There's been a lot of activity and updates over at SnuggiePubCrawls.com. San Antonio, Texas hosted their first Snuggie Pub Crawl last night. For tonight, both San Diego and Minneapolis, MN are Snuggie Pub Crawling. Tomorrow night will be the second Nashville Snuggie Pub Crawl, which I plan to attend. So check out SnuggiePubCrawls.com for the latest news and updates.
Also, there are many more cities lining up to do crawls in the coming weeks, such as Louisville and Cincinnati.
It was bound to happen. They are launching a website, so that you can stay connected as well as hear their latest news. They have a big radio interview happening this evening, as well as another Snuggie Pub Crawl happening soon in Cincinnati. So check out SnuggieShuffle.com - the Official Site of the Original Snuggie Pub Crawlers from Cincinnati.
The Snuggie train appears to be picking up steam. Last Friday, the Snuggie made an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. I am now seeing a lot of Tweets and buzz over the Internet about the Snuggie making an appearance on the Tyra Banks show. We'll see if that happens. I wonder if there will be more Leopard and Zebra Snuggie Sightings?
I've got the Tivo set and will be posting clips and pics once/if this happens. And if I had to guess, I would say that Tyra will wear a Designer Snuggie - likely the Leopard Snuggie, but perhaps Zebra.
I even saw tweets about someone's Snuggie song perhaps being aired on Tyra, so there may be a Snuggie Song getting ready to be launched. We shall see. I'll keep you posted. And I'm glad to see Tyra trying to shake those off-base accusations that she copies Oprah. :)
Be sure to check out Dr. Blogstein's on 3/31/2009 at 8:00 PM EST. I will be one of the guests on the Radio Happy Hour, along with Than Merrill, former NFL Safety and Current Star of "Flip This House" on A&E, and Dennis Palumbo, psychotherapist to the stars.
From time to time I like to write about the actors and actresses who starred in the Snuggie Commercial (now commercials - thanks to the Snugglette and Designer Snuggie). So tonight I bring you a fun fact about Snuggie Lady Jane DeNoble:
What does the Jonas Brothers, News Anchor Martha McCullum, Actress Jillian Armenante, Tara Reid, American Idol's Constantine Margolis, Former Yankees Shortstop Bucky Dent, Yankees Bench Coach Don Zimmer and the Snuggie Lady Jane DeNoble all have in common?
They all hail from Wyckoff, NJ
...and now you know, the rest of the Snuggie story. There must be something in the water in Wyckoff.
Update 3/11/09 - Harpo Productions has had the YouTube videos removed. They were not mine, I simply embedded them on this site, but the source files were from someone else on YouTube...so if you want to see Oprah in a Snuggie, I guess you'll have to find a re-run...or you could just watch out for Tyra in a Snuggie, which is due to hit any day now.
You will have to settle for my original description of what you could have seen in the video, if Harpo Prods hadn't brought down the copyright hammer.
Oprah chats with Mr. Snuggie, Scott Boilen, about the success of the Snuggie. The panel on Oprah's show, which included Tyler Perry in a Zebra Snuggie, seemed to doubt that people would wear Snuggies out in public, to theaters, etc.
Although Scott didn't point Oprah's viewers to SnuggieSightings.com (sigh) for proof of Snuggies in Public, he did mention that people are out Pub Crawling in Snuggies. For more on Snuggie Pub Crawling, check out SnuggiePubCrawls.com (which is on the 1st Page of Fark.com right now and getting slammed with traffic). They also discussed people wearing Snuggies in theaters. Here is a pic of a Snuggie wearer at an opening night midnight screening of the Watchmen movie. Our first Snuggie Sighting in a theater is here.
It now officially does not matter that warm weather is fast approaching. The Snuggie is going to do just fine through Spring and Summer, thanks to someone whom you may already know...Oprah, a.k.a. O. (You know you are big when you can be referred to as the first letter of your name...this isn't quite as 'Artist Formerly Known as Prince / Funky Hieroglyphic' big, but 'tis big enough for your own TV Show, Magazine, etc.)
Tyler Perry in the Designer Zebra Snuggie and Oprah in the Pink Snugglette - Oprah Winfrey Show - Friday, March 6, 2009.
On Friday, March 6th, Oprah devoted time to the Snuggie. For the first time, new Snuggie lines made an appearance. These new prints are known as Designer Snuggies. Prints available are Leopard, Zebra, and Camel. And also Snugglettes, Snuggies for Kids - Check out Oprah in the Pink Snugglette. You go, girl! And notice how Tyler Perry can cradle his coffee cup because his arms are not restricted by a blanket.
Oprah, thanks to the Snuggie People, was able to give away Snuggies to the entire audience. I will have this video up at some point of the crowd's joyous reaction to the news. Snuggie = Mainstream.
It is getting VERY hard to keep up with the tidal wave of Snuggie news hitting right now. I guess they are not ones to sit back and relax. Just yesterday I announced the new Snuggie for kids, available in Blue and Pink. Today, I present to you...(Snuggie Drum Roll Please)...Designer Snuggie.
The Designer Snuggie is available in 3 different prints - Zebra, Leopard, and Camel. You'll also recognize some familiar faces in the new Designer Snuggie commercial.
Looking for Oprah? Here is all of the current Oprah Snuggie news on this site. Much, much more is coming, so check back soon.
Many of you hitting this site for the first time after hearing about SnuggieSightings.com on TV, radio, or reading about the site in print. I wanted to extend a warm welcome to each of you and highlight different areas you will want to be sure to visit.
First of all, SnuggieSightings.com is created with you in mind. It gives me no greater thrill than to help others be seen in Magazines, TV, and Newspapers. Our most recent Snuggie Sighting model to be featured in print is Brook, the Snuggie Wizardess in this week's Life&Style Weekly Magazine.
