The Christmas Party for our local crossdressing club is the highlight of the year for all the members of the club.
The party is dress to impress time from elegant dresses and skirt suits to formal gowns. This year one of the other members of our group gave me a beautiful coctail dress.
We usually make it an entire weekend event. This year we stayed at the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel. The view from our room.
On Friday night we went to a very high end restaurant in the Long Beach area. The place was very noisy and crowded and the food was not that good. We won't return there.
Saturday we went to an outdoor restaurant for breakfast.
The evening starts with club sponsored cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the bar of the restaurant. The venue is a popular mainstream long Beach restaurant so we are mingling with the general public. It is never a problem and attracts a bit of attention as we are better dressed than most patrons. Wine and more hors d'oeuvres await downstairs in our semi private lounge room where the picture was taken. Around eight or eight thirty we sit for dinner and desert until about 11:30 when the night officially ends. Some of the girl's continue at a nearby bar, but Susan and I head back to the hotel.
On Sunday we headed home and stopped at IHOP for lunch.
