[...] Pajama experiment results: 9/10 speakers surveyed sleep naked “It was not all love and sunshine. Some people avoided me like the plague. They would cross the room if they saw me, wouldn’t make eye contact. For one semi-uncomfortable session I sat in between 2 of these people. Not only would they not speak to me, they subtly turned their bodies away from me. I was officially shunned.” [...]

Actually, Dan….I don’t wear pajamas to bed. Way too restrictive. I actually have “dress pajamas” that I wear to events…and more, shall we say “broken in” pajamas that I wear around the house.

So the question is do you get back in bed with the pajamas that you wore to the conference room/seminar or did you have a “sleeping” pair?

I’m not a PJ kind of guy, usually just wear the boxers to bed, I sleep way too hot. I double the comfortor onto my wife who also has an electric blanket going. Often times I’ll throw back the blanket too…

Reminds me of my son, now 26, when he was at LSU. Used to buy these very colorful pajamas to wear to first class of the day. Always put a big smile on my face!

Wow. What an amazing lesson and courageous thing to do. Reading the comments has been terrific too – I was blown away with Chris’ honesty. Saw this posted on Twitter and had to come read it. A worthwhile side trip!

[...] far outside my comfort zone, things not so far outside my comfort zone feel easier. For example, wearing pajamas to a conference has made the idea of simply attending a conference much, much easier. Jumping off a telephone pole [...]

Patty,
Love, love what you did.
When my daughter took HomEc (oops, “Fashion”, I mean) for the first time, pajama pants were an early project. That’s when we discovered that you can buy pajama (I love typing that word!) flannel WITH GLOW-IN-THE-DARK PATTERNS!!! While this may not be news for some people, it was a revelation for us. Just think about wearing pajamas like that in a dark conference room!

Way to GO!
yup.. MUCH like dying my beard purple!
(HUGE ego-challenges to wade through… mostly about how others would/might judge me … bwaaaa ha ha ha ha … That turned out backwards…)
It has been a blast, including the unknown people who Display their disapproval on their faces … the ‘known’ people who decide the: “if you can’t say something nice…” rule … apparently no longer applies…

And the other end of the spectrum which has ‘known’ people delighted … or even amazed that they are not so distracted as they thought they’d be …
and unknown people across All age ranges, going out of their way to chat with me … or compliment me … or even just plain notice me.
(suddenly I’m worth talking to, by the 18-24 age group!)

The net sum of my research: Most people look twice, then smile at a purple and white beard … (except on St Patricks day, when folks Steadly remarked … “Why Purple? Shouldn’t that be green?”)
And … being presented as out-of-the-ordinary … actually seems to make me Much more approachable!
