The Roaring 20's

"In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The Roaring 20's. Full of parties, alcohol, and lots of glamour. F. Scott Fitzgerald perfectly sums up what the 20's was all about. The 20's would be my first choice to go back in time to. Going away from past cultures into new more exciting ones, the 20's was the place to be. After all  breaking away from tradition is always adventurous and boisterous.

The years of the 1920's were the golden years of America. Almost everyone was wealthy and worry free. The 20's was best known for its Jazz Age where both girls and boys discovered new ways to express themselves. Women were beginning to gain their own voices and broke away from society's "rules". These women were known as Flappers. The 1920's Flappers wore "short" dresses, had skin showing, boyish bodies, and SHORT HAIR! It doesn't seem like such a big deal now,but short hair on a girl was possibly the most shocking thing to society. I'd love to be able to go against the beliefs of society and express myself the way no one has.

On top of breaking away from tradition, the 20's was the era in which alcohol was banned due to prohibition. The cool thing about that is being able to go to a Speakeasy! You could drink illegally without being caught in these awesome hidden bars. They were almost EVERYWHERE in New York City. Some are still there and are used today! The Speakeasies were hidden very creatively and were bound to be safe from any kind of trouble with the law. The 1920's was simply incredible and the perfect decade to have fun drinking and partying 24/7.
