Nightgown advice please (Metlakatla, Thorne Bay: rent, work, move)

[Metlakatla]

well I'm sure y'all know by now just how good I am at taking advice but it still doesn't stop me from asking for it.

I am in need of a theoretical fetching flannel nightgown for a theoretical situation...

so let's play a theoretical game of "let's pretend".

Let's pretend that Metlakatla has an actual life off the internet and is in reality an engineer magnet and that one of the 40 men she lives with is an engineer with rather interesting brown eyes. Now the last time this happened to her, she had to move quite a ways away to lose the engineer, though he still kinda followers her around sometimes. But that's beside the point; we are talking fresh engineer material here.

Of course, living with 40 men and all, Metlakatla can't very well be wearing anything even marginally questionable, theoretical or otherwise. But while I'm on break I would like to pick up something...pretty. Metlakatla can do pretty pretty well, even if I do keep slipping back and forth from first to third person. Perhaps that is why engineers are so attracted to me, because Metlakatla is anything but a linear thinker and you all know what they say about opposites...

so...what kind of flannel nightgown do you guys find the most "fetching"? I'm thinking not so terribly granny and of course we've already covered the declasse aspect. I'm thinking something in a solid color with a bit of ribbon? Ya think?

OK, I promise I'm getting off the net now. Going to take a long drive to Thorne Bay or somewhere.

metla (your new nickname cause I don't type and your name is to long )

we must abandon the flannel and go with big t-shirts with football teams which you will rotate based on who is playing that week
one of a couple things may happen
those that are big football fans will use this as an icebreaker to chat
those that are not a fan of the one you are wearing may try to get the shirt away from you and we never know what that may lead to

[Metlakatla]

Football shirts??!!!??? The last time I wore one of those it was by accident and the shirt belonged to the last engineer. It was a Seattle Mariners shirt. They were having a bad season I guess and this guy looked at my shirt and said "Wow, it's too bad about those Mariners this year", and I said, " I don't know, it's Dan's shirt, I'm just wearing it today and I really don't know anything about football". This really did happen. I am such a loser.

uh...get the shirt away from me....now there's a thought...my mind is going to be in the gutter the rest of the day now...

what are we going to do with you

ok I am not a football expert by any means lol I said no to tickets for this monday nights game against the colts because I need the orange line that is on the screen and the nice men telling me whats going on
but
1. never tell one man that the shirt you are wearing is another mans. there is this weird man thing they will wonder "now what went on that she had to put on his shirt"
2. the proper response to "Wow, it's too bad about those Mariners this year" is "yup rough season thats how I got this shirt for a discount" (bonus it will show you are a thrifty shopper)
Actually if I find myself in a football type discussion I have found "hmmm" "Oh I see" "you are so right" is about all you need to respond tee hee

if you really think the football shirts aren't your thing then go with t-shirts from different states someone is going to know someone that lives or lived there and cha ching your in a conversation which is the main point now

Oh I know, but the shirt belonged to the man I was living with/in love with and I wasn't on the prowl at the time. Totally agree about the you're so right thing.

I actually went to a superbowl game once. Don't ask.

Metla,
Please say you are not serious about a flannel gown even in a hypothetical situation!!

Sweetie, if you are trying to entice a man flannel rarely works.
You shouldn't have to worry about being cold if the situation develops correctly.
So let's 86 the flannel gown, shall we???

And don't worry about speaking in third person. The Goddess does it all the time and she is perfectly sane, more or less. *not laughing*

[Metlakatla]

Goddess, I am quite serious.

Going shopping now.

[Metlakatla]

Will post flannel lingerie pics later today
