The Woman In Orange


Recently I bought myself a morph suit.  

You may ask yourself why and I probably won't be able to explain it exactly except to say that I have wanted for ever since I first saw one a few years ago.  

It arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago and of course I put it on with GREAT amusement.  I even posted a photo of myself on FB wearing it.  It drew a lot of comments, all very funny ones. 

I don't think amusement is a good enough word but it is the best I can come up with.

When I first bought it I asked if K and S would wear one each if I bought them one.  In different colours of course.  Maybe a blue and a green.  It would be very funny to just sit around the house in morph suits and have cups of tea.

Needless to say, they both answered with a resounding and non negotiable "NO".

At work they thought it was kinky.  I had to explain that a lycra, full bodied, bright orange morph suit is not kinky.  It is not even sexy.  It is FUNNY guys.  Do they not know the difference between kinky and FUNNY?  

They also thought I was weird.  

Anyway, I put it on and it made me laugh a great deal.

It made my husband laugh even more.

Even my son laughed.

Which was good.

Laughing is good.

But, what was kind of strange is they both thought my actions of buying the morph suit, wearing the morph suit and having a photo taking next to the pantry in the morph suit was completely normal behaviour for me

Hmmmm, is that a good thing?

hahahah it's a bit weird, but since you've wanted it for so long, i'm glad you got one!

Linda
That is you right?
OMG! ha ha

I think better looking on a woman than a man. Looks like you are ready for the Halloween ballet!

R. Jacob said...

I am assuming bathroom breaks are planned well in advance and as for the cup of tea, where does it go?
oh my!

Kat Mortensen said...

When you say, "At work", you didn't actually wear it there, did you?

Only you, Linda - only you!

Is it hard to breathe when your face is covered like that?

And how *DO* you drink tea?

What is the purpose of this suit, other than getting a laugh? Does it keep you warm? ha ha -- like you NEED that now in summer!

You are an amazing woman!

Everyone in my living room is wondering why I've been laughing for 5 minutes. This is hysterical---especially the part when you asked K & S if they wanted one. I love that you bought this & I love that you took a picture of yourself in it. You made my day.

Linda and her Twaddle said...

Gia: I may upload even more weird photos of me wearing it. Haha.

RJ: I think the outfit is for men as there is a very strangely place zipper on the inner thigh. I presume that is for a toilet stop. There is also a little zipped pocket on the ankle to put keys in - in case you want to go out in it.

Kat: No, I did not wear it for work but for a decent donation for the Oxfam Walk I would have no problem poncing around in it for a few hours - although the face would have to be uncovered. It is a bit stifling.

Cameron: Not hard to breathe but kind of hot and my eyelashes were too long and kept sticking to the fabric.

Ah, yes. The sipping of tea may be a bit difficult. You could cut a little hole around the mouth. But that all sounds a bit much.

What is the purpose? I have not yet got an answer. It's just an urge I suppose.

And, it is VERY hot in Summer.

Topiary: I bet you won't find this outfit in any costume museum will you.

Michiganme: I think you would really enjoy getting one yourself. In a nice pink maybe? You could then have your family laugh (or lock you up).

Karen ^..^ said...

Doesn't the ladies' costume have a zipper for bathroom breaks? Kind of unfair that the male morph gets to pee and the female has to hold it.

I think it's hilarious, and think you're adorable for posting the pictures.

Linda and her Twaddle said...

Karen: Women are obviously not as inclined to dress in stupid costumes like men.

The good thing about the photo is that nobody really knows it is me! Well, unless I said so.
