Is cross-dressing acceptable for this larp?[/quote]

[size=150]cross-dessing should be mantatory in every larp.[/size][/quote]

I didn’t really see much of cross-dressing, in fact, I’m not sure I’ve seen any. On one of Mordavia day games there was a character of which I think I’ve heard later said it was a cross-dress… But can’t recall anything particular. Anyone remembers any other examples?

However, this question arises from time to time, so I assume people take it rather serious (as serious as you can be about cross-dressing :unamused: ).

If anyone here has this experience - would you please be willing to share it?

PS: the definition of cross-dressing here will be “the gender of your character is different from your OOC gender” :wink:

When you’re crew or GM you’re almost always going to be cross-dressing every time you play.

#3

i seem to recall tigger as a nun…

#4

Don’t forgot the Valkyries… :open_mouth:

#5

no forget the Valkyries . . . . please :open_mouth:

#6

Ah, of course! I now even recall someone (Sir Michael, I think) telling me “This mother superior is very tall, isn’t she?” giggle

What are those Valkyries? What larp was it? Doesn’t ring any bell with me…

#7

I played a hermaphrodite. 'Nuff said. Actually, no - the story that the name ‘hermaphrodite’ comes from is gross. Never mind.

Was that the one where he was in a chainmail bikini?

Not quite x-dressing, I did fill in for an absent (meant to be male) vampire in a vampire hunt. The scenario was 2 vampires after the same ‘maiden in distress’. Said maiden was vey amused as I ended up competing against her OOC boyfriend for her affections!

It really confused the adventuring party too…

So the chainmail bikini was once a real thing? I always used to think it’s just a turn of speech :confused: which people just like to mention…

#11

Oh yes, the chainmail bikinis were real. My eyes!!! Aieeee!

You’ve still got a picture or pictures?
Can you forward it (them) to me? Mine were lost when my computer commited suicide.

#14

I don’t think you ever even uploaded it to here…

#15

Oooh, me too please.

Its strange, I’ve cross dressed for parties and for Armageddon but haven’t had the chance to do it in a larp yet. Well, I guess its something to put on my to-do-in-larp list.

#16

Gosh, you should do it as soon as possible! You look very cute in mini-skirt!

#17

I would for a game but only if I had a character concept that ABSOLUTELY called for me being female and I was TOTALY attached to the idea of playing said character.

Like, coming pregnant to Ravenholme?

I’ve never been comfortable with cross-dressing or being done-up like a girl, railing against those who would attempt to get me to do as such.
I find that encountering cross-dressing unsettles me a bit. I can’t see it being done well beyond pantomime.
