Victorian Flirtation - The Language of the Fan

[@SailorVenus-iz6zp]

When it's hot and your single but your fan gives off the signal that your engaged XD!!!

[@oliviab1111]

😂😂

[@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen]

Hate it when that happens

[@TreeHairedGingerAle]

Honestly! xDD It's interesting and all that, but when does one just get to be comfortable?! 😑🥺🥵🥵

[@NIGHTGUYRYAN]

or that you have syphillis

[@dolly8714]

when someone intrested in the Victorian era just confesses their love to you and you accidentaly say "i love another, i wish to get rid of you" with your fan movement

[@catelynh1020]

Don't know how i got here, but glad I stopped by. Now to see what else this channel has

[@Lynxprowl-WCUE]

Probably from that one youtube recommendation

[@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen]

Doesn't have mummifcation

[@krisalexander6771]

And if you fight with your fan it means you're a Kyoshi Warrior

[@ashleymashley2181]

Underrated comment!😂

[@maureen.brown.8270]

I wish I could walk around in Victorian style dresses and go to fancy parties where I could use the language of the fan

[@kenneth6731]

I agree, this would be great fun.

[@annaavery86]

That's what I would LOVE to do!

[@katieamberiadis2385]

YESS PLEASEE 😻😻

[@aminadoce]

@@joaocosta3374 They were classy until you set foot into a busy street after 20h

[@Naamushkit]

YES PLEASE.

[@ehartsay]

‘You have changed’ and ‘I am sorry’ look very similar.

[@hafathimah_2136]

But i think the facial expression is difference

[@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen]

I am sorry you have changed

[@annaavery86]

They are similar but it's all to do with the exact placement of the fan as "I am sorry" is drawing across the eyes but "You have changed" is drawing across the forehead.

[@allycatg9000]

I been fanning that I am married for too long. I promise I am single though.

[@AsselAldosari-wl1gj]

Everything had a meaning and a code language , the age of true art and elegance 💖👏

[@TimothyMcGrew-z6s]

Flirtation with the fan with white gloves Is totally charming.

[@themultistan]

not me trying to remember all these gestures to see if the actors are using it correctly in the next movie 👀

[@firstlast-to1mq]

I love the setting. It looks so haunted. I love it.

[@shineeis5657]

Your dress is so beautiful!

[@blubbubbel4773]

Just found out that i was constantly switching from engaged to married in my elementary school play 😂

[@thetrashcan4579]

*I love how I learn all this and now I'm triggeribg at the Chinese years ago movies.* *(With old fashion.)*

[@Icabobify]

Okay screw it, I'm gonna say: I love this content, the dresses you wear are amazing and the ones you make are beautiful; and I love your smile. Yes, I'll show myself out now... #gooddaymiss

[@-LeMar-]

OOoooOoh~ good thing I have one that looks just like that one, now I can speak in *the lenguage of the fan!*

[@thelittlecostumery]

Interesting! I think this video came up in my feed because I watched The Regency House Party last night and they were teaching the men the language of the fan.

[@11521]

How intresting!! But whrere did you find all these grstures? And how did people at the time learned what yhey ment? It sory of remind me of the lenguaje of flowers but i suspect there wasn't an ensiclopedia of fan lenguaje 😅

[@VictoriaShelg]

There is a version that this language was constantly corrected by young people themselves, so that others would not learn the meanings of the gestures. However duch a language was developed as an advertising campaign to increase fans sales, so it's difficult to say whether it was used as a way of vommunication or was just a game. In any case, this is indeed a very interesting part!

[@whychance9180]

So your telling me men would take the time to understand this language

[@andreaflorence1764]

Exactly my thought! A very interesting characteristics of men from old times.

[@itsaquagamer6101]

@Why Chance I suppose it’s just something you’d just pick up on back in those days

[@berrychapstick]

@@itsaquagamer6101 I think it was used as a way of secret conversation between the young(teenagers ➖👄➖)

[@pipiwilson7854]

It depends. This would be used by the "upper class" and passed down. The "poor" wouldn't dress like this and of course probably not notice if they came across this. We still have our ways to flirt or speak without using our voice. I never knew about the fan thing till today and I recognized a few from films. This was awesome!

[@rebeccaramer7412]

Then didn't have porn or Tinder. They had no choice but to actually communicate with the women around them.

[@teresiateresia114]

Facinating and interesting.

[@julie10-j5i]

Very elegant!

[@catherineslife7823]

Ever thought ya might need this if you become a princess

[@SeaweedBeastboy]

Time to use this in my school 🤣

[@niksaviral9064]

Really beautiful

[@kaysekar6998]

This explains why I'm still single because I just fan myself due to the hot weather and men be like "Oh, she's engaged..."

[@hierophanttroll4251]

Someone: *fans casually* Me: oh my god! She's planning to kill the president?!!

[@Kwinowarice]

when texting wasnt a thing

[@damiondemon4611]

All your videos are british approved

[@babycakes4492]

Love this!

[@holymoses7918]

Schönes Video ! ❤️🥰❤️

[@treneicewalker5434]

Wow. Is this real in history..because in movies I see the people with fan moving their fan in a stylistic way. (Like moving to the the right cheek) I never thought was coded language lol

[@Trancymind]

Don't try to communicate with japanese women with fans. I heard those fans really hurt when thrown at your face and can break noses. Some even have very sharp blades. It is a sign they want your fresh blood, Yandere I highly suspect. They look like very pretty young women who wants your attention, cuddleness, treat you as your servant and sing songs with you BUT they are demons who will aggressively attack you if they are being neglected or being jealous for any stupid reason. They are very difficult beings to sleep with especially if he is very drained afterwards if you know what I mean (wink wink). Yanderes says that if men are dry is because they are 100% cheaters and so they take them out while the guy is sleeping. True story.

[@andrewgibson7610]

Love that dress Victoria

[@gerrimiller3491]

Those beautiful fans speak volumes ⚘⚜⚘

[@kirakira139]

I watched up to 0:50 clueless of what shes doing and thinking of when shes gonna talk......

[@rickace132]

It's interesting, the handkerchief, the umbrella(parasol), and the hand fan which Victorian women used for flirting and other things, all came from China.

[@margotonnotogrambeee]

Oh well, imagine giving contradictory information with your fan and gloves...

[@sierrajohnson717]

*me constantly overheating bc I’m already always hot and the gorgeous dress makes it hotter, consistently energetically fanning myself* WHY DOES NO ONE EVER ASK FOR MY HAND????

[@sierrajohnson717]

Meanwhile I’m just accidentally telling everyone I’m engaged

[@fatedestiny7402]

1:06 what shall I do if I'm hot & SINGLE?

[@archofmind4603]

I would have messed up😭

[@alyslim5234]

you are so cute!

[@hobistinyheartbag]

What if it’s hot out there do I have to be engaged 😭

[@bugganettedupan-cheng5135]

Here after seeing the Enola Holmes 2

[@featherquill9476]

I wonder if men used signals as well, possibly not with fans... unless they did? Do enlighten me!

[@VictoriaShelg]

There is no information, but I suppose that theoretically they could (including with a fan, since it could be a male accessory too). But in practice, the flirting of objects as an instrument of coquetry, it is likely, did not correspond to the image of the Victorian gentleman

[@pushista9322]

@@VictoriaShelg If men didn't do secret flirting, did they convey their messages with something more solid, like words or letters? Something a woman would be compromised by?

[@VictoriaShelg]

@@pushista9322 Letters were a universal means of communication. Even a necessary ritual. As for a flirting of fan or gloves, in most cases, most likely it turned into a game finally

[@rebeccaramer7412]

But if everyone knew fan language then how would this even be descreet?

[@VictoriaShelg]

The point is a couple could have tgeir oun menings of gestures. So that only two can translate it. But, yes, youbare right. Since the fan language was published as a primotion trick it most likely turned out just into romantic game

[@sbenjapong]

👍😍

[@illusionalmoon4506]

Yor dress looks like miss lady rose dress from a a game cool

[@maureen.brown.8270]

Royal high

[@marniemeier3484]

I wonder where a lady would keep her fan. Would she carry it around in her hand all night or is there a way to store it in her clothes?

[@VictoriaShelg]

There were special devices - lifters. They were like tight "forceps" for gripping gloves (also fan or skirt) and were attached to the belt of the dress.

[@emmastraub6842]

🪭❤️

[@andreaflorence1764]

Can't they just tell men what they want to tell? I pity those men who had to read and overthink every gesture of a lady.

[@sandystan2248]

Back then you couldn't just talk to a man alone. that was frowned upon!
