Define "Pink Fog"

[Danielle Gee]

Hi Girls:
I hate to label myself as a "Clueless, Senior Citizen" but I'm (relatively) new here and have heard this term used often. So here's the question " define what Pink Fog means to you. I'll begin.....

To me it's that feminine feeling I get when I'm sitting at my vanity doing my hair.... Body smooth and silky.....painted fingers and toes...smell of perfume in the air.....Jewelry and heels on.....legs crossed....taut garter straps......Dress hanging on a hanger nearby .....To me this part of the preperations is sheer nirvana!!!!:brolleyes:

Have I the right idea, or is the "Pink Fog" something completely different

Love ya all!!
Danielle

There is no set definition for it... It's different to every girl. For some, like you, it's where you feel so feminine that maybe for just a moment you forget that you're a crossdresser and believe yourself to actually BE female. For others, pink fog is when your crossdressing becomes such a significant part of your life that it begins to interfere with other aspects of your life...such as your finances, most often, or your social life.

For me, I've never had a need to use the term, so I've never had a need to define it for myself. *shrug* :)

EDIT: Now that I think about it, though, I guess my workplace *IS* a pink fog. See, back in the spring of 08 I pulled the managers aside one by one and convinced them that I had an extreme case of gynecomastia and that my doctor recommended I start wearing a bra. Doing this, I got myself a good excuse to be able to wear one at work without worrying about managers thinking badly of me. Thing is, since then, even when I've been tempted to purge, I CAN'T now because I *MUST* show up at work with my breastforms in place and my bra on, or my cover is blown. So, the crossdressing interferes with my work, so I guess that's a pink fog.

Pink fog is the overwhelming urge to do something for your femme side. Example: You go out to get a pair of workboots and along the way you see a nice scarf that you have to have and then i cute skirt, etc. You finally get home with 12 femme items and no boots and maybe no money to go back out to but them

For a GG the pink fog is.....

Being short of money because finances have been spent on everything to do with cding, a lot of the time without the GGs knowledge, until she sees a bil etc.

Being ignored because all the cder thinks about is herself and spending all the time on herself.

There's more but I'll leave at that for now :D

For me, it's when I want to stay out, or go right back out. Keep shopping, trying more stuff on... Just not stop being dressed! The last fog I was in was late Nov, out of town for business. I was out every night for 10 days, even walked through much of Valley Forge park in a skirt! Going back this coming week and can't wait! (Don't tell wifey I said that...)

See this recent thread (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122527).

My response is the same:

If you're interested in getting a GG's impression, pink fog is not the sense of happiness, wholeness, or euphoria that comes with the freedom of expression. It is the self-absorption that can accompany those feelings to the point where responsibilities and loved ones' needs are disregarded.

I don't know if it causes any hardships among the single CDs, but it has ruined relationships.

Not sure any more really. I dissipated mine with the C4.:battingeyelashes::)
