@freyawest brought over a set that wasn’t getting much use. From sad in the bag, we did a conversion to the 8″ staves to get these a bit more dense, fluffy and lighter. The color combo is just so fun!

Flirt Conversion
This was a fun conversion and color change for @boobsradleybq! The set was originally white on acrylic staves. After getting the feathers off, @fancyfeathercom dyed them to gun metal. A little investment can help you get a set of fans used infrequently back to a set you truly enjoy.
Beige Flirt
Just a simple double layer flirt size in beige with gold staves done for @ginatomorrow. This set is simple, classic, durable and versatile!
Light Blue Flirt
Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in silver and two 18-24″ light blue from @fancyfeathercom
White Flirt
Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in white and two 18-24″ white from @fancyfeathercom
Oopsie Tip Dye
Oopsie-dye! Sometimes match dyes are just impossible to get right. This set features 28 8″ staves with a single layer of gorgeously fluffy 25″+ premium plumes purple with grey tips. The set is about 25″ at center and 45″ wide.
Custom Rose Flirt
These feathers are also continuing their journey on with @gaea_lady! Fans are just one of her many mastered props that she literally can hypnotize any audience with.
With me from nearly the start, these feathers have been mounted on every bare, painted and now powder coated version of my metal staves. Their custom color will always be a favorite of mine and part of my brand even before I discovered fans.
As @gaea_lady calls her burlesque program, these fans have P(;)ssy Magic that I’m happy to pass on!
The set is a flirt size double layer has 24 8″ staves in Class B Silver (kind of a sparkle metallic with a pink hue) and two 18-24″ plumes.
Baby Pink Flirt
Simply lovely! Matching Flirt 2 in DonnaTouch.com/ostrich, this flirt size double layer has 24 8″ staves in Class B Silver (kind of a sparkle metallic with a pink hue) and two 18-24″ baby pink from @fancyfeathercom
Bright Pink Flirt
This set matches a Flirt 2. Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in pretty pink and two 18-24″ bright pink from @fancyfeathercom
American Fans
Fans are a petite flirt at about 20″ at center and 40″ across, on 24 8″ staves in silver, single large plume and drab each, with white felt stars.
Continuing the process of evaluating, refurbishing and selling of my own personal fans, my American Flag set needs to find a new act. I used the song Honey Pie by the Beatles (which you are absoltely welcome to use with these). It was a really fun twist with British flag pasties. Especially on Memorial Day, our flag takes on a lot of different meaning to people. While great for a 4th of July fling, they could complement a political statement piece.

Lilac Art Nouveau
A perfect combination for LadyLily La Douce!
The art nouveau stave set really does pop so well with the colors she picked! The staves are in a new color called heavy black metallic (it’s a gloss black with silver flake) and the lilac feathers (they photographed way more purple, but they are a true lilac in real life) are from Fancy Feather.
Flirt conversion
Cutie flirty flirt conversion done for Sally Marvel.
She had enough small wing feathers — more durable and have the same feather texture as plumes, but are shorter with a more narrow shape — to do a double layer across 24 staves. Using the 8″, the set is pretty compact and dense. But this is a great set for small spaces, crowd work or just a flirty bit.
Emerald Eve
A gem for the gem, Emerald Eve!Flirt size double layer with 26 8″ staves in Fir with two 18-24″ plumes in emerald green from Fancy Feather. I designed the gold bar “handle” that simply bolts on and off. Fans collapse as well.
Flirt 2 black
Done for Mrz Frizque
For this Flirt 2, each fan features 12 8″ staves in gloss black with a double layer of plumes from @fancyfeathercom
Topaz conversion
I met Anadelia at the fan workshop (hosted by Miss Isabelle Marie) and was able to take her fans home with me for her conversion!
These moved over from Hot Fans staves which are big, heavy, bulky and not built for performance. The feathers are now on a set of my 8″ staves in gold bar. This cute flirt set is ready again for the stage!
If you’re converting from Hot Fans, keep in mind the limitations of the feathers. It’s great that they don’t glue, but the feathers are cut to a rounded shape. Usually our only option is to move the feathers to a flirt size set or use them as a front row and add a fresh top row.
Flirt in white
FLIRT SIZE with full plumes (matches to an upgraded Flirt 2). Each fan features 12 8″ staves in almond with front 18-24″ and top 25″ row plumes in white (natural white and not bleach white) from Fancy Feather
Custom peach
Touring performer, promoter, performer and PR extraordinaire Shelby Doll reached out with a fan emergency… her fans were ruined while on the road and she needed a set shipped to her next stop! While I don’t usually have a lot of stock at the house, I had recently done an extra set of solid peach when testing colors with Rainbow Feathers. The color worked for her and I was able to ship them as fast as I could build them!
The set features 14 8″ staves in vintage peche, top row of premium wide 25″ plumes and shorter solid in the lower custom peach. These were expertly picked and dyed at Rainbow Feathers.
Orange ombre
Ombre orange beauties done for the vibrant Kasey Kupcake!
Kasey requested a set that was dynamic with an ombre from light to dark and featured her signature color. There are so many variables and since I’m still inventing new styles with dye patterns, attachment layering and stave options, sometimes (even for me) it’s difficult to predict just how things are going to turn out. For this project, I took a risk and just built what I knew would be beautiful and (luckily) Kasey agreed. To be honest… I was so thrilled with the result, I wouldn’t have been sad if they had to stay mine.
It’s wonderful to work with performers that have a great concept for their fans, but it’s great to have room to flex, experiment and achieve something unexpected!
The set features 14 8″ staves in vintage peche, top row of premium wide 25″ triple dip ombre plumes and shorter solid in the lower custom peach. These were expertly picked and dyed at Rainbow Feathers.
Dark purple delicious
An upgraded Flirt 2, this set features 13 8″ staves and a flair accent stave is Class B Silver and dark purple plumes from @fancyfeathercom. The accent stave is encrusted by @boldburlesquepasties (purple velvet and violet, lavender, amethyst, and periwinkle rhinestones, @varlavavoomluxurycrystal paradise teardrop claw set crystals, wilted rose teardrop claw set crystals, and vintage, repurposed earrings).
Flag Red
Vintage Peche
Shapeshifter web
Flirt size double layer with 26 8″ staves in satin black, two 18-24″ plumes in a dark green-teal custom and black from Rainbow Feathers. The front plate is a new “handle” that simply bolts on and off. Fans collapse as well.
This is the first embellishment project with Bold Burlesque Pasties!
Misty blue wave
Rich for Maggie
Full project done for Maggie McMuffin!
These deco inspired front plate handles by my design partner Katrina to bolt on and the full set of fans. Amazing design that can be dazzled up.
The fans are ivory double plumes from Fancy Feather with natural peacock from The Feather Place on my 8″ staves.
Pro tip! To get peacock to follow the curve of your fan, you need to lightening “curve” each, individual feather stem with a curling iron on low.
Navy double
Flirt size double layer with 24 8″ staves in misty wave blue and two 18-24″ navy plumes from Fancy Feather.
Red double layer flirt
Sometimes just one fan is needed!
This flirt size double layer is on 11 8″ staves and a flair stave on the inside. These accent staves are something I’m playing with. They provide more surface area for rhinestoning and help protect feathers if you prefer to hold your staves away from the base or attach to your costuming. Plumes are Ferrari red from Fancy Feather.
Chartreuse for Chartruice
These are impossible to scroll past, so no doubt they will help Chartruice command all the attention from any stage!
In an exquisite color, these are an example of Flirt 2 (24 8″ staves double plume) package upgraded with a tip dye on the top row.
Blue Ombre
Playing again with single-ish layers and ombre dyes. Fans feature 14 8″ staves in alloy silver, 25″ inch triple dip ombre top plumes and front drabs in a light blue from Fancy Feather.
Flirt size white
Upgraded FLIRT SIZE
Every bunch of feathers has its own personality, so I’m still playing with configurations that always achieve the best results. Final size of each is about 29″ at center and just under 50″ wide. Each are on 14 8″ staves in glozkin teal, with a 24″ top white plume and custom dark turquoise from Fancy Feather.
Glokzin Teal
Peach Conversion
Just a simple conversion with some really great feathers for Carson St. Clair. Her double layer on the 8″ staves condensed things a bit for a dense, lush set in this light color. Plushiest peach!
Converting to my aluminum staves still gets you lighter fans, slimmer grip, easier open/close, less damage to your feathers and potentially larger size. Consider a conversion to refresh your fan, when adding more feathers or switching to a specialty design.
Flirt – upsized double layer
Each fan features 12 8″ staves in gold and 24 20-27″ plumes in beige from Fancy Feather.
