Hmm... Besides the evident failure of Prohibition, do you know what other trend I've noticed recently? Women! Or rather, their style... Take the young women of today and compare them to the ladies of 10 years ago and, my friend, you are in for a real surprise.
"Flappers," I hear them being called - the new women of the 20's. Talk about an age of liberalism! I've seen them come and go at ol' Gatsby's parties, dancing to jazz, bobbing their hair, wearing makeup, wearing increasingly shorter skirts... Even the young woman who lives down the street from me now drinks and has taken up the habit of smoking!
At first, I only saw these liberalized ladies on the silver screen, but I've noticed that as time passes "the flapper" encompasses an ever-expanding range of women. Well, one thing is for certain: Throw social American norms out the window, the 20's are now in full swing!
