong, but just how easy is it to go out dressed there? I know a lot of people there and am wprried about being recognized.

    First, I am so jealous! I've been out in the Quarter for Halloween and it was a ball. If you go down Decatur towards the Esplanade/Frenchmens end you'll probably find crowds that are easier to manage.

    How easy is it to go out dressed in New Orleans? Well, I was there in January and I had no problems at all! The thread is at:

    http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...part-1-2-and-3

    As for worrying about being recognized? That's always a consideration when you go out in public. In the time I lived in New Orleans and went out, I was recognized three times-two of those after I walked over to the person to say hi.

    You can always say you're dressed for Halloween, which is a good excuse. But don't let worrying about the remote possibility keep you from having fun!

    very laid back and even more so on halloween.
    most people will just look at you and perhaps make a comment if they like it.
    once made up,you friends will not recognize you as they don't expect it.
    try to make it.

    I never went out dressed in NOLA since it's my hometown but one of my funniest memories is when I was walking down Decatur during Southern Decadence ( the local LGBT festival). I saw a man on a dog leash crawling on all fours down the street with a woman dressed in leather holding the leash. No one gave a second glance or batted an eye because that was probably the least-interesting thing going on at that moment

    If it was possible i sure would love to.Been there several times and love it especialy the ribs at "House of Blues" or "bubba's".From what i saw you could crossdress year around and not feel out of place there.
    If I knew where it was going to take me I probably would have put my mother's panties back.

    sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately I will be in Denver but that doesn't mean that you can't have enough fun for the both of us.

    NOLA is absolutely the *most* comfortable, accepting place on the planet, for those of us who CD, and for everyone else who does whatever works for him/her, period. By coincidence only, my very first time out in public, many years ago, was in NOLA at Halloween (there's a fantastic party at Armstrong Park every year) but I have been there as my femme self many, many times in all seasons since then, and nobody has an attitude all all -- other than "Laissez les bon temps rolle!" -- the truth is that, as Tommy Lee Jones said in "JFK," "In New Orleans nobody cares what you do, or who you do it with, they just want to know about it." You'll have the time of your life!!!

    I can't remember if I have to work that night or not. If no, I'll see about joining the crowd! I already have a costume set for Sunday night, but wouldn't mind doing something en femme that Saturday night.

    Most people on cruises believe that how you dress and how you act stays on the ship. If you dress and act with dignity, you will be accepted or at least ignored.

    I will be in in town all dressed up on Sunday. Anyone else? I could use the company - I am not familiar with the area.
    HURRY-UP, IN THE BACK SEAT!
