Will the Norwegian OnePiece be the new Snuggie?

When the press releases touting the Norwegian brand OnePiece as "the new cultural phenomenon that is changing the way America dresses" started landing in our e-mail inboxes, Los Angeles Times fashion critic Booth Moore forwarded one to me with the observation: "Is this not just a onesie for adults?"

It's hard to see it as anything else, really. And, while I have a hard time seeing it as the hottest loungewear trend since UGG boots (as the press materials breathlessly proclaim), I'll confess that I didn't see the whole Snuggie/Slanket thing coming either.

'Twilight' DVD release and clothing line launch Saturday at Kitson

I believe I am the last person on Earth who has not read the "Twilight" books nor seen the movie, but I get it -- everyone loves it and I’ve been told repeatedly that I need to get on the vampire bandwagon immediately. Trust me, it’s on my “to do” list. 

I may just get my chance to see it this weekend, when the DVD comes out. To mark the occasion, Kitson on Robertson Boulevard is selling a “limited edition bundle” with the DVD, movie-inspired tote bag and sweatshirt. The store has also teamed up with Awake, Inc and created a "Twilight" T-shirt line of thermals, tunic tops and hoodies with graphics from the film.

Only 200 tickets are being sold to the event. The price of admission is $75 and also gets you the "bundle" of vampire-themed goods including the DVD, sweatshirt and tote bag. 

Tickets can be purchased at www.shopkitson.com

Saturday, March 21, 2-4 p.m. at Kitson, 115 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048
