Our lead singer from my internationally touring band possesses a talent like I have never seen before. She has a sixth sense for where to get the most ridiculous American themed clothing items. For our performance she had blue and white striped shoes, red, white and blue leggings, star socks, a Ben Franklin tank with a stars and stripes bikini top, headwear, sunglasses, flag scarf and an American fanny pack.

That leads me to our first translation: Don't say Fanny Pack in the United Kingdom.
