The Pink Fog

Hannah McKnight talks about the dangers of getting too deep into our girly side:

She came across the term ‘pink fog’ which I had never heard before. It refers to someone being so…blissful of this side of them that they don’t think things through as much as they should. Like a fog, this can cloud your perspective and your thinking. It could mean that we are so in love with a pair of red stilettos that instead of doing something responsible like making a car payment we suddenly own a new pair of heels instead. Or five pairs of heels. And a new wig. And a dress.

This fog can lead to, well, let’s call them lapses of judgment. We might post a picture online, we might leave the house. If we have partners that have requested or set boundaries we may cross them. The fog can be similar to a form of drunkenness. We might make decisions that we normally would not make when sober or not in the fog. The fog, like alcohol, does not justify our decisions. We still made them.
