Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Baby it’s cold outside… literally. Time to dig out the sweaters, long underwear, hats & gloves. But I’m incredibly intrigued by the huge selection of licensed fun, funky winter hats. The kind of hat you see on the ski slopes and think, “How cool is that? I would look like a better skier with a hat like that!”
The good news is I know I can pull off the Striped Bomber hat on the slopes and then get decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas cap, scarf and gloves.

Snuggies: As Seen on TV and Sometimes Real Life
Inside, I'm screaming. And barking. But mostly screaming.
Remember the days when a “snuggie” meant you needed to pull your underwear out of your arse? I sure wish people would pull their heads out of the dark when it comes to the current “Snuggie” phenomenon. I mean, is it really fashionable / morally okay to wear a robe backwards? Are people too lazy to put their arms AROUND or, dare I say it, OVER a blanket to eat popcorn while sitting on the couch? Who are these people who apparently have such a great deal of difficulty accessing their own limbs when covered? When I walk down the street I can’t help but wonder if each person I pass has the same difficulty, and if perhaps I am merely superhumanly endowed with limb finesse. I don’t understand how this was THE gift of the holiday season last year (although I refuse to comment on whether I gave it to my grandma or an aunt). The only reason I didn’t re-gift the leopard print one given to me is that it came with a hilarious “Snuggie Sutra” book. Admittedly I read the book but no one can prove that I ever broke the fuzzy fun out of the box!
