Coworker: “Hey X, how was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?”
X, aka Debby: “Yes, I had a wonderful weekend! I attended the River City Gem's Sparkle (http://www.rivercitysparkle.org/).
On Saturday afternoon, I checked into a local hotel. I got settled in my room and unpacked. I sat down at the mirror, opened up my make-up kit (Craftsman toolbox) and started to work on my eyes. After cleaning up my brows, I started to duplicate a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwjCh5nxPAE&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL136FFFA2E6AE638B)for blue eyed girls like myself. Took a long time but once I was satisfied with the look, I put on my false eyelashes. Next I moved on to the rest of my face finishing up with lip liner and lipstick and gloss. (If you have stock in MAC, it went up after this little endeavor!) :heehee:
I have a new corset (underbust steel boned) and thought that this might be a good time to try it out. I got myself into this contraption and got it laced up thanks to the advice from some friends on the Crossdressers.com website. Oh yeah, I don’t know if I mentioned this before but I am a crossdresser and we should probably talk about YOUR outfit after I finish telling you this story. :tongueout: Anyhow, I really wanted to glam it up so I attached the garter straps to the corset and put on some nude sheer thigh high stockings. Oh garters aren’t hard. I actually learned how to wear them from my Marine Corps drill instructor but back then they were called “shirt stays” and clipped on to your shirt tails and socks. Once this was done I put on my panties and bra. Yes, you have to put the panties on after the garters or using the ladies’ room becomes a major hassle. I slipped on my blue cocktail dress and managed to contort myself and get the side zipper all the way zipped-up. The dress was kind of tight on top so the forms actually came last. Sparkly blue peep toe heels were next. Finally I put on my blonde wig and dabbed on some Coach perfume. Last but not least was attaching my finger nails, a quick check in the mirror and I was ready to go. Well almost.
I bought a small metallic blue clutch to match my shoes. I think my wallet is bigger and was having a huge problem trying to figure what I could live without! After several attempts at trying to cram six pounds of stuff into a one pound bag, I looked at the clock and realized I was running late for my shift at the greeter table! Compact, lipstick, ID, cash and room key and out the door! Well one more stop at the mirror – at least in my own mind I felt beautiful! Now out the door and across the hotel grounds, tap tap tap, to the hotel ballroom.
Got some instructions and assumed my post at the registration table with one of my lovely girlfriends. We sat down, ordered a cocktail, and watched the parade of beautiful women begin. Everyone was dressed to the nines and everything from formal ball gowns to sexy dresses were worn. It was kind of like finally getting to attend the Disney Princess Party I always wanted to! :battingeyelashes: The event started so we closed up shop and went into the ballroom. It was awesome! The organizers and volunteers had outdone themselves with the lovely decorations and lighting. The theme was Pearls of the Pacific and everything had an underwater kind of feel.
I had a lovely meal and then enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment and lots of pleasant conversation. I got to meet some new friends too. There was dancing later in the evening although I felt a little constrained by the outfit I was wearing. The time just flew and the evening was over in the blink of an eye. After helping with the clean-up, a group of us went back to a friend’s room to talk and drink some wine. I went back to my room to change into something a little more comfortable and my electronic key stopped working. I went back to my friend’s room, called the front desk and had them send out a new key. No harm, now foul. Once I was finally out of that corset – fun for a little while but. . . :sad: I went back to the other room and there were about seven of us just sitting around and chatting. We pleasantly took up the rest of the evening/morning this way until it was finally time to go to bed ( or past that time!).
All in all, a very nice evening.
So, how was your weekend?”
While this story is true, unfortunately this conversation isn’t going to occur in the near future! It really was a terrific evening and with all of the cameras going, I’ll try to post some photos when I get them. I really love meeting the girls I’ve met online and was glad to see the Diablo Valley Girls and the girls from Carla’s at the event. Hopefully I’ll get to attend some of your functions now that I’m getting out more.
Cheers!
