A ball is like a party over here, just fueled by more sex and drugs, but slightly less rock 'n roll.
You really should try going to one - they'll have special brit nights over your way - i can sense your urge to cross dress. The desire is clear from your line of questioning.
I looked it up on the internet and "fancy dress ball" is a costume party. is that it?
Originally posted by Red NightCostume party is a bit different, it tends to involve bouts of nakedness whilst outfits are swapped. It's traditional to go home with someone elses partner and make love to them all night too. The internet reference you found might not describe that part, it's a british tradition though.

We call those key parties or swapping parties here in the US but they usually don't involve cross-dressing.
Originally posted by Red NightThat's because you don't know how to party over there - i bet your key parties are optional even. I reckon you'll easily find one (edit - a brit costume party that is) local and bet you can't wait to give at a bash. Am sure you'll enjoy it when you do.
