[pajamas] all the best people wear them

The Icelanders never let you down:

A new fashion wave has hit the youth of Iceland. Teenagers, mostly ages 14 to 18, wear pajamas trousers in daytime. Everyday pajamas are popular among both sexes and the sale of PJs is soaring. “It is safe to say that there is a fashion wave going on,” Rut Rúnarsdóttir, a clerk at Joe Boxer in the Kringlan shopping mall in Reykjavík told Fréttabladid.

Rúnarsdóttir said this fashion wave had begun before Christmas and the popularity of everyday PJs is still rising. Sale of pajamas in Joe Boxer has increased considerably since late December. “Some parents are happy with this and others are not,” Rúnarsdóttir said.

Is 'Rut Rúnarsdóttir' for real? Does she comprehend her name? Could we perhaps meet at the geyser?

Isn't 'Fréttabladid' also wonderful, meaning 'Evening News'? I originally thought it meant 'frustrated bladder'.

Also, isn't it a tad cold up there to be wearing pajamas outdoors?

Also, also, how would you feel if the pictured honey in red came at you in the shopping mall?

Just wondering.

  1. Pajama bottoms with FEET?

    Really, though?

    We call them "footie sleepers." My toddler wears footie sleepers... I can't even picture an adult/older child wearing them. How would that get started? How bizarre.

  3. All you need now are Ug Boots. I often do my early morning shopping in my pyjamas.

  4. I'd want her to show me what she looked like without the pyjamas - just by way of comparison, you understand.

  5. Ruthie - anything on a girl looks good. Who cares where it is?

    Lord Nazh - that's too much like common sense, man.

    Colin - are you for real?

    Mr. E - just choked on my whisky.
