Night Wear: Search and Destroy

Message Bookmarked

After finally giving in and throwing away my lovely flowery with teddy bears night shirt my mum gave me, I find myself in the position of having to sleep in whatever mings enough to not be worn Outside or in the (teehee) nothing - which isn't actually that great.

So, long pyjamas, thermals, shorts, negligees, sacking - what should I Search and what should I Destroy? Where does one shop?

I have never bought Sleeping Apparel before - how exciting this shall be!

And I do like the Paul Frank pyjamas however they seem to be EXTREMELY heavy and being a gurl of petite figure I reckon they could drown me.

Sarah, we did this already and being such free spirits decided that no nightwear is the best nightwear. Pay attention young lady!

B-b-but what would the people in the flat opposite me who I am sure are spying on me ALREADY say???

Sarah, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The would say "Nude Starry. Hmmmmmm." Or words to that effect.

In that case I am going to buy some BLOOMERS.

GORRR!

there's somethingly freudian about this slip up, but yeah, nudity rocks.

This Freudian slip (up) reminds me of DOA with Meg Ryan (and Dennis Quaid)

Sleeping naked is fine if you aren't by yourself, or you don't have a roommate. I once slept topless for some reason, probably drunkeness, and my roommate woke up the next morning and said to me, "Ally, I can see your nipple". I had a good laugh before I had to pass out again. I like to sleep in camisoles or baby t's paired with boxer shorts (summer) or super baggy sleeping pants (winter). I'm not one for nightgowns and the like, I have a million of them but they all look awful on me, they skim my good bit (stomach and waist) and emphasize my stupid thighs. I'm better off in bra and underwear than I am in a nightgown.

Girls sleeping in boxer shorts: Classic.

Girls sleeping in YOUR boxer shorts: Ultra-Classic.

Girls sleeping in YOUR boxer shorts with YOU: MEGA-Classic.

I am annoyed by the absence of nightwear which is not either embarrassingly skimpy and look-at-me-I-think-I'm-hot-even-though-I-am- flabby-and-hairy and indecent (eg minute silk nighties which cling in all the wrong places and then fail to cling in other places thus making you fall out, which I may or may not have been bought by exes, which is probably Too Much Information but I thought I should declare ownership of both kinds in the name of impartiality) or embarrassingly non-skimpy and frumpy and baggy and I-am-past-hope-and- have-abandoned-all-delusions-of-getting-laid-in-near-future tent-like (eg my Rupert the Bear style check pyjamas). What am I supposed to wear when I stay at other people's houses? Which variety of ridicule should I subject myself to? OK, not the one which involves falling out of clingy skimpy things, but then I have to look like Nora Batty or something. It's just not fair, etc. At least blokes have the boxers-and-t-shirt option, as long as they exercise due care in avoiding embarrassment variety #1 etc etc.

I should thank the Strange Fruit people on this board for my giant bright yellow Shifty Disco t-shirt that I won in an SF Oxford raffle ages ago. It's big enough to fit twenty of me in and a vile colour, so I can't possibly actually wear it as a t-shirt in public, which makes it an ideal nightdress for when it's too hot to wear my embarrassing Rupert pyjamas but when I don't want to abandon nightwear completely because I have to have the windows and curtains open to get any air in my room. But still, not very suitable for wearing when crashing on other people's sofas with nothing but a sleeping bag with a dodgy zip to protect my modesty and allow the sofa owners to retain their breakfasts.
