My History

How would you describe yourself as a flagger?

I’ve been flagging/fanning for several years but still consider myself a "baby".


What is it about flagging that you enjoy the most?

The beauty of the fans, the beauty of the music, the beauty of the people who love fans/flags.


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

I’ve been flagging/fanning for 7 or 8 years. I became part of a wonderful fan family that was from DC, Virginia, Baltimore and Philly. I experienced a plethora of fanning moments in DC and Rehoboth Beach, DE. These progressed to New York, Philly, Baltimore and numerous house parties.


Who has inspired or taught you?

Michelle Grasso inspired me the most. Candida Scott Piel has also been a great inspiration and teacher. Craig Rocklin, Melinda Sawyer, Greg Maxwell, Jill Whorl and Rence Corcoran have also been wonderful inspirations.


What was one of your wildest or craziest flagging experiences?

Being very new to the fan scene and being "honored by angels". I layed down on the carpet and had two "master fanners" flapping their wings over me. I knew then that when I died, my heaven would be just like that.

    Michele, I just LOVE what you wrote here:

    YEPPERS, I feel the same way. With broadening myself (focusing on many disciplines) like mixed CD’s and photo artwork, I feel I’m continually learning, especially from Beginners! By teaching we then become the student. What a thrilling way to look at it!

    Sending Much Love & sorry I missed you at Rehomo : (

    Michelle,

    You were missed by all last Sat. Hope you are on the mend.

    And no, I’m not in Atlanta anymore. I’m a NYC boy again.

    xoxo

    Hey Michele, Sissy Warrior here, what a really nice gallery & profile you have here on Phillip Bryan’s website!!! Looking at the pics, they are all great and the one with you & Junior reminds me of when we all went out in NYC, and you heard Junior LIVE for the first time @ Palladium on New Year’s Day night!!! XXOO
    Your fan brother, Jack
    PS You are one of the few that knew me & understood why I adopted Jackraver as my AOL handle!
