But Robin, I didn't say I'd ever *seen* him in his pajamas.
I said that now I could picture him in them. A crucial distinction, though
perhaps one that fatally betrays my origins in some way that can only be
decoded in Britain.
It's possible that I simply have pajamas on the brain after writing about
Mr. Hefner, and being forced to look at ghoulish pictures of him in order to
describe his attire.
You're all in pajamas to me, from now on.
Rachel, amazed that "radical chic mau-mauing" made it over the pond
