On Tv Soaps They Wear Robes, Have You Noticed?
December 11th 2006 03:35
[B]Before sex, after sex, [/B]
before sleep after sleep in the shower out of the shower, they’re always wearing robes…I think I’ve even seen this phenomenon take place in the “by the pool scene”.
Who does this? I mean really!
Now I know that the tv soap isn’t real.
What NO! I hear you gasp in exasperation.
I discovered this truth recently while simultaneously becoming addicted to the soap The Young and the Restless.
It’s true – I’m not ashamed anymore.
I watch with the sound down and I understand what is going on perfectly.
It’s all in the facials – and it’s best enjoyed that way.
So back to robes.
What’s with them? AND WHY OH WHY are they silk – the silk robes only get ‘cracked’ on special occasions in real life – and like I said – who really wears them anyway?
A silk robe is that gift you give your mum with long sleeve jim jams so that she can feel fancy – sure she’ll never wear either gift, but at least it made her feel nice to get them.
A terry-towelling robe on the other hand, is more realistic. These are functional – they actually absorb moisture (therefore would be realistic in a shower scene)…they also keep you warm. I’ve never seen a terry robe in a soap!
I also believe in winter robes …I never wear mine but sure if I was in the alpine region at bed time; you never know! What’s wrong with wearing one of these? Is it the bulkiness?
Maybe that’s the answer for all of the above.
Have I cracked this case wide open?
The stars have to look sexy but not too sexy – hence the robe.
I still don’t believe in it.
I’m hanging out to see someone get out of bed with shorts and a t-shirt –and NO not one of those oversized business shirts that make you look sexy! Just an old shirt that was hanging around will be fine.
Just a little bit of realism wouldn’t hurt…do you agree?
Or have I just missed the point completely?
Maybe silk robes do exist in the real world…are they a part of your world?

I know what you mean, I've noticed that before and thought it was ridiculous. I really only wear one in winter to feel nice and snuggly and to keep warm. Mind you, I spose that if they didn't wear them then we would see a lot more nudity. That could have some good aspects as well as some scary ones...

I'm sitting here typing on my laptop, snuggled up nice and cosy in my terry-towelling bath robe (it's cold tonight).
No, it's not my "after sex" bath robe, nor my "before sex" bath robe (my bloke's at work). this is my "give me comfort over silk anytime" bath robe. And I love it.
I don't think I'd wear it if I was on one of those US soaps, though ... I think it's more 'Home and Away' personally.

(sorry to all the sexy school marms out there).
Andrea: great point about the "home and away style robe" I guess you can class a soap by the quality and degree of functionality of the robes....and even the length!
I think I may start a list!

If silk robes are not part of your world, you could easily make them part of your world.
They're not a bad idea in my opinion. They might even be sexier than nakedness.
