Return of the BUM BAG!!

Sorry if there's already been a thread about this....

BUM BAGS are fast becoming a hot accessory again. They're everywhere!

(Are they called 'fanny bags' in America?) giggle

I was probably 8 or 9 when bum bags (bumbags... is it one word or two?) were around before, so I wasn't really bothered.... I did have one though - It was black and fluorescent yellow. cool

I'm a little bit excited that they're back, as it's perfect timing for my trip to DisneyWorld later this year. Nice! There's no denying that they're SO practical for those kinds of occasions.

SO.... the obvious question is... YAY or NAY?

Do you have a pic of yourself back in the day using one? Would you use one again?

Discuss!

Well that's put the brakes on my ponderings on whether or not to get one this time around.

I've noticed them in advertising but have not noticed anyone wearing one yet.


I can understand the utilitarian aspect (like for a day at disneyland) but in general they aren't attractive.

I prefer a cross-body bag. Just as secure - much nicer looking.

If you kicked him out of the house, no one would blame you.

Why do they call it a BUM bag? Is it because you put shit in it?
