Hmm, I just miss my high school music competitions... The only time I felt I could get away with yoga pants, tshirt, and pillow was when we'd be on a bus for four hours. That, and if it was too cold, you could still wear your pajama pants under your uniform (floor length dresses) and no one would know.

Can we work on a crackdown of publicly wearing curlers? And I don't mean, you just came from the beauty shop and needed something from your car. I mean, you're out at the mall in curlers and house slippers. So angering.

@Raspberry Swirl's love is on lockdown: It depends. If the curlers are accessorized with a dangling cigarette indoors, it gets a pass in my book.

@Raspberry Swirl's love is on lockdown: That's its own Doña institution, and I also hate it. Sunday mornings in the mall are the worst.

"Doña, I don't care if you have Misa afterward, just take those curlers out and put a pañuelo for chrissake!

Until last September, I would not have been caught dead wearing pajamas in public. Then came Hurricane Ike and the near total destruction of my neighborhood. I wore pajamas in public fairly often after that, because I just didn't give a shit about anything anymore.

A former colleague of mine wore pjs to work often. In a law office. She got fired pretty quickly. I guess clients found it hard to trust an attorney wearing fuzzy Winnie the Pooh pants.

Jammies. Shanghai is complaining about jammies.

Seriously Shanghai you have a lot of more important things to be worried about than jammies. Take a deep breath and chill the fuck out!

Hey shanghai, it's the sweats you need to crack down on. The sweats!

This girl has gone to the store in PJs, a bathrobe, and a knit hat with a pom-pom on top. Leave the PJs out of this, china.

The police need not intervene with clothing. But Jeebus Cripes there has to be a way to stop people from using the streets like a runway to the couch. It's not just the sweats and teddy-bear print pj pants. I've seen people with fluffy slippers crossing the street. I'll say it again:

FLUFFY SLIPPERS IN THE STREET.

There is no such thing as shame anymore.

@the_decider: The HS where I teach cracked down this year and will not allow students to wear slippers to class. We had to make it policy - state it in the dress code - that students were NOT allowed to wear PJs or bedroom slippers to school. We had to actually specify they were to wear DAY CLOTHES and SHOES.

Shit, in 1977 I was sent home from school for wearing a "Disco Sucks" t-shirt under my flannel. They called my mother to pick me up. My mother demanded I turn the shirt over to her as soon as we got home and she took it outside to the barrel and burned it. I can only imagine what she would have done if I had tried to wear SLIPPERS to school!

I have never worn pajamas in public (not even in college). Just seems a bit odd to me. But I also wear decent clothes to the airport and I don't own flip flops.

(I blame my very Southern grandma for all of this.)

@thatonegirlsays: I can't stand wearing pajamas if I'm up and around. It makes me feel icky if I keep on the clothes I slept in.

Even if I'm just bumming around my apartment for the day and not even seeing another human being, I have to at least put on jeans and a fitted tee. I can't deal with a lack of structure in my casual clothing. I don't own a single pair of sweats.

@BabyJane: Easy on that. I forgot my sweats to work out in on a business trip and the only thing that saved me, since I was in my old college town, was being able to get a pair with my alma mater inscribed on my butt.

@BabyJane: Ah, yes. I think the distinguishing point is whether the writing's connotation is "higher learning" or "grab here".

Although it could be argued to be both, I guess ...

Its guidelines were particularly critical of men who wore white socks with black shoes, but also weighed in on the subject of both pyjamas and the other great fashion faux pas - the male trouser leg rolled up to the knee to cool off.

Oh, China, of all the things to worry about.

I disagree with the pajama thing, but I totally agree on the "cracking down of men in white socks with black shoes." I'll back that one, China.
