Comfort!

I asked Maura B to come over and help me do a long overdue photo shoot with my new Snuggie.
Yeah, I bought one of these for myself and co-worker Michelle for her birthday.
There was A LOT of anxiety surrounding the purchase of this blanket with sleeves...
There is some internet chatter about how it's a scam and I began to doubt that I would receive this shitty robe and, instead, I would find charges on my debit card for Coach handbags and porn websites.

When it did finally arrive, with the complimentary book light (which is apparently worth $15?!), it was totally anti-climactic.
Still, wearing it makes me laugh because it's so over the top and sort of a complicated pain in the ass to put to use.

So, the following is just a sampling of the two of us showing the multi-faceted ways that the Snuggie can either make your life better (i.e. help you save money on your heating bill, handle the intricate juggling of remote controls, answering the phone, and reading a book, or attending a sports event warm and toasty as the commercial touts)...or if it's just another stupid addition to the variety of crap that accumulates in your home and mine.

I still can't determine if it's the former or the latter.

Here's Maura enjoying the reading of a book.
Look how those sleeves are facilitating this!

Ah, cute!
All Snuggie-ed up...

Everyone is calling this Snuggie thing a cult...
And honestly, I do look like I'm in the Razzle Dazzle Methodist Choir, right?!

Honestly, the sleeves are really hard to manage.
They are too long and get in the way CONSTANTLY.

Lord, don't I look like I'm deeply relaxed and satisfied with the practicality of my Snuggie purchase?

Alright, so I have to explain this...as much as I don't want to.
So, I mistakenly mentioned, while perusing a catalogue this Thanksgiving, that those boyfriend pillows (the half torso and the arm) are pretty hilarious.
And, I guess, my mother decided that this warranted her purchasing it to further punctuate my never ending singledom and painfully remind me how little action I actually get.

I've been avoiding addressing how soft and strangely nice a pillow this is.
I don't think it's because it has an arm or simulates a warm embrace.

We decided to attempt wearing the Snuggie in tandem and it worked for about 30 seconds.
It's surprisingly warm, but we both sort of felt weird about trying to enjoy it together.

All in all, it's sort of the dumbest invention known to man.
If I could make it better I would sew the bottom so it was more of a sleeping bag with sleeves...and put pockets in it for sandwiches and tissues.
