Thoughts for Company

The Snuggie being backless and open and all, I used to struggle every single day with deciding what to wear underneath it when it came time to leave the privacy of my home office/sound laboratory and venture out to the grocery store, the park, the gym, the city’s finest dining establishments, etc.

Everyone has been so blinded by the wonders of the Snuggie since its debut that there is rarely mention of its curse - that the rest of one’s wardrobe is essentially rendered useless once it enters your life.  After all, what regular item of clothing could compete with that big, beautiful blanket with sleeves?  Nothing could do the Snuggie justice.  It’s just so comfortable, so versatile - and, most importantly, so stylish.  (What do you think yours truly wore to yesterday’s Super Bowl party?)

It’s not as though one could realistically go commando under there.  It’s still the middle of winter (despite what you hear about Vancouver hosting the 2010 Olympic “Spring” Games).  And let’s face it - no one wants this peep show, even if it’s free.

So, for your own good (and the good of those around you), I beseech thee - please send me PajamaJeans.

Hey, it worked last time with the Snuggie…

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of participating in the latest cultural phenomenon, I highly recommend that you take the next two minutes to educate yourself:

Now, in the interest of upholding journalistic integrity, I must reserve judgment until I have actually donned a pair of these hideous bottoms myself.

They’re only $39.95 + $5.00 shipping and handling - but wait, there’s more!  They’ll throw in a 100% brushed cotton t-shirt too?  As if they hadn’t already convinced me…

I only wish I had blogged about this 6-8 weeks ago, as that’s how long it takes for the life-changing garment to ship.  What’s a girl to do until then?!

PS I’m an XS.
