Would you wear a onesie? outside? To a sporting event?

Forever Lazy: Is an adult onesie the new Snuggie



OK, people. I think we're taking comfort a bit too far here.

First it was the Snuggie, essentially a blanket with sleeves. Lazy? You bet. But not quite as bad as adult-sized onesie pajamas.

Enter Forever Lazy, a company that makes exactly that. The "full-body lazy wear" is quickly becoming one of the most-talked-about items of the holiday season, partly because singer Fergie is apparently getting one for everyone on her shopping list.

Forever Lazy has a TV commercial (just like the Snuggie) that features oh-so-comfortable customers wearing the product at a sporting event (before-game tailgating included), sleeping in front of the TV and reading in easy chairs. "Hands and feet free," the on-screen text says. The commercial points out that the garment has zippers that allow easy access during trips to the bathroom.

This is a slippery slope, comfort lovers. And if it doesn't stop here, these could be the top-sellers for Christmas 2011.

4. You guys have been bashing Obama for 2 years. Give it a rest

[AngryAmish]

17. I'm kinda sad that one got removed.

It was a nice distillation of what is going on around here.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. I was surprised it go removed. It was against my thread but still I would allow it to stay.

[readmoreoften]

23. So you admit that it is your intention.

It's fine if no one knows what my original comment was. You know what it is.

[readmoreoften]

25. Isn't it against the rules to call critics of Obama "Obama bashers"?

Why can't you accept legitimate criticism of your favored candidate? Why can't you reply with substantive responses to such criticism? Why are you threatened by it?

[Liberal_in_LA]

26. Not threatened by it. Chill out!

[AngryAmish]

2. That is footie pajamas, not a onesie

This is a onesie.

[gateley]

6. That's a onsie on a cutie! nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

7. u r right

[gateley]

10. Are they called footie PJ's even without feet? I thought footie pj's were like the

union jack things.

(I can't believe we're discussing this. :7)

[AngryAmish]

14. Ah, yes. You are right. Just pajamas, not footies

my mistake. It is just I am about waist deep in kiddie clothes right now and I broke out the onesies for the next tot this week...

[gateley]

3. I'd love one of those - but wouldn't wear it outside. Wonder if we'll see others doing it, though.

[enlightenment]

12. My students.

They already wear their flannel jammies and fuzzy slippers to class . . .

I think I'll go stock up on binkies and hand them out to those who show up wearing these things.

:(

[Liberal_in_LA]

16. have you seen those pajama bottoms that are printed to look like blue jeans?

There is a TV commercial, woman wearing them. Printed with pockets and rivets... look just like jeans.

[enlightenment]

39. Not yet. I'm sure I will soon . . .

x(

[gateley]

19. Wow - a far cry from my Catholic school uniform! We'd get in trouble if

we wore the wrong color socks!

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. I had to wear dress or skirt to school, no pants!

[gateley]

28. I remember those days. A couple of brothers I knew came up from Berkeley and

went to the local public high school. They had hair down to their shoulders. One of them was called out in study hall "miss, you can't wear pants to school". :7

[enlightenment]

40. I remember picketing outside my middle school

to be allowed to wear bell bottom pants - not jeans, of course. Up to that point girls could only wear dresses or skirts, no pants. We won! The following week I wore my favorite pair of purple and pink paisley bells. They had a zipper up the bottom of the leg that enclosed an additional 6 inches of fabric - making the bell the approximate diameter of Jupiter . . .

Made it to lunch, then unzipped the extra fabric in the lunch room. Unfortunately, I did it before I had fetched my tray of mystery meat, boiled veg, and chocolate milk.

Of course the giant bells wrapped themselves around my ankles like kudzu and I went arse over tea-kettle (mystery meat, by the way, is astonishingly resilient - it bounced, intact, at least three or four times before landing almost at the feet of the teacher on lunch-room duty . . .)

I suppose I shouldn't complain about pjs and fuzzy bunny slippers . . . :)

41. They had that rule at my school in the 1965-- sort of

Girls could wear long pants, if they wore a dress or skirt over them. I remember looking at the girl sitting next to me who was dressed like that, and thinking how odd it looked. By the next year, the school district agreed to drop the dress/skirt requirement and allowed girls to wear long pants without further embellishment.

[blondeatlast]

33. Wow, the school allows that? I see adults doing it now and I'm appalled.

Oh, and will you tell those damn kids not to walk on my lawn on their way home from school? :rofl:

I guess I'm getting old (but I HATE that trend, especially when adults do it!)

[enlightenment]

38. It's college. No dress code as long as they're more or less

'decent'.

[MadHound]

5. I did see a Snuggie at a college football game,

At least it was in the proper team colors. So yeah, I imagine that there will be people wearing these out in public. But then again, people have been wearing PJ's out in public for years as well.

:shrug: Meh, nothing to get worked up over.

[hlthe2b]

8. Sunday mornings are full of pajama bottoms and slippers...

if you go early to Starbucks or the grocery store nearby. I certainly don't dress up and a baseball cap hides my "bed head" but, sheesh, I do at least get dressed & swab a bit of deodorant on... even when I am just going out to walk the dog. :shrug:

[MineralMan]

9. Only if it has a drop seat.

:rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

11. Does it have feet? After a few beers I might consider it.

[hlthe2b]

13. Yeah, you'd think if they were going to go that far, they'd add the feet...

I would wear those, safely tucked into my bedroom, hidden from the rest of the world. LOL (but never outside)

[Erose999]

15. This is nothing new... coveralls have been around for years.

Usually worn by tradesmen like mechanics and such. And astronauts.

[guitar man]

30. yep

I've got a pair of insulated coveralls I put on when the temp drops below 20. They keep me nice and warm :hi:

[TorchTheWitch]

47. one of my old roommates wore these for riding his motorcylce in the winter

I'll never forget that one night he came home after driving in the freezing cold and his hands were so frozen inside his gloves he couldn't get his key out to open the door or get his helmet off, and he stood there banging on the door with his helmeted head so someone would let him in. I had to get his helmet, gloves and everything else off till he thawed out. Worst part was he didn't take a piss before leaving work... don't ask.

21. Ye gods that's awful!

I feel weird going to the store in my gym clothes sometimes. I mean, it's not like I normally get dolled up to go out, but sheesh...things like this (and the snuggie, and adult footie pjs) creep me out.

[pokerfan]

24. D'oh!

[Arkansas Granny]

27. I'd never wear it outside, but that looks like something I'd love to wear at home.

I'd much rather warm just my body than warm the air in my house to the same comfort level. It would be easier to walk around in than a Snuggie.

[Truth2Tell]

29. ...

[Arctic Dave]

31. Back in my day they were called coveralls. Next question.

[qb]

32. Here's a onesie, and no, I wouldn't wear one to a sporting event.

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

44. Depends on the "sport", I guess.

But for events where children or Baptists attend, probably not.

[Buns_of_Fire]

34. So long as my defense attorney doesn't show up in one, I've no problem with it.

If they DO show up in one, I hope they have enough sense of court decorum to at least wear a tie.

Or at the VERY MINIMUM, at least no "My Pretty Pony" bedroom slippers.

[Beacool]

35. Attach a cotton puff to her backside and she would look like the Energizer bunny.

I wouldn't be caught dead in that snuggie. Yuck......

;(

[-..__...]

36. Try this one on for size...

37. And your arms need to be trapped inside... why?

:rofl:

[ChoppinBroccoli]

42. I Always Thought A Blanket With Sleeves Was Called............

...........a bathrobe.

[BlueJazz]

43. I think they are just an excuse to hide your Fat.

[0rganism]

45. wall-e human suits: tomorrow's fashions, today

[TorchTheWitch]

46. does it have a crap flap?

If not I wouldn't wear one, period.
