When that flapper costume is not just a costume
The 1920s. Oh, what a time to be alive. Life was short. And it deserved to be lived fast. Debauchery and scandal infiltrated both sides of the Atlantic, from the working class to polite society. And it was celebrated.
The flapper was at the centre at it all – the iconoclastic women who came to represent this new, modern and fantastic era. For the flapper, American eccentricity collided with European style to usher in a counterculture that makes a mockery of today's Fitzroy hipsters.
Short cut bobs. Long filtered cigarettes. Late nights and early mornings. Sound familiar? Sure, it might not be the 1920s, but the flapper lives on today. Are you a modern day flapper, flaunting rules and living life in the fast lane?

You love a late night on the town.
Daylight hours are boring. They’re for the suits going to their mundane jobs to dehydrate like a prune under fluorescent lamps in an airtight, air-conditioned box. Not you. You’re a creature of the night. Almost entirely nocturnal, except for those pesky daytime duties. But once the sun sets, you’re ready to shed the baggage of daylight for something... a little more fun.
Your phone is your weapon.
Your phone is your weapon. And instant messages are your ammunition. Your first flirty text sends a salvo right into the heart of your new admirer. Sure, they’re okay. But little do they know you sent the same message five others, as well. They don’t need to know. They’re more… contestants in a competition. And you’d stand them all up for a night on the town with the girls. Better luck night time.
You love a drink at your favourite speakeasy.
Speaking of a night on the town, you’ve whipped up the group chat and are meeting your squad at your favourite haunt. Where? Well, it’s dark, it’s underground, and there’s always a line to get in. Unless, you’re on the guest list, of course. Three vodka martinis, please. Oh, and make them extra dirty. We’re here for a good time, not a long time.
You need a fast car.
A fast life needs a fast way to get around. Forget the train – or, god forbid, the
bus. You only move in
style. Whether it’s your wheels – or someone else’s – you know how to get from A to B. And when everyone’s boozed up, the night is a flurry of Ubers zipping around town. Uber Blacks of course. Oh, and who’s paying? That guy can. What’s his name, again?
You know fashion.
It’s taken too long to get to this point. A modern day flapper needs a
modern day flapper costume. Something with class and style. Something that flaunts rules and conventions. Something that’s glitzy and glamorous. Really, the choice is yours – you don’t need to be told. But if you ever want to get back to your 1920s roots, then nothing can beat a classic flapper costume.
You only trade in social currency.
You may have money. Or, you may not. But that’s not the point. You’re rich in connections and social currency. You’re the socialite in a social bunch. You know how to get what you want. And you don’t pay in dollars. That person? Yeah, they’ll cover these drinks. And that guy? He’ll get the next Uber. After all, people want to be around you. They should pay for that privilege. There’s another party you could be at, after all.
You know the rules are meant to be broken.
And finally, a modern day flapper is more than just parties, glamour and a glitzy flapper costume. Somethings just can’t be taught or bought. That long queue? You know you can talk your way to the front. Oh, it’s supposed to be your round for the bar? Well, now that round is courtesy of the bartender. How do you do it? You just know the rules. And you know they’re waiting to be broken.
You have the attitude. Get the style.
So, you’re a modern day flapper, huh? But how about you get retro. A classic 1920s flapper costume is one way to get back to your ancestral roots. Bob cuts, long filtered cigarettes and a black feather boa. Yes, a flapper costume will fit you like a glove. That’s your next party costume, sorted.
