CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #10 - LATE ENTRIES (UPDATED 12-12-04 11:20PM)

Missed a few:

Joe of Joe Huffman has his spiffy T-shirt. Please note the gun-oriented logo on the chest. Also note whose blog is showing on the computer. Bonus for Joe!

Sally of Whimsy Capricious is too shy to actually post this picture (which I'll bet is actually her), so I'll do it for her, since she sent me the link:

What I wouldn't give to be her elf.

UPDATE: 12-12-04 11:20pm

David of Third World Country shows off the manliest bit of manliness I've ever seen. I feel inadequate. I'm gonna go grab some Enzyte now.

Ogre of Ogre's Politics & Views was too shy to post a picture of himself indulging his pirate fetish. Good thing I'm not:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #10: THE FINAL CHAPTER

It's with a heavy heart that I close out the Carnival of the Pajamas series, but when it gets to the point where even Dan Rather dons pajamas in a useless attempt to rescue his sunken career, you're looking at an ex-meme.

However, let's have one last round of dead-horse whackin' before we call the glue factory. The following folks have appeared for your amusement in their blogging finery:

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks maxed out her credit card so she could be the best-dressed blogger in the 'sphere. I'm not answering the door for a while, just in case it's her husband coming to axe-murder me.

Margi of Margilowry.com shows off an outfit that REALLY is too small for her. Looks cozy, though.

Teresa of Technicalities sure is dressing light for a woman living in the frozen north. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. And - pure speculation, here - I'm betting she's not wearing any underwear in that shot.

Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice sports a little something that only a Florida girl can get away with wearing this time of year. I'm just wondering how she keeps the sand out of her keyboard. Bou also has another link to something that I'm sure every woman would like to wear, just not in front of their husbands.

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival... gubba... hubba... heeba... um... it's a visual.

That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom goes for the Milblogger look. If you're into sweaty guys in uniform, you'll LOVE this one.

I (Harvey of Bad Example) will now show you what to wear for your Halloween blogging:

(click to enlarge)

I'm on the right. My evil twin on the left is Brian O., one of my best Navy buddies for the first two years of my enlistment. I lost track of him after that because we got assigned to different ships. This was taken in October of '86 during our stint at Naval Nuclear Power School in Orlando.

See? I wasn't ALWAYS the bad boy ;-)

Well, that does it for the Carnival of the Pajamas. Time to give this meme a decent burial and move on to something more tasteful.

Like bathroom blogging.

Oh, and finally, I'd like to thank Wicked Weasel Bikinis for being the best blogging apparel I've ever seen.

Wicked Weasel, for when you don't - technically - want to run around naked.

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #10

Dear Dr. Dee,

I have a closet full of clothes, but feel like I have nothing to wear. I go shopping and buy cute stuff, but end up wearing it only once or twice. How can I shop more efficiently?

Signed,

Clothes Horse

Dear Clothes Horse,

You need to clear out your closet, get organized, and follow a few simple rules.

1. If you haven't worn an item in 3 years, give it away.

2. Organize your closet so that all the jackets hang together in one section; all the skirts in another, and all the tops in a third section, all the dresses in another section, etc.

3. If you buy a new item, it must coordinate with at least three other items. For example, a top must go with a skirt, pants, and cardigan.

4. Don't take price tags off until you've actually about to wear the item. Keep the receipt attached to the item or in its pocket if it has one.

5. If you've bought a new item and haven't worn it in 2 weeks, take it back.

If you follow these rules, you'll have a closet full of clothes that you'll want to wear.

Your other option, of course, is to just wear all those cute outfits, have your picture taken in them, and post it on your blog so that you can enter the Carnival of the Pajamas, which is what I suspect happened to the following people:

Owen of Boots & Sabers has a picture of the perfect blogging outfit, even though (thankfully) it's not him wearing it (or so he claims) - a glow-in-the-dark, battery-operated thong (picture moderately NSFW). Looks to me like someone's been giving her Mach3Turbo a good workout. Wish *I* could get a shave that close...

Another entrant in the cross-dressing section, Physics Geek appears to favor this saucy little number, modeled by Julia Roberts. I think someone needs to turn the air conditioning down a bit.

Having a Victor/Victoria moment of her own, VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks claims to want to wear this manly item. Probably referring more to the contents than the covering, I'd wager.

Goldie of Drama Queen likes to show a little Christmas spirit when she blogs, as evidenced by this eye-popper of a blogskin. Ah, the advantages of having Christmas in summer.

Ok, you're in North Carolina, it's hot, and the air conditioner just broke down. Yet you still have scads of blogging to do. What DO you wear? I don't know either, but I'll bet whatever it is contains more material than this scanty item pointed out by Tiffany of Blown Fuse.

Teresa of Technicalities - living a little further north than Tiffany - thinks the most important thing is staying warm. After getting a peek at this robe, I have to agree that it DOES *ahem* seem a little warm in here.

Not so much WHAT to wear as WHERE to wear it. Bill of INDC Journal takes a poke at the "in a bathroom with a modem" meme. Flush twice, it's a long way to CBS.

I (Harvey of Bad Example) tend to agree with Teresa on the importance of maintaining a certain base level of average random kinetic energy in one's body, especially around the extremities:

(click to enlarge)

Yeah, they're Beloved Wife's slippers. I just didn't want Owen, PG, & Bug to feel awkward about displaying their... repressed inclinations.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Kind of a good news/bad news thing. I'm closing down the Carnival of the Pajamas. Partly it's because the "pajama" meme has become less hip & trendy with the defeat of the Blue Falcon on November 2nd. The other part is that I'll be judging in the ressurrected King of the Blogs Tournament - which should start up shortly after Nick completes his finals - and I'll need my Saturdays free to work on that.

Also, participation is down a bit due to the upcoming Kwanzaa holiday, and I don't want people to have to face the guilt of choosing between posting sexy pictures and shopping for their loved ones.

The GOOD news is that there WILL be a COTP #10 next Saturday. One last hurrah to give the project a fond farewell. If you've ever thought about posting a picture of yourself that you'll probably regret later, this gives you the perfect excuse.

I'm thinking something like this would be fine:

For the final Carnival of the Pajamas, the same rules apply:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #8

I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.
-Gilda Radner

It's also fair advice for choosing blogging apparel. Because if you're gonna be taking down some aging hack of a news anchor, you need something comfy and pajamas are the perfect gear.

But what about other projects? Let's take a look around the 'sphere & see what makes fashion sense for writing about non-Rather-related topics:

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks has the perfect outfit for those conflicted moments when she can't decide between blogging about a firefight in Iraq and blogging about her recent suntanning trip to a warm Florida beach with this body-armor bikini.

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival has just the outfit for blogging about the Chicago Bears. Judging by the number of other people in the frame, I'm guessing that this is the start of the 4th quarter.

Pam of Pamibe blogs while wearing purest white, which, I assume, means that she's turned on the Grail-shaped beacon again. I've got a spanking with your name on it, Pam.

Just in time for hunting season, Teresa of Technicalities has JUST the outfit for posting on how to properly stalk, kill, dress, and skin a polar bear.

Finally, I (Harvey of Bad Example) reveal what I wear when I write those Love Note entries. Here I am taking an "inspiration break":

(click to enlarge)

Oh, and if any of you ladies are going to write on the topic of blogger ettiquette, may I suggest that this little number might fit the "rule enforcement" theme:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #7

After spending a week in Jamaica, I barely even remember HOW to blog, much less how to dress for it, however, the rest of the blogosphere is NOT similarly afflicted, so the following folks demonstrate the meaning of "proper blogging attire":

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival thinks she knows how to dress for northern winter weather. Here's a hint sweetie - you wear that top number and you'll freeze your belly-button ring off. Better stick with that hot little Amish outfit (I didn't know they were allowed to have necklines THAT low!)

Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice has a little hair-control problem, but otherwise looking sweet in her blogging dayware. Just watch out for those big green guys who can't tell the difference between "hug" and "SMASH!"

Jeff of Au Fait wears the most uncomfortable outfit imaginable when he blogs, i.e. an ENTIRE FREAKIN' SAILBOAT! I hear those things tend to ride up in the back, which has got to be about a 9.5 on the Wedgie Scale.

Oh, and if you're a dolphin, then FLEE! FLEE FOR YOUR VERY LIFE! *SQUEEEEEE!*

Almost Tabitha of Blown Fuse prefers something more cozy, like this sweater & ice-cream-cake combo. Happy Birthday!

As for me, (Harvey of Bad Example) I had this one taken... let's just call it "a while ago", and... well, I didn't know there was a camera around. Anyway, I still think it's fairly comfortable blogwear. You'll probably want to click the picture so you can see the uncropped version ;-)

Finally my suggestion for the ladies next time: follow this woman and shop wherever she does.

hussy-3.jpg

Does The Gap have a Hussywear department?

Anyway, same rules for next week:

Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson-at-charter.net.

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #6

Dressing up in costumes,
Playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops
Shouting out rude names

- Peter Gabriel

That sums up blogging pretty well, I'd say.

Of course, I don't have much in the way of tree-tops or other arboreal splendor around here, but COSTUMES...

That I can do:

Tiffany of Blown Fuse has trouble choosing between schoolmarmish and sweatergirlish. I don't care which one, as long as I get to stay after class.

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks can't stop bragging about the gorgeous Florida weather. Warmth & sunshine & low-80's temps that let her get away with wearing this form-fitting little number while Northern folk like me are setting fire to our keyboards just trying to stay warm.

Matty O'Blackfive must do his tanning at the same place as John Kerry, or else I'm otherwise lost at explaining his freakish skin tone. And judging by the teeth, I'd say he's got a little hillbilly in the family tree.

Sally of Whimsy Capricious was too busy fending off attacks from her dapper-dwarf neighbors to actually post the picture herself, but she DID show me where she bought her outfit. Suddenly I'm thinking that letting women in the Navy wasn't such a bad move after all.

Teresa of Technicalities is sporting firey red silkies this week. I'm obsessed with undoing that top button.

Anathematized1 of Rivers of Blood is wearing... well... I'm not really sure. It kinda looks like she just finished some sort of kinky 4-way with the Blue Man Group, but I could be wrong.

Contagion of... um... nowhere yet... insists that despite the rigid pole and comely wenches, there is NO symbolism in this picture:

(click to enlarge)

Pam of Pamibe shows off her son-in-law, who - I suspect - has been to one too many Alice Cooper shows.

Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice has both her and her husband taking the red pill. Who can argue with black leather? Although I can't for the life of me understand the need to wear sunglasses indoors.

Eric of Straight White Guy proves all three quite handily by showing off his brief stint as a millionaire playboy.

Didja ever notice that women always seem to go to the bathroom in groups? That's just weird. Why don't they do FUN things in groups, like... well, YOU know... *AHEM*... Anyway, Tammi of Road Warrior Survival shows us that blogging can be a fun group activity, too. If you dress for it.

Although she's a little shy about posting her own picture, RWS of Right Wing Sparkle hesitates not a moment to reveal the looks of myself, Matty O'Blackfive, Greyhawk of Mudville, Andrew Sullivan, and Jeff of Protein Wisdom. (If you have trouble seeing the pictures, try hitting "refresh". Or just click on the vertical lines)

Father O'Johnny of Closet Extremist gets ready to hear your confessions.

I (Harvey of Bad Example) am going to the sunny shores of Jamaica next week, so I thought I'd try on the swimsuit I bought the last time I was down there:

(click to enlarge)

Whether it still fits, I leave for the reader to decide.

Johnny-Oh's entry made me realize that the ladies need to help us indulge our Catholic school girl fetishes next time:

Since I'm going on vacation, the next Carnival of the Pajamas will be posted on November 20th, but the same rules apply:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #5

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, neck tie (neck tie),
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

-ZZ Top

Well, the girls ain't gonna be runnin' very fast to THIS blog, because the Carnival of the Pajamas is all about the sloppy, comfy (and occasionally sexy) articles of clothing that drape one's body while blogging. The Legacy Media thinks it's all about the pajamas. Some folks have other ideas:

Not Tiffany of Blown Fuse, though. She's wearing ACTUAL pajamas. At least on the bottom. You can find out for yourself what's going on topside. As for the extra sleeve?... well, I have heard that blogging causes spontaneous limb growth in laboratory animals.

Back when he used to be a woman, the Bartender of Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon used to make his OWN blogging attire from ordinary household objects. Is it just me, or is Lincoln actually smiling in that picture?

RWS of Rightwingsparkle seems to be having some hosting issues with her picture, so I left a link to it buried in her comments. She might have it updated at some point. Speaking of points, mine is that, while I don't have her ability to pack a pair of jeans, I do have the same T-shirt. Except the bottom line of mine says "Reddi Wip".

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks has the shot we've all been waiting for. Legs! Legs! Legs!... um... I mean... she models this comfy-looking shorts & top combo. I must admit that I was very surprised to discover that she's a Vorlon.

As for me (Harvey of Bad Example), well, I like blogging in my shorts & T-shirt, but sometimes it just gets a little warm in the ol' computer room, so Mr. Shirt needs to come off:

(click to enlarge)

By the way, that thing on my left arm is NOT some sort of freaky tattoo that I picked up while stone drunk in a Bangkok whorehouse. That's a left-over from Beloved Wife's enthusiastic follow-through on the racquetball court.

Either that, or it was punishment for not getting the dishes done in a timely manner. I kinda forget which.

Anyway, next time, I'd like the ladies to admit that they actually wear stuff like this when they blog:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #4

Time once again for a look at the fashions making a splash around the blogosphere. I hear Donald Trump is firing people for screwing up projects like this, so I better do a good job.

Jacqui of Enviropundit shows off her belly-dancing street cred with this number. Stick around after the Carnival, she'll be telling fortunes in that little tent over there.

Anathematized1 of Cleanse the World; Rivers of Blood had this one in last week. It got it in late, so I'm making it up to her by including it again. Besides, I have a thing for kitties with riding crops.

Teresa of Technicalities would probably claim that this little black number is NOT a metaphor for light B & D. Teresa would be wrong. Meanwhile, someone hand me a pair of scissors.

Jeff of Au Fait is kickin' it old school with a bit of retro cowboy cool. I must admit, he looks good in stubble, in a "Fistful of Dollars" kinda way. Note to Michael Moore - when you're over 300 pounds, stubble just makes you look like a hobo.

And we all know what happens to hobos in the blogosphere, right?

Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice does a little cross-dressing... not that there's anything WRONG with that... Nope. Nothing wrong at all.

Goldie of Drama Queen says that she'd wear this little bit of nearly nothin' with glee. May I suggest wearing it with some Reddi-Wip instead?

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival is actually wearing pajamas to the Carnival of the Pajamas. Girl, that's just weird!

Finally, I (Harvey of Bad Example) have a picture of what I sit on while I'm blogging (hope this doesn't look TOO washed-out. I had to boost the gamma so you could see the legs):

Maybe next week I'll show you the chair. Anyway, Bug, does THAT make you happy?

And I'm gonna have to get those shorts in a larger size. That waistband was miserably tight.

Anyway, speaking of next week, my general request for the ladies is something along these lines:

For next week, the same rules apply:

Post a picture of yourself (or a professional model whose picture you copied off some web page - like I'd know the difference anyway) in your favorite blogging attire. Leave a permalink in the comments to this post, send a trackback, or e-mail the link directly to me at harvolson-at-charter.net.

If you have trouble hosting images, you can send me the picture, and I'll post it for you, along with your description.

If you don't have a blog, but you're feeling particularly creative, same as above.

Entries due by 12pm CDT, Saturday, October 23rd, and I'll post the round-up Saturday afternoonish.

And if I missed your entry, give a holler in the comments or to harvolson-at-charter.net
