Flapper at the party: Carrie

Fellow blogger, Carrie of In The Hammock, had had an earful from a Mrs. Grundy. She slips into Floyd's library to check out his shelves.

She comes across something that is just the cat's meow...

Bright Young Things:
A Modern Guide to the Roaring Twenties
by Alison Maloney
The essential primer to everything Roaring Twenties—hot jazz and hotter all-night dance halls, high society’s controversial exploits, Prohibition cocktails, opulent costume parties, and, of course, all the glittering trappings of the notorious flapper.

BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS invites you to step into to the unforgettable Jazz Age and try on its irresistible allure with sections on:

How to Be Bad: The Flapper Life: A bobbed hairdo, open-backed dresses, some local lingo, and the enticing influence of Coco Chanel is all a flapper needs to start on the road to decadence.

Entertaining Tips: A revival of scavenger hunts and costume party themes, along with the perfect jazz playlist for any dinner party or soirée, and the dance steps to go with it!

Vintage Cocktail Recipes: The Gin Rickey, French 75, the Mary Pickford, Bronx Cocktail, and more

Roaring Movies and Books: A list of must-see and must-reads for the true ’20s aficionado
Trendsetters of the Era: From Cecil Beaton’s shocking surrealist photos to Lillian Lorraine, the most celebrated dancer of the Ziegfeld Follies, an essential collection of “Who’s Who” of the 1920s
