I have a request from Life and Style Magazine, seeking a high-resolution photo of someone wearing a Snuggie. This photo will appear in an upcoming issue of their magazine. So strike your best Snuggie pose and capture the moment with your camera. Here are the requirements:
Submission Deadline is Midnight tonight
Photo must be 300 dpi resolution or greater
The model must be wearing a Snuggie
You agree by submitting your photo to appear on SnuggieSightings.com as well as potentially in Life and Style Magazine
You must provide the model's name and way that I can verify they have agreed to appear in the magazine and on this website
Simply email your picture by clicking this link. Attach your picture to the email, and be certain that the photo is at least 300 dpi. I cannot guarantee that you will be selected for the magazine article, since that is beyond my control, but there is a chance you'll appear on SnuggieSightings.com.
UPDATE: The call for photo submissions for the magazine is now closed. Of course, you can always still submit your Snuggie Sightings for consideration for publication on this site. Keep an eye out for next week's issue of Life and Style Magazine to see if you made the cut.

I heard through the grapevine that there was a Sports Snuggie Sighting on ESPN. Tony Kornheiser wore a Snuggie on last Friday's Pardon the Interruption (PTI) on Valentine's Eve. Through the magic of Twitter, Tony has blessed his appearance on SnuggieSightings.com.

They've had Snuggie Mermaids, Snuggie Scuba Divers, and a Wall-O-Snuggies. So when I was on Vimeo and saw something about Snuggie Silverton, I had to check it out. We finally have video from the Silverton Snuggie Giveaway. Check it out.
Yesterday we posted our first ever Snuggie Public Service Announcement (PSA) - Friends Don't Let Friends Wear their Snuggie Backwards. In that article, we chronicled the plight of Brian, who although well-intentioned, was wearing his Snuggie backwards. Here is how we last saw Brian, before his life was forever changed by the Snuggie PSA:

Brian was checking the site to see if his submission was accepted, not realizing the error of his ways. Fortunately he had his web cam set to capture the moment of his newfound fame.

Brian humbly turned his Snuggie around. His life is now whole. The lighting in his room even improved. See for yourself...
[Photo not recovered: Brian can now relate to the Snuggie Storm Trooper Slaying the Mime in the Box, since they both wear their Snuggies properly.

... and then there's this from the ATTRIBUTION FAIL file...
So, I ran across this lovely Snuggie hit piece by John Keller from WBZ. This aired on January 28, 2009. He shows a quick shot of SnuggieSightings.com and our very own Bridget at 1:35 in the video, but he doesn't mention the site. What's up with that? He mentions the Snuggie Drinking Game, but sums it up with "Don't Ask".
[Photo not recovered: Don't Blink. We appear at 1:35 in the video. And please don't click here. This is an image. This is not the video. I will be able to tell how many people click on this image, thinking it is the video, trying to play it. Don't be one of those people. The video is down yonder. (NOTE TO SELF: first time to use 'yonder' on this site...will not be last, unless hit by bus).]Don\'t Blink. We appear at 1:35 in the video. And please don\'t click here. This is an image.

Note to John Keller: If USA Today can mention SnuggieSightings.com (which their article ran the day before your news report. Gee, I wonder where you got your source material for this piece? I'm smelling a News Emmy, John), surely you can say these words. Repeat after me: 'SNUGGIE SIGHTINGS DOT COM' (then again, he did not attribute USA Today either...moving on...)
Being a good sport, I will now reference the source material. Be sure to check us out somewhere between 1:35 to 1:36 in this video. I feel like Navin R. Johnson after the new phonebook arrived. With exposure like this, there's nothing holding back SnuggieSightings.com now! Wahoo! Man, am I pumped! Roll Tape!
You cannot go bowling in a blanket. And the Snuggie goes well with the always fashionable pair of bowling shoes. The Snuggie Bowling League (SBL) has sprung forth onto the scene.

'We want to avoid any Steroid scandals. The SBL will be a clean sport. Since we never roll a gutter, thanks to our Snuggies, there will doubters. I hear the whispers all the time. 'Whisper whisper whisper. That cool girl in the Snuggie has to be juicing'. It is sad that the world cannot embrace the fact that the Snuggie can turn anyone into the next Earl Anthony. So that is why we require the urine samples before each frame. Not each tournament, but each frame. To silence the whispers. It is a small price to pay...It was juicing that killed the Slanket Bowling League. Those poor Slanket people.'

The Snuggie converts Storm Troopers from the Dark Side to The Force. The Mime is played by Paula. The Snuggie Storm Trooper, as usual, goes uncredited.

Connie's loving daughter, Caitlin, sent in this ultra high-resolution cell phone Snuggie Zombie Sighting. Caitlin and her friends have dubbed mom the 'Snuggie Zombie'.
I'm just guessing that it will be hard to find the Snuggie Zombie section at the local Hallmark Store, come Mother's Day.
"During my Pre-Snuggie days, which I refer to as my own personal Dark Ages, the book selection at the local Goodwill consisted of multiple copies of John Grisham, and that mostly complete Encyclopedia set that I've had my eye on for the longest time. Then, I wore the Snuggie on half-price day, on the Yellow Stickered items only, mind you. And BAM! Sally Jessy Raphael's book practically lept off the shelf into my unrestricted hands...And look, I get goosebumps just thinking about it, although I'm toasty warm in my Snuggie. Here's a Yellow sticker on the spine. Half off! Coincidence?
...and get this. The title of Sally's book - "Sally: Unconventional Success". You could say the same for what I'm wearing - "Snuggie: Unconventional Success". Coincidence? Goosebumps."
We left Emilio to his shopping, who ended up taking home that 1990 Brittanica set with only the letters 'Q' and 'L' missing. Whoa - 1990 was also the year Sally's book was published. Coincidence? Goosebumps.
NOTE TO THE YOUNG AMONG US: Sally Jessy Raphael is not a lesser-known Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. She hosted a talk show in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the book that Emilio is holding in his Snuggie hands currently ranks as the #2,573,380 best seller on Amazon.com. Sally's still making a cultural impact.
