~ Parasol Flirtation ~ Long ago, parasols were used to communicate a Lady's thoughts graciously; they were used for more than just accessories to women's attire. Below are some meanings associated with a Victorian Lady's parasol motions
· Carrying it elevated in the left hand- Desiring acquaintance
· Carrying it elevated in the right hand- You are too willing
· Carrying it closed in the left hand- Meet you on the first crossing
· Carrying it closed over the right hand- Follow me
· Carrying it over the right shoulder- You may speak to me
· Closing it- I will speak to you
· End of tip to lips- Do you love me?
· Folding it up- Get rid of your company
· Tapping the chin gently- I am in love with another
· Twirling it around- Be careful, we are watched
· With handle to lips- Kiss me
