I loooooove the styles of the '20s and I wish that we all still dressed and acted like ladies and gents, but I am SO glad that I don't have to set my hair in fingerwaves and pincurls all night. Whoo hoo for triple barrel curling irons!!

Ah...but did they act as ladies and gents? Some girls checked their corsets at the beginning of the night...Zelda Sayre (later Fitzgerald) was among those who asked their date to hold her undergarments in their pockets while they danced!

True blue flappers would have been so with the tripple barrel concept, though - their hair was short and low maintenance, all the better to dance the night away and be ready to go again the next day, just dragging a comb through it. Although that, too, is a bit of a construction..

That's what I love about the 20's! They where a bit slutty, but in a classy way ;)

Exactly! They were just as scandalous as society is today, but they hid it like they properly should have. It's always best to leave a man with a shadow of a doubt. Very classy :)

I'm not sure if this will help but I found a very stiff eyebrow brush for only $1.49. It's placed in this website's "garage sale" section and plagued with two horrible reviews however I thought something like this might help create a well defined brow. Here is the link

I have never tried the '20's look but I think it's really quite beautiful. ;)

p.s. There are only 12 left.
