What do you call those things?

I realize that talking about my various Christmas pajamas would be much aided by the display of photos of each. However, I am not willing to post pictures of me in my pajamas for the world to see. I need one of those old-fashioned things that display dresses...not a mannequin with weird head but just the cloth body on wire that a dressmaker would use. What is that called? At any rate it would be a great way to display the jammies. But for now, allow me to explain. I am not sure if it began the Christmas I was 3 years old or before that; my parents got pajamas for me to wear on Christmas Eve night. A tradition was born. To this day, I get pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve. As I mentioned previously, I have 21 pairs. I have them from all the way back in 5th grade...that fit. Ok, so some of the sleeves are more like 3/4 length now, but who cares. Given the lack of a whatchamacallit, I think I'll go home and devise a way to photograph the pairs. Stay tuned....

Giving In

I don't know where this is going but to begin with, I have three college roommates. They are beyond friends, more like sisters, whom I was blessed with 12 years ago. No doubt there will be more content about them as more posts appear. They all have blogs. I am giving in to their pressure to have a blog. They even suggested the title. It makes sense. Especially the pajamas, I have more than a few. And the stilettos....I did get compliments on a gorgeous pair of Stuart Weitzman black satin and rhinestone I was sporting on Saturday night. The point is that I am as equally devoted to staying at home and lounging as I am to dressing up and hitting the town. Thus a blog is born. And what better time to start than here in the midst of Christmas Pajama season?! There are currently 21 pairs in my possession....but more on that later.
