I love knowledge and I LOVE to study history. Personally I think the most fascinating time for me to study is from 1900-1960. The world went through so much change it's crazy. The particular era's I tend to read about the most is the 1920's and the 1950's. But what I am most interested in are Flappers. Ever since I was a child I have been obessessed with them. I even wore a flapper dress to a end of year dance in high school. My outfit was complete with long pearls and a flapper hat!
After the Suffragette movement, I think Flappers were the next group of women to make a stand and show the world they had minds of their own! I love the clothes, the music, the movies and the attitude!
Which reminds me. I need to see if I can find my F. Scott Fitzgerald collection. Where could that have gone?
