sleeping bag

The "blanket that has sleeves" has made its runway debut at Fashion Week. Marching down the catwalk was a dog in a Snuggie, accompanied by a model also draped in one.

This fashion item most often seen in infomercials looks a lot like a giant sleeping bag, and now it comes in tie-dye, camouflage and "luxury microplush."

This morning, Front Steps staffers gave out hundreds of coats and jackets to ARCH (Austin Resource Center for the Homeless) clients, but there weren’t enough in size large or XL.

That’s where you come in, oh fortunate one: If you have an extra coat you wouldn’t mind parting with, or even a twin-size or larger sleeping bag, Front Steps is asking that you please donate it in the next few days.

For more information, call Front Steps at 305-4133.
