Fannypack Phobia
- June 12th, 2008 10:22 pm
There aren’t many things fashion wise that bug the creeps out of me. After all, I spend a lot of time in my yoga pants ignoring general fashion trends and basking in their elasticity. While I would not call the following annoyance a fashion trend, I would call it an obstruction of justice. An obstruction of respect. An obstruction of all things that you can think to insert here.
To get to the point: I have major beef with fanny packs. I can not even begin to describe my hatred for them. And yes, perhaps they are handy in certain situations. But seriously, let us examine a fannypack visual.
Are you with me now? I mean, I do realize they are convenient. And I usually don’t pull up a fresh post on my blog where I pretend like I am an expert of what is wrong and right as far as what people put on their bodies.
But unfortunately, this is necessary.
Because while vacating this past week, I saw an abundance of fanny packs. So many that I got scared of them, and developed a phobia. (Not to mention the fact that my brother-in-law both purchased and wore one for nearly our whole trip.)
And sure, they are convenient. All this hands free bag carrying. But I’d rather carry around a sack of bricks through shards of glass while barefoot than ever get caught in a picture like this:
Are you this offended by the fannypack? Please tell me you don’t own one. Because in my book, they are way worse than Crocs. In fact, they’re sort of like the mullet of purses.
At the end of the day, if hating fanny packs is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

I don’t like Fannypacks too. It’s just um uncomfy to look at. But I find how Fannypack sounded funny to me.
Well, it’s just not my kind of thing too.
So yeah, it’s not bad to hate them. What works for them, doesn’t work for us.

Way to go. Now I want one..I mean, just to annoy you. Do you have a myspace? I think it would be funny to get one (that flag one looked great) and wear it and take pictures and post them daily in the comments section of your myspace.
Of course, I would be really embarrassed to wear one in public. My SIL always has one on and I just can’t understand it. But I guess they would be kinda cool when walking a theme park or something…just to have your money and other necessary items sitting on your belly shelf instead of hanging on your shoulder. I think my night night medicine has taken effect and I should probably delete this comment but..well, I’m not going to because at the moment, I probably don’t know any better.

Fannypacks are only excusable on lesbians and—sorry—tourists. Crocs, on the other hand, aren’t excusable on anyone. I don’t care if you’re in the garden, suffer from diabetes or aren’t old enough to select your own. Just Say No to Crocs!

I love me some fanny packs! (On other people, with mullets and scrunchies and white socks mid shin socks with sandals and they’ve stuffed it to within an inch of its fanny pack life…)
They’re great photo ops. Snicker. Ok, I’m going to Hell.
The one acceptable use for the fanny pack? When my friends little brother was on chemo and had to have a med pump attached to him at ALL times. That’s the only acceptable thing I can think of.

I hate them because both my stomach (come on, four kids here!) AND my, um, fanny do not need to be emphasized in any way. Plus my ex-husband 9number one, about a billion years ago) used to wear one. With his shirt tuncked into his shorts, and his knee socks either up to his knees OR ROLLED down around his ankles. And he was such a dork that I knew I would not stay married to him. Handy? Sure. But that is why I carry a small purse that goes over me body and hangs at the side. Very European, don’tcha know.

It has a waterbottle holder and 2 cellphone holders, I tried to throw it away when we got it, but hubby wouldn’t let me, so now it sits in the closet.
Whenever we go on vacation and are walking around I use a backpack or a nice tote depending on where we are.

There are some people that make it hard to concentrate due to their fashion faux pas. It makes me wonder how many people either a.) don’t own a mirror or b.) elect not to use it. Eeeek!

Hee hee hee! When my hubby and I decided to elope in Hawaii, the first thing he asked me is, “are you gonna wear one of those butt purses?” I nearly died laughing. I detest those things with a passion. When I lived in Florida, I saw them everywhere!
I did, however, buy a side strap purse. You know, the kind that crosses your body? LOL
I wonder if the inventor is having a good laugh at all those poor people’s expense? I bet it was created on a dare.
June 13th, 2008 @ 12:32 pm
Oh you always seem to make me laugh. =) My parents gave me a fanny pack and made me wear it, like them, in Vegas for my 21st birthday celebration. Total Tard. That’s me. It wasn’t until a few years later when all of my mom’s horrid fashion sense brainwashing seeped out of my brain, did I realize *shutter* that this could have been permanent damage. I could be that fanny packer. Way to alert the masses.

I ignore them. Just like I ignore men who wear lime green suede shoes, overalls with no undershirts, or anything else visually disgusting…
But may I ask what crime(s) have crocks committed against you or anyone else? I LOVE THEM. My daughter loves them. Heck, every nurse I know is eternally grateful for them….have you tried on a pair? You might just change your mind…
June 13th, 2008 @ 1:56 pm
LMAO at the mullet of purses.
Actually. Yes. I totally have one. A very fancy Gucci that I take on trips. I was envious of the incredibly beautiful women in Italy and Greece walking around posh with fanny packs. They were drop dead gorgeous and fashion forward.
At first, I thought…. “wha?”
But they seriously rocked those fanny packs.
Now wearing birds on your shoulder, like Sex in the City. That I might have to skip.

I had a fannypack in 1987, when I was 8. My tastes have since evolved. I don’t wear a ponytail on the side of my head anymore either.
A 55-year-old guy I work with (single, of course) wears a fanny pack every day. His pants have pockets, so I don’t see why he needs one. I’d honestly prefer a manpurse.

But actually, back in the day, they were kind of trendy…

You are 100% right though…
They are Butt-Ugly and I do so HATE seeing them on shoppers at the mall…
But Worse…
Waaaaaay worse than that, is when I see a MAN using one…

I second your abhorrence of the fanny pack. There is just something wrong with grown adults wearing an “appendage” around their middles. Seriously, do we want to make our bellies or booties look larger? I think not.
My ex sister in law and her hubby both wear them on a daily basis. We aren’t just talking about vacationing here. And if they are in a hurry, they just get slung over the shoulder like a very ugly handbag. That in of itself was grounds for divorcing that family.
Eight years ago, I did succumb and purchase a solid black fanny pack while we were on vacation, I had a 7 week old baby, it was 110F and we were out in the heat all day long. I had to carry a couple of diapers and small pack of wipes SOMEWHERE. I already had a baby attached to me in a front pack. I disposed of the item upon our return home. I get the chills just thinking about it now.

2. I own a fanny pack. But I swear I don’t like it OR wear it. I bought it to train the dogs with. Put treats in, strap it on, and go practice agility and obedience in the back yard. And I hate every fanny-pack-wearing second of it.

As a child my family and I frequented Hawaii- I was only about 8 or 9 years old when my Mom taught me the importance of looking good at all times….. she taught me about the “Fashion NO’NO’s” and all that fell under that category. Fanny Packs were Numero UNO. There are so many people in Hawaii that wear them, we started a “Fanny Pack Alert” or better known to us as a “FPA” Yes, I was only 8 or 9 at the time- but this is something I will take with me through life!
When I was 21, my Mom took me to Kauai for my birthday. We sat on our patio and counted how many people walked by with them on. We must have counted over 30 in less than 5 minutes!!!

I’ve been known to sport a fanny pack at the county fair and the amusement parks, especially since I’ve passed the diaper bag phase. I mean surely a fanny pack is better than continuing to tote that hospital freebie diaper bag, yes?
But I’ve never, ever carried a purse, so I need someplace for the keys and credit cards. And as my teenage daughter points out on a daily basis, I have no style anyway, so it’s not like I have anything to lose. Yeah, excuses.
I think I need to call a therapist or pour a cold one. Or both.

A friend of mine actually uses one as a purse, throwing it in the stroller basket, but never wears it. Strange. Just strange.

I had a fanny pack. And used it. It was in 3rd grade though, so I hope I can be forgiven for that.

I didn’t know they still made them! Gaaa…my mom used to make me where one when I was too little to carry a purse with out losing it. Ugh, I hated so much…even then (when I had no sense of fashion whatsoever) I knew that fanny packs were NOT cool.

Damn I adore you
I despise these things.
They’re like bright blue liquid eyeshadow with purple mascara and stirrup pants.

Sorry folks…fanny packs are still a necessity for die hard shoppers. They are not just for tourists. I take my great niece to the mall and I like to be able to hold her hand as she is only 5. It beats putting a kid on a leash and dragging them around like a dog.

Finally!! Someone who feels the same way that I do!! I just vacationed with a fanny pack wearer for 12 days and it just about sent me over the edge! Thank for for writing what so many of us are feeling.
Now excuse me while I go hide my Crocs!
