A Quick History of CHIC...
CHIC was formed in 1978, by a group of Los Angeles-area crossdressers,
who saw the need for a special kind of sorority. Many of our members are
in high-profile occupations, and care deeply for their wives' and childrens'
feelings. The "outing" of a member might complicate the member's
relationship with his employees/employer/relatives/neighbors.
So we formed a club which has security as an important concern. We have
guidelines for membership which protect our members' privacy. Members refer
to each other by their femme names only, and usually only one or two members
(the initial interviewer of each new member, and the Membership Secretary),
know or have access to any member's male information. Guests are not allowed
at meetings without PRIOR board approval. Please click on the "Joining
CHIC " selector for more information on our requirements.
As a result of our precautions, CHIC can offer a relaxing venue where
our members can enjoy the companionship of other crossdressers/wives/significant
others. Our meetings occur on the second Saturday of each month.
We meet at a variety of locations, including restaurants, clubs and private
homes. If we are meeting in a public restaurant/club, we generally reserve
a private banquet room, with a separate entrance from the general public.
And we require that the room have access to private restroom facilities.
Many of our members have no difficulty meeting in a completely public setting.
However, since some of our members/wives do, we usually defer to
our more cautious members' tastes.
