    The fan seller knew that the señoritas preferred a manual breeze instead of roses in the Spanish summer.

    /// Many Spaniards are big fans of fans,

    and the interest in using them spans

    wives who can’t take the heat,

    girls who flirt on the street,

    also men (some of whom may be trans).

    On a hot day, everyone flocked to the market that had air conditioning.

    Spanish street life is lively and gay/

    The flamenco is danced every day/

    But the flame of all flames/

    (And the shame of Spain’s shames)/

    Is the one called the “auto da fé”.

    It is easy to do a wave in the stands.

    It’s where Lord Windermere bought the fan he got for his wife. It’s a Wilde story.

    While lowcut blouses were a proven distraction, the use of fans was only for the more advanced and skilled female pickpockets.

    You don’t want to be there when the $hit hits the fan. It’s really messy

    This looks like locals ignoring yet another performance of “La Cucaracha”.

    The fan seller

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Paintings of women holding folding fans" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string Burgess, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3191 (September 21, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 3 works by him have been used here, the December 29, 2020, strip being the prior.

    If you were trying to sell garages would you put up a GARAGE SALE sign?
