Psychedelic 60's Dance Party - What to wear?

A few weeks ago Miss and I had our (now regular) monthly night out at TGirl Night's Saturday Dance Party. This is held at Hamburger Mary's in Long Beach (California), on the 1st Saturday of the month.

The Venue
Hamburger Mary's started in San Francisco in 1972, and is now run as a franchise with 12 locations in the US (but no longer in San Francisco, what gives? - LOL!), and one in Berlin! A new one is opening this summer, about 30 or so miles from my house. The Long Beach location that we go to is about as far away. We will definitely have to check it out when it opens. The Mary's franchises are great supporters of the LGBT community.

The Theme (or What to wear?)
This month's party had a Psychedelic 60's theme. Miss and I had an idea for the type of outfit I wanted to wear, which we were both pretty much on the same page about. We were on the hunt for a GoGo dancer outfit.

I was imagining what the style might look like in my mind based on images from television and magazines that I still can remember from back in my childhood (there were a lot of sexy outfits in sci-fi television). The above picture is a great representation of what I was envisioning with the style of dress...and yes...the boots!!!! I was hoping to find that dress style with a geometrical type pattern, more like this:

GoGo Boots
I was so hoping to pull off the '60's Mod look, and the boots were a big part of it. So off I went online to look for GoGo boots. Miss and I were adamant that they needed to be pink! And they were so crucial to the look I wanted - if I couldn't find boots I was going to have to scrap this idea and go with plan B (paisley/denim flower-child style). Did I mention that I already had pink thigh-high fishnet stockings to go with them? I soooo sooo badly needed the pink boots to work out for them :-)

But I was agonizing because I was worried about finding a large enough size. Everything I was reading and finding related to any colors other than white or black indicated that the calf size ran very small, and I do get a fair amount of leg exercise (larger calves) and I was worried there was no way they would fit. I procrastinated on my decision but ended up ordering a pair from Amazon.

For privacy concerns I had them shipped to Miss's address. When they arrived I asked her to try them on and she said they were tight on her calves. I was emotionally deflated. I asked her to bring them with her anyway, just in case... Miss was over the day before the party, I tried the boots on, and YAY - they fit!!! It was tough getting them on, but I was ecstatic when I did! And I have to add, Miss was VERY pleased with the look. I will be wearing them for her enjoyment again and again :-D

The Dress

Well, that was a lot said about boots. As far as the rest of the outfit, I spent the 3 or 4 weeks prior to the party looking for an outfit that might work at various clothing stores and online. I already had a white, black, and pink striped skirt that would have worked in my Mod style, but I never found a good top. Luckily Miss did some searching online and found a great dress which we ordered. Same as with the boots, I had it shipped to her place. And just as with the boots, I asked her to try it on. And just as with the boots - it seemed too small!!! I was doubly emotionally deflated :-( But, also as with the boots...... I tried it on when she arrived the day before the party, and as I was putting it on, yes it felt very snug...too snug, and it was REALLY short (at least to me!) But as Miss looked me over (with a very slow and devouring head-to-toe pan), with one of her sexiest smiles progressively & un-hurriedly growing even more sexy as she ever so slowly took in my look..... she gave me a resounding approval that this outfit was exactly perfect for this party!

Here is the finished product (sorry no makeup!)

Who needs modesty anyway, it's free love baby! 

So yes, short-short-SHORT dress, right? Miss made the comment that I'd be like "one of those girls" that has to constantly be pulling at the hem of her dress to keep her "modesty" - LOL! Well, that is exactly what I had to do all night, and I think Miss really got off on that! And of course there were plenty of other ladies at the party in more revealing outfits than I.

Stay tuned, there will be a part 2 to this post coming soon, about the actual party.

Take care everyone!
