Fancy Fanny

Belt pack, belly bag, buffalo pouch, hip sack, bum bag, the fanny pack. While in recent years may be considered unfashionable, nerdy even, should undoubtedly make a comeback into the lives of satchel carrying citizens. Unaffected by the feminine connotations that purses, clutches and totes have, fanny packs are acceptable accessories even for the most macho of men. Fanny packs do not discriminate. Double arm amputees and quadriplegics alike can now relax knowing that their chap stick and family photos can be safely carried with them where ever they go because fanny packs do not require the use of arms. Even the fashion conscious can show their fanny pack pride. Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Prada, and Coach all have created their own spin on the “bum bag”. Even pop music sensation Rihanna has been seen sporting one of these sensible pouches. Are you a hunter? Why the fanny pack is the perfect solution for you! Not only will you be able to carry your bullets in comfort, but bring along your favorite weapon with the new concealed weapon option. Now little Mittens and Fluffy can enjoy the fun of a fanny pack with a pet carrier style that allows you to carry your furry companion around your midsection. Arguably, fanny packs get shit that they don’t necessarily deserve. What did fanny packs ever do to man kind other than securely keep our precious goods snuggly around our waist? Hey, who’s to say that you have to wear them around your abdomen? They can surely be slung over ones shoulder like the more main stream purses. And are they really any more embarrassing then the tiny book bags of the early 2000s or the granny like paisley patterned bags of the late 2000s that teens loved to carry? As said best by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “to be great is to be misunderstood.” Tourist apparel no more, bring sexy back, wear your fanny pack!
