Hi all, just wanted to announce there is a 'New Girl' event happening on March 29th to encourage anyone who's been thinking of getting out. There will be a few 'old girls' out as well, so don't let that dissuade anyone who's been out before! 😉

I'll be there as one of the hostesses, and out front of the location to welcome any newcomers as well! Freddie's is a fun and very safe place. Details and link below:

When: Friday, March 29th 7pm EDT

Where: Freddie's Beach Bar & Grill, 555 23rd St S · Arlington, VA

Who: You! 🙂

Checks diary.

Gets excited 🙂

Realises that this is NOT Arlington in Norfolk (14.5 miles) but Arlington in Virginia (3693 miles).

Checks flight costs anyway.

Excitement subsides 🙁

I hope you’ve got more than one guest room, or  @jacquelinelarkspur will need to sleep on the settee when we both visit you.

I need the bedroom as I’m too old for the settee.

Hang on, we’re the same age.

Mmmm I need a cunning plan…..

Look, if you're talking about NCDF (Norfolk Cross Dressing Festival) then @melodeescarlet and @emilyalt will be visiting at the same time as you and @jacquelinelarkspur. I'm not getting involved in the sleeping arrangements. There's a guest room, a sofa bed, a Zed Bed, a second sofa, lots of  carpeted floors and a top of the line RAB sleeping bag. You'll have to either draw straws or fight it out between you.

Oh yes, the Norfolk Cross Dressing Festival.

I nearly forgot. I must book my ticket, it’s usually a sell out.

New outfit required

The only reason it's usually a sell out is that only five tickets are available.

What, you’ve invited the entire population of Norfolk?

Yes, except Belladonna.

Not after last time.

I'm still trying to get the stains out of the carpet.

@ellyd22 I believe the usual tie-breaker is reddest hair, no? 🤔

@melodeescarlet It's based on a complex points scoring system. Hair colour is just one of the factors involved.

@ellyd22 Naturally, I wouldn't dream of questioning your knowledge on the topic! I'll have a look over the IGSAA* handbook, as I haven't read it in a while, but I'm pretty sure reddest hair is the gold standard of tie breakers. 🤔

Weren't the IGSAA discredited last year after conflicting guidance in their handbook led to half a dozen guests all claiming the rights to one upper bunk? I think it was in Bristol?

I remember reading that one thing led to another and within the hour there was a full scale riot, with widespread looting in the city centre.

To avoid this sort of thing I currently use the BLEACH Appendix (Bedtime Laws, East Anglian Cottages/Houses) in the BUST handbook*

@ellyd22 Ah, I see now. Over here we dispensed with the East Anglican version some years ago - quite outdated, really. True, there was some kerfuffle about the IGSAA's "Bristolgate," but at last year's SQUARE* Con, all parties agreed it was a miscommunication and the issue was - ahaha - put to bed. I was surprised to see you weren't in attendance, actually. 🤔

I WAS there, but I was towards the back. I came in late, and I may well have slept through that bit.

Yes, the East Anglican version IS outdated but that bit only applies to churches. You need to look at the bit on East ANGLIA *flicks through the handbook and points at the relevant section*

@ellyd22 I feel kinda good that we've highjacked my post this time instead of someone else's. Equal opportunity and all that. 🙂

NCDF?  Fantasy or reality?  And I presume inaugural event?

RAB bags are serious backcountry gear Ellie....

Fantasy at the moment. But if I ever did manage to get the four of you in my house at the same time it would be the greatest concentration of CDs that Norfolk has ever seen. I'd call it a 'Festival' even if it WAS just limited to my cottage.

I invested in a RAB bag some years ago after my existing sleeping bag proved wildly inadequate for a cold night in the Atlas Mountains 🙂

It's so comfortable that I occasionally use it even when I'm at home.

@ellyd22 For those of you scoring at home a "RAB bag" appears to be just a very fancy sleeping bag. i.e. you have to sleep with your pinkies up.

Carry on.

Melodee, that sounds like a wonderful gathering and if it were only 2000 miles closer, I'd love to go. I never hear of such get together s around my neighborhood.

Have fun!
