The Flapper

The Roaring 2o's will always be associated with the Flapper. Flappers wore their hair too short, wore copious amounts of make-up (and dare I sayit...applied it in public!), smoked cigarettes, donned short, shiftless dresses and drank alcohol. Flappers also enjoyed jazz music and became forerunners in the sexual revolution of women in the United States. The French (who I believe were jealous!) called the Flapper lifestyle 'garconne'. Garconne is French for reckless rebel! And with that rebel yell, we cried, "MORE, MORE, MORE!"
