Throughout history women have been
using fans for many reasons. They have
been used as a fashion statement or
to cool a fevered brow. Yet, the proper use
of a fan has a language all it's own.
Hiding the eyes behind the fan means I LOVE YOU
Placing the fan behind the head means DON'T FORGET ME
A shut fan on the right eye means WHEN MAY I BE ALLOWED TO SEE YOU
Threating with a shut fan means DON'T BE SO IMPRUDENT
Shutting the fully open fan slowly means
I PROMISE TO MARRY YOUOpening and shutting the fan several times means YOU ARE CRUEL
Pressing the half open fan to the lips means YOU MAY KISS ME
Now that you know the language of the fan
go out and have some fun.
