My History

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

I have been flagging for well over five years now.  I got started by watching people fan dance in the early nineties.  I didn’t start flagging until later on.  At first I was intimidated but I then gained confidence and later excelled at both spinning and making flags. 


Who has inspired or taught you?

No one has really taught me.  I just learned by watching.


Do you make your own sets? Can you describe what kind you make?

I have been making my own sets for over five years now.  The sets are intricate shibori techniques.  My skulls are the most popular and have been seen everywhere in the US.


Where do you often like to flag?

In the clubs, in open locations, almost everywhere.  My flags are always with me.


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

Silk and only silk.

What advice do you give to beginning flaggers?

Don’t listen to what any of the naysayers tell you and move by instinct.  Do not think.  Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer can make.  You have to feel.


Do you have an ultimate flagging experience that you would like to achieve, but have not yet?

I would love to ultimately flag for Kristine W., but I don’t think that will EVER happen.  She doesn’t really like me after a falling out we’ve had.  Oh well.  LOL.


Do you have a wish for what happens to your flags after you leave this world?

I would like to be cremated with them.  People have forgotten about how wonderful my flags were these past few years.  I only want people to have the memory of them not the physical flags themselves.  If you have a pair that I’ve given you or sold to you, you are very lucky to have them. 


What are your favorite songs to flag to?

Janet Jackson’s “Just A Little While” remix.
George O’Dowd’s “Amazing Grace” remix.
