Anne writes, "here is a snuggie sighting on board the Diamond Princess on Christmas Eve 2009 from Auckland to Sydney Australia" - What can I say? I ran across this going through old emails. After a long wait, here's your aquatic Snuggie Sighting, Anne!
Let's take a closer look at that Snuggie.
Megan and her brother Luke have been waiting patiently for their Snuggies to arrive. I've been following their Snuggie-less plight via Twitter. Well, today is their lucky day, and they cannot contain their Snuggie joy. From Melbourne, Australia, these are the first Snuggie Sightings submitted directly to me.
Congrats Megan. Your Snuggies are going to mean more to you than your movie collection behind you.
And I see from this final pic of Luke, that the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome has hopped the pond and is going to spread across Oz in no time.
The Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome is the curious condition of Snuggie wearers being unable to keep their arms down to their side.
Keep them coming, Australia (and America, Canada, etc.) More on upcoming Media and Book appearances forthcoming - all you've got to do is submit a Snuggie Sighting and you could be a star.
The Snuggie continues its march toward blanketing the earth...with sleeves, hitting the Southern Hemisphere in the midst of Winter. Here are some of the first Snuggie Sightings to come in from Down Under.

Australian Snuggie BMX... You can't do this in a blanket!
(how long until Snuggie BMX is an Olympic Sport?)
Regardless of where you might find yourself on this little marble in the universe which we call Earth, you can proudly wear the Snuggie out and about.
Be sure to check out Team Crikey for more Australian Snuggie Sightings. I hear they are going to be posting updates about further features and fleecy fun with the Snuggie. Someday soon in Australia, our friend the Snuggie is going to be bigger than Crocodile Dundee.
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.
Backwards Snuggie - The opening goes in the back. And here's a Public Service Announcement on this very important subject.
