Fanny Packs: Do or Don't

Ok, first of all, I really dislike the name "fanny pack." It evokes the image of a bulging, unattractive pouch hanging around the waist of a dorky looking tourist. In Australia they call it a "bum bag" and in France "le banane." But the other day, as I was walking around the city, I found myself wishing I had a hands free way to carry my stuff. With warmer weather and summer festivals around the corner, I'm thinking a fanny pack could be pretty useful and a quick search on the web brought up several surprisingly chic and sophisticated options. What do you all think? Are fanny packs a do or don't?
