Today we're going to talk about.....fanny packs. Traditionally known as the token accessory of shameful fathers everywhere, they are also a necessary evil when it comes to outdoorsy endeavors. I'm not going to go tripping up a mountain again with a giant hobo bag full of art supplies and huckleberry flavored food, but it is nice to carry a camera/phone/cheese sandwich/etc. and still have your hands free for when you get lost and have to slide down a 50 degree grade to get back to the trail. Coughcough.
It is unfortunate then that fanny packs are boring, unflattering, dorky, and so ugly that not even Louis Vuitton or puppies can make them cute.
BLEH!
BLEH!
But then came the saviour of all fanny packs - the fanny pack that atoned for the sins of all of the fanny packs that came before it:
Sold by carrotcake on Etsy. Ah! I'd wear the crap out of that thing if it didn't cost so much.Alas, I am poor, and besides, last night while I was laying on my bedroom floor listening to the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, I got this great idea to just invent my own fanny pack and call it the "Butt Load", then market it to hipsters and make tons and tons of money, woo! Sounds good, right? We'll see how that goes.

Don't you hate how over-priced etsy is? I found a cute fanny pack that looks like a victorian bustle- you wear it in the back rather than the front.
I wish I could find the link - some guy made a joke etsy shop where he put garbage up for sale and charged crazy prices.
You should post a link to that bustle....
Wow! that fannypack is awesome!
I don't know. It's probably worth the price. It's unique plus you know you're supporting a real live person behind a small business! :)
Will you make ME fanny pack???
