I joined just to respond to this...maybe I'll post an introduction sometime.
Anyway, yesterday I was finishing up a project that has deprived me of sleep for a while...I was eating dinner with a girl I know, and said that afterwards I would go home, put on pajamas, and collapse. She replied something like, "Yep...I have acquired nightgowns! They are silky!" I said, "So have I, actually." (She has seen me wearing skirts, and has even said of one of my skirts, "I may have to steal that one from you sometime." So this wasn't totally out of the blue.) She said at some point that this could confuse my suitemates, if they saw me walking to the bathroom, into thinking that I was a girl that I was having over. I said, "Yeah, I'm pretty hairy...I'm tall...but I guess all these cues would be outweighed by 'lacy pink nightgown.'" She said, "It's pink?" She didn't disapprove; she was just surprised.
Anyway, later that night, when I was leaving the computer lab where I did my work, I said good night to her (she was there studying or something.) She said the same, and as I was halfway out the door, added, "Enjoy your lacy pink nightgown." Maybe I wasn't embarrassed, exactly, just surprised she would say that. I kept walking out the door, but did overhear someone ask her, "Wait, what did you say?" I have no idea how she responded, although I think I'll ask her sometime. Eventually, I turned back, went back in, and said to her, "Oh, by the way, I plan to. Even though I may never hear the end of that now." I was laughing to myself all the way back to my room.
So maybe this isn't quite on the topic, since in fact, I wasn't embarrassed. I'm not ashamed to enjoy wearing a lacy pink nightgown (and I am wearing it as I type, by the way.) I love the way it feels, and yes, the way it looks.
