femme flagging

Silver right ring finger (femme for femmes)

Traffic light middle finger for consent

Gold for threesomes

flaggin.. I’m a black unicorn (in the sense of audre lorde)… and i am all about kissing and the camera but only my girl cuz I’m taken (purple’s her favorite…)

Terrible webcam photos ahoy…

Anyway, I’m just flagging for myself since I live in bumfuck nowhere, but four fingers are dark gray fading into teal, with the middles being glitter silver.

Inspired by the frenzy around femme flagging, on June 17, FUSE teamed up with Nouveau Riche Vintage to bring Toronto a queer manicure party. We drew on ceepolk’s finger meanings to make up the following chart, and everyone who got a manicure had a consultation to pick out colours, based in part on the queer hanky code, but also including gems like gold sparkles = born again gold star and traffic lights = consent. The femme flagging blog was a great place for people to draw inspiration too! This was just one experiment in systematizing which fingers we use to flag with. You can choose one or two fingers to flag with, or go for them all. There are still sooo many variables the you basically have to ask people what they’re flagging anyway, but isn’t there something nice about femme flagging as a conversation starter?

One thing we’re trying out here that we haven’t seen anywhere else is using the thumb as a cruising finger; while the other fingers can all be used for sexual practices, desires, preferences, relationship statues, or things about our own identities or those of our future partners, we thought it might be good to have one finger that approches hanky flagging a little more closely. So, if you’re flagging “Spank Me” on your thumb, it means you want it now, it’s like, “meet me in 10 minutes in the bathroom and let’s get down to it,” whereas flagging on the other fingers is more subtle and involves conversation. This, of course, keeping in mind the first rule of flagging (flagging does not equal consent). 

What do y’all think?

flagging queer/i’m fabulous (and fuck off if you think otherwise) with the chunky glitter polish on my middle fingers.

Hey y’all! I love this Femme Flagging idea so I thought I’d share. Pink is for queer femmeness Black/glitter is for exploratory SM bottom Follow me!

Sorry, I’m still figuring tumblr out and messed up on submitting a photo. Here’s another try, black pointers and middle fingers, white traffic lights on both sides, purple glitter thumb and sharpie trans pride thumb. I hope I did it right this time!
