Any time you put on the Snuggie, you can expect pesky photographers to swarm after you. The problem for Snuggie Paparazzi is that if they get too close to the blanket with sleeves, they are flattened by the fleecy goodness that is the Snuggie. This is known in certain circles as the SnugField.
Case in point: Consider Joel, standing over his hapless photographer, doing his best Rio Statue routine in Snuggie and Shades (a lethal combo anywhere, especially indoors...you've been warned, Snuggie photogs).

Fortunately for this prostrate shutterbug, Joel kept his Complimentary Booklight (i.e. Snuggie Light Saber) holstered.
Here's a friend of mine, Marcus, relaxing in his Red Snuggie.

April 21st was a historic date for Mr. Snuggie Sightings. It was my first personal Snuggie Sighting that didn't involve a pre-planned outside Snuggie Event. This was entirely Snuggie random.
I stopped by Marcus' house last night and when I came through the door, there sat Marcus in his Red Snuggie. He didn't know about my Snuggie website. So I captured this personal Snuggie Sighting with his permission. I also caught word that Marcus' wife has been known to wear her Snuggie outdoors, and her son is also Snuggie fan. A true Snuggie family, if ever there was one.
Who needs an Xbox 360 or Wii when you have a Snuggie, a groovy Pineapple chair, and some fresh tunes? Any time is the right time for Snuggie Musical Chairs. Look at all the blur and commotion in the background, but notice how the Snuggie is in crisp focus (even the camera's eye is drawn to the sheer awesomeness of the Blanket with Sleeves!)

Summer vacations are quickly approaching, and Snuggie SuperStar, Kristina reminds everyone to...PACK THE SNUGGIE!!!
(I am actively seeking Snuggie Sightings at familiar landmarks - send in your Landmark Snuggie Sightings, photos and/or videos)

Kristina recently went to Vegas, and she packed the Snuggie, which is always a good idea. The Snuggie brought Kristina good luck at the slots, and kept her warm and cozy on the airplane. She could even rest comfortably on those torture racks known as airport benches, all thanks to her Snuggie.
Today is Snuggie Friday, so keep your eyes out for Snuggie Sightings in the Workplace.
Sarah received a Snuggie for her birthday last month. She quickly found that if she wore the Snuggie, she could get away with anything. Consider this:
[Photo not recovered: Sarah can now chat on the phone all day, and leave trash laying around her cube. No worries - the Snuggie is going to transport her to a corner office soon...That is actually wrapping paper from her newly unwrapped Snuggie. I'm sure she's picked it up by now.]Sarah can now chat on the phone all day, and leave trash laying around her cube. No worries - the Snuggie is going to transport her to a corner office soon...That is actually wrapping paper from her newly unwrapped Snuggie. I'm sure she's picked it up by now.
Sarah loves her Snuggie so much, she plays 'Walk Like an Egyptian' every hour, on the hour, and struts through the cube farm. The Snuggie livens up any workplace, and chases the chill from those pesky industrial grade air conditioner blasts.

NOTE TO WORLD: This is not a Designer Zebra Snuggie. This is called a dress. Photo courtesy RadarOnline.com.
I get the occasional Tweet or email with people sending me pictures of potential Snuggie Sightings, asking me to confirm or deny whether the wearer is donning a Snuggie, or simply wearing some lame thing like a bathrobe. I had to put this query out there for the world, so that we are all clear.
Here's an example Tweet from a much closer call. Here's the TwitPic Link to see what could be a Black Plush Snuggie being worn backwards on a sidewalk. I went back and forth on that one in the Tweet Stream of that conversation, giving the pros and cons for each side. I think I decided that particular TwitPic was not a Black Plush Snuggie.
I'm much more confident in my assessment of the Drew Barrymore Designer Zebra Snuggie Sighting FAIL. Keep sending in your potential Snuggie Sightings. That's what I'm here for. Happy to serve the Snuggie Nation.
The 3rd Annual Washington Post Peep contest - aka Peeps Show III - narrowed their original list of 1,100 gooey submissions to a final 40. You can go here to view the 40 Finalists.
A Snuggie Book member alerted me to entry #39.
[Photo not recovered: The Entry that Should Have Won. Peeps Snuggie Sighting while watching As Seen on Peep TV.]The Entry that Should Have Won. Peeps Snuggie Sighting while watching As Seen on Peep TV.
'As Seen on Peep TV' by Sarah Kohari and Erin Mastrangelo of Washington. "It started with a Snuggie obsession, really," writes Kohari. "The idea was to somehow get a peep into a Snuggie in a realistic way, such as lying on his couch reading a book like the happy folks in the infomercial." Hint: There are 16 as-seen-on-TV products in the diorama, including a ThighMaster and a Cash 4 Gold kit.'
Entry #1 on the slideshow was the eventual winner. There are no Snuggies in that entry, however, so I think an investigation is in order. Perhaps next year there will be Designer Snuggie Peeps and they'll take home the prize for Snuggie Nation.
Hello, class. Say hi to Tammye and Holly. They're two warm and cozy teachers from Battle Ground Academy.
Tammye and Holly show True Snuggie Grit.
Holly writes: 'The day before Spring Break at our school is called "Grit Day." As in, how much Grit do you have regarding what you wear that day. My co-worker and I wore our snuggies!!!!'
I presume this last day before Spring Break was on a Friday. My Snuggie Sense is tingling. I think Snuggie Friday is going to be the new Casual Friday. If so, we can credit Tammye and Holly, as well as Sharne and her Snuggie Friday Rap - Check it Out.
Since the San Francisco Chronicle called SnuggieSightings.com the 'Snuggie Information Clearinghouse' (I may get that Snuggie Pulitzer yet), I need to get all 'Information Clearinghousey' in here as it relates to Baby Snuggie and all the blog posts bouncing around now.
May I SNUGgest that this is NOT Baby Snuggie?
Snuggie is a Blanket with Sleeves. Pictured is some thing called a Peekaru by a company called TogetherBe. I have no plans for a PeekaruSightings.com website, because those will be minimal, and possibly criminal.
So here's what's going on with this. Seems like there are companies out there trying to latch onto the Snuggie's popularity (imagine!) to try and promote their own product. Or perhaps someone is crying Slanket Tears out there and trying to make Snuggie look bad (impossible). Regardless, the Peekaru is not coming from the Snuggie people. Snuggie for Babies, this is not.
Think about it. Everything Snuggie does has to do with a Blanket with Sleeves. As I've said before, 98.9% of the comedy of the Snuggie is from the Elbow to the Wrist of those oversized sleeves (that's why no one can keep their arms down when wearing a Snuggie, which led to the coining of the term 'Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome').
I have NO idea what a Baby Snuggie may actually look like, but I know this ain't it. So I've noticed all these posts and blogs throwing this thing out there as 'Baby Snuggie' and one thing leads to another and now it is being reported as fact.
Can we all now agree that this thing is not Baby Snuggie and move on? And I do not know if the Snuggie people are going to even make a Baby Snuggie or not, but at the rate that this Peekaru thing is being spread, it seems something is in the air. We'll wait and see.
I happened upon a website the other day that belonged to Cate Scott. She's a professional photographer, and based on her Snuggie pictures, I asked her if I could post one on this website.
Rylan - The Snuggie Giant.
She has graciously agreed. There are a couple more great shots of this Snuggie Kid...nay Snuggie Giant (Rylan), who is showing just how true the One-Size-Fits-All claim of the Snuggie commercial really is.
Perhaps it is a picture such as this that inspired the Snuggie People to invent the Snugglette.
