Oscar! Carolina! Marc! Snuggie!

Oh, yes, fashionistas, Snuggie made its New York Fashion Week debut, spreading the style word that blanket is the new black.

No longer just available in classic Snuggie blue, Fall '09/Winter '10 styles will be available in a slew of shades, prints and logos.

Plus, not wanting to leave anyone in the family out in the cold, they'll come in kids sizes (sold with slipper socks!) and various silhouettes for dogs (you read that right -- Fido gets a blanket with arms, too).

"He can change the channel! He can read! He can text his friend," runway show emcee Ross "The Intern" Matthews declared of a Snuggie-clad pooch.

On the Snuggie runway? Camel, deep forest green, leopard and zebra prints, tie-dye, black, camouflage and collegiate logos (48 schools available at collegesnuggies.com).

Oh, and don't forget purple.

"What do those fancy designers call it?" Matthews asked. "Screw it. We are Snuggie. It's called purple, people!"

And, for those who like a little luxe in their loungewear, there'll be a new micro-plush version -- complete with pockets to store your remote control -- in colors like chocolate brown, berry red and deep navy.

You may laugh, but with more than five million Snuggies sold, and with the brand launching soon in Australia, England, Mexico, Canada, Japan and Italy, they're doing something right.

The icing on the cozy cake? Each guest at Tuesday's show walked out with their own Snuggie.

"You may end up asking winter to stick around an extra month," Matthews quipped. We just might!

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about (re)print http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com and how it is an unbelievable anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that is actually made with Stemplex, a Swiss apple complex, containing plant stem cells that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%. http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com

You would have to be retarded to buy a snuggie. These are bathrobes that are worn backwords. Your back is exposed you morons! This was originally targeted for holiday sales to 70+ early morning television viewers. People who can't get out and shop but stay cold.

Nee,

*tsk-tsk-tsk*

What a nasty comment you've made. One does NOT have to be retarded to buy a Snuggie. If you don't like them, that's fine. There's no need to criticize or call names to those who do. Live and let live, because there may come a day when you'll be 70+ and not be able to get out and shop. As for being cold -- you're already there -- in a BIG way.

I don't know why they're acting like these snuggie styles are just debuting now. They've been available for awhile now. They've already been parodied on YouTube. Very funny stuff. I would never buy one of these backward blankets. Crazy.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to stay warm this winter while managing to look like Mrs. Roper from Three's Company at the same time.

I think my new high-fashion 'Snuggie' is the answer!

Puh-lease!

I have a snuggie and while its not perfect and the commercial is a bit on the cheesy side they are not to bad. If you are laying on the couch watching tv they are perfect but as far as going to a foot ball game... I THINK NOT!!! You would look stupid out in public in them!!! But hey there must be something to them because the inventors are loaded and you morons who say the snuggie is stupid are still poor!!!

I actually just got back from buying the leopard print snuggie. I bought it to play a joke on one of my professors, but honestly... the thing is kinda comfy. I make fun of them as much as anybody else, but I look like a BAMF in my leopard print snuggie! Not really, but it is kinda warm.
