It knows when my pay day is.
It makes me look for sales on women's clothes.
It knows when I have money left on my credit card.
It knows what I'm thinking when I see a lady all dressed up.
It knows if you have gender concerns.
It knows if you haven't dressed up.
It's ready to pounce..lol.
Ohh it's payday Friday. BBL I need to make a list.
Guilty, sooo guilty your honor. But I feel much better and this web site is my light house with my wife as the co capti with me in the wheel house.
Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.

Pink fog? No problem. I'm instrument rated.
Sometimes those feelings are so intense that you don't end up in a Pink Fog.....instead, you find you have landed on Planet Pink. If you find yourself there, then I'm afraid you're screwed. You ain't gonna get home without your bank account or credit card taking a severe beating.

[SIZE="2"]Fog makes everything look (and feel) beautiful – it obscures everything just-so in a soft haze, putting visible atmosphere between you and IT, whatever it may be. I always used to welcome the fog rolling in, and I would go out and look at the same old things which were now completely transformed, as if by magic...Originally Posted by Marleena
In a similar vein, pink fog makes the drab seem beautiful, or it signals a need to transform into something (or someone) more beautiful – the “fog” pushes the male aside and clouds the issue of gender in a positive way. I always let the fog overwhelm me – not to do so is a crime...[/SIZE]
[SIZE="2"]The PINK fog is coming, so let it envelop you! There’s nothing to be afraid of, my dears... [/SIZE]Any advice or warning for new members?
Pink Fog Blues
by Annabelle Larousse
You're struttin' your stuff, girl
Down at the mall
And you know you're headin'
Straight for a fall
The SA is smilin' as she ushers you in
Cuz that ole Pink Fog done got ya again
When I hear you sighin'
And I hear you cryin'
"Go for it, baby,
There's nothin' to lose!"
You'll soon be singin'
Them Pink Fog Blues!
When you just gotta have
That cute little skirt
(Sure it's on sale, ain't it?
What can it hurt?)
The wife's gonna tell ya what a sucker you've been
Cuz that ole Pink Fog done got ya again
When I hear you sighin'
And I hear you cryin'
"Go for it, baby,
There's nothin' to lose!"
You'll soon be singin'
Them Pink Fog Blues!
Satin and ruffles
Short dress and heels
Don't gotta tell you
How luscious it feels
Don't know the diff'rence between sweetness and sin
Cuz that ole Pink Fog done got ya again
When I hear you sighin'
And I hear you cryin'
"Go for it, baby,
There's nothin' to lose!"
You'll soon be singin'
Them Pink Fog Blues!
Oh, yeah,
You'll soon be singin'
Them Pink Fog Blues!
CD available through the usual outlets!
Thank you! (Curtsey)
I embrace it .......but in a conservative way....

I don't think it takes very long for the CD to realize that he dosen't really want to be a woman, why ruin the fantasy with reality, UGH! If you're TS the fantasy slowly eats away at your soul until you have to make it your reality.
Annabelle, I can hear Frank Sinatra singing Those Pink Fog Blues!!
Marleena,
Now that you've opened up this can of worms, as a public service feature to all your fellow CDer's here, you clearly need to follow this up with a thread containing a series of Jeff Foxworthy-style warnings and/or observations along the lines of "You might be a crossdresser experiencing the pink fog if..."
I was thinking of this thread today- had to drive 150 miles each way for work, only to wait for someone who never showed up. So, with all this extra time, I started thinking hmmm, there's a mall just down the road, with Macys, Penneys, Forever 21, . . . But I thought "Beware of the Pink Fog" over and over in my head and was good, just had lunch at the same mall at BJ's, got in my car, drove home, finished the rest of my work, and saved my money. So, original poster, THANK YOU for saving my wallet and being responsible. But what could have been . . .
My advice would be to say that once you cross the line and "step out there" or get your way that it is not all what its cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong, I like doing it a lot.
Its like when you hear somebody say, I will be happy once I get money or I will be happy once I retire. You are trying so hard to get "there" and once you get there you will find that its not always worth sacrificing everything you have to get it. I went out last month for my 2nd time and it was all good but it didn't feel like there were any big fireworks. It was just a good time. Will I do it again? Yes I will but I will give lots of consideration to my SO.
FOG..... I'll tell ya about FOG...... I've been walkin' around in it all my life...... It wasn't until it turned PINK, that I gained any clarity.
I'm very thankful for the "PINK FOG".
Annabelle, If I knew the tune you put that to, I would dig out the old National and tune it up. Can I find it on Amazon? No not Frank, it's the blues, not pop.
As far as dealing with the pink fog, after much practice, and many badpouchess, I've learned a trick not to fall in the trap. I leave my wallet in the car, go in and window shop, after a few hours, the fog lifts, and in a few days if I still think it's something I want or need, then go back and get it, and run back out before the fog sets in.
When not shopping, like Frédérique, I love the pink fog!

I don't mind when the pink fog rolls in I seem to feel better and have more fun .Of course i whatch my budget (have to ) there is nothing better than coming home with a nice outfit whether on sale or not .Or makeup or hose or panties ok i will stop now the fog is rolling in
I have a hubcap diamond star halo
Wow, an awesome range of input. After many phases of CDing, for me it is now about stepping into a female role and trying to pull it off, and it's down to about twice a year. I always go to a transformation service for a makeover, try to dress age appropriate, and try to blend in. The Pink Fog is a real danger, and I have thought about things that would be disastrous if they went wrong, but have managed to avoid them. I have learned to accept that CDing is a part of me, but I won't risk the rest of my life for it.
You forgot, "Your milage may vary"!
Love Helen
