Not only is today Memorial Day, thanks to Twitter I've learned that today is also Towel Day. It occurs to me that not only is the Snuggie a Blanket with Sleeves, it is also a Wearable Towel. What better way to celebrate both Memorial Day and Towel Day than putting on the Snuggie - the Wearable Towel?
We've had several Snuggie Wearable Towel Sightings over the past few months. Here are some highlights...Happy Towel Day!

Of course, if I were to market a Wearable Towel, I'd think of a decent name ...like a Wowel.
Here is Marisa, in her Custom Snuggie as she heads out to a Snuggie Pub Crawl this weekend. (Yes, Snuggie Pub Crawls are still happening, despite the warmer weather).

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.
Thanks to a Facebook friend, Susan, for being my eyes for this Snuggie Sighting from the recent Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. Bay to Breakers is an Annual Street Race, and there are side activities, costumes, etc. This year's event had a few warm and cozy additions to the roster:

The warehouse guys are back for another epic Snuggie in the Workplace Sighting. This time we have Vance, who has found there's nothing better to wear for precision work than the Snuggie. Snuggie Soldering.
[Photo not recovered: Vance knows he can not solder in a blanket. He keeps those pesky OSHA inspectors at bay by stowing the blankets away. ]Vance knows he can not solder in a blanket. He keeps those pesky OSHA inspectors at bay by stowing the blankets away.
Here's the accompanying note that came with this entry: In this frozen tundra of Central Texas in May, there's only one way to repair board-level electronics without raising your heating bill. The Snuggie!! Shortly after this pic was taken, we turned off our lights, to further lower our heating bill...and we were guided only by our Complimentary Booklights. God bless the Snuggie.
Indeed. Happy Snuggie Friday to all, and to all a Snuggie Night!
These guys wear their Snuggies everywhere. You never know when your next recruitment opportunity may arise. The Men of Snuggie are putting 'Cult' back in 'Culture' ... [Image no longer online]

The Video Clip of their Snuggie Coverage is on Le blog de Daphné Bürki ('the Blog of Daphné Bürki' - aren't my French Translation skills impressive?) - Daphné is one of the hosts of L'EDITION SPECIALE.
About a minute into the video, SnuggieSightings.com makes an appearance on their MASSIVE monitor (I need one of those @ home).
[Photo not recovered: I Recognize That Website. This is from early in the video clip, before the hosts don their Snuggies. ]I Recognize That Website. This is from early in the video clip, before the hosts don their Snuggies.
