CARNIVAL OF THE PAJAMAS #3 (UPDATED 10-10-04 11PM)

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 COTPTM 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.

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

Contagion exemplified on October 9, 2004 06:12 PM

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.

Boudicca exemplified on October 9, 2004 06:18 PM

Contagion cracks me up. What a great outfit!

As for you... I can't believe you posted another chest shot. OMG.

Machelle exemplified on October 9, 2004 07:42 PM

I can't believe you men. Where in the hell where all of you when I was single?

Damn Harvey you have set my heart a fluttering with that photo.

*sigh*
*off to pounch on hubby to release all this sexual tension harvey and Johnny-Oh have produced*

Lee Ann exemplified on October 9, 2004 10:15 PM

Woohoo Blog-granddaddy! It's no wonder my sister is my Aunt! What a fine family! Let me just say it again, Woohoo!

CrankyBeach exemplified on October 9, 2004 10:31 PM

I'll have you know, that tank top is hot pink, not red. As for the rest... I'll never tell. :) aNd txis zs wuat mt bolgging wioud leok lke if i wustn' waerign my glssaes.

Susie exemplified on October 10, 2004 12:50 AM

Thank you for the eye candy, Harv! You know how to treat the ladies...

goldie exemplified on October 10, 2004 01:26 AM

yes I agree with susie. *drool*

next week I'll have to remember to work out some jim-jams for you Harv - I've been neglecting you severely!

Teresa exemplified on October 10, 2004 10:35 AM

Hmmm - looks like the entire male side of the family are very good lookin' guys... whew yes indeed they are!

Oh yeah, Contagion - what do you wear under your kilt??? Hmmm???? *grin*

Graumagus exemplified on October 10, 2004 11:54 AM

Contagion: You were wearing the wee kilt and you didn't flash your "Packer panties"???
That's a first. Bahaha

Contagion exemplified on October 10, 2004 12:04 PM

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.

Tammi exemplified on October 10, 2004 01:55 PM

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!!! ;-)

Boudicca exemplified on October 10, 2004 06:29 PM

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

Johnny - Oh exemplified on October 10, 2004 07:05 PM

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." :^)

Anathematized1 exemplified on October 10, 2004 07:06 PM

At Boudicca's request, I humbly submit the link to my pic. (I was just going to complain and pout a lot if I wasn't included in next week's CotP since I wasn't sure if Harv got my response to his email.)

Jacqui exemplified on October 10, 2004 10:10 PM

Thanks for the pics again!

Here's one for next week:

Harvey exemplified on October 10, 2004 10:58 PM

"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?

vw bug exemplified on October 11, 2004 06:33 AM

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.

blogless brother exemplified on October 11, 2004 07:09 AM

Harv, I don't mean TO pee on your parade....O.K yeah i do, if you become an internet hobo would evil Glenn try to kill you and how would he do it??
O.K. i'll just put this one back there with my "does time have weight" theroy.

Sally exemplified on October 11, 2004 12:23 PM

"You DO know what happens to hobos on the Internet right?"

LOL! Harv, you crack me up :-)

Boudicca exemplified on October 11, 2004 04:14 PM

Was that boot shot or 'bootie' shot? *wink*

Seriously, no requests from me. I don't want to have to pay back... paybacks can suck and my folks read my blog.

Harvey exemplified on October 11, 2004 06:21 PM

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

Not Jeff exemplified on October 12, 2004 05:58 PM

I'm told by inside sources that this is how Jeff of Au fait is dressed while blogging...

contagion exemplified on October 13, 2004 08:02 AM

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.

Harvey exemplified on October 13, 2004 11:46 PM

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]

contagion exemplified on October 14, 2004 07:54 AM

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?

Harvey exemplified on October 14, 2004 05:43 PM

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"
