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Well, I am not even sure I remember how to do a post anymore, and according to the dashboard notices, I am using an outdated version of Safari and am not enjoying the full WordPress experience, but I should be able to limp through this one…I’ll warn you right off the bat, I am not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?

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.
…that Marc Jacobs is playing an evil joke on us all this season.

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!
