We’re baaaaaack….
Well, I am not even sure I remember how to do a post anymore, and according to the dashboard notices, I am using an outdated version of Safari and am not enjoying the full WordPress experience, but I should be able to limp through this one…I’ll warn you right off the bat, I am not feeling very funny or inspired, but I’ll do the best I can.
I have just conducted some research on the Pajama Jean for you. It seems that many people have been lured into this sordid fashion disaster! I imagine these people also own snuggies.
If you google “pajama jeans” you will find a lot of sites selling them, like HSN, the Pajama Jean parent company (PajamaGram, of course) and the website associated with the infomercial, PajamaJeans.com. (Be very careful going to this website; there is noise, and someone nearby might think you are actually purchasing these!) But you will also find a number of “style” blogs celebrating them, and even a few “fan” websites posing transparently as impartial reviewers. They often have comments from other customers saying things like “Pajama jeans are seriously my new found love! I can pair these jeans with a sexy top and wear it out at the club to get my drink on and then come home and pass out in them!” Like, who doesn’t want that? Maybe they could have a version with a built-in diaper so you didn’t have to wake up from your drunken stupor to use the bathroom. Another one of the reviews said “Sadly, the smooth butt-lifting design is not available in men’s sizes.” Interesting…I was not aware “butt-lifting” was a feature desired in men’s jeans.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about PajamaJeans is what pops up when you Google search for images of them. Mainly, you get all kinds of pictures of people who have been let loose in public their real pajamas, or even worse, people who would have been better off if they had just left their pajamas on that day…
For anyone seriously considering the Pajama Jean, I have one piece of advice: go to Target and use your $39.95+ shipping & handling to purchase one pair of real jeans AND one pair of sweatpants, and then trouble yourself to change into the appropriate pair when you leave the house. If that sounds like too much work, by all means, wear whatever you want while you wallow lazily in your slothiness. (I invented that word. I guess PajamaJeans have inspired me after all!)
Also, since we haven’t blogged in about a year, we have probably all but disappeared from the blogosphere, so here’s a shameless plug: these people are funny…check out heir blog The Steel Closet.
And I’ll leave you with one final thought…what does one wear under pajama jeans?
Carmen are discussing. 
Emilily, and 
So, here’s my new cut and color. The color on the box was Marilyn Monroe blonde. The color on my head is Emily Hawkins light brown/dark blonde. Clearly, one of the perils of color in a box; I just gave about 117 of my hair follicles cancer for no point. The cut is probably going to grow on me…I trust Spencer, but he went way shorter than I expected. Lucky for me, the 80′s are coming back in, so my new asymmetrical style will be super on trend. Maybe. Either way, I got carded twice last night, so I’m feeling pretty good about it so far.
Guess what I’m doing tonight!
I usually like simple, clean, modern lines in jewelry, but for some reason I am really attracted to these pieces by M.C.L. Matthew Campbell Laurenza (on Gilt today.) They’re beyond gaudy, and even worse, designed by an incredibly snooty looking man whose biography actually includes such lines as “…influenced by his family’s collections of art and antiques, Matthew started flexing his creative muscles at a very early age. As a child, he had the impressive ability to produce artistic sculptures…” Sculptures, really? wow.
When I did a quick web search to see where one might purchase these beauties, I found another stunning pair, made out of hand-painted silk and 18-karat gold, for only $27,945.
Seems a little more reasonable when you consider someone paid $72.8 million for Rothko’s Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose. I wonder if anyone pointed out to them that they could have had 2,605 pairs of Mai Lamore Rose petal shoes instead.
Dylan and I went on a run the other day, and I decided to sport some of the paraphernalia! D looked like he was considering asking me to run ten paces behind him, but then thought better of it, probably cause I looked so kick-ass.
I know you are as interested as I am in looking as beautiful as we do FOREVER, so I thought I’d share this with you.
So here are the products I got from the Lucky Magazine contest I won. Not a lot of stuff, but hey – it was free! High five!
Also, the product is pretty gentle on my (ultra-sensitive) skin, and based on the ingredient list, is probably edible as well. However, I tend to question anything that lists Acai berry as an active ingredient. My experience with those lousy acai berry scammers has left a foul taste in my mouth for anyone who has jumped on this snake-oil bandwagon.
Not to be gross, but I usually pull the little blonde hairs off my toes every time I do my toenails. So I don’t see the point in wearing sandles that make it look like your foot has run off and mated with a mountain goat.

I cannot even express how thrilled I am in this moment.

The picture of the tight denim shorts is hilarious. I’d love to buy my boyfriend some as a gag gift!
