The only thing that's cool strapped to your leg is a knife, or maybe a cross, if you're hunting vampires, which isn't really cool anymore, because who wants to kill Vampire Bill or Edward Cullen? Seriously though, what's wrong with a messenger bag? People who are drawn to these may want to consider a career in plumbing or construction - they come with their own lovely, totally appropriate belt of goodies.
Hate to bag on the male models but damn, that's the best they could come up with?? A pimp wanna be, the shy foreign exchange student and the guy that still wears spandex bike shorts at the gym.
While I would like it if my husband would carry a bag rather than making me carry all his 'too big for my pockets' stuff in my purse, these aren't going to take off unless some very, very cool guys start using them often and in public. I'm talking cool as in Johnny Depp or George Clooney. My dad would probably wear the blue one, but he'd put it on under his oversized military surplus jacket and would only carry weapons in it. But, then, he's a weird guy, and not anywhere near their target audience.
@Sm6rtGrrl: Haha. I, on the other hand, don't carry a purse, so I hand my keys/phone/wallet/sunglasses to the nearest dude and instruct him to make use of the pockets denied to me.
@LutherNipperkin: I love having a purse just so I can lord it over people when they have a headache. "Oh, you're in pain? Wait, let me dig into my MULTITASKING TOOL OF THE PATRIARCHY to see if I can find you the bottle of Excedrin! Bored? Oh, I was bored...then I dug out my book, this half-knit scarf, and my Nintendo DS. Sucks that you can't carry something like thiiis, doesn't it?"
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Haha. Replace the Nintendo DS with a camera, and if you ever spot me carrying a MULTITASKING TOOL OF THE PATRIARCHY, that's what's in it. I just can't figure out a way to carry one without wishing I didn't have to keep shifting it around my arms/shoulders/hands, so I try to do without.
Yeah, because when you live in the city you really want to be wearing something that looks like a shoulder holster so when some shit goes down and the police shoot your hipster ass they can say " I thought he had a gun."
@Pogue Mahone: Hmmm, you may be on to something here. Interesting way to thin out the hipster population. Also, I really love"when some shit goes down." I'm going to try and get that in at my next PTA meeting.
I LOVE this! Between Urban Tool and Ed Hardy, more and more assholes are labeling themselves, saving the women of the world countless wasted hours at the STD clinic.
@PaigeTurner: I saw a dude in skinny jeans today on campus that I think scarred me for life. Seriously, if I can tell your religion from 30 feet away? Your jeans are too tight.
@samarkand: I used to work with a dude who wore jeans so tight that once I glanced down and realized his zipper was working itself undone and that he had gone commando for the occasion. There's really not a lot you can say there, because "Hey dude, I just saw your junk!" isn't entirely appropriate to workplace conversations.
"But, dude, I need something in which to store my spare ironic facial hair. And this coke's not going to carry itself, now is it? See, look. All the tiny bicycle hats I need, right at my fingertips."

And that first picture looks like he was just trying to find a new way to wear his fanny pack. Actually, they all kind of look like that.
