Hi everyone
I suggested over the last couple of weeks that a trip to Blackpool would be great for us all, we’ll it has gathered some interest now obviously any time spent outside comes with it’s apprehensions and fears and this trip is too much for now, I am now suggesting for us to get to know each other a walk in a quiet safe place and then slowly building up to a few more walks could really help our confidence before we have some time away, anyone know of any places in the North West where we could meet up and feel safe? what do you girls think? Xx

hi Penelope. this is so hard for me. inside i’m aching to just say yessss! but the other half of me is as scared as hell! I feel at the moment like there is no way I would pass and I am scared of being seen, that said it would be so nice to go outside. you can see from this reply I am kinda mixed up. to be honest, I really need to start off really basic which means go somewhere like a private garden or place where no members of the public go, I would go drab and get dressed at said place. my ideal venue as stupid as it may sound would be for a few of us to meet up at a house where no worries are attached such as being seen or the fear of being ridiculed. obviously this would be out of the question as its a trust issue and non of us really have seen or know each other properly for which, I for one, can fully understand. its nice to dream though 🙂
love and kisses, fiona xxx

Hi fiona hope you are well
I like the sound of a safe meet up we should arrange something x

What about a drab meetup somewhere? Locations are endless for those. I personally have never met another girl in the flesh and that would for a nice pre hello before arranging a GNO or other such meet up.

Hi Maria, that sounds like a plan 🙂 . I dont think i’m quite ready to go out femme as yet, but on the other hand, it would be nice to meet other like-minded people socially. I’m not saying I will never go out dressed femme, just i’m not ready yet 🙂

Hi Samantha hope you are well, I feel that this is something we need to sort out im just waiting for ideas as to where and when x

It shouldn’t be too difficult really, we need a location, activity and date.
Given this is a drab meet how important is location? Shall we start with a city, Warrington is an hours north for me, would that work?
Activity, pub lunch?
The real difficult question is do we shake hands or hug!

Hi Girls, i’m definately interested. We need to make it fair so no-one has to travel a lot more distance than someone else though. I am in Bolton, Lancashire, Warrington is about 40-50 mins away from me, which is no problem, however it might be a lot further for the other girls 🙂

Forgive the intrusion by a Yank from 4700 miles away, but I think you all have such a great idea here! I never thought of a “drab meetup” just as a get-to-know-you gathering of CDH members. So lucky you’re all within an hour’s drive of each other.
I hope you gurls can make this happen, and if you do, please, by all means, let us know by updating this Topic. I want all the descriptive details about how it went! Colour me jealous!!
- January 3, 2019 at 9:53 pm #140401
It is such a pain that I live all the way down in Somerset and you lovely girlies live up north Warrington is 3 hours and 37 minutes away from me 🙈🙈 hehe.

So! we need to arrange a date for this, what about easter time? it will give us all enough notice to arrange a venue plus the weather should be warmer by then!

oh, I live in the Midlands and work in Yorkshire. So would be up for a drab meet, as I’d never pass in public or private. I’d maybe suggest meeting at the entrance to Blackpool tower then migrating to a pub: I’d def do it!
- January 10, 2019 at 8:00 pm #142390
This is a great idea. Please keep me posted.
- January 11, 2019 at 12:42 pm #142495
Hi everyone I can see that my original post has gained quite a lot of interest, I think a meet up in our drab clothes sounds like a good idea. But why Warrington?
- January 11, 2019 at 12:46 pm #142498
Hi Penelope. warrington was just an example, if you could think of anywhere else, go for it!

Warrington was a random city just to get the suggestion ball rolling, however it seems to have stopped! I’m quite happy driving 2 hours in any direction so I don’t mind where
- January 11, 2019 at 1:18 pm #142520
Okay we should set a date if everyone can get to Warrington say Easter time in drab(boo!) and if we all get along then those who want to can arrange a meet as us girls later in the year!
- January 12, 2019 at 12:43 pm #142854
Hi Penelope, baby steps first then we get more adventurous! my drab wardrobe is DRAB! nothing interesting much! male clothes just dont interest me at all. Its a complete contrast to my femme wardrobe!

Hey, I’ve been off the forum for a bit, is this happening? This sounds like a good idea, my chances to step out en femme are few and far between but wouldn’t mind giving it a go.

Hi, it’s all gone quiet on this topic. Let’s make it happen.
- May 27, 2019 at 11:11 am #180984
I’m really disappointed that this hasn’t happened yet. Come on girls let’s all grow a pair and bite the bullet. I’m definitely game.
- May 27, 2019 at 11:35 am #181004
I live in Ireland, but, if at all possible, would happily make the effort to be at any meet up.
It would be interesting and fun to catch up with like-minded people.
Count me in!

Hi fiona great post I just need to find out who’s up for it, I can appreciate everyone’s apprehensions but if we don’t arrange something soon there will be some who’ll end up regretting this. There is a hotel in Blackpool that specialises in crossdressing guests and even has a lady that visits to do make up. Lets do this x
- May 28, 2019 at 3:57 pm #181290
I agree. I know the one you mean. There are also options in liverpool and Manchester. X
- May 28, 2019 at 10:05 pm #181354
“…. A hotel that specialises in crossdressing guests?!?!” Why couldn’t there be something like that in the States, near where I live? As I see it, you NW UK girls have no excuse, now!
I hope you do, and please update this post with a full report after the event – nosy closeted CDer in USA wants to know!

Hi Penny, how about meeting up for Manchester sparkle event in July?
- May 30, 2019 at 5:38 am #181655
Come on ladies not enough interest I’m afraid, I know we all feel nervous and scared at the prospect of stepping out in public, but we we all be supporting each other. Together we are strong… I personally would not want to be sat at home regretting that I never did it! I have been longing to go out for years now, i know I’m not the only one😁. Go on ladies you know you want to!!

Hi everyone,
Well, I have taken the plunge 😱. This afternoon I have booked a hotel room in Manchester for the Sparkle weekend. Now I am terrified.
I will have to travel and check in in drab, then spend the weekend en femme.
Should be fun, but it’s very scary.
I hope some of you can get there so we can support each other.- June 5, 2019 at 11:07 am #183084Anonymous
Sure you will have a great time. Wish I was as brave as you and could join you. Whenever I have been there in male mode the area seems very accepting. Enjoy yourself.
- June 5, 2019 at 12:29 pm #183107
Wow Fiona! That sounds amazing I’m so jealous let me know how it goes😊I’d love to join you but it’s come a bit too soon for me, I still want to head off to Blackpool in September /October though?

Well done to you, Fiona. A huge move and I hope you have an absolutely fabulous time. If I can, I’ll join you.

Sunday, 1st September anyone?
We can use the chat feature to co-ordinate times and locations.
I will 100% not be in drab, but let’s stress that dressing is as optional as you’d like to make it.
Love Laura
PS, if the Northern lasses can’t make it, I have this date available, so am more than happy to make it more Southerly – Bournemouth anyone?
They’re used to people wandering round in costume, so should be a carefree option!
