  Ok...when I was a kid I had these fuzzy pj's with feet in them and I have always wanted a pair now. An adult pair!!!! This new creation/costume is WONDERFUL!!!! But unreasonable at $600.

  What the....WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?! THIS IS FANTASTIC! I'm ordering seven of those right now!! You, Jennifer Romalini, have ABSOLUTELY NO imagination.

  "Or just as completely lame/misguided/"rich hipsters will waste their money on anything" as I'm imagining?" -- Yeah, because I'm sure you're the oracle of fashion taste and have an impeccable record of quality and standards.

  Don't crap on other people's good time. And I say that glaring at your overpriced designer potato sacks you call clothes that I'm sure completely lame/misguided/rich b!tches (such as yourself) throw your money away on.

  Touche.

  If it didn't had the tail and was made of flannel, I would buy it over the Snuggie any day of the week! :)

  Whoa, Shoujo Robot! The anger, the anger-- simmer it down. You're absolutely right, if folks want to pay $600 to dress up as stuffed animals, it's a free country. But, man, that just seems like a lot of dough to spend on what is essentially a faux-fur Halloween costume. Also, you spelled my name wrong. And, in other news, I own no such expensive potato sacks because I'm cheap and, really, despite my strong opinions about this particular monster-inspired collection, more of a nice person than a b---- .

  I want one. I'll pay 1200 for it. .....ok, I'm kidding.

  You can wear that in the office right?

  While I don't have any beef with people dressing up like fuzzy animals--I'm just the kind of weirdo who would wear this sort of garb around the house for fun--I have to file this one under "Is Nothing Sacred?/Sick of Money-Grubbing Marketers". Couldn't somebody come up with their OWN fuzzy creature suits instead of using Max and his monsters? Feeling jaded.

  Alright, so I apologize for the name spelling, that was thanks to the font display on my monitor. And well...assuming that you buy extravagantly expensive outfits yourself.

  But hey, you can't call out people who buy what is essentially a collector's item, just because an ADULT can wear it. That's unfair. You've basically legitimized SOME forms of ludicrous spending, while singling out something that doesn't necessarily mean a fashion trend. Dropping $600 on ANYTHING is silly, furry costume or no.

  So I think it would have been better to take it from the angle of "Should it cost so much?" or "Would you buy it?" rather than "Wow! Look at the stupid things stupid people buy!"

  Just saying.
