Try this exercise. If you have the time, I’d suggest doing 20s curls at least 10 times a week. (This is all in just 1 week!!) For the first few curls, focus on working up to 12 reps, with 2 total sets. (10 reps, 2 sets) Then work up, and finish out with 10 reps,2 […]
If it’s a dress, shouldn’t its silhouette allow for more freedom for the hips? In truth there are some girls who are more at home with the shape and curves, and they may think that there is nothing wrong with it, but there are others out there who have very defined curves and they want […]
(Photo credit: iStock) Flapper girl hair is one of the many ways one can style one’s hair up to look “girly.” One of the most popular ways for those with a fluttery or straight hair style to style their hair up to look more feminine is by using flamboyant colors and hair shapes to give […]
It might be called that because it has short sleeves. The idea is that women with short sleeves look pretty sexy, and a good amount of flapper dresses have short sleeves. But they’re also pretty short, so you have to wear them in summer, when the sun’s rays are the strongest, and people wear dresses […]
Dolly. Why do some people believe in ghosts? A number of reasons. One in particular, in my view, has stood out over my lifetime. It comes from a letter to my family by the late Charles Dickens about a character in his novel, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. Dickens describes a “poor and sad creature”: […]
Yes. Yes she was a feminist—but not because the dress was too short or the shoes too high. Because the flapper wore the most revealing outfit, that of the dandy, the one where her legs were barely covered by trousers and one could just walk into a church and leave without the people seeing. This […]
One theory is that the first movie produced in large-scale 3D, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” opened in theaters in the U.S. on Nov. 8, 1920, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday. (And yes, the actor who played Rudolph is also the guy who played Mr. Potato Head in the TV series, “DuckTales.”) Some historians go […]
I had a very feminine feeling to it. I like to have a feminine look when I wear dresses. I like to have a great taper line, so you don’t see the hair too far down my back. I’m an independent girl, I wear what I like; I’m not that model who dresses up all […]
The answer is simple but it’s really hard to find, since no one knows when that color was invented. You might want some help by exploring this fascinating history of the flapper-vintage movement. In the 1870s, there was a small (and relatively unsung!) movement to revive the flapper style. You could buy dresses in flapper […]
As a rule, women of all races didn’t wear pants in the 20s, so we’ll focus on people of color. “Boots.” Boots were worn and still are very popular among women of color. “Apron” or “dress.” This kind of dress usually includes a skirt and was not as common as it is today. But women […]
