So I have come to realise through various conversations with inmates in other lockdown facilities that many of you have acquired new ways of dressing during this time.
It appears that for the women, many bras have been relegated to drawers to gather dust and the little mammary blessings have been allowed to swing free like their predecessors did during the Woodstock era. Now this might be all good and well, but I see lots of tears ahead when normality returns and bras become a real thing again.
It’s the same with day pajamas and night pajamas – women, how on God’s green earth do you even know how to differentiate between the two? Is it colour? Style? Fabric? At what point do you say ‘I would NEVER wear those to sleep in – those are strictly for day wear’? The bad news is that I see many people after lockdown being sent home from the office to change because the boss wasn’t quite in favour of your Mickey Mouse pajamas (sans bra of course) with the fluffy kitty-cat slippers!
And as for the men: Thankfully our videos our now switched off during work Skype meetings, but not until we first had to endure a couple of meetings with topless male colleagues. I wouldn’t have minded as much if any of them looked like the cute doctor on Grey’s Anatomy, but sadly it was not the case. What was even more alarming was the thought that because Skype calls are generally from the waist up, they could have been butt-naked and we would have been none the wiser. Sorry men-work-people, but go put a shirt on already!
