has an interesting story to it. See, I needed some silk pajama bottoms for my hugh heffner costume this year. I had a smoking jacket, martini glass, black turtleneck.. no pajama pants. So after searching high and low I settled on my last choice, the ace in the hole.. Victoria's Secret.
So, me and my brother (I was visiting him for the weekend) show up at Vicky's and I corner a very helpful (and cute!) saleslady and explain my situation. She leads me over to a pajama set, quite nice really.. silk pants and a silk and lace halter top... Apparantly they didn't have anything luxurious that didn't come in a set. So, after hemming and hawing over what size might be viable, my brother asks... "So the 64,000 dollar question, can he try it on?" and the sales lady says, "Sure, just go in the back and one of the girls will help you out." to which I say "That'll provide them with infinite entertainment for the week..." to which she replies, "Not really. We get that all the time. It's no big deal."
At this point, me and my brother have to pick our jaws up off the ground. Who'd have thunk it? I figured if a guy had a propensity for frilly underthings, they probably wouldn't be prone to trying it on in a public store. But, we were wrong. So, lo and behold, we go to the back, another girl lets me into the dress room like it ain't no thang... They fit just fine and I bought the set.
So, following the costume party, I had no use for this rather nice, size medium, silk pajama/halter top set. It resides in my underwear drawer. My plan is that the next time I have a date spend the night and she asks if she can borrow something to sleep in (figuring on some boxers and a t-shirt or something), I can offer her the set. I'm sure that'll cause some more amusement.
Best 80$ spent on a costume in a long while...
