here's a tid bit about me....i love flappers. its "my time" in history...then or the 40s...i love flappers. i love the roaring 20s (minus the social injustice). its just such a cool time in history and the music was awesome. i like the 40s for the same reason. its just such an amazing time. some may find it completely weird that i love such "depressing" times but i think those periods in history were just so cool. don't worry...this isn't going to be a history lesson (entirely)...of course it will involve clothes, makeup and such.
flappers are on my mind alot b/c i want to have a 20s inspired birthday party this year. for the past few years my group of awesome friends have had some fun birthday parties. one year i was given the coolest 'LOST' themed birthday party that took months and lots of dollars to plan. then we had a spy birthday party for tabby (my roomie) that lasted all weekend, involved special out of town guests and spy missions. it was so fun. so this year, after i was flapper for Jerica's halloween bridal shower, i decided that this was the year i was having a flapper/20s party. all the men were so dapper and awesome and the girls were so cool too! the flapper is everything i wish i could be as a "broad." and are what comes to mind when i think of the phrase, "well behaved women rarely make history." she was irreverent, didn't settle down and spoke her mind. she shocked the world by cutting her hair, drinking, smoking and kissing boys who weren't going to be her husband. to say it shortly, frankly my dear-she didn't give a damn.
i'm so excited for my party i could die!
what's your favorite time in history?
