Intro – Why Pride Matters
Pride Month is more than just glitter and parade floats—it’s a celebration of identity, resistance, and radical self-love. It honors the legacy of the LGBTQ+ community, especially the Black and brown trans folks who led the charge at Stonewall in 1969 and beyond.
It’s a reminder that being yourself, fully, loudly, and visibly, is still an act of courage. At I’m Hot and Fabulous, we believe in celebrating that courage, and we’re here to fan every flame of fabulousness this Pride season.
Fans as Symbols of Self-Expression
In queer culture, a hand fan isn’t just something to cool off with. It’s a moment. A movement. A message.
From the underground ballroom scene to drag brunches and Pride parades, fans have long been used to punctuate drama, throw shade, and demand attention in the best way possible. That snap? That clack? That’s not just a sound—it’s a statement.
Whether you're dancing, posing, voguing, or just feeling yourself, a hand fan says what words sometimes can’t: “This is me. Take it or leave it.”
Celebrating the Communities We Love
We are endlessly inspired by the LGBTQ+ community—by the drag queens who slay every stage, by the trail riders who bring the energy, by the ballroom dancers who make art from motion, and by everyone living boldly and authentically every day.
These are the people who’ve turned a functional object into a cultural icon. These are the folks we design for, cheer for, and celebrate with—during Pride and always.
Pride Hand Fans: Designed with Love
Our fans are loud, proud, and made to move with you. From neon colors to holographic shine, from flirty florals to punchy slogans, we’re always dreaming up designs that reflect the full spectrum of queer joy.
Some fans make a statement. Others are the statement.
Made from FSC-certified materials and designed for drama, every hand fan is a tribute to individuality. Whether you’re waving one at a parade, in a performance, or just on your porch, we want you to feel seen and fabulous.
How We Support Year-Round
We believe Pride is more than a month. It’s a commitment. That’s why we:
- Collaborate with LGBTQ+ creators and performers
- Highlight queer-owned brands and artists
- Celebrate inclusive stories on our platforms
- Design for everyone, not just some
- Use sustainable materials so we can keep celebrating for generations to come
Our support isn’t performative—it’s woven into the fabric of everything we do (along with glitter, of course ✨).
Let’s Get Loud – With Love
Pride is power. It’s a protest. It’s joy. It’s a community. And it’s also a really good reason to turn heads with every fan flip.
So whether you're clacking it up at a drag show, dancing your heart out at a street fair, or just having a hot flash moment in a parking lot, you deserve a fan that moves like you do.
This month, we honor every snap, every sway, every bold moment of visibility.
