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:

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:

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

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:

Same rules for next week's round-up:

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):

(click to enlarge)

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:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #3 (UPDATED 10-10-04 11PM)

How many times have you stared into your overflowing closet, thinking to yourself, "I don't have a thing to wear"?

This is tragic enough when it happens right before the office Christmas party where you know your promotion rides on how well you can suck up to your boss while he's stone drunk & open to suggestion, but it could be worse.

You could have this problem right before your precious blogging time.

So as a public service from COTPTM Industries, we offer the following suggestions for the perfect blogging outfit:

UPDATE 10-10-04 11PM: Anathemetized of Cleanse the World; Rivers of Blood has her favorite blogging outfit. Naughty little kitty... actually *I'm* the naughty one - please correct my misbehavior with your precious riding crop...

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks submits this little green number that just goes to show that it's never too early to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Johnny-Oh of Closet Extremist shows off that boot he's always promising to put up my ass if I don't treat him with a little more respect. All I've got to say is... hey, girls, that thing about a man's shoe size is a myth.... Meanwhile he should have the ladies fainting with these 5 money shots.

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival has the perfect outfit for blogging on the beach. Is anybody else rooting for a stronger wind from the left side of that picture?

Teresa of Technicalities has a comfy-looking little night shirt, and... OH MY GOD! She's not wearing any pants! I just hope her office chair doesn't have a vinyl seat. Especially when she sees some of the guy pictures coming up.

Lurking blog-reader Contagion of... well, nowhere, yet, but maybe I can talk him into getting himself a soapbox, which would be cool, because then me & life-partner Graumagus would have a THIRD blogchild... breaks his silence by grabbing the cutting edge of blog-fashion with this versatile combo that's good for playing both football AND bagpipes. Possibly both at the same time...

I think Susie better sit down before she looks at this one.

(click to enlarge)

Michele of Letters From New York City proves that it's possible to simulanteously reveal nothing AND leave nothing to the imagination. She can eat with my chopsticks anytime.

That 1 Guy of Drunken Wisdom, while too shy to actually display the pictures, does provide links
to shots of his variously garbed manliness. I think the chicks will agree that excessive alcohol consumption is a shorts-worshipping girl-blogger's best friend.

CrankyBeach of Coffee With CrankyBeach wears nothing but a red tank top and a pretty smile when she blogs. Oh, and glasses. And possibly panties, but it's hard to tell from the picture if she's wearing any.

Cowboy Blob of Cowboy Blob goes old school with his one-piece Mad Jack 1850's underalls. And you GOTTA love that hat. Yet another step is taken toward bringing male headgear back into style.

I (Harvey of Bad Example) admit to a lie. I don't really wear these boots to blog. Those are my rubber-bottomed fleece-lined boots that I wear to keep my feet warm & dry in the winter while my snowblower & I engage in a tag-team cage-match-to-the-death with the fearsome combo of my driveway and Old Man Winter. However, Machelle DID ask to see a boots & shorts combo, and I DO actually wear those shorts a LOT when I blog.

(click to enlarge)

That'll do it for this week. I will say that I think the ladies owe us guys a little payback for this week's studly hair-fest. I recommend something along the lines of this:

or maybe this:

CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #2

Time to stroll around the blogosphere, peeping through virtual windows & keyholes to see what bloggers are wearing. Is it REALLY pajamas like the cranky, guilt-ridden, increasingly-unwatched, legacy-media types believe?

Mostly no, as we shall see:

Matty O'Blackfive looks dapper and thin in his pajamas & smoking jacket. Yes, quite a thin man indeed.

SarahK of Mountaineer Musings is a woman of many moods. What will her attitude be today? One can only wonder, as one gazes upon her beauty.

Teresa of Technicalities is usually a cheerful lady, but today, she's feeling a little blue. Probably because, as far as I can tell, she doesn't have a THING to wear... under her dress.

Michele of Letters From New York City has an outfit that's probably more adorable than practical. I mean, I can't imagine that it's possible to stay inside that top if you're typing more than 20 words per minute.

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival... well, if she's gonna wear something like THAT, it's a damn good thing she lives in Florida where it's nice & warm.

There's a lot of conflicting evidence about what Tiffany of Blown Fuse wears. It's either sandals, Old Navy shorts, or some sweet ass-huggin' jeans. Possibly all at once.

Pam of Pamibe must be one of those nekkid bloggers, since she proudly posts this "full-moon" shot.

As for me, well... Boudicca wanted to see boxers & bare chests, and Susie wanted to see a nightshirt. So I compromised and here we have me in a light flannel bathrobe and my Dr. Suess "Grinch" boxers. That should please everyone.

(click to enlarge)

And I apologize for the glare. Beloved Wife ain't home, and the mirror was the only way to get a shot.

That'll do it for this time around. We'll give it another week & see if the pajama meme survives the abuse.

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@charter.net.

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

Entries due by 12pm CDT, Satuday, October 9th, and I'll post the round-up Saturday afternoonish.

Final thought... Guys... I could really use more male participation. If we want the ladies to keep tossing out the cheesecake, we have to reciprocate.

Oh, and if I missed your entry, please give a holler in the comments or e-mail to harvolson-at-charter.net
