Pretty As A Peacock ~ Bedhead Pajamas
I had an interesting take I planned to use today in my blog about Bedhead Pajamas. It was all about how their prints never fail to conjure a memory of some meaningful moment. This is, in fact, exactly what occurred when I looked at the Royal Peacock cotton sateen pjs delivering this Fall. I recalled my visit to the Bronx Zoo last year with my toddler grandson. We were on our way to the monorail when a peacock, free ranging on the lawn, opened his tail in all its blue/green and golden splendor. Subsequently, I learned that peacocks are the only animal at the zoo allowed total freedom. They are not caged and wander the multiple acres of this urban park comfortably among the crowds. Much to my surprise, I discovered that they are very acclimated to the climate in the Northeast and can negotiate its vicissitudes with ease. This was a big plus for us as the peacocks were totally ok with a 2 year old at close range. Being the same height helped too.

I think this Bedhead PJ spoke to me because peacocks and their feathers have been on my radar, not only because of my family zoo memories but also because I am intrigued by the number of likes I have accumulated lately on Pinterest for this unusually evocative peacock feather bra. I am sure the eccentricity contributes to the allure, but clearly the brilliant colors elicit a visual dynamic to which people are drawn. The silky soft touch combined with the rich pigments have a visceral impact, difficult to articulate but easy to feel. Perhaps that is why this Royal Peacock pattern in Bedhead’s classic cotton sateen fall pajama collection is such a bestseller. Available in XS-XL, it is still the perfect year-round sleepwear for roaming freely around the house.
