How did flappers wear their hair? – Cocktail And Party 20S Style Dresses

Did they really wear it straight down their backs? You can hear them singing in the chorus in this song, which sounds like it’s written on the head of a woman’s brain:

“Flap my cap up high, flang my hair,” she sings. “Get it all done.”

But she was singing to the camera, which was filming her, not the audiences sitting in front of the loudspeakers. And so her flapper look ended up looking all the more silly, the more she did to try and disguise what was going on inside.

You might ask: Can I believe this? Can’t this prove the existence of God? Well, I have to say, no. Can’t do it. There’s God too, afterall.

I don’t know how it happened, because I didn’t notice it as long as it did, but it just did. I was born in 1952, so it’s almost forty years ago now.

And I remember that time as a long journey in me, as an adolescent who had no time to feel sad or sadder than I was at a certain age. And it wasn’t just the makeup; it was how the school was.
