Guest toddler82uk Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Taken from : http://www.herald.ie/lifestyle/femme/he-may-well-call-you-baby-but-no-woman-should-dress-as-one-1975553.html Two very good female friends of mine have recently indicated that they are each interested in purchasing a onesie. Not the sexy kind of onesie, you understand, as in the sort of garment that the likes of Rihanna might be pictured in on an average night out on the town -- with a suitable amount of toned thigh on show. Nope. These otherwise sane women have both been eyeing up adult baby gros in Penneys -- complete with enclosed feet and a zip up the front. I have, naturally, informed them that being seen in such a garment is akin to your man being down the wrong end when you are giving birth. Most males simply never recover. The girls weakly tried to argue that onesies look so comfortable and cosy, not to mention cute. I agreed that all of the above is indeed correct -- if you are two years of age. Honestly, it's as if these two women, who I would have previously viewed as total foxes, had had lobotomies and forgotten that it's not just important to keep up appearances for the sake of your romantic relationship. You actually owe it to yourself not to forget that you are, in fact, a grown female, with curves that absolutely do not belong in grown-up baby clothes. Talk about an instant way to repress sexuality. One of the suspects in question actually lives with her partner and he was present for the conversation when she told me she was flirting with the idea of what I can only term as regression therapy, via her choice of bedtime attire. I'm expecting a thank-you card from him soon as I did promptly inform her that baby gros are, in fact, for babies and that women should either make like Marilyn and just wear scent in bed or choose a sexy nightie/man's shirt or underwear set before retiring to the leaba. And if that's not cosy enough, then for God's sake just turn the heat on. - Dee O'Keeffe Link to comment

Repaid1 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What does DD have in common with a slimy cave? They both have stupid trolls! Where does that comment come from??? He merely quoted and provided a link...hardly a troll. Link to comment
Moana Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Where does that comment come from??? He merely quoted and provided a link...hardly a troll. true enough, but even a caged troll in a zoo, is still a troll in your town. Link to comment
Snugglebug Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have to agree. This is not a troll situation and thanks to the OP for presenting this article. Link to comment
Snugglebug Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The troll accusations around here sound creepily familiar to "A WITCH! A WITCH!!!!! BURN HER!!!" Not everyone y'all accuse are horrible trolls! One of these days you're going to hurt someone with accusations of trolling! Should we see if the OP weighs as much as a duck? Link to comment
Snugglebug Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I resemble that remark! Also, I cannot believe how closed minded the writer of this article is...sheesh I would love it if my S/O decided to wear something like what was described..... Better comfy than repressed! qwack Closeminded? The author actually seemed disturbed by the whole notion of other women dressing cute instead of sexy for bed. Not AB friendly in the slightest! I also have to say, her remarks border on being anti-feminist, too, in that she suggests that women should always be dressing to please their men. It also seems to me that the author places far too much value on 'being sexy'. What's she going to do when she hits fifty or so and things start to sag a little? Is she going to turn into a plastic surgeon's dream come true? Link to comment
timmyc Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What does DD have in common with a slimy cave? They both have stupid trolls! WTF? Link to comment
Creepymouse Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have to say, I wish my wife would act a little *more* like the article suggests. I love her little side, but she barely even knows how to do her own makeup and just doesn't understand that, to me, part of being a woman means actually caring about your appearance. Heck, I'm a guy and I care. She is learning, though. I think part of the issue may be that a lot of people get in the habit of 'well, I'm married to him/her, I don't have to put on my makeup/shave/take a shower unless I'm going out.' Besides, there are a lot of men who would love to see their girl in cute bedclothes, rather than a grandma nighty or sweats. Oh, and 'turn up the heat' comment... wifey can be shivering, wearing footie PJs, and under two blankets with the heater on, and I'll be on top of the blankets. Sometimes, our thermostats just aren't on the same setting. Link to comment
duckling Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i live in irl, must check-out penneys, and see how many are buying these baby-gro's and guessing how many are real female ABs!!?? Link to comment
Leilin Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Was I the only one who earperked like "Huh? They sell adult onesies at JC Penney? Link to comment
timmyc Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I always think of a onesie as a t shirt that snaps in the crotch, and a sleeper as a footed snugglely pajama. I am not shocked that JCPenny has them, I know Walmart, Target and others carry them. I don't think they are an AB specific article of clothing, but can certainly be a nice addition. Link to comment
Honeywell6180 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Dee O'Keeffe is a total IDIOT. Are people so stupid to not understand that college co-eds and sorority members are known to wear these, plus the footed sleepers, even? Who ever wrote that needs to get a life.

d_drew12 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 What does DD have in common with a slimy cave? They both have stupid trolls! Yep, so now you shall leave forever Moana. Bye. You won't be missed. Anyway, Target has adult footed pajamas every year for the past several. People buy them all the time for "non AB/DL" reasons. 1 Link to comment
Snugglebug Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ya know, maybe it's the sleep dep talking, but I was just thinking "Maybe the author of that article doth protest too much..." Maybe she got in an uproar because she felt something 'inappropriate' when the discussion of the footed sleepers came up. *chuckle* Link to comment
Snugglebug Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yep, so now you shall leave forever Moana. Bye. You won't be missed. The troll comment may have been out of order, but let's not be out of order when commenting about others being out of order. (Does that actually make sense? I'm a little too knackered to tell.)

d_drew12 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I just don't like the over use of "TROLL" on this website. Anytime anyone disagrees or has an opinion on this board it seems as though SOOOME PEOPLE are quick to throw out the "OOOH, OOH, TROLL, YOUR A TROLL, TROLL, TROLL, TROLL". Troll as said by Wiki: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. Simply stating someone is a troll is trolling, thus the troll comment to Moana. I guess for me posting this, I am a troll too as this is also off-topic and disrupting the topic at hand. We are likely all trolls at some point here so people need to get over it and stop abusing the term. Those people who do, can leave IMHO. Hmph!(arms crossed) Link to comment
drynot Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have to wonder what Mrs Dee thinks of women who wear 'babydoll' dresses. Plenty of men all across the world find women wearing a baby doll dress very attractive. I happen to be one of them. I think footie jammies would be great for everyone who wants to be a little warmer at night. In fact it would probably save the planet somewhat because we all wouldn't need to keep the house as warm while sleeping.....or in general if you wear one all the time. Link to comment

Honeywell6180 College coeds are known to wear onesies? Really? I've never, ever seen a college coed in one and I was in dorms for quite some time. Similarly, I've never seen a Onesie at Penney's. Sleepers? Sure. Heck, K-mart has some nice ones right now, but not Onesies. Link to comment
Honeywell6180 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 What does DD have in common with a slimy cave? They both have stupid trolls! Hey, I can vouch for that. I'm sorry to bust your bubble, folks, but Moana and me are here to stay. Ain't this grand? Honeywell (stuck in a slimy cave) 6180 Link to comment

Aleia Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wow...so it's more important for women to be sexually pleasing to men--even when they are single and sleeping alone in the privacy of their homes, completely out of sight of any man--than comfortable and happy? If God intended us to be blow-up dolls, He would've filled our heads with air, not brains. Please tell me the bimbo didn't write this after wasting her parents' money on a failed college education.

Knuxie Fawks Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 That reporter's awful. If I were her boss, I'd fire her. No reporter should ever base their story on their own personal opinion! That's not reporting! Also, no person has a right to say what someone else chooses to wear as long as it abides by social and legal guidelines. I'm wearing my jammies right now. It's about 75 degrees in here. They're just comfortable! 1 Link to comment

But seriously, it does seem like someones column/opinion piece, there for we should summarize that she needs to wake up and look around. Link to comment
