"Flapper" was defined by Joshua Zeitz in Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern "the notorious character type who bobbed her hair, smoked cigarettes, drank gin, sported short skirts, and passed her evenings in steamy jazz clubs, where she danced in a shockingly immodest fashion with a revolving cast of male suitors.”
I was born for this era but since I born in a world of computers and i use the holidays as an excuse to get out my beaded dresses and play pretend.
For those who would like to learn here are some pointers:
1) Dress yourself and your room:
Flapper dress from the early 2000's
$60
(Poster from the Timeless Images Show years ago that I found in a friends attic)
2) Learn the latest dance steps (twerking is not dancing)
1920's Flapper dancing the Charleston
$15
(on a personal note I just found Flapper Doddle a few weeks ago and I am obsessed with her shop - all my friends are getting Christmas presents from her)
3) Smell like Zelda Fitzgerald not Taylor Swift (Shalimar can make the best good girl seem bad)
Shalimar Parfum 1oz
$325
4) Read the classics (both Gatsby and Vile Bodies) and then watch the movies

5) Add something to your day that makes you feel as my grandmother says "fancy"

Sincerely,
