Pyjama wearing women

I have been living in the inner city since this summer, and I have noticed a strange phenomenon that seems to have taken hold in Dublin 8. No, it’s not junkies wanting to syringe you or travellers riding around on there horse and carriage looking for scrap. Its people wearing their pyjama out doors!

No, they don’t just happen to be in their pyjamas and realise they have to go to the shop for some milk. They wear their pyjamas as a fashion statement. I don’t fully understand what it’s all about but what I have noticed is that it’s mainly the females that are the culprits. There is no age distinction but it’s predominately the over 45 and the under 16 that wear there bed attire outside. These pyjama wearing women wear normal cloths during the day, the women go and do their shopping and the young girls go to school. Once they return home after their daily work done they get straight into their pyjamas.

You may think, there is nothing wrong with this and that you often get into my pj’s early and vegetated in front of the TV. But what you don’t do it get into my pj’s at five o’clock!! It’s not even that they have any intention of staying in and watching the TV, the kids come home from school and get out of their uniform into their other uniform. They then hang out in gangs around street corners (in their pyjamas) or the younger ones play street games (in their pyjamas). You see the older ones in the shop and going for walks in their pyjamas!!

I remember when I was in Vietnam three years ago I stopped off in a place called Delat. Everyone was wearing pyjamas! In the restaurants, in the shops and the cinema! Apparently this is a uniquely asian thing but could this have really spread to Dublin?
Does anyone know what this is all about?
