I'm going out en femme for the first time, but is it cosplay?
While eating out with my friends, we mentioned going to Scarborough Renaissance Festival. After my best friend, who knows about my crossdressing, said he was going to wear a kilt for fun, I casually mentioned that I was going to dress up as a woman for the fair, just for fun. The others said that's fine, but they still do not know I am a crossdresser. I know i won't feel weird or out of place because they said they have quite a few men who dress up in women's costumes.
Since I will be wearing what is technically considered a costume, does this count as going out en femme for the first time, or is it only cosplay? Either way, I am extremely thrilled that I am getting to do this, and still looking forward to the first time when I actually do go out in regular women's clothes.
