Victorian Parasol Flirtations

Much like the modern woman, Victorian Ladies were concerned with porcelain complexions...

In Victorian times, the parasol was the original SPF 30, providing shade from direct sun. By the early 1800's parasols had become a wardrobe necessity that no fashionable Lady could be without. Here are a few clever flirtations for Victorian style fun in the sun:

1- Carrying it elevated in left hand: "Desiring your acquaintance."

2- Carrying it elevated in right hand: "I am willing."

3- Carrying it closed in left hand: "Let's meet at the first crossing."

4- Carrying it closed in right hand: "Follow me."

5- Carrying it over right shoulder: "You can speak to me."

6- Closing it: "I will speak to you."

7- End of tip to lips: "Do you love me?"

8- Folding it up: "I wish to get rid of your company!"
