Boyfriend Arm Pillow

gizmag Article: Boyfriend Arm Pillow a sales success

At first I laughed at this, but then after the laughter subsided (roughly 37 minutes later) the wheels in my head started turning. Maybe it's not so crazy afterall. I see possibilities for interesting variations on this idea, beyond the warm (or in this case, room temperature) embrace of a faux boyfriend's arm and half torso. Allow me to explain. Who doesn't at times yearn to return to the carefree days of their youth, when the world revolved around nothing but fun and you hadn't a care in the world? That's the basis behind my entire line of "Nostalgia Parts" (patent pending).

Remember that trip to Tennessee (or if you're from Tennessee, make it Wisconsin) that your family took when you were seven? Your mom was yelling the whole way there because your older brother Billy (or if your name is Billy, make it Robby) kept sticking his feet in your face? Sure, it wasn't much fun at the time, but isn't it a great memory now, feet and all? You can relive those great memories with the "Brother's Feet Pillow":

Or how about when you were but a child and your grandmother held you in her arms because you were crying so hard after she just removed a Tic Tac from up your nose? Maybe that one applies to me only, but now there is a pillow that's perfect for everyone who had a grandma (which is most people). It's called the "Grandma's Arms Pillow" (torso not included):

Last but not least, there's a pillow for those who were mischievous little tykes. Back in the day, before there were "timeouts" and other ineffective forms of child discipline, there was the classic "smack on the arm". Considered "poltically incorrect" these days, the "smack on the arm" ruled the day when I was a kid in the 70's. Now as well adjusted adults we can laugh about it, nay, even relive fondly the memory of those little love taps with the "Mom's Hand Ready to Smack You Pillow":

These are just a few of the pillows I'm working on. I'm currently lining up investors, so if you wanna give your money to someone, why not give it to me? I think this could be huge. If it does happen to hit big, I'll make us some "guy laughing all the way to the bank" pillows, just for fun.
