Royalty in Motion

There's an event currently underway that exemplifies this concept, over at Facing 50 with Humour. Where you'll find Royalty, Coutiers, Courtesans, and many rooms filled with random riff-raff welcome guests.

What am I talking about?

Well head on over to Facing 50 with Humour and find out:

Visit the Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines Launch Party

The Queen in question - is Carol, and she's hosting a Launch Party for her King -- in the shape of her book "Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines"

If you feel a little nervous about heading to a party when you don't know the hostess, let her introduce herself:

What are you waiting for? It's the party to be seen at. Yes I know - she has a huge house, but I can give you a quick tour so you can fit in once you've arrived:

Head to the Lounge: and cast your vote for your favourite babe in the MINI SKIRT competition. P.S. show your support, and vote for me:

Contestant #5 - Clever and cute.
Here with her twin sister doing
their best to boost sales for me.

Head to the Snug: judge the jokes and cast your vote for your favourite comedian

Head to the Library: to snuggle in a comfy chair and read a few chapters of "Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines", or head next door to the ? Room to find out how the judges have reviewed Carol's book.

By now you're probably thirsty, so head to the Kitchen, where all of Carol's blogger friends have congregated. Yes, I'm there too, and you can click on my name under the surfer chick logo to visit my Bodrum Travel Blog.

Roving Jay

I'd better stop eating the canapes, or I'll never fit into that bikini again!

When you fancy a wander, head out into the Garden or Play room to mingle or play some games.

And don't worry if you don't recognize anyone, there's a funky new blog roll installed, and you can chat with other guests while your mingling.

This is going to be a Fab party... and don't forget... vote for me in the Lounge, and I might even fetch you a drink from the kitchen.

Blogging in Pajama's

Blogging in Pajama’s

hef

What’s in a name?

Pajama’s. PJ’s. Jammie’s, Jim-Jams. There’s many names for those comfy lounge pants, and when you look for a dictionary, you’ll come across the original Asian, and modern European definitions:

  1. Loose-fitting trousers, usually of silk or cotton, worn by both sexes in the Orient.
  2. Night clothes consisting of loose-fitting trousers and jacket.

Striped PajamasThe word Pajama, originates from two Persian words - pāy (leg) + jāma (garment), and when I wear pajama’s, I favour cotton striped draw string pajama bottoms with a plain cotton top.

And I must confess — for me, Blogging has a heightened sense of decadence, when I blog wearing pajamas.

Blogging about Pajama’s

I’m not the first blogger to write about the past-time of blogging in pajama’s. In fact, in 2005 a group of influential bloggers got together to create Pajamasmedia, which was in response to all of the negative publicity about Bloggers spending all day in their Pajama’s.

I came across a couple of noteworthy posts and one video on Blogging in Pajama’s (links below):

  1. What kind of pajama’s do you blog in? by Dave Nalle
  2. Blogging in pajama’s, fact or fiction? by Barbara Swafford
  3. Why I blog in my Pajama’s by Elysa Rice’s video

But I was surprized about how little content was written about the topic – because to me, Blogging and Pajama’s go together like – Bonnie and Clyde or Strawberries and Cream.

So if Elysa Rice is right, and being in loose Pajama’s let’s creativity flow from us, what would your ideal set of Blogging Pajama’s look like?

Pajama for setting the mood

There are so many themed blogs out there, I’m sure there’s a complimentary set of Pajama’s for every niche. Here’s a couple of recommendations:

Eiffel tower Pajama's

For those writing a French Travel or Fashion Blog, how about this Light Blue Eiffel Stretch Lounge Set to get you in the Parisien spirit. With a fashionable scoop neck and empire waist, this cutting edge PJ’s, will have you supplementing your blogging diet with a croissant and Cafe au Lait. Only $122 from Glamorous Los Angeles

Liberty of London Red Rose Pajama'sWhether you’re an English Rose, or somebody with a green thumb - how about these Red Rose traditional flannel Pajama’s to encourage your blog posts to bloom. A bargain at only $234 from Liberty of London.

Mommy and Me Pajama SetsAnd if you’re an active Mommy Blogger, what better choice than an Mommy and Me set of Turquoise Moroccan Paisley pajama’s, with a lace trim to channel your feminine side; patterns to hide the juice spills; with an aura of faraway places to release you from the monotony of household chores. This set can be snapped up for $178.

And if your blog is a little bit racy … there’s only one shop to head to – Victoria Secret.

So whether your a niche blogger, an avid blogger or a sparadic blogger – is there an attire that gets you in the mood to blog more creatively?
