Not only is today Memorial Day, thanks to Twitter I've learned that today is also Towel Day. It occurs to me that not only is the Snuggie a Blanket with Sleeves, it is also a Wearable Towel. What better way to celebrate both Memorial Day and Towel Day than putting on the Snuggie - the Wearable Towel?
We've had several Snuggie Wearable Towel Sightings over the past few months. Here are some highlights...Happy Towel Day!

Of course, if I were to market a Wearable Towel, I'd think of a decent name ...like a Wowel.
Here is Marisa, in her Custom Snuggie as she heads out to a Snuggie Pub Crawl this weekend. (Yes, Snuggie Pub Crawls are still happening, despite the warmer weather).

I heard about this in the Twittersphere a while back and have been looking for the video. So here we have a guy at an Astro's game who fell asleep in a Snuggie. I have my doubts, but regardless, if you want to get on any camera, just put a Snuggie on. He rocks the Snuggie, and the Snuggie rocks us all.

Here's a variety show by the Bow High School Faculty Veriety Show. Mongo Snuggie Sightings in multiple colors, locations, and languages. There's even a TeleTubbies Snuggie Sighting about 2 minutes in. These guys have obviously had fun with their Snuggies, their Green Screen, and their Groovy Video editing software.
Why were my teachers never this cool?
Here's an earlier video which goes into the origins of what this was all about. This sets up the cental question 'What would happen if the Bow High School faculty adopted the Snuggie as a uniform?' I can tell you what would happen...sheer fleecy awesomeness would ensue (and ZERO kids would drop out...I'm just sayin'). So bear with this first video - the first minute or so starts a tad slow, but it gets pretty awesome within 2 minutes
Nice work, Bow High School. May I SNUGgest that you change your school mascot to the Snuggie?
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.
This picture encapsulates what SnuggieSightings.com is all about. A picture is worth a thousand words, and there\'s some things you should not do in a blanket.
Here is Jackie O from the Kyle and Jackie O Show - Australia's #1 Radio Show. This pic came from TwitPic, where she says 'Just got sent a Snuggie, am predicting this will be fashion's hottest item. It's a blanket with sleeves.' Snuggie is now hitting Australia big, and Jackie O is going to be right. It will be the hottest fashion item for Australia, just like it is in the U.S.

Here are some useful links for our Australian Snuggie friends:
Snuggie Pub Crawls - They have swept the United States, with a crawl happening today 5/21 in Madison, Wisconsin and another on 5/23 in Rapid City, South Dakota. There are Snuggie Pub Crawls scheduled well into June, and we are in the Northern Hemisphere where it is getting quite warm. There are also crawls scheduled for this fall (New Orleans, and Atlanta soon to be added to the list). There's also a Snuggie Pub Crawl Blog for updates and news items.
Thanks to a Facebook friend, Susan, for being my eyes for this Snuggie Sighting from the recent Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. Bay to Breakers is an Annual Street Race, and there are side activities, costumes, etc. This year's event had a few warm and cozy additions to the roster:
