Long, Long Ago.. Actaully, The 1920's.

My first post should have been all about the 1920s as a whole, however!, i couldn't have helped myself about taking first about the amazing fashion. So, to backtrack, let's "start off" with a little more background about the 1920s in general. Women, politics, radios and gangsters were all in bloom, and some more then others! Entertainment began to emerge as one of the most favorite past times, where such people as bootleggers, flappers, gentlemen and showgirls (right) were seen in such shows that were somewhat risky to the mainstream Americans and women, who had not yet experienced the Roaring Twenties' hype. However, there was another side to the twenties, and that meant work. Careers such as constructing the airplane, the army or navy expressed the intense and hard work that the 1920s had produced over a short amount of time. On the contrary, not all was fun in games. African Americans, in my opinion, were not suffering the most out of any time period, more then the twenties. Groups such as the Ku Klux Klan began in infamy by hanging African Americans, Jews, and several other minorities. The beginning of the suffering and pain they felt, was always there, but I feel it was sparked into action by the bigots who lied inside the tails of the Klan. Also, due to the racism they exulted, More severe gangs and rivals amongst gangs were introduced. Brutal men such as Al Capone made their mark on several murders and homicides, which often had no apparent reason for these actions, and resulted in

the inprisonment in the famous Alcatraz, located on Alcatraz Island, off the cost of San Fransisco, California. But all was well in homelife. Houses became more afordable to the average citizen, and also had the luxury of heating and air conditioning, were more hygenic, were more suited to modern living, and were downright beautiful homes, even if they weren't consitered mansions.

Ovarall, life in the Roaring Twenties was beautiful, luscious, and exhillarating! I would give ANYTHING to go back and learn to live the way they did. What parts of the Roaring Twenties are you intrested in? Gangsters? Fashion? Homelife? Flappers?
