Wench appropriate vs. skanktastic?

Halloa!

I was discussing the plethora of lovely men in kilts at Faire with my friend the other day and recalled the existence of the International Wench Guild. Upon realization that I was finally 18 (when first I discovered the Guilde 5 years ago, this requisite was highly dismaying), I promptly put in my application to the Guild. It asked for my persona name, something I hadn't thought about for a long time and so I'd like to really start making my character anew, as I'll be headed out the Asheville for college- busking and Charlotte ren-fairing on my own to combat the lonely evenings away from familiar faire folk.

Anyway, long story short, as Krisstina Trow, (now an errant alto of the Musicians Royale) I'd like to start my new faire adventures with a more saucy tone. Now then, sometimes a gentleman (or if you're REALLY lucky, a rogue or scoundrel :D) will approach you first to get the balls rollin', so to speak. But just as often (even moreso when they are the adorable awkward/lonely and surprisingly cute type) the men stay adrift, probably not noticing that you very much noticed them. So what sort of tricks might the in-character wench use to draw the attention of such a lad without A) scaring them away or B) crossing the line from flirting with bawdy overtones to being a Shakespearean slut?

Thank you SO much for your help with this- truly. :D

The next time you come to Faire, bring several lengths of blue ribbon and some small pins.  With ribbon in hand, go up to your favourite Scottish gentleman and ask if he needs his kilt checked.
After checking his kilt, reward the lad by pinning the ribbon near the bottom of his kilt.

Hello there from a wenchy chick up her in MI (that's Local 57 territory)!!

As a wench with long experience... timewise, of course.  ;)... may I suggest this approach for the shy and demure gentleman on the sidelines:

Come to about 5 feet of him, and greet him confidently, with a general compliment like: By my troth, the Good Lord hath sent blessings upon us this day -- for your presence in our village is like a ray of Heaven's light, sweet Angel....

or some such hogwash... nothing overtly sexual...at least to begin with. You have now made your attraction to his charms known, but you don't look as if you're going to devour him right then and there.

Now, if it is a rogue or scoundrel, he will not long hang back before making his desires known.

Now, since you've 'taken the veil' of Wenchdom, have you contacted the wench group in your area? I am sure they will be most happy to help you out with a great number of things. 

I am proud to say I have had the honor of Kilt Checking the Most Handsome and Rogue-ish Malcolm.... *sigh*  He certainly earns every one of his blue ribbons.  ;D

I'm a bit too shy to actually join the guild but I lurk on the forum. ;)

Oh ya!  I looked it up immediately! ;)

I think it's pretty obvious judging by your avatar that you're a good fit there.  ;D

I know a Wench when I see one.  (Sealion..... that includes you) :D

Come the fall, don't be shy when visiting the faire in Charlotte, many of us visit NCRF in the spring so you may recognize some of us. There is no reason to be "lonely" at faire, in particular do visit the final weekend when the R/F and Clan M'Crack invasion of CRF is set. Another lovely wench is always welcomed and appreciated!

So I have been reading the site but I can't find the local chapters search page. :-\  Anybody have a list or know of one(s) in the Memphis, TN area?
