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-Ra^ther-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":

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:

The next Carnival of the Pajamas will be December 4th, and 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 CST, Saturday, December 4th, 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

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.

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.

1 I think that is my favorite picture of you yet. ROTFLMAO!!! Oh, and Harvey? If I looked like that you can bet your sweet ass I'd shop where she does.

2 So that's what "having your butt in a sling" looks like. I'd always wondered.
