Round Table - The Blue Pajamas Affair or Why Are Solo's PJs Not Pretty?

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Okay, those pajamas are rather epic.  How many stories have referenced Illya's blue pajamas?  Sometimes just run of the mill, once in a while satin or silk, those pajamas are MFU lore and pure Kuryakin bliss.

The most memorable appearance is, of course, from the Deadly Quest Affair wherein Mr. Blue Eyes is kidnapped by the mean Victor Karmac.

Obviously Mr. Karmac didn't know how intoxicatingly attractive he was making our Russian by torturing our pajama clad hero, unbuttoning his shirt in the process and creating endless attempts to catch a little bit of skin in our screencapping and oggling of the fair haired one.

Eventually Napoleon rescues his partner and in the final scenes he is the one confined to the hospital bed.  His pajamas do not have quite the same impact, however, and we are left to wonder at the miscue from the wardrobe department concerning Mr. Solo's lackluster pajamas.

So, did the writers and director take advantage of us by leaving IK in those pajamas, unbuttoning the top and teasing us with what little we could see of his much sought after chest?  Did Napoleon get the short end of the pajama stick with the ones he wore at the end? And the most important question of all: Does Illya really sleep in blue pajamas or does he sleep in the nude?
I leave it to you my friends.
As always, stories related to this episode are of interest to all of us and links are welcome, as are your thoughts on blue pajamas.

I'm adding this little storybook from my Photobucket.  Sometimes I am amazed at what I do with my spare time.

Sometimes the simplest garment is the sexiest. Especially when it brings out Illya's blue, blue eyes.

That man had us no matter what he was wearing, just as Napoleon's girls can love him even in his white socks ;)
