The Snuggie Lady
I was reading an awesome article from the Village Voice, declaring 2009 as the Year of the Snuggie. In said awesome article was a handy timeline for our friend, the Snuggie. One item in the timeline was the Snuggie Lady, Jane DeNoble, appearing in the Apple Harvest Day parade in Martinsburg, West Virginia on October 17. Here’s a belated pic from that event.
You can learn more about Jane at her website – JaneDeNoble.com.
If you are experiencing Snuggie envy, due to Jane’s fabulous Custom Snuggie that she’s rocking, you can go get your own…available in Pink and Black
How Snuggie Sightings Began
I recently wrote up how this site began, since I get that question a lot. You can go to my website devoted to Social, Viral, and Search Marketing – EngageMentality – to learn about the beginnings of SnuggieSightings.com.
New Orleans Mardi Gras Snuggie Sighting – Backward Snuggie
It seems everyone wants to stake their claim to Snuggie history. There is something to be said in being first related to the Snuggie. Well, apparently a New Orleans Mardi Gras Snuggie reveler saw the post about NickNock in St. Louis, sporting their Snuggies and Beads. Allen sent in these pics, claiming that they are from February 20, 2009 – during the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.
Allen wanted me to set the record straight, that he and his friend Eric, in the red Snuggie, were the originators of this idea a (and I quote): “full day before, on February 20, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisisana (his spelling). I have attached a few photos of our snug-stoumes (again, his spelling) from that night on Burbon (once again, his spelling). We would like the record corrected.” (that must have been SOME party going down on Bourbon Street).
So Allen, I have corrected the record, giving you your due. Now please put that Snuggie on correctly. For further enlightenment related to the Backward Snuggie, please see Snuggie PSA – Friends Don’t Let Friends Wear their Snuggie Backwards and Backwards Snuggies – Stemming the Tide…the life you change may be your own.
Congrats on making Mardi Gras history. I’m sure 2010 Mardi Gras is going to have a sea of Snuggies.
