Please, just let it die

I don't know who this Muriel Brandolini is, but I'd like to give her a swift kick in the pants for trying to foist this "belt bag" on me.

Okay, this is a fanny pack, people. I don't care how many handy compartments there are, or how many animals are embroidered on it, this thing has no business being around your waist unless you were cryogenically frozen in it back in 1982.

And don't even get me started on how tremendously unflattering this is. Why in God's name would anyone want to spend $109 on a bag that adds bulk to the hip and tummy regions? And keep in mind that $109 is the sale price.

I've seen my share of ugly handbags, but this is the first to trigger a gag reflex. I think I need to go lie down now.
