"Designer" Snuggies. Crapping. You. Negative.

I don't know exactly how long this gift from heaven has existed, but I didn't hear about it until last night. When the commercial first came on, I thought for sure that I had accidentally ingested LSD. Again.

Mais, non. It's real. Animal print "Designer" Snuggies. We have them now. This almost makes up for the public option going bye-bye.

Until this revolutionary development, people who desired warm arms and free hands were relegated to the boring world of Royal Blue, Sage Green, and Burgundy. But now you can read your book with your free reading light while draped in Zebra, Leopard, or Camel. (Please note that Camel has been mistaken for beige, but it's actually Camel. Recognize.)

I've written before about my love for Snuggies and these new options, plus the fact that you can still get a free reading light, just deepen my devotion.

No word on who these illustrious designers are, but I would be the least bit surprised if Kathy Ireland was the genius responsible. And I have it on good authority that Jon Gosselin is working with Ed Hardy to design his own line of Snuggies that will be covered in sequins and tigers and will be the first scented Snuggies. The scent options will be Mid-Life Crisis Musk, I Have Eight Kids But I'm Still Cool Patchouli, and Shallow Douchebag Sandalwood.

Bonus: remember a couple of months ago when I wrote about that web series with the yinzer guys? They've been working on other projects, but they did do a Snuggie episode, which I think you'll agree is full of win:

They have the designer snuggies at Target. It even comes in breast cancer awareness pink. I'm hoping my husband gets me one for my birthday...

"When are you going to make one that looks a little more stylish for me?" Because when your ass is plastered to your couch and you can't be bothered to move your arms out from under your blanket to change the channel, style and fashion are definitely your highest priorities!!

My sister gave me a Snuggie for my birthday. Mint green. Sigh. I still don't want it.

That video rocked, though.

I love my red Snuggie. But I will love it even more in Leopard. It will help me further get my cougar on. Nothing says sexaehhh like a drunk, overweight woman in a leopard snuggie. I may pass on the book light though. My last one ended up doing this weird flickering thing and I think it made me have a seizure. I can’t really tell, all I know is I saw flashing Snuggie book light flashes and the next thing I knew I was drooling and passed out in a ditch on the side of a highway wearing only my red Snuggie backwards. However, that may be due to the gin but I’m not taking my chances so if I have to give up one thing it would be the book light over the gin because to hell with reading anyway.

If you wear your Snuggie backwards, isn't it just... a bathrobe? I mean, the Snuggie itself is a backward robe, no?

[Rhonda]

That's what I kept telling the police!!!! I'm not indecent. It's a robe/Snuggie!

[Suzy Q]

Killjoy.

[Snarky Amber]

SEND IT TO ME.

[Suzy Q]

Bwah! Maybe it's the kind of thing you have to use to love? Let me check it out in the winter first. If it ever gets to be winter here (Miami).

I'll keep you in mind.
