I had a very comfortable evening out at a nearby friend's place with another couple who know I cross dress. I wore jeggings and ankle boots with a short hippy type dress covered by a long rain court on the way there and back. Just a short walk and dark, I don't think we passed anyone. It felt very good and most of the time i was relaxed and only occasionally thought about what I was wearing. The previous afternoon I saw a flyer advertising a LGBTQ ball in February at our local concert hall. The Lavender cafe orchestra play the dance music and even teach the steps. I am fantasising about going, how great it would feel dancing in a glamorous dress and being with other people - maybe some CDers? However if I did that would really mean coming out - I would not pass as a woman and I would be recognised - its a smallish place.
My wife is very supportive but I aren't sure she would be keen, especially as it is so local. We do have gay and lesbian friends, should I ask if they are going and then go with a group for that feeling of support?
Cheers
