Hi
I posted here before about a CD party I went to organised by Kinky Closet in Glasgow. Last time I went (nervously) to an afternoon event. It's taken a while (over a year) but I finally went to an evening party and thought I should share with you girls.
I did not have any idea why I was so nervous about the the idea of a evening out at Kinky closet, but I think I do now. Despite being a cross dresser I fell into the age old stereotyping of believing my fellow CDer was actually more of a gay scene! What a dupe! What a fool! I cannot believe I actually believed the hype which I despise. Enough of this self flagellation (well on the mental level at least). Last week I decided to ignore my doubts and give it a try.
My family were away, so after dressing at home and called a taxi. I acted lady like and said little. To be honest I had a buzz off travelling en femme even before I even arrived. When I did so it was, as before, a welcome face and enthusiastic greeting. I was late, the party was in full swing. Everywhere I went there were little enclaves chatting. Some were engrossed in chat though many, most even, looked at me eagerly with approachable smiles and waves. In moments I found out why, it was a great group! A bunch of genuine people adrift on the sea of acceptance, all looking for fellow travellers who would share, at least part of the journey.
No one was exactly like me, yet everyone was. We each had our own experience of CD life and why we were there. Michelle, Paula, Petra, all different stories, different experiences. Brought together by a common notion, a similarity of differences.
It was a fun night. A night of dancing, of chat and stories. Most I talked to were like me, new to being out dressed - having fun dressed. But there was a consensus that we would return.
Of those I talked to who were not new to the club, they had the relaxed tone of folk at ease with themselves. It was a place were you were not judged by your looks, or gender, but just in the ordinary way where some people get on better with others.
I still haven't got dressed there, but from the accounts of those who did - it's a great first place to do so. They help you find your look and style. One girl I talked to had her own clothes but finally found her hair. Another was dressed top to toe in a style so her, at first I wasn't sure she wasn't a girl. Taller girls shouldn't be worried either - there were looks for all.
If you are a CDer and Glasgow is within your reach then this is a great night out. Friendly and fun - a chance to relax in a crowd that maybe you never realised you needed (or always longed for).
I highly recommend this as a place to go, feel safe and have fun!
I realise this could sound a bit like an advert, but it's not. I have only been to this place twice in a space of 15 months, but I would like to go a lot more often in the future. I need more fun in my life!
