First off this is the video that just made my day :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccQTeDV6nto

For those of you who don't know, this is the Hanky Code http://alt.xmission.com/~trevin/hanky.html

And the Hanky Code song by Peaches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvmKEMI4Ja4

Originally used by gay men while out cursing the clubs to indicate what they were looking for that night, now adopted by the Leather Community also, and has turned more into advertising what your are into then what you maybe looking for that night. Fun stuff. :D

What do YOU flag?

Mine are hunter green, grey,(on the right) Black (both sides) purple(left) and leopard(right)

I generally stick with black and grey, sometimes fuschia if it goes with my outfit. My back pocket is only so big, y'know? It's not like I would ever pick anyone up that way anyway, I only wear them when I'm going to a gay bar. I don't think many other people round here would get it.

I usually do also unless I feel fancy that night and put my hair up ala Rosy the riveter, then I'll flag that way too

Gosh- I know it exists... but I never got into it.

Flashing the car lights and lighting a cigarette lighter can be a signal for sex.

Tho- I hadnt done too well with that. The "nod" works best for me.

FR, after read thru

Ya know, I know before I even look that it may be more useful for me to say what colors I'd not fly, than the ones I would . . . . .

Whenever I look at one of those charts I always end up wondering about the color-blind ... . & then I wonder about the fact that color-blindness tends to exhibit more in guys, & this thing was developed by / for gay guys, & then I feel sorry for all those color-blind gay guys who couldn't figure out the important differences (if any) between yellow, mustard, & gold. Or fuschia & magenta . . . . lol

I do like the fabric choices (lace, velvet, flannel, etc), that's a nice touch / extension . . . . .

Yeah, mostly for me it works out that there's a handful of those that I would not wear (mostly of the bodily excreta variety & SSC/RACK averse stuff) & the rest could go in either pocket, mostly . . . . .

&, lol, is gold lame' = muscleboy a Rocky Horror riff, or vice versa?

& as detailed & complicated as that chart is, it pales in comparison to the magnificence that is the FetLife fetish options .. . . . . Now, if we could just figure out some way to work all those things into wearable badges . . . . . . *snicker*

I guess I have to add some kerchiefs to the code for some of my specific hot-buttons:

Alien heads added on to whatever color of hanky: wanna do it with or be an alien . ..
Demon heads added on to whatever color: wanna do it with or be a demon. . .
Ditto clowns, monsters, mad scientists, ghosts, & so on & so forth . . . .

*scratches head*

Okay, but I am stumped at how some of these (tiny selection direct from my completely out-of-control, way-too-long FL fetish list) would be 'hankied':

Accents, advanced absurdity, brats/SAMs, cosplay, sacred sex, unicorns (ie, hot-bi-poly-babes)

Nice thread topic, Sunnyfey . . . Fun!

Well, brats and sams could be flagged by hunter green with lace edges (babygirl), cosplay, I'd tie in with the uniform fetish, sacred sex, a priest collar hanging from a belt loop and for unicorns? hmm. a pink,purple and blue striped hanky (pink purple and blue being the bi-sexual pride flagcolors)

I win this round I think

I think I need a funereal hamkerchief wrapped around Elvis Costello Glasses.

Which stand for "I have a 'I kill Hipster PunkAssBitches' fetish..."
