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:

(already full size, don't bother clicking)

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:

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:

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.

4 I'm always so easily confused. Is 12am Saturday the midnight between Friday and Saturday, or is the the one between Saturday and Sunday?

This Saturday's Carnival of the Pajamas will be the last one ever, so if you ever needed an excuse to post a compromising picture of yourself, you'll never get a better one.

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:

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:

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'm also waiting for a home for it. I may start it on my own site and move it once Pixy gets time to create a site for it. Hopefully this time it will endure. I need a commisioner for it. Anyone interested?
