I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded 
For some reason I get quite a few fashion pitches sent to my blog e-mail address. Although I would love to claim to be a 24/7 fashionista, honestly most days I am wearing the same non-descript scoop neck black t-shirt with khaki capris or jeans and black sandals. And we won’t talk about how I really get down to the sexay on the weekends, like right now as I sit wearing a tank top and lime green cotton shorts and my glasses and no makeup.
Earlier this week I got an e-mail about a fabulous sounding accessory destined to be the “hottest of the season,” according to the press release. It’s a SpiBelt, which stands for Small Personal Item Belt.
Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
Um, ya’ll?
It’s a fanny pack.
Granted it’s a svelte fanny pack after a Biggest Loser diet reveal and this model makes it looks like it’s going to give you a Jillian Michaels waistline. But still? It’s basically a fanny pack, 2009 model.
What do you think? I guess it would come in handy at the gym for holding a phone or keys. You know. If I actually went to the gym on a regular basis.
In the event of full disclosure I have no business affiliation whatsoever with SpiBelt, I just found this funny. I know. It doesn’t take much to amuse me.
p.s. What are you up to this holiday weekend? Today we’re going to a soccer party at the coach’s house to celebrate the end of the rainiest season known to man and the girls have been invited to a birthday party tomorrow. On Monday we’re gonna fire up the grill and have a casual cookout for my family.
Had to follow Julie (momspective) link from Twitter
Got the pitch, too. I was thinking the same, though said I’d take a look at it
It’s gotten some good press. Definitely an anorexic version of its cousin, lol. I daresay I might use it at the gym & on other rare occasions. We shall see if it shows up on my doorstep.
Have a great holiday weekend.
Cute post. I think your fashion style and mine match. As for the fanny pack, er, I mean SpiBelt, a fanny pack is a fanny pack is a fanny pack.
Yeah, that is not cute.
We did the lake today, birthday party tomorrow and probably loads and loads of luandry for Monday.
I Love this post! A fanny pack is still a fanny pack. This is even more funny because I just discussed with my turning eleven year old sister that a fanny pack never was and never will be good fashion.
Awful. Okay, for the gym, maybe, as you said. But you could also get a locker.
A fanny pack by any other name…
Considering I look like the before pictures and not the svelte one above, I think this belt would probably cut across one of my jelly rolls!
That is totally a fanny pack!... I think we are fashion twins—- I love scoop T’s with shorts/jeans. I am what you would call “low” maintenance!
Urgh. And would anything really fit in it anyway?

Wow, fashion and history always seem to repeat themselves. I wonder how long before they make them in neon colors, or attach little baubles to it?
Very interesting…What is the saying? All things Old are New again? I think this mini fanny pack would fall under that saying. This would never work for Moms toting kids around. I can’t find a bag big enough for everything I need with me when I’m out with my two little boys.
How funny!
Now, when are they bringing back the leg warmers?
This post was a hoot! The girl in the picture probably can fit her daily food intake into that pack. This pack is not likely to make Oprah’s favorite things list anytime soon!
Fanny pack looks like a funny pack. Will it really work???
Is that a “Barbie” fanny pack?
that aint no fanny pack! it’s absolutely an abs of steel stash. funny posts.
cheers!

Is a fanny pack the same as a bum bag?
