I clipped the excerpt below from an email I received to today from the folks at the BlogWorld and New Media Expo I’ll be attending next week in Vegas.As a female attending what I can only presume to be a predominately male event, I’m slightly off put by the idea of attending a social event in my pajamas. The dress code rules are completely broken and I have absolutely no frame of reference for how to dress.
PJs I own fall into the following categories:
1. Boring – think shorts and a t-shirt or extra extra long t-shirt. The objective here is usually comfort. This won’t work at BlogWorld for a number of reasons, but the primary being that I operate under the philosophy of always appearing put together at business-social functions.
2. Barely-there – I’m talking practically nude; just panties and a wife-beater. I think it’s obvious why this is not an option.
3. Boyfriend-centric – These aren’t really PJs but more pre-j’s. They exist because the boyfriend finds them visually appealing. They’re not comfortable, they’re not cozy, but they’re certainly sexy. If I wore something like this to the Hard Rock, am I asking for unwanted sexual advances? I think so.
The Question now becomes, do I buy a pair of work appropriate pajamas and what the heck does that mean? Once again, at a loss for a sense of normalcy here. Any help?
Oh and guys…I feel your pain. I know most of you don’t own pajamas let alone actually wear them.
