By Emily Friedman, The Pajama Company Summer Intern
Hello everyone! I’m Emily and I’ll be hopping onboard with the Pajama Company as a second summer intern!
1. Describe your favorite pajamas.
My favorite pajamas are a pair of footies I got at a thrift store up in Vermont. They’re striped, rainbow, snowflaked and I’ve worn them absolutely everywhere (including a McDonald’s on the way home from practice for ski team!).
2. What would your perfect day look like?
My perfect day would involve brunch out (bacon and pancakes a must), a trip to the beach, and a good book.
3. What was the last book you read?
The last book I read was actually a collection of poems. The Continual Condition by Charles Bukowski. I highly recommend it as long as you have a strong stomach.
4. What song is currently stuck in your head
Birdy’s cover of Young Blood by The Naked and Famous. It’s become my summer anthem!
5. What youtube video are you watching over and over?
Simon’s Cat in the Box. I don’t think animation gets much cuter than this!
6. Winter or Summer?
That’s a tough choice. I’d probably go with summer just because of the sunny days.
By Cat Fish, The Pajama Company Director of Outreach
Hi Pajama Company Community!
My name is Cat and I am the newest addition at The Pajama Company. I am thrilled to be joining The Pajama Company because I share their philosophy that people should do (and wear) what makes them happy. What makes people happier than pajamas?
Editor’s Note: To help us get to know Cat, we asked her to answer a few very important questions.
1. Describe your favorite pajamas.
My favorite pajamas are the red and green plaid flannel pair I wear every Christmas. They are soft and cozy and remind me of eggnog and presents and being with family for holiday celebrations. Sometimes I wear them other times of year just to feel festive!
2. What would your perfect day look like?
I would sleep in, drink a big cup of coffee (or two) and eat brunch with friends all wearing our pajamas. We would venture out and discover a new place (right now I’m exploring different neighborhoods of New York City). Later on, I would take a nap with my cat and watch an episode of my favorite new show, Girls. At night, my friends would try an ethnic restaurant, see some live music, and end the night hanging out on a rooftop overlooking the city. I would, of course, finish the day back in my cozy pajamas reading a good book as I drift off to sleep. Sounds like a good day to me!
3. What was the last book you read?
I’m currently reading Do Something That Matters by TOMS founder, Blake Mycoskie (borrowed from fellow Pajama Company employee, Jilly Badanes). Blake writes about his journey founding and building TOMS, and gives advice and inspiration for people who want to change the world. That’s why I’m so proud that The Pajama Company has partnered with Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal and child health.
4. What song is currently stuck in your head?
“Dancing On My Own” by Robyn has been in my head all week. It’s on the playlist I’ve been listening to on the subway to work every morning, and it seems to sticks with me all day. Luckily, I love Robyn–so it’s actually a good thing.
5. What youtube video are you watching over and over?
Nothing makes me smile like a silly kitten video. This one is always on heavy rotation.
6. Winter or Summer?
Oh that’s tough, but I think I’m a winter gal. I love the holidays, skiing in fresh snow, and drinking hot chocolate by the fire. Pajamas always play a bigger role in winter too, which is just icing on the cake.
7. Stripes or plaid?
Both. At the same time 🙂
8. Where is your favorite place to wear pajamas, outside of your house?
I like to walk to my local coffee shop wearing my pajamas on weekend mornings. If pajamas are cute enough, you can wear them anywhere!
