We’ve had snow on the ground here for going on two weeks now, so no running outside (because it’s cold as hell, and because I would totally fall on the ice and break my arm, or worse). Instead, I’ve been going to the club to run on the treadmill, which means that every single morning I have been subjected to the Hoda and Kathie Lee segment of the “Today” show (which I believe is about hour 20, is that right?) followed by Rachael Ray (who seems downright intellectual after Hoda and KLG). I run with my iPod on and my earbuds in because god knows I do not want to hear what Hoda and Kathie Lee are going on about, but it’s hard to miss the visuals. Especially the commercials.
(I saw “Pajama Jeans” this morning and nearly fell off the treadmill. SO WRONG.)
The Pajamagram people are doing a big pre-Valentine’s Day push, because Valentine’s Day is all about the sex and you cannot have the sex in your old ratty pajamas, duh! In particular, Pajamagram is pushing the Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit for women. Yes, you heard me right: the Hoodie-Footie is footie pajamas for grown up women. With a hood! Because nothing says sexy like a pink “marshmallow microfleece” union suit. Come here, baby! Let’s snuggle.
$79.99 at Pajamagram. Yes, seriously.
Fortunately, Pajamagram seems to understand that the Hoodie Footie is more of a pajama condom or fleece chastity belt than it is a sexy negligee — which is, apparently, why they are pairing it with this hott little number.
$149.98 -- currently on sale for $99. Which does not make it ok.
This is advertised as the “SEXY & SWEET: Midnight Fantasy Baby Doll Tap Set & Pink Hoodie-Footie.” I do not know if outfit #1 is meant to go UNDER the Hoodie-Footie or if you’re meant to wear one first and then the other … later.
Either way, this whole deal almost makes the Pajama Jeans look pretty darn reasonable.
Is that velour?! I mean, what else would it be, right?
I am assuming it’s velour, but “marshmallow microfleece” sounds even less sexy. Doesn’t it?
I’m sorry to be crass, but imagining any sort of ACTION going down after begging to be “unzipped out of my hoodie footie” just seems amazing. SNL needs to jump on this business, post haste.
Amy, I just fell out of my chair laughing. EXACTLY!
OMG I just realized you can have the Hoodie-Footie MONOGRAMMED, too! In case you forget your name! Or so you don’t mix your jammies up with the kids’ jammies in the laundry, maybe.
Good god.
Amy – I also choked on my laughter at your comment.
you know what would make it UBER sexy? if that monogram was on the toosh, because I didn’t get enough of that sexiness in the juicy/pink VS clothing phase.

I dunno. I’m so frickin’ cold right now, that thing is looking pretty good to me. Not pink though.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Your post is HILARIOUS and your last comment about the monogramming has me doubled over. Susan, you’re the best. You have the best sense of humor. The reason I don’t have a blog, is because I dream of being as witty a writer as you and I’m not! BTW…I was tortured at the gym by Kathy Lee and Hoda in SWIMSUITS on the set. Hoda actually looked nice, Kathy Lee looked like a spoof of herself. did you see that one? Thank God for my ipod,too!
OMG. Unbelievable. WHO is buying this?
I am stunned speechless. And that takes A WHOLE LOT.
Well, I’m going to be here. Alone. With a bottle of champagne. At least allow me to wear footie pj’s.
hahahah!! this whole thing made me laugh, but the best part was at the end of your post… the google ad was for pajamagram.com.
Oh that is hilarious! Ha!
Oh how funny. I actually bought these hoodie footie things for my sister for her birthday in December and prefaced the gift with, “You will love it and your husband will hate it!” She loves them because they are so her. Warmth and comfort at the expense of fashion is part of her MO I think. I guess I’m doing her any favors by enabling, huh?
Oh my. I was laughing so hard my husband had to look! That is just ridiculous. Aren’t there already enough barriers to a healthy married sex life? Must we add hoodie/footie pajamas?
I am just seeing this post now and I love it! First of all-I can totally relate to your treadmill angst being a big outdoor walker and hater of the tv at the gym. AND, then to be subjected to those pj’s – a felony. I did a V-day post that exhibited the exact opposite – sexy lingerie for V-day. glad that I saw this blog – about to subscribe! Rachel
