-As they say "Sex Sells" and the Flapper or Jazz Baby
of the 1920s started the "Sexual Revolution" (or
maybe it was a rebellion) that is still going on today. The
Jazz Baby would rid herself of the burdensome Corsets, Roll her
stockings, shorten her Skirts, "Bob" her hair (cut
short), Smoke, Drink, Cuss, practice heavy petting and engage
in sexual encounters.
The
most celebrated Flapper was Clara
Bow known as the "It Girl" with Louise Brooks and
the animated Betty Boop placing a near second.
-The
Flappers and their male counterparts would change the bindings
of the past. The Collegiate, Black Bottom and Charleston were
the dances they would love to do. The Hedge code would curtail
the movies from exploiting the evil doings of the flapper, then
came Mae West ... More to come...
