Lounging – the great collegiate pastime. As important as it is for a student to be equipped to succeed in the classroom and in their social lives, it is also crucial that they know how to enjoy their downtime. Most of us enjoy the sedentary lifestyle when it comes to relaxing, this typically includes watching television shows and DVDs, playing video games, and listening to music – sometimes all at once. Whatever your favorite activity may be, the Campus Socialite has found the perfect companion to accompany you when you have some time to kill.
The Fatboy (http://www.fatboyusa.com/fatboy_home.php) is a new twist on the common beanbag chair that will revolutionize how we get comfortable and de-stress. Not your typical worn down beanbag that limits you to a few awkward seating positions, the Fatboy is a ginormous chair-pillow that can be used in a variety of ways. With space limited in so many college dorms and apartment living rooms, it’s no wonder why the Fatboy is gaining popularity since it is cozier than the average couch or chair and trendier than any piece of furniture since the La-Z-Boy recliner.
It’s hard to list all of the possible uses for a Fatboy, but I’ll just name a few – the seat of choice for your entertainment center, a place to sleep for guests and those who had a few too many to make it home at 3 AM, a sun bathing lounger for the front lawn, and a king sized bed for pets (this would make your dog or cat would be a bigger pimp than Al Capone). The key feature that separates this from all other chairs, pillows and couches is its size and flexibility; you can sit or lay down on it or find any other way to kick back in style because the Fatboy molds to the contours of your body.
The Fatboy is made from an advanced, specially coated nylon that allows it to be cleaned easily and kept stain-free. Available in several different colors and styles, the original Fatboy costs $229 – not terribly expensive for such a versatile piece of furniture.
