    Well, I went to pick up an orange hen saddle the other night, course they are all in a locked cabinet, and the girl who came to open it for me commented that some guy had been in and cleaned out the saddles (which I wanted to get a brown one but alas, none left). She said that her friends were buying Flashabou or Crystal Flash in their hair cuz they didn't like the feathers. Great.............

    yep, we've been seeing that down here, too. It peaked around prom and graduation time, but so far we haven't had the shortage on flash. I only wish I could say the same about almost every kind of feather.
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    Flash is as popular with the younger set (16 and under) who want less bulky looking stuff...and all over head accents, instead of just around the face.
