PajamaJeans Are Here For Your Equal Opportunity Comfort


Every now and then, a girl finds a piece of clothing that changes her life: the t-shirt that looks as good at the grocery store as it does at a party, the boots that combine equal parts comfort and sass, the little sundress that lightly treads the line between “I make my own organic currant jam” and “I will bang you in the men’s restroom of an Outback Steakhouse with little or no hesitation.”

You wouldn’t believe what the one on the right would do for a plate of coconut shrimp.

For me — a lady who tends to value comfort above all else — it’s the perfect article of loungewear that holds the ability to transform my life. I’m not talking about a Snuggie; I’m talking about that ideal sweatshirt or hoodie or pair of elastic-waisted pants that are comfortable yet presentable. Versatile but reliable. Casual enough to sleep in, yet not so casual as to suggest that you have given up and hey, isn’t that tomato soup on your sleeve? And didn’t you find out you were allergic to tomatoes six months ago? Oh, dear.

You can imagine my delight, then, when I was presented with the opportunity to experience the modern wonder of fashion that is…PajamaJeans.

Shhh, shhh, shhh, Pajama Jeans: No need to say more. You had me at “feels like PJs.”

When my PajamaJeans arrived at my doorstep, I could hardly wait to get into them. I mean, look at that woman up there! She’s smokin’ hot WHILE SHE’S RELAXING. What’s that? Her ass looks fantastic? You’d totally hit that? Yes, I imagine you would, but could you keep it down, please? She’s napping.

I mean, gosh, I don’t know how many times I’ve sexily twisted the bottom of my shirt to reveal a tantalizing peek of flesh before heading straight to bed for eight solid hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Flushed with the knowledge that these pants would either get me super rested or super laid, I ran to the bedroom to give them a whirl. As I slipped out of my plain, old non-pajama-ed jeans, I had to wonder: why PajamaJeans? Why not just Pa’Jeans? That gets me out of saying two entire syllables — time that could be better spent looking hot/relaxing in my brand new Pa’Jeans. I pulled the surprisingly oppressive fabric over my legs, took a deep breath, and turned around to take a look in the mirror.

Oh. Well, that’s…a little different than I expected. What if I tucked in the drawstring and lifted up my shirt like the lady in the ad?

DEAR GOD, NO.

So, despite the fact that I ordered a size small, my PajamaJeans seemed a bit generous, especially in the crotch department.

Eight inches? That’s an quite an impressive depth, and not in the way that will make you popular with the gentlemen. Well, let’s try a side view. Remember how amazing the lady’s ass looked in the ad? Good thing the baby’s napping, because once my husband gets a load of my rockin’ ass in these PajamaJeans, I’m gonna be gettin’ CRAZY banged up in here!

Or not. One generally needs an ass to have intercourse, and I seem to be fresh out.

I decided to inspect the back view, for science.

On the bright side, I have half of my Hank Hill costume ready for next Halloween.

So, yeah. As much as I wanted to, I just wasn’t able to fully rock the PajamaJeans. I chalked it up to ordering the wrong size and lamented the fact that my much anticipated Pa’Jeans were inevitably headed for the thrift store.

Or were they?

Suddenly, it dawned on me: the PajamaJeans were too big on me, and they had a wealth of crotch volume. This could only mean one thing: they were really meant for dudes. Seeing as how I had a dude on hand, I thrust the PajamaJeans towards my husband and uttered a single question: “Do you love comfort?”

And boy, does he!

I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before! How presumptuous of me to assume that the luxury of PajamaJeans was meant only for women! Now I could finally see PajamaJeans being enjoyed the way they were meant to be. I followed my husband Brad around for a regular evening at home to document how well PajamaJeans would withstand a normal night of leisure. First up, a short jaunt out of the house for a quick game of ball with the guys. Would PajamaJeans be up to the task?

And THEN some! Check out that tight end!

Back from football, Brad had worked up quite an appetite and was hankering for a snack. But first: gotta stretch! Don’t want to get cramped up, do we?

Heavens, no.

Time for a snack! How are those cherry popovers looking?

20110501 522 e1304392772284 580x870 PajamaJeans Are Here For Your Equal Opportunity Comfort

Sinful, I’m sure! Thank goodness for this elastic waistband!

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a cocktail and a good movie.

20110501 510 580x386 PajamaJeans Are Here For Your Equal Opportunity Comfort

Tell me about it. The Notebook gets me every time!

RING RING! Who could that be at this hour? Oh, it’s just my girl Janet, bringing the drama, as usual.

20110501 542 e1304393292592 580x870 PajamaJeans Are Here For Your Equal Opportunity Comfort

Fabulous!

Well, that settles it. PajamaJeans definitely deliver what they promise — style meets comfort in a package you can’t resist. I’m still disappointed that I wasn’t able to wear them myself, but I guess you just need the right body type to really make that spandex denim sing!

    Sweet lord above, that made me laugh.

    I will be re-reading this in my office later where I can snort laugh more thoroughly.

  • http://twitter.com/bstephenson Brad

    Happy Mother’s Day. The gift that keeps on taking… Me. In Pajama Jeans.

    • http://baltimoregal.blogspot.com/ baltimoregal

      THANK YOU for that!

  • BRRnard

    HO. LEE. SHIT. This entry is off the charts, JT. It would take me an hour to go through all my favorite stuff.

    However, I can no longer have sex with your husband either.

    • http://twitter.com/bstephenson Brad

      But… but… Jive Turkey said they were sexy. Was I duped? I don’t understand!

  • http://twitter.com/blogger_becky Becky

    That’s it. You win the internet today.

    • http://swanfeet.wordpress.com Caitlyn

      seconded!

  • http://www.hydrangeasarepretty.wordpress.com shelli

    he’s FABOO!

  • Kel P.

    Best thing I’ve seen on the Internet all week.

    Your husband is great and has convinced me that I need a pair of pajama jeans.

    Also, your flooring is just lovely.

    • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

      Not to detract attention away from my husband’s ass in PajamaJeans, but we found those floors in that exact condition underneath some nasty, ancient carpet when we moved in. Jackpot!

      I am also really hoping our new neighbors enjoyed the photo shoot.

  • Cedar

    Wow, that photo essay was beyond worth the purchase of your ill-fitting Pa’Jeans. I always read your blog and wonder: can Brad really as awesome as JT? Does Brad really deserve JT’s awesomeness? I’m really glad that the answer is yes to both! Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me realize that all my relationship needs is some documentation of the silly moments with my sweetie.

    • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

      I…uh…have some slightly used PajamaJeans I can send you.

    • http://twitter.com/bstephenson Brad

      These very sweet comments are making me feel so much better about how much those Pajama Jeans absolutely destroyed my testicles.

      • Cedar

        JT: Uh…thanks. I’ll let you know on that. If my relationship takes a nosedive, I’ll drop you a line.

        Brad: Oh dear, it sounds like there may be a downside to the Pajama Jeans. Maybe you can get some free stuff by complaining to the company that there’s no discomfort to testicles warning. And if you call them to complain, please record that shit!

  • http://www.lawyerish.com Lawyerish

    I am about to throw up, I am laughing so hard. God, I wish we were neighbors.

    • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

      I wish that as well. Keep in mind that if we were neighbors, you would’ve seen those photos being taken Sunday evening, and it would have been horrifying.

  • http://pantalonesdelfuego.wordpress.com MLE

    To Cedar: I have met them both in person, and even stayed in their house. And yes, they are equally fabulous.

    To JT: Your husband is awesome.

    To Brad: I hope JT suffers some sort of brief retrograde amnesia so you get to have sex again.

    • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

      Until then, it’s a fantastic form of birth control. PajamaJeans! When disgust is your barrier method.

    • http://twitter.com/bstephenson Brad

      The great thing is… the Pajama Jeans are so tight, I don’t even have to take them off during sex!

      • http://www.sweetney.com Sweetney

        I am in love with you both now in a totally non-threatening, non-creepy way. OH MY GOD NUMBER ONE FAN!1!!!!!

        cough.

  • http://www.chucklilly.com Chuck

    Braidel….. NO, NO, NO!

    I’ll never be able to look you in the eye again.

  • Mollie

    Ok, wow. Just wow. They actually do look kinda great on Brad.

    • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

      I KNOW, right? I’m totally jelly.

  • Maggie

    ha HA HAHAHAHAHAHA gasp HAHAHA. Worth every penny for the photos alone.

  • Holly

    I cried. That was beautiful.

  • Suzy Q

    AWESOME! Love, love, love this!

    JT, you rock. And Brad? You’re, uh, quite a guy. I think. Or, maybe you were.

  • http://www.missmooseart.com Lis

    absolutely the best thing I’ve read all week.

  • KimAZ

    I love BOTH of you.
    In a completely inappropriate way.
    Kinda like the jeans.

  • Marcy

    That was freakin awesome!

  • http://jonrandahl.com JR

    Brad, you looked fabulous! Simply fabulous! ;-D

    That said, Gayle I think there’s grounds for a lawsuit! What about the lifetime of scarring, trauma and disbelief that the pajamajeans weren’t for you? Would you like the number to a guy I know who might be able to get you a .6 figure sum in compensation?
    Damn you PajamaJeans!

  • http://sarahandthegoonsquad.com Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah

    That cracked my shit up.

    Look at that tight end indeed.

    Admittedly it was the disclaimer at the end that made me bark laugh. Yeah, it was sexy.

  • http://www.timetorunlikeagirl.blogspot.com Julie

    This made me laugh, really hard. And I found it very informative as a potential consumer of pajama jeans. ;-)

  • http://stormingyourcastle.com Andrea

    Stop it. Stop it. It hurts.

    Holy crap I’m glad I didn’t see this yesterday when I was trying to work. Hilarious.

    And yet you both seem so normal in person…

  • maura

    That is the funniest thing j have read/seen in a long time. Your husband really rocked those pajamas jeans. Hilarious.

  • Nadine Hearity

    I need to make entire paragraphs of this into like…band names.

  • http://thekiddiecocktail.typepad.com/the-kiddie-cocktail/ Roberta

    Holy shit, this needs to be a PSA. Everyone should know this. Brilliant.

  • http://midwestmomments.blogspot.com/ NotJustAnotherJennifer

    Oh…My…GOD!! I’m dying. Muffling laughter. Tearing up at my desk. I’m here via Angie: http://www.ontherocksandstraightup.com/2011/05/on-rockstars.html

    You have an awesome husband to play along and let you take pics AND post them. So freaking hilarious. I was curious about those myself (you sound as though you could be my like-minded fashion friend from this post). And Pa’Jeans? Brilliant! Will be following now.

  • http://jiveturkeyjives.com/ jive turkey

    I am very happy to have brought so much enjoyment to all of you…even though it’s been done at the expense of my husband’s balls. Seriously, I think those PajamaJeans destroyed his testicles.

  • http://jaimalaya.blogspot.com Jaime

    Oh wow! COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING! Now I’m thinking about getting a pair of Pa’jeans for my husband!

  • http://marcoda.wordpress.com marcoda

    My co-workers asked what I was laughing at. Sent it to them. One was in tears reading it then had to jump on a customer call (I feel a little guilty about that). Then someone else from across the office came over because he heard crying, laughing and choking and wanted to make sure we were ok.

    Thank you for this.

  • http://www.laxidaisy.com Candace

    Thank you, THANK you. You’ve saved me from a nightmare of curiosity. Damnit. But you’ve also doomed my husband. Now he’ll NEVER get a pair AND I’m out of Father’s Day ideas!

  • http://corrinrenee.com corrin

    Sweet mother of GOD…that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a LONG time.

  • http://www.partlysunnyblog.com PartlySunny

    Dear Baby Jesus, Thank you for inventing PaJeans. And sending them to these crazy people. Amen.

  • pbblythe

    The popover pic almost made me lose my ish. Your husband is awesome.

    I’m still chortling a bit.

    awesome review & awesome husband!

  • http://www.sweetney.com Sweetney

    I love your husband. And not in a creepy way. The end.

  • http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com Kristen

    Oh, this made me laugh. I admit I received a pair in the mail to review and they looked even worse on me. But that didn’t stop me from wearing then to bed. And then maybe continuing to wear them the next day to drop my kids off for school. And also maybe a short little run to Target. Damn that comfortable cotton and non-binding waist!!

  • DinaDuck

    thank you, this made my day.

  • http://meangirlgarage.com Jules

    TOTALLY hysterical! Now I know that I MUST buy a pair!! Immediately!

  • http://tangerinemonday.com Stacey

    I came across your blog while I was looking up reviews for pajama jeans. Girl you are a hoot. Made my day. All I can say is your husband has to be easy going to pose for those pics. LOL Loved it.

  • http://suebobdavis.com Suebob

    Your husband should win some kind of award for rocking so hard. I think you should both look him in the eye AND have sex with him.

  • http://www.sendchocolatenow.com Tina

    I will out myself…I have a pair of “Pa’ jeans” and they are really comfortable. They weren’t at first, but I washed them twice and they shrunk right up. I wear them to the dog park. Better than sweats.

    Though now you have me wondering if my husband could…. naaaaaah.
