Sheery in pink Wolford Neon and OW Collection Dress

It is probably no surprise or really even a secret that I’ve always been drawn to the color fuscia. It’s bright, sexy, feminine and something I never dare to wear as me in male-mode. It’s also no secret that I’ve pushed for Wolford to bring back that gorgeous shade for their Neon 40 tights. That was nearly TEN YEARS AGO and guess what? They did bring it back for sale but I never caught on to it until way too late. Damn you Wolford!

However, there are those savvy sellers on eBay that know rare shades of Neon 40 can become collectors items. Then they stock up and sell these at collector item prices for crossdressers, errr, people like me. So of course I shelled out more than I should have for a pair (actually TWO pairs, you know, just in case the other pair rips). Anyway I tell the story about that purchase in a previous post.

Slipping into those brand new fuscia Wolford Neon 40 tights was like a dream come true and, WOW, they really are bright! The only thing, though, was that I didn’t have anything to go with bright fuscia tights. No lingerie, bodysuits, dresses, ok well a matching lipstick shade I do have but nothing else. So then I thought why not just celebrate my Wolford Neon win by getting a lovely dress and heels matching in the same color if at all possible.

That it was!

Over the course of the next month or so, I kept my eye out for anything that caught it. First I randomly stumbled on a pair of heels I immediately fell in love with… and even in that perfect shade of fuscia I was after. These 14cm (5.5 in) stilettos are from Le Silla and were even more stunning when I took them out of their box and slipped (and stumbled) into them. They are TOO TALL as well. Definitely the tallest pair in my arsenal of stilettos.

And, not to mention, they perfectly matched the shade of fuscia on the Neon 40 tights. Now we’re getting somewhere!

Wolford Neon 40 tights in Electric Pink shade

Not news that I love Wolford Neon 40 tights. OK let’s move on… I’ve always been obsessed with those fuscia Neon 40 tights ever since I saw them, hold on, ten years ago. Of course I gave up my search for them probably nine years and 11 months ago but I swore back then that if I ever come across a pair in whatever state it was in, I’m buying it, whatever the price.

While randomly browsing around, I happened to find Wolford tights for sale on Amazon, but the German site. Amazon does carry Wolford tights and other items (which is no surprise), however, the German version happened to have shades of Neon 40 that were not available anywhere as far as I knew. Yet further browsing around, I noticed there was an “Electric Pink” color available to buy which quickly got my attention.

Electric Pink = Fuscia? It kind of sounded like it to me but I had to find out. Could these be the fuscia tights of my dream?

Well, I happened to remember writing about those lovely fuscia tights some time ago (link above) so I dug back into the archives in this website to find that article for an image of that fuscia shade. Then I noticed that the article happened to be from ten years ago almost to the day. There was some weird time warp prophecy going on here.

With my love of anything fuscia colored then rekindled, it was time to dig deeper…

Fuscia Wolford Neon 40 Tights

It looks like we already have a winner for pantyhose of the year! In my opinion that is.

With my morning coffee in hand and browsing the pantyhose pages (errr, news), I came across an absolutely gorgeous pair of pink shiny legs at Art of Gloss. That shine is easily recognizable as my coveted Wolford Neon 40 tights (of course there is the label) but the color is something I have never ever seen available: a stunning fuscia.

Of course, I had a look at the availability at the Wolford online store and even did a thorough search on eBay. Nothing.

Later,I tried an exhaustive search on Google. Nada.
