Sally Rand The Amazing Fan Dancer

You are probably asking yourself

"Why am I looking at this?"
Well, dear friends,

I'll tell you.

I was working on some tags for 

Karla's Birdsong Swap.

So, far, I've made 4 out of the 7 needed.

I felt they were lacking something.

But what?

I decided to change it up 

and work on some different tags.

Tags, that have nothing to do with song birds.

And,  I made these:

By the way.

I love this one.

Read the ticket on the bottom left hand side.

Cracked myself up 

putting this one together.

Then this one caught my eye.

I focused on...

 This torn ticket!

And if you think anything else 

you should probably get your mind out of the gutter.

The Folly Theatre

Kansas City, Missouri

Sally Rand the famous fan dancer came all the way from Chicago

to Kansas City to perform her amazing fan dance.

Much to the delight of the Kansas City

male audience.

Notice the lovely, classical music that is playing.

Sally Rand did not have a stripper pole!

Why I am able to remember this infamous fact

and could not remember that my dentist appointment 

was for NEXT Friday instead of today...

well, I don't have an answer for that.

But,

growing up in Kansas City I heard this story

and it popped right back into my brain

for some much needed inspiration.

Feathers.

It made me think of feathers!

And I finished the tags you see here.

                                                                            

Sing

The Nesting Instinct

On A Wing And A Prayer

The Birdman of Alcatraz As A Youth

The Cat That Swallowed The Canary

All thanks to Sally Rand's inspiration.

I'm sure she inspired a lot of other things!

In her day.

Just saying.

But for me, 

she inspired these tags.

I guess inspiration can come from just about anywhere!
