English/Irish:pyjamas American:pajamas

The Pajama Game is the next Glencullen Musical, will be on first week of May 2011. 
I realised when adding update to website that pyjamas is one of _those_ words (different AmeriEnglish spelling). See: http://www.gmds.ie/ I need cute & sexy pictures of pyjamaed people singing or dancing or on strike or in factory or all 4 at the same time.


From the Persian پايجامه IPA: /pɑjʤɑme/ meaning leg garment via Urdu/Hindi पैजामा.
Pajamas/pyjama - A lose fitting garment consisting of trousers and a jacket, worn for sleeping or lounging, often used in plural.
Hindi paijama - loose fitting trousers, from Persian pai- leg + jamah – garment
