Snuggies Have Jumped The Shark
When a company like Snuggies starts to think of itself as more than just a late night impulse buy and instead a fashion dynasty to be reckoned with, then it is time to dump said company. Hello closet full of Crocs. Snuggies though has decided to not take my advice and instead thrust itself upon the tents of Fashion Week in New York with their brand new line of ready to wear Star Wars robes and Jedi memorabilia. Oh, wait, it is just Snuggies. It just looks like Star Wars. I love their new leopard and zebra striped lines. This is for when you are going over to a friends house and think you might need to spend the night. Wear it over your evening wear and if you are too drunk to drive, no problem. You brought your own blanket. Whoo hoo!
i work very hard to come up with product ideas for the good folks to buy. it's not always rocket science.
ReplyDeletejump in folks and get your slice of the american pie.
LOL @ the fashion show. While I'd NEVER get one, my Pomeranian definitely will for winter!
ReplyDeleteAgreed with QS's last sentence. Wish I had a slice!
The horror! Make it stop!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see them give Oscars to the "actors" in the Magic Bullet infomercials. Now they are true thespians.
Oh, my first thought regarding that first picture with the semi-fainting models (do they need to eat?) was that that kind of living room houses the exact kind of people who will actually buy a Snuggie :-(
ReplyDeleteSnuggie: The official uniform of depression. Can't take credit for that gem. I heard it on the Bob and Tom show.
ReplyDeleteHey! I need one of those while I watch the Home Shopping Network. . .
ReplyDeleteLOL at the semi-fainting models!
Very cult fashion forward. I'll bet Tom had ordered he and KatiE matching leopard print ones.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is aimed at the editor of Vogue France for dinner wear.
ReplyDeleteTo RedHotPepper - thanks for sharing that gem. Now I can easily articulate why snuggies is the outfit of choice for many this last horrible year... millions were - and are - depressed!
ReplyDeleteOh man.. I love my snuggie, but I would never wear mine out and about..
ReplyDeletecrap.. guess this means I have to give up snuggie..
BUT WAIT! I am good to go, mine is a Slanket!
I don't get the whole clothes for dogs thing but I would TOTALLY buy a leopard pring Snuggie!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a couple of hours and now I'd like to add: "leopard pring"?
ReplyDeletei hate to say this, but those couple of years that i had to use a wheelchair, one of these things might have been nice.
ReplyDeleteand if they ever make an electric (as in HEATED, you dirty minded people!) version, i might have to consider one!
oh, Karmen~
ReplyDeleteMy husband hates it when I get on my magic bullet kick. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to hate the bald guy.
"MMM!!! NACHOS!!!" wtf ever, bald guy! But I got to admit, they are entertaining.
Has anyone seen the youtube video for snuggies = cult?? I'll try to find it- it's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd I gotta agree with Hariett; I'd love a leopard pring/print snuggie. ;)
