What is the Fascination?

Posted by bec on Feb 13, 2008 in Blogosphere, Geekdom |

Let me just start off by pointing out that I was in a card shop today and was the only person in there not buying a Valentine. I think if you have left it to the last minute to buy a Valentine card then you clearly didn’t really want to get one… and haven’t put much thought into it. And the amount of men walking round with a dozen red roses was just awful. Men. A dozen red roses does not an impressed girl make. It just shows how unbelievably original you are.

But the popular holiday celebrated tomorrow is not the main theme of this post. No.

Do you remember before Christmas (all those hundreds of days ago (no wait it was about two months ago (hang on, that means we’re already (holy crap) 6 weeks into this year - where is the time going to?)))(shall I got back on point? (Yes) Okay) I had the splendid idea to do a few gift ideas… mostly as a blank blog space filler. Well, it turns out that may have been one of my better ideas just purely for the amount of traffic one particular post has been pulling in. Last month it was 67.9% of my search engine traffic came from a variation of the search of adult onesie pyjamas. This month so far it is 37.2%. I mean, I know they are cool and everything but what is the fascination? Why are so many people hunting for them (particularly on Google it might be noted). I mean, why? If you are one of those hunting for them, or have an idea anyway; please stop and tell me why? It’s becoming a thing I’ve started to ponder on while I’m at work. That’s how much it’s bugging me - it’s taking time away from the squirrel watching!

(Oh and to the person who has arrived here 4 times looking for pictures of penis rings - sorry, still none here)

Christmas in December.

My birthday in January.

And our anniversary in March.

Valentine’s Day is pretty much a non issue around here.

I don’t like red roses…they lack imagination.

Adult onesies, penis rings? Wow…who knew?! Shall I make you terribly green by telling you that I got a F & M hamper for Christmas? The Champagne and truffles one, from my parents. I wasn’t home so my neighbour had to take delivery - even better!! I’m saving the Champagne for when the Lil Fella arrives ;o)
Happy Thursday to you ;o)

Miss Britt - Valentine’s Day… grumble, whinge… I wish it were Friday already! It’ll be more special when you celebrate your anniversary because youwant to and are not made to feel like you have to be all hearts and flowers just because Hallmark tells you you should!

Hilly - Exactly! I pity the poor woman who gets a bunch of red roses on Valentine’s Day. Pity!

Penelope - I love love love it when you get a delivery of something fabulous and, damn, you’re not in and the neighbours have to take it in. It’s such a terrible shame! Happy Thursday to you too!

Avitable - Need? No. Want? Hell no.

The red roses have been done to death haven’t they? I prefer an ‘I Love You’ and a kiss. The best gift of all!

Selma - Oh yes, the words and a kiss to show they care- far more valuable than something that is going to dead in a weeek!

you know, i’m not sure about WHY we’re fascinated by onesies. perhaps it’s a medical condition?

but for anyone who came here as a result of searching ‘onesie pyjamas’ on google like i did, try American Apparel, or Toddy.

but yes, perhaps it’s a hankering for those good ol’ childhood days?

personally i don’t like the bumflaps. they weird me out.

Grace - I think you are right - it could be a childhood thing - the comfort and safety of them… Bumflaps are very very weird. Thank you for stopping by giving me an answer

Hi Bec
Adult onesies are fab, all my family wear them here in the UK during the winter, not in bed just to relax in after work for late nights in front of the TV.
Take a look at http://www.jumpinjammerz.com - an American company, they even gave them away to the celebs at the Oscars last year, the Hall of Fame with them modelling them is rather cute !
Enjoy, regards, Glyn

Glyn - Thank you for the tip! That is quite the excellent site! Holy Crap! That’s Greg Grunberg!
