I think all exhibitions should include the 'fan language'...gives the meaning behind the whole idea. Thanks:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>sallymandy! <BR/> You're so right- there were, in fact, so many such misunderstandings; which created the obvious intrigues! I can imagine, like you say, this was no joking matter especially since everything was also very secretive. As per your question regarding Josephine...since this would be too long of a response..I'll do you the honour of wqriting a post on this! And I'll link you of course:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hello God's Princess! Welcome back! I've missed your posts:) I do, really find the language of fans very mysterious (and confusing!) Yes, I do have several fans since I love to collect them. And, you shouldn't think of them as having gone out of fashion! Women still use them in very warm weather- that I have personally seen,they're still used in France, Italy and Greece:)Lucy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600064401395449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-66451483722972768302009-03-28T18:06:00.000-07:002009-03-28T18:06:00.000-07:00Hey Lucy, so nice to see you dropping by again!

How I wish they had never gone out of fashion - along with millions of other things!!<BR/><BR/>M xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-45906258395748119002009-03-27T22:45:00.000-07:002009-03-27T22:45:00.000-07:00That's SO interesting!

I'd feel sorry for a poor man who wasn't up to speed on the intricacies of this; like, what if he thought dropping the fan (We will be friends) meant "I promise to meet you by the hedge in an hour?" I'm making it sound like a joke, but seriously, I wonder how men were educated in all this. It's fascinating. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the history lesson Ms Lucy. I loved it. As for questions for you, I'd be interested as a beginner to your blog in what you find most compelling about Josephine. <BR/><BR/>Have a nice weekend.sallymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832828827048897372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-16230713405581758932009-03-27T20:56:00.000-07:002009-03-27T20:56:00.000-07:00Wow!

She must have found Josephine very endearing to also name her daughter after her. Love this kind of info:)<BR/><BR/>Hi Ninon, funny you said that about it being a culture thing- I hadn't even thought about that- a secret language for sure!<BR/><BR/>Hello Viola, I actually collect fans myself- and you're right, they're fun to collect and really not all that expensive.
