I am a new member and just wanted to stop by and say hello. I love things that are old-timey, and am glad to have stumbled across this community. I love flappers/their style. A lot of my shuffling (LOL, yes, I just said shuffling) is inspired by flappers and their moves. =^_^=

Long ago I made myself a tank top, inspired by flapper dresses, it was awesome...I wish I still had it!

Maybe I'll make another! :D

Current Mood: cheerful

“The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure … she was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do. Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim and most of all to heart."

Zelda Fitzgerald, “Eulogy on the Flapper”, Metropolitan Magazine (1922)
