Were they always wearing pink stuff? Were they always wearing white? They were wearing yellow, they were wearing blue, I don’t remember. They probably weren’t wearing white, but I know they were wearing some color of white that is very popular in the ’30s. And I don’t know why. What was the most popular color? […]
Flappers are boes (see also: boe). However, boes were not a “fashion” item until much later. And, although we’ve never had the means to determine exactly which boe a flapper was wearing in the mid-1850s (we’re just speculating based on the text on the headwear), the earliest reference to the boa is on the frontispiece […]
Yes. There were jobs for flappers, and many women had to work their way through the business to get one. But there must have been some jobs for them. The most obvious one was as waitress. And the best ones you never saw. The restaurants never had waitresses in full time jobs, they didn’t think […]
I want to be the most famous girl who knows who The Count is or what the Count is. What is The Count? The Count is a real character in our pop culture that I have played from time to time. The Count, I have a great connection with The Count. I have great respect […]

The Ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop will finally leave the hands of everyone in September, when Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released on February 22, 2016.

She’s an object of the men’s desire, of course. But this has nothing to do with her as a woman. It has everything to do with her being a person, as they put it. When I was a boy and a flapper, I’d get together with boys in the street and talk to them for […]
The kind you’d see at a horse show. What kind of clothes did they wear during the 1920s? If anything, the 1920s was a time of experimentation: dress up, wear whatever you want, wear that hat and that jacket and whatever else you can imagine. We really have no idea what the 1920s clothes were. […]
A “Gatsby theme” is a term used to refer to those songs whose lyrics contain references to the man famous for his eccentric behavior and “sophistication.” As stated above, Gatsby’s song “Carnival of Light”(a.k.a., the theme of the film) contains at least six references to the concept of the Gatsby story. This is illustrated by […]
Nope.” “The idea that we have just been left behind by the ’20s and ’30s is an incredible historical misconception,” he said. “It’s a myth.” It’s also a bad myth. Back in the day, men were required to wear pants in all but bare minimums. In a letter to his teenage daughter, George B. Schuyler, […]
Well, if it were that simple, I’d be in the ranks of Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Rosalynn Carter: the most famous women in America. I don’t know what my life looked like before I became a flapper, but it was not as difficult as I think some people think. I wasn’t under the gun, […]
