Flannel PJ’s For Chicks: Y/N?

March 23, 2008

picture-0231.jpgEveryone loves a 3-day weekend, but for this one I was under the weather.

Don’t shed any tears for me yet, ’cause here’s an accompanying fact: I’ve been wearing flannel PJ’s for 72-hours straight (yup, that’s me on a Sunday evening, modeling my ”Winnie-the-Pooh PJ’s”.  Now normally I don’t shy away from a “face-shot”, but not when I’m crusty and snot-covered, hell-frickin’ no…)

It was a glorious time in the flannel, and as the weekend progressed, it came to my attention that flannel PJ’s more than make up for being sick.  I’m not kidding, if I was only allowed to wear flannel PJ’s whlist under the “sicko status”, I would dive into a pool of disease-ridden drool on a regular basis, if only to catch a bunch of colds and earn some more ”flannel time”.

That’s a pretty bold statement to make, and while I’m fully committed to abusing my noble white-blood-cells, something occurs to me:

-Why do I have to be sick to wear flannel PJ’s?

Well…I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t ONLY wear flannel PJ’s when I’m sick, I wear them a lot.  But here’s the thing: I feel kind of wrong/dowdy/ugly, whenever I wear flannel PJ’s “sans disease”.

I don’t aspire to feel this way, but I’ve heard a lot of negative smack-talk on the ”chicks + flannel” concept, and it leaves me a little torn.

If you don’t know what I mean, here’s an excerpt from a recent conversation with a heterosexual male:

——————————————————–

Romi: “I can’t wait to go home and change into my Disney flannel PJ’s, they’re so comfy.”

Male: “Romi, please tell me you do NOT wear big frumpy flannel around the house. How do you expect to get a guy when you’re wearing flannel PJ’s at night?”

Romi: “What the hell is wrong with flannel PJ’s? They’re cute! And I WOULD wear them to bed if I had a boyfriend!”

Male: “No wonder you’re single; just remember, it should be sexy lingerie in bed, or nothing at all.  Good luck.”

——————————————————-

Hmm…

Now I’m not ANTI-lingerie, but a hundred-percent ban on flannel? 

That’s troubling.

So as you can imagine, this conversation left me feeling ponderous (and never mind about that “heterosexual male”, it’s just some man-slut I know)…

After taking some time to think, I’ve decided that Man-Slut is wrong on the following counts:

-Flannel PJ’s are perfectly okay for sexy good times, ’cause they’re loose and roomy.  Translation: the naughty bits are easily accessible.

 -Flannel PJ’s are soft, and I’m pretty sure that softness is synonymous with sensuality (or at least they both start with “s”…).

-Even if sex is not on the agenda, flannel PJ’s are a welcome addition to the girlfriend/boyfriend bed.  Why, you ask? Because they’re “cuddle-licious”!  Like even if a dude is NOT a big cuddler by nature, the fuzziness of flannel is irresistible to him.  It’s akin to being back in his mother’s womb, and given that 90% of guys have latent “I wanna date my mom” tendencies anyway, you really can’t go wrong.

The above arguments are irrefutable, but there’s something else great about flannel, and it has nothing to do with pleasing men (that’s right people, not everything on my blog relates to attracting men (no really, it’s true!)).  The most wonderful thing about flannel, is that it makes me feel like anything is possible.  Like when I’m all wrapped up in my flannel, the world transforms itself behind my resting eyes:

-Suddenly I leave my room, and soar into the air on a flying elephant.  While I’m high up in the atmosphere, I eat up the cotton candy clouds, and play a little song on my magic flute.

It’s the enchantment of flannel, you know?

Yeah I know you know…

So a message to the men that desire me: I will never ditch my flannel pajamas, which basically means the following:

-you can take me as I am, or call up the next bitch in line.

  1. Anything that keeps a body warmed up is just fine with me.


  2. I’ve never heard of an anti-fetish, but this male friend of yours has some serious issues. I mean, I agree that there’s a lot to be said for sexy lingere. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with flannel.

    And in fact, seeing as it’s soft & velvety, can only possibly increase the pleasure of caressing snuggling.


  3. NO!

    Even if said flannel PJ’s have rubber feet, it’s a horrible thing for a woman to wear. That is a sign of a woman succumbing to failure. You might as well watch Cashmere Mafia and Sex in the City reruns while your 4 cats eat the remains of 4 pints of ben and jerry’s.


  4. Flannel PJ’s are sexy.

    Thomas :)


  5. huge fan of the flannel pj’s… extremely sexy and very underated. i honestly can’t keep my hands off them. it gives that comefortable, smooth/dry feeling.


  6. My daughter lives in Flannel PJs and has about 10 sets of them. One has sushi on it, another has tea and dragons, another has playing cards– she has a whole bunch of them and her husband seems to like them. Probably because they are soft and cuddly. I wear them too. They are not so sexy on me, just large. But they are so warm and comfy. You can see in our Christmas morning photo http://joanharvest.wordpress.com/2007/12/27/guilty-of-not-blogging-and-putting-christmas-pigs-first/89/
    most of us have flannel on.


  7. lol i like the flannel pjs too but all my x’s said they were ugly *shrugs* now im in the habbit of cotton pj bottoms and singlet tops.

    i guess if hes meant to b4 for you romi he’ll love you in flannel with winnie the pooh!


  8. ha ha your pose in the pajamas brings me amusement ! i has a few pair of flannel pajamas, i wear them about the house and to the store, but once you go under the covers, its nature time.


  9. Flannel Enchantment! I’m all for it.


  10. I’m diggin the flannel PJ’s for all the reasons you sited (especially the easy access). I even enjoy wearing the flannel PJ pants. I’ll wear them anywhere socially acceptable, and even a few places they are not. They are just so comfy, and bottom line, that’s what it’s all about. ;)


  11. Flannel p.j.’s rank right up there with twinkies in my book. My husband is fine with them for sleeping, but I don’t think he’s smitten with my habit of switching into them literally 2 seconds after I walk into the door.

    Rather than criticizing me directly, he tries to buy me silky p.j.’s for Christmas as an alternative. Silly man. I’m sure somebody at Goodwill was quite happy to find a pair of never-worn silky p.j.’s…that is, if a man was shopping at Goodwill for his wife.

    You crack me up!


  12. I’m down with the flannel too and I agree with your suggestion that they can be cute and alluring, but this line: “-you can take me as I am, or call up the next bitch in line.” is solid gold! I wish all women would have it tattooed somewhere on their bodies as a reminder! Great Post! You Rule! :)


  13. Pah. It has nothing to do with what you’re wearing and everything to do with how you’re wearing it.

    That said, if flannel is predominantly “I’m grumpy and/or sick” wear for a gal, you can’t blame a guy for developing a bad association for flannel. Maybe this man-slut you know had a past GF for whom flannel was her all-frumpy all-the-time gear, and he’ll have to have some immersion therapy to change his mind.


  14. The old man gets me in the nothing for Pj’s area, but I insist on having flannel sheets to make up for it.


  15. The last 4 comments said it so well! Love your Pooh PJs!! For the sexier look, simply undo a button! Not sexy enough? One more button …Very cute post Romi :D I hope your snotflow is on the wane. I am home sick laying around in my flannels too. In flannel sheets, in our flannel lined bedroom (except for the ceiling, which is, come on, I know you’ll guess!) …


  16. Romi-

    Hey you. Hope that all is well in your little magical universe. You know, I’ve sat here and pondered this for longer than I probably should have, but I think that I have to say that there are no strong feelings one way or the other on flannel pj’s. Soft and cuddly? Check. Sexy? Not so much. Not that sexy always means sex, or that soft and cuddly means no sex, and this is probably why I have no opinion. I’ve had some of the worst fights in my life with beautiful women wearing lingerie, and have had some of the best sex of my life with someone wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. But I digress…

    One other thing I wanted to tell you. I must admit that it has been some time since I have been able to enjoy the simple pleasures that extend from watching a Winnie the Pooh episode, but seeing your pj’s reminded me of something (other than the fact that I haven’t seen a woman in something other than business or grocery shopping attire in quite some time *sigh*). (This is not verbatim) There is this one particular scene where Christopher Robin comes walking up to Winnie, and Pooh gets all excited, and Christopher asks, “What’s all the fuss, Pooh?” and Pooh replies, “You’ve come at the best time of day!” “And what time of day is that?” asks Christopher. Pooh said, “When yo u and me….become we.” Peace.


  17. I usually turn an eye away from anything flannel. But your modeling skills may have changed my mind a bit.


  18. Romi,

    I don’t believe that the picture is you. You’ll have to post a face shot for me to believe. Why don’t I believe it? I don’t believe you could hide those freakishly long hands behind your butt.

    Prove me wrong!!! ;)


  19. You shoulda included your face, deary.

    Umm .. on the PJ thingy? They can be sexy. They dont stop my husband from getting worked up into a lather.


  20. I think they are perfect. (and they are sexier than my hubby’s boxers and t-shirts that I often wear.)

    Just a bit os shameless advertising: http://justcuz.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/placing-an-ad/

    hehehe… ;)


  21. From the Sky Mall Magazine I am plan to feature soon…

    http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102195266&c=

    but there is also this thing…

  22. Flannel pjs are dead sexxy!! I spent all day easter in my flannel “house pants” (also known as glorified pjs) and I loved every minute of it. The guests were all dressed up in their easter finery, but there I was, the chef, running around the kitchen in my flannel pants, my “Life Sucks But SIRSY MAkes it SWELL!” t-shirt, no shoes and broad rimmed hiking head addornment. Should have taken a picture, I’m sure I was a sight… :)
    But back to flannel….I love the cozy feeling of the flannel pjs and being curled up with someone wearing them, something comforting and warm and exciting about it…and of course the best part is helping someone OUT of their pjs…. ;)


  23. I miss flannel, I don’t remember owning anything “flannely” right now. May lots of naughty bits of the “Romi-kind” be satisfied during cuddle-licious times for your PJ times.


  24. You should be comfortable in your PJs! Confidence is sexual and honestly, if you and some hottie are in the bed together getting all cozy, it’s only a matter of time before whatever you are wearing is tossed aside anyway so why should it have to be lingerie? ;)


  25. PJ’s are fine. I don’t see anything wrong with them. They make guys in the mood for stay up all night and watch movies sorta mood. Well, at least for me.

    Loco


  26. Who doesn’t love flannel? It’s comfy, it can hide stomach flab easily, it’s warm, it’s cuddly and comes in fun colours and patterns!
    Any guy who doesn’t want to rub up against flannel is a weirdo unworthy of your crusty nostril love.


  27. purefnevyl: haha, ya I know you like your bodies nice ‘n HOT…good to see you around again :-)

    Adam: oooh…soft, velvety, carressing and snuggling, tell me more my friend, hahaha ;-)

    Elvi: “EVEN” if the PJ’s had rubber feet? So rubber-feet would actually make them better for your tastes??? WTF man????? LOL….

    twps: hell-frickin’ YEAH! ;-)

    Island Boy: I pondered your comment for a while (indeed, I did), but I came no closer to figuring out if you were being sincere, or incredibly sarcastic…”is he a hopeless romantic or a cynic?” You’re an enigma Island Boy, that’s all I know for sure… ;-)

    joan: flannel pj’s with sushi on them??? But the sushi looks all “cartoon-y” right? ‘Cause otherwise the sight of it would make me uncomfortable…

    PS: your flannel-clad family on Christmas morn’ is just precious!! :-)

    queen: I’m all about the cotton PJ bottoms and singlets in the summer time, but summer doesn’t last very long around these parts, so fuzzy-flannel dominates my life :-)

    mittins: I’m glad my pose amuses you! Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a spec of skin like a heroin-addicted model, who can do lots of interesting curvy movements, and that was my best showing ;-)

    PS: “nature time”!?!???! Who is this and what have you done with mittins? I thought that wizard suit never comes off, and besides which, what would motar have to say about your inappropriate nature-time??? (*tsk, *tsk…)

    Curious C: anyone who tries to deny the enchantment of flannel has a hollow soul.

    Peter Parkour: I’ve seen the Flannel PJ pants out doing their thing in public, and even though I like to “dress it up and whore it up” when I hit the streets, I support comfort as well :-)

    Allison: I’m a switch-into-flannel-once-I-walk-in-the-door gal too! Like who cares if it’s still daylight, and other supposedly more “healthy and active” women are in the park jogging??? I’m in flannel baby, so suck it!! ;-) (that is just a personal statement, I know you are a part of a gym, and I applaud you ;-) )

    PS: ohhh the myth of women liking silk PJ’s…I serious wouldn’t go near those…

    dontdatethatdude: thanks for the support, and I’m gonna get that line tattooed on my forearm, I think it’ll raise my “street-cred” big time ;-)

    Taoist Biker: I’m not gonna lie, the man-slut crosses my mind from time to time, so some corrective therapy might be worth the trouble ;-)

    cowgalutah: did I understand that correctly? Do you sleep in the buff??? If yes, then you are a saucy gal, I have to say ;-)


  28. David: the funny thing is, the buttons are very inclined to “undo” themselves if I make any sudden movements…I wonder if a man engineered this Pooh-wear ;-)

    PS: My snot-flow is almost out the door, and I hope that you’re feeling better!

    PPS: I totally don’t get what you’re driving at with the ceiling reference…Should I know this? Hmmm…like is your ceiling made of mirrors so you can watch yourself when you’re…ah never mind ;-)

    DoesItREALLYmatter: haha, in my “magical little universe”?? I think I love that ;-)

    PS: look at you with your sexy sweatpants-story, suddenly things got interesting! Haha ;-)

    PPS: Ahhh, I love that Winnie the Pooh quote, and I love Winnie, even though he’s a dude-bear who sounds like a grandma….and hey: keep your chin up, you’ll see a non-grocery-shopping/business attire-wearing chick soon enough :-)

    bronsonfive: I know that when you are repulsed by something, you are repulsed by it, so I see it as a great accomplishment that I’ve even slightly turned you:-)

    Daddy Dan:
    HAHAHA…yes, my big freak hands are SOMEHOW hidden…to be perfectly honest, I just shoved those giant claws down my pants (which are very loose-fitting, and thus were adequately able to enclose my enormous-freak-hands ;-) )

    Red: you know I love to whore myself out, but me with snot all over my nose/upper lip and swollen blood-shot eyes is probably not a good look ;-) (but today I looked a little less hideous, I promise :-) )

    PS on your hubby’s lather production: LMAO… :-)

    betme: OH MY GOSH…to everyone: betme’s son is single and looking!! Hahaha…does he know you posted that personal ad? But you’re right: he’s adorable with those cute dimples ;-)

    Lucky:

    A: I can’t wait for this post

    B: WHY the hell are those PJ’s like $75??? And they have rubber feet on them!!! HAHAHA…. :-)

    C: WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!!? A “slanket”???? OH MY GOD…and did you notice that it said the “apricot-coloured” “slankets” are not available any more? I almost pissed myself laughing…ohhhh man :-)

    glassowater: “house pants” is such a great term; I love terms that class up the most basic clothing…like for ages I wondered what a “house-coat” was, and finally discovered that’s it’s kind of like a gross “old-lady robe” or something, hahahaha ;-)

    PS: horray for flannel snuggles! And yes of course, the last part is the best-est part ;-)

    duffboy: your personalized greeting-card-like wishes really help me and my naughty bits get through the daily grind; thanks man :-)

    teeni: I like your style, and it’s true, if the end result is all the same, let’s flannel-it-up! ;-)

    Couchptato10: okay, I officially love the way you think ( ;-) )…for real: do you know staying up watching movie-marathons is one of my favourite things? :-)

    talea: thanks dude, I had forgotten the best part: i.e. YES, the houdini-like disappearance of flab under flannel is one of its greatest gifts to woman-kind ;-) …and like yeah, my crusty-nostril-love is pretty much 100% worth leaving your wife and kids for… :-)


  29. I tagged you for a meme – no pressure but you are one of the bloggers who I’d like to know more about so I had to tag ya! :)


  30. I canno sleep in PJ’s… It’s pretty much comfy undies, or nothing at all these days. Even in winter.


  31. Darling Romi Lou,

    Flannel is comfortable and comforting and what I want next to me when I be illin’. It’s like wearable
    chicken soup.

    I’ve never been one for lingerie. I find that I naturally gravitate to men who really don’t care about it either.

    I’ve heard men talk about the incredibly sexy quality of rather unremarkable white cotton bikinis with little yellow ducks on them.

    If a man can’t find you alluring and sexy in flannel, fuck him. Life isn’t all about Merry Widows and thongs and lacy corsettes.

    Sometimes sex and love are at their best when they’re at their most comfortable and relaxed.

    LK


  32. I can’t believe I found my way over here. I don’t often hang out at chick sites with lavender borders…

    Then I saw Laurie commented over here and figured it was safe.

    On the topic…flannel? Hell yeah. And if you are the one modeling the flannel pjs that are in the photo, then keep doing it…it totally works for ya!

    OK…back to my cave…


  33. LOL Love that post how you been! I have been avoiding this place for awhile have to be in the right mood to read you lol ;)


  34. Its kinda winter ish here now and im in pj bottoms and a singlet top. i do have the flu and a fever but thats not the point.

    also. thanks to your post i just found oout one of my best mates sleeps nakid. awesome mental pics right there.


  35. You need to cut “access holes” in them and then they are ok. Haha.


  36. Romi ~ No, he does not know (yet) that I posted the ad. And he isn’t exactly looking. I am looking for him. It is my duty as him mom. ;)


  37. I think we can all agree that most men are lousy at “reading” their women when it comes time for the relations. CareerMom and I have evolved a system over time whereas if she’s wearing something sexy to bed (which basically is anything BUT cotton panties) then it’s OK to try and hook up with her.

    So, used judiciously, I see no problem with the flannel. Frankly, sometimes it’s a relief when the cotton shows up cuz then it means I can just lie there, watch some TV and then drift off without there being any question of whether or not she wants me to turn off the TV and ravish her. I’ll take all the help I can get.


  38. NOTED: “huge fan of the flannel pj’s… extremely sexy and very underated. i honestly can’t keep my hands off them. it gives that comefortable, smooth/dry feeling.”
    I’ll have to go out today and purchase some!!! IB, would you prefer cartoon characters, plaid, or just a nice solid??? Let me know ASAP bc the excitement of the purchase is becoming unbearable!


  39. Romi-

    LOL! You’re really getting me out of my “shell”; I used to never even comment on blogs, let alone RE: to things that other people said to me. The “magical little universe” stemmed from the last comment you gave me… “I prefer to squint my eyes and look for the magic…it’s hard to see it, but in those little cracks of otherwise boring-time, it’s there, tiny specs of the brightest light, with a whole lotta “mood-boosting” mileage”… I figured, this girl is either off her rocker, or knows something that I don’t. I hoping for the latter;, plus, don’t we ALL live in ‘magical little universes’ of some varying degree? Perhaps I’m being a bit obtuse, but I didn’t really understand your first PS :/. Lastly, yeah, I remember that quote from being a small boy, guess I was just as hopeless a romantic back then as I am now. :D I’m also at that weird stage where I’m a bit too old to go to the “clubs” in this town (it’s a college town) but not quite old enough to go to the “older” type clubs (usually singles in their 40s-50s) I’m stuck in this weird limbo, keg parties aren’t really my thing anymore, but I’m not quite old enough to be “put out to pasture” just yet. I need a change.


  40. Huh, my boyfriend, David, actually loves stuff like flannel pjs on girls. It looks comfortable and cute and sexy to him.

    Some guys seem to dig that vampy lingerie look that oozes sex. Others seem to be into that girl next door look.

    Personally I fall into the latter category. I’d rather be comfortable and feel sexy than suffer for my art.


  41. Big thumbs up on the flannels. But only the Nick n’ Nora brand. Comfy AND sassy. And my boyfriend knows what’s UNDER them…


  42. I wear flannel pajama pants whenever I’m at home. It doesn’t chafe my nether regions like denim tends to do, and the crotch takes a long time to wear out. Plus, if I want to go to a rave, I don’t have to change!


  43. WHOA!!!! WHOA!!!! WHOA!!!!

    Flannel is extremely sexy!!

    I don’t think i would want it to come out for a one night stand, but i love cosing up with a girlfriend when she has those on!


  44. Abby… I want you to get the ones with the clouds on them.


  45. Just to clear it up, yes May = Maytina = the gal Greenie sometimes gushes about. Nice to ‘meet’ you. ;)

    I have to admit, I diched my flannel PJs the year I moved in with the husband machine, but I have some cute/sexy loungewear that’s really super comfy!! The one I wear most is really form fitting, but it as a front pocket for the cell and a hood! I loooove it and it’s snazzy enough for me to change into once I’m home for the day and not be all frumped out.

    I’m looking forward to meeting you eventually, the gals have some super sweet things to say about you? Do you knit? Up for learning? :P


  46. PS ‘the gals have some super sweet things to say about you’ should not have been a question, I’m distracted! :P


  47. Hmmm… IB, to say “…but i love cosing up with a girlfriend when she has those on!” and then advice me on the kind you want me to buy??!! You’re giving me butterflies!!


  48. You look stunning in those flannels Romi. I think you could find a pair with like a built in push-up bra for when you want to be more comfortable in da clubs, but otherwise, I love that look. Winnie the Poo is not intimidating like some of those other cartoon figures. He’s inviting and almost seductive. It’s like you’re saying, I know you want that honey pot, come get it.


  49. Romi – the flannel ‘house pants’ are all I wear at home anyway: if you are in my house and I don’t have to be anywhere, I’m in the flannel :) Unless I’m trying to impress someone…then maybe I’ll wear khakis in the house…
    To paraphrase George Costanza from Seinfeld : If it were socially acceptable, I’d be in my comfy flannel pants all the time!
    I think sleepwear is the great social equalizer: we all look equally goofy, comfy and awkward in our chosen garments de snooze.


  50. flannel pj’s are the best! you’re man slut is uninformed. comfy clothes lead to relaxation which leads to fun times and crazy weasel sex. :)


  51. teeni: I saw the tag and I’m pretty sure I can scrounge up 5 archived posts that meet those terms, so I’ll swing by your place in a bit and drop off the links (don’t blame me though if you get traumatized by finding out more about me ;-) )

    leaf: ummm…wow, I had no idea you felt so constricted by…clothing…you are a cool and interesting chick ;-)

    Laurie: I really love your angle, and that last bit made me all stupid-smiley-faced!! ;-)

    Nigel: hahaha, many a man has stumbled here feeling just “a little bit wrong”, but sometimes I’m able to seduce them into making regular visits…LOL

    PS: before you go back to the cave, yes that IS me in those PJ’s, and thanks! (my ego love you LONG time…lol ;-) )

    Kaylee: I COMPLETELY understand that you have to be in the right mood to deal with my madness, but you made it! Which means…I hope you’re feeling a lot better :-)

    queenbitch: I KNOW EH???? She totally threw me for a loop with the “naked confessional”…good luck with your issues now! HAHAHA… ;-)

    Steve: “access holes” WTF!?!?? And why more than one hole? Oh wait…never mind (*blushing*…)

    betme: you are a GREAT mom, but how come when my parents do it in their “arranged marriage” style, it doesn’t seem as loving??? :-(

    dobeman: wow, I love the “hook up system” you’re rockin’ with “career mom” ;-)

    PS: I started sweating when you said the word “ravish”…what is UP with that word?? WOW…

    Abby and Island Boy (I’ll deal with you two at once): OH MY GOSH, it thrills me to observe the mating dance that got underway in “Land of Briz”, only to continue on at “Year of the Chick”…can you IMAGINE if by way of my own pursuit of a man, I inadvertently helped hook-up two commenters, with all this sexy flannel-talk? I should get to make a speech at the wedding, that’s all I’m sayin’ ;-)

    DoesItREALLYmatter?: Yay! I love getting people out of their shells!!! (LOL…). But seriously, I rarely read a blog post without commenting on it, not for any special reason, and not that I think everyone should as well, it’s just that I enjoy seeing the beauty of my own words on screen (LOL)…you know? ;-)

    But (REALLY) seriously, I’m glad you feel comfortable chillin’ on this thread, it’s like a club-house but there’s no candy or s’mores, BUT girls AND boys are allowed :-)

    PS: re: magical universe, no I’m not off my rocker, I definitely know what I’m talking about :-)

    PPS: My “other” PS: meant that “now things are getting interesting”, because you revealing your “sweatpant-sex” story brought you out of your shell a bit, hence things got more interesting…or something, haha…

    PPPS: screw the pasture, and clubs (I’m finding) are BAD places to meet people…maybe hire a dog and chill out at a dog park…


  52. Plain Jane: welcome, and thanks for the supportive anecdote! :-) I am SO with you on the non-suffering art, I’m gonna remember that line ;-)

    annhandley: another one in the flannel cult, I am seriously feeling less embarrassed now ;-)

    thedesktop: hahaha, I am so NOT hip to the rave scene, but if PJ’s can double as rave-wear, well then fuck…I need to get my ass to a rave!

    May: yay, so it IS you!!! :-) And you seem like you’ve got a good option going with the cute/sexy/comfy (and functional) loungewear, why have I never heard of this???

    PS: The only time I knitted was when I was 11 and my grandma taught me…I forgot how a week later when the scarf I was knitting got too many knots in it and I gave up, hahaha…(is it possible to re-learn???)

    PPS: oh, those girls are so precious to say sweet things! I love gushing to my non-blog friends about these cool blog-chicks I met, and they just look at me blankly and slowly step away…hahaha

    PPPS: I can’t wait to meet you either, and I love the term “husband machine”, haha :-)

    Andrea: yo, I was like who the fuck is Andrea? But then I realized it was my “AB12-homegirl”, and I calmed down ;-) …so holy crap, the ONE thing missing from my winnie-flannels, is the push-up bra option (and I would want it to be padded too (for reasons that are explained in my next post…sigh…))

    PS: I love the subliminal message of the honey-pot on those PJ’s!! How did I never notice that???? Ohhh whorish Disney, you gotta love it ;-)

    glassowater: the khakis will FOR SURE impress the ladies as long as they are the wrinkle resistant ones ;-)

    PS: good call on the “social-equalizing” quality…very true, and LOL…that is one of the George-Costanza quotes I will always remember…his fetish was even worse though: was it velour or velvet? HAHAHA… :-)

    Black Coffee & Bourbon: OH MY GOD, I have never heard anyone use the term “crazy weasel sex” before, but I freakin’ love it!! :-)


  53. Well Romi, I’m afraid if I don’t get my priorities straight I may lose him FOREVER!!! He’s only engaging in such quixotic jousting because he’s interested in my naughty sex life secrets… then it will be true love!


  54. Oh, and yes you can give a speech for uniting a couple of flannel loving freaks! Weddings are the best place to meet men too!!!! I’d also love to see you fight for the bouquet!

    *all in good fun!


  55. We need to talk about this flannel PJ’s thing… I mean if you go that far then just add a pair of crocs to cap the look.


  56. Quixotic it is not!!!

    A phone call would be nice!

    and yes Romi, if there ever came a union via random blogging commenting, i would see to it you received an all expense paid trip to that wedding.


  57. Abby: the mating dance between blog-commenters is a tricky one for sure, but I’m an optimist, so I’m gonna sit here while true love prevails ;-)

    PS: I would mow those bitches down for the bouquet!!!

    Paul: I should wear a pair of CROCS to cap off the look??? That was uncalled for, and I’m starting to think that you and the man-slut would get along pretty well…

    Island Boy: oooh, I love free trips, in which case, get this super-fly-romance going!!! ;-)


  58. Shit, you are so sexy, and you know it girl! You seriously make me LOL. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!


  59. Dude, maybe your problem is that you keep going after yankees. They aren’t exactly famous for treating women well. Take for instance country music. How many southern men in country music do you hear singing about lingerie? Hardly any, ever. Now think about how many sing about loving women in blue jeans, tank tops, bare feet, or faded old cotton gowns? (ie: the flannel of the south) Lingerie should be exclusively for special sex, not for every day use. That’s what makes lingerie great. You shouldn’t wear it out by wearing it every day. Fuck your faggy straight hetero male fried, he clearly doesn’t know jack shit about what actually makes women sexy. Flannel? Fuck yeah, bend her over and pull that shit down! Bring on the flannel.

    And why do you keep coming back to this shit about men wanting to date their mothers? All women seem to think this. Let me clear this matter up, it’s NOT true. Whoever came up with that theory was an idiot. The only thing normal guys look for in a girl that their mother did, is someone who cooks well and takes care of them when they are sick. That’s the only similarity we want. If you happen to be similar to our mothers, it’s just coincidence. And honestly, most of us marry you long before you know how to cook worth a shit in the hopes that eventually you will learn.


  60. BFF

    That guy is WRONG!!! Let me tell you, i am to a lover of all things flannel. (my other friends actually hid some of my “bar jackets” aka flannel plaid shirts so i would stop wearing them. Listen, my b/f LOVES me in flannel because it makes me hot and then he has to “get me out of those warm pj’s” wink wink!!


  61. How did you manage to give me that flu from 2000 miles away?


  62. Lumpy: be careful with all that LOLing, you could hurt yourself! And yo, I’m glad you think I’m sexy in the flannel…spread the word to the fellas! ;-)

    Josh: “Flannel? Fuck yeah, bend her over and pull that shit down! Bring on the flannel”
    -HAHAHAHA…and that my friend, is all I needed to know ;-)

    PS: LMAO..I threw in that “your mother” business just to see if you’d notice, it was a wayward “shout-out”…awesomeness ;-)

    BFF: I think it’s SO right to make our chick-ish bods all hot and warm before the mating-dance, so good call as always ;-)

    paulmct: OH DUDE…NO…like there is a thinly-veiled insult in your comment…well okay, maybe it’s not veiled at all, but WTF? Oh well, just reference Josh’s comment, flannel PJ’s are HOT sucka! You’re just sad that you’re on the west coast, and missin’ out on all this romi-goodness, so HA!!!!
    :-)


  63. Insult? Sorry, I must have underestimated your sensitivity. I was just noting that I got the flu around the same time you were sick and made a little joke out of it. I guess you haven’t read me lately, or you’d have picked up on that. Maybe I should be insulted!

    Well, whether I should be or not, I’m going to shamelessly take the opportunity to include a link to the post that proves it. Note that it refers to the previous post, too. Feel free to catch up.
