My History

How would you describe yourself as a flagger?

I am a dancer as well, so I tend to think of the flags as an extension of my body.


What is it about flagging that you enjoy the most?

I love the way flagging centres yet energizes me.


How long have you been flagging? How did you get started?

I’ve been flagging for a little over 2 yrs. I fell in love with it the first time I saw the flaggers at Pleasuredome in SF. It was, saddly, the night that the pleasuredome closed. My first & last visit there.


What was your first flagging experience?

The night the Pleasuredome closed. I was transfixed by the flaggers there and felt the connection.


What was one of your best flagging experiences?

…the best is yet to come..


Who has inspired or taught you?

There are so many to thank here.. most are on this site. Thank you all. I learn more with each new encounter.


Where do you often like to flag?

I love flagging indoors under good blacklighting & ample space, but also love flagging out doors on a still day. I’m a dancer as well, so music is paramount. I try to find a place to flag where ever I am.


What are your favorite types of flags to work with, and why?

I like different types & sizes of flags for different things. Silks for slower, smooth flowing styles, synths for faster more intense flagging.


What advice do you give to beginning flaggers?

….slow it down.. let the flags do the work, they are just an extension of our bodies.


What nice/unusual comment has anyone said to you while flagging?

It looks like you’re dancing with & weaving light..

    Pleasuredome, anyway I just got the title of Sacrmento Leatherboy
    and was asked to walk inn the parade this year,I saw someone with a
    pair of leatherpride flaggs, and was wondering if I could possibly
