Pyjamas And Street Cred.
Pyjamas/pajamas have gone street. You now see people on the bus, the mall,
or at the burger joint, in their P.J.’s. Some kids go to school in them.
Most dictionaries define P.J.’s as: ‘A suit of loose pants and jacket or shirt for sleeping in.’ Not
anymore. P.J.’s have taken casual dressing
to another level. Mama won’t approve
because she believed in three things: have a bath every day, wear clean
underwear in case you are hit by a bus, and dress for the occasion.
Mama was a great cook.
She had more dinner plates than any art museum. She even had casserole dishes that went from
the oven to the table.
That is what P.J’s are doing. They go from the bed to the street. It is a free world, but not when I’m meeting
you for lunch. The great Gucci or Tom
Ford P.J.’s tell me that someone jumped the gun, or should we say jumped the
shower, the toothbrush and other things we do every morning to meet the world.
Our lunch date cannot go down nicely if I have all these
thoughts about jumping the shower. The night
is wonderful, when our bodies say: Thank god it is night time. This guy wants to kill me with all this
running around chasing the dollar.
We wash away the smells of the night with some water
municipalities provide (at a cost). In
some countries, it is a dive into the sea or the local river.

Hey! I might be
wrong. Maybe some people do have a full
shower, shave, put on perfume and then take the P.J’s they had the night before
and put them on again.
This does not apply to people who don’t own them at
all.
