I got a late entry so I tucked it in with an update. Take a peek.

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 COTP^TM 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.

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:

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 16th, 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

1 I can't believe you actually posted that picture. I see your readership dropped off. bahahaha. And yes I've worn that exact outfit to work, so that is not an unusual outfit for me. As for me starting a blog, uhhhh. no. I'm gonna be an internet hobo. Thanks tho.

2 Contagion cracks me up. What a great outfit! As for you... I can't believe you posted another chest shot. OMG.

10 Teresa: There is nothing worn under my kilt, I assure it is all in fine working condition. Grau, That's my father you're thinking of. Although yes, I'm wearing my modern kilt.

Posted by: Contagion at October 10, 2004 12:04 PM (iZg6D)

11 Harvey - I was thinking about this after my class this morning.....with the way the flash is in the last couple pictures you posted, it reminds me of that neighbor on Tim Allen's show - you know the one where most of his face if covered all the time?!! I laughed my ass off....you should have seen where that went in this creative imagination of mine!!! ;-)

12 I'm sorry, Harvey, but I keep clicking on this pix to enlarge, and I'm just not seeing the boots, love. *grin*

Posted by: Boudicca at October 10, 2004 06:29 PM (OfXwr)

13 I'm thinking that he might be a little intimidated. What if his boots don't "measure up" to mine? I'd hate to give my blog-pappy a case of "Insole envy." :^)

16 "I'm gonna be an internet hobo" Uh, Contagion.... you DO know what happens to hobos on the internet, right??? Seriously, dude, if you can post a comment, you can blog. It's THAT simple. Talk to me. Whatcha all shy about? Anathematized - sorry I didn't get to that right away. I was away from my computer. I'll include it in next week's too, just in case someone missed it this week. ME-OW! Jacqui - I'll have you in next week, like you asked. CB - Hot pink? Hmmm... have to adjust my monitor :-) Bou - I'll see if I can get a better boot shot for you next time :-) By the way, does anyone else have any pose requests?

Posted by: Harvey at October 10, 2004 10:58 PM (ubhj8)

17 Rear shot... I want a rear shot!!! oops, make that a back shot... from the neck to the thighs. :-) Though if I see one more goodlooking male family member, I may head up to see my Husband at lunch today. Contagion, Harv, T1G, JohnnyO, ahhhhhhhhh.... You definitely have my attention. Thank you for making my day.

Posted by: Boudicca at October 11, 2004 04:14 PM (OfXwr)

21 Bou - maybe you should get your folks' pajama pictures posted. Technically, your DAD's a blogger :-)

Posted by: Not Jeff at October 12, 2004 05:58 PM (FbAVH)

23 Harvey, uhh no.. no blog for me... even though technically I have one, but that's only a joke so I can post on other peoples blogs on blogger. I like being an internet Hobo.. no place to call home, just drifting from blog to blog, site to site... It's nice and relaxing.

Posted by: contagion at October 13, 2004 08:02 AM (Q5WxB)

24 OO! What's the "technical" URL of this thing? Sure, YOU'RE relaxed. But what about ME? What about MY needs? What if I want to track you down and pummel you about the head & shoulders with crude, manhood-impugning insults just for the pleasure of having you crack right back at me twice as hard and three times as good? Curse you for harshing my mellow, vile hobo! [dials the Evil Glenn "Whack-a-'bo" hotline number]

Posted by: Harvey at October 13, 2004 11:46 PM (ubhj8)

25 dude, you have some serious issues you need to work out. I'm a selfish man, it's all about my needs!... Harshing your mellow.. WTF is that?

Posted by: contagion at October 14, 2004 07:54 AM (Q5WxB)

26 Contagion - um... I'm not sure where it originated... It's supposed to be what hippies say when you do something that messes with their groovy good times. I picked it up from Mike of Cold Fury, whose tagline is "Harshing Your Mellow Since 9/01"

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

7 I'd post a picture but A) I don't blog, 2) the fish belly white of my "keg" would scare away your readership D) I don't think anybody really wants to know what I wear, or don't wear when I'm on the net.

9 " If we want the ladies to keep tossing out the cheesecake, we have to reciprocate." I usually post bare-chested. If I post a picture of that, the women will be tossing their cookies instead.

10 Hmmmm, after my posting about my bumpies on my blog, I'm wondering if I should do a bare-chested shot....*musing* Nah...I'll just stare at Harvey and swoon - among other things.

What's the Carny O' P.J.'s?

Um... It's easier just to show you last week's.

For this week, 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.

By the way, blogdaughter Boudicca specifically requests "bare chested men in boxers". Something to think about, fellas.

Two things to notice about that title:

First, the name - which came from a suggestion by Sissy of Sisu.

Second, the "#1" - I have no idea how long the pajama meme is going to last before everyone gets sick of it, but while it lasts, it's a good excuse for people to post pictures of scantily clad women, so it can hardly be considered a BAD thing. And for those who posted ACTUAL pictures of themselves - even if it's in their not-sexiest get-ups - well, it lets your readers get to know you a little better as a person.

And THAT'S a good thing, too.

By which I mean I'm going to be hosting a second Carnival of the Pajamas next week. Thursdays aren't always good for me, so the next deadline will be noon on Saturday, October 2nd, and I'll be posting it sometime that afternoon.

Meanwhile, on with the show:

Michele of Letters From New York City shows us costumes that fit her various moods: frisky, digital brown shirt, and M-I-C-K-E-YOWZA!

Susie of Practical Penumbra says nuthin' but nightie. Hmmm... I think she misspelled "naughty".

Tammi of Road Warrior Survival shows off her camisole & boxers combo. I'd do 15 rounds with her any time.

Brian of Musings from Brian J. Noggle taught Matt Drudge everything he knows about fashion. It's all about the headgear, baby.

Teresa of Technicalities prefers a casual, comfy, relaxed look. Although she claims that she looks nothing like that picture, I recognize that wicked, crafty smirk from every word she types.

Kat of The Middle Ground comes in three varities: pre-coffee (I think she forgot her panties on this one), a little too much coffee, and before-coffee-was-invented Funicello-retro.

Sissy of Sisu plays it two ways: first, she starts off with her charmeuse (whatever the hell that is), then she slips into this eye-popping little number so she can go all night long... with her blogging.

J&C of Enviropundit shows us pretty much every outfit she owns, in addition to the one she blogs in.

Sally of Whimsy Capricious apparently dropped her webcam before she snapped her blogging attire picture. I wonder if those are silk...

Machelle of Quality Weenie shows off two of her specialized uniforms: the extra-naughty comment-party outfit, and a set of Dan Ra^ther sniper-jammies.

Margi of margilowry.com does her blogging in a T-shirt that - let's face it - we all either have, want, or at least quote on occasion.

Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice shows us a couple costumes that she wears when she's getting ready to kick someone's ass on her blog.

VW Bug of One Happy Dog Speaks... well, I'll let the picture do the speaking:

And no matter how tempted you are to try your cheesy pick-up lines on this hot little number, don't even bother, 'cuz she'll cut you down to size quicker than Lorena Bobbitt.

And finally, this is what *I* wear when I'm posting Graffiti Currency (and yes, those are MY furry size 12's poking out the bottom):
(click to enlarge)

That concludes this week's round-up. A big thanks to everyone who indulged this silly whim.

Now go check your closets and see what you can dig up for episode 2.

UPDATE 9-23-04 11:15 pm - Dana of Eat the Lettuce goes for the casual look. And if I had that baby's view, I'd have the same smile on my face.

3 Heh - love all the jammies, but I must say I think Brian's is really the coolest! Who else can beat Drudge at his own game *grin* Now Harvey, if you had included a chest shot... you may have beat out Brian. ROFL!!!

11 Sissy - if Instapundit links it, I might get more participation and then I'd have to WORK :-P Beth - "pajamas" is just a figure of speech. Any blogging attire (or lack thereof) is acceptable :-) Bou - Yeah, I know what they say, and it's all true - at least as far as YOU know ;-)
