Bringing Back The Fanny Pack

Fanny Pack Kick Back

It's true, I'm going to bring back the fanny pack.

It's only a short time until I have new fanny packs to rock.

I guess fanny pack were never "in" in the first place.

-Or at least that's what people say, but I refuse to believe it.

If that's so now is the perfect time to rock the fanny pack.

Wikipedia says-"Fanny packs reached the peak of their popularity in the late 1980s and early- to mid-1990s. Today, however, fanny packs are considered unfashionable in some countries.^[vague] "Weird Al" Yankovic, for instance, associates the wearing of fanny packs in his song "White & Nerdy." Many

consider the fanny pack a sure mark for an out-of-place tourist, invoking the

traditional tourist stereotypes known around the world, also commonly worn by old people to carry their medicine and other things old people need, like a blood sugar level tester."

I refuse to let fanny packs go down as a shame.

They will come back.

I think the best places to look for fanny packs is on Etsy- http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?q=fanny+pack

These are the fanny packs I hope to own.

and hopefully inspire you to get your own!

Roman Influence on Modern Fashion

Roman-Fashion-Past to Present

Ting Ting Hu wore this dress at the 46th Golden Horse Red Carpet event. I think this has a Roman influence relating to the togas worn, maybe even more so to the pulla toga since that was the darker colored toga worn by those in mourning, even though I don’t think that’s the case here. Once again it has the Roman drapery and softness and the circular cut at the bottom.

This dress was shown at the Croaporter fashion shown on March 24, 2010. This dress has the Etruscan look that the Romans adopted (tebenna to toga). This is because of how it drapes and the semi-circle cut it has. This is a Roman/Etruscan influenced dress if I’ve ever seen one.

I couldn’t find where this was from, but it is very evident there has been some Roman influence. The skirt/wrap looks just as the subligaria looked as the Roman wore them. Of course, then it would be wore as the undergarment, but here, being modern, it is worn as outerwear.
