Flapper |
|
As they say "Sex Sells" and the Flapper
or Jazz Baby of the 1920's 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 skirt, "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...
