In the 1920s, a new woman was born. She smoked, drank, danced and voted. They broke away from the Victorian image of womanhood.

Flappers had both an image and an attitude. The image consisted of drastic - to some, shocking - changes in women's clothing and hair. Nearly every article of clothing was trimmed down and lightened in order to make movement easier. The attitude was characterised by stark truthfulness, fast living and sexual behaviour. They took risks and were reckless. They created what many consider the "new" or "modern" woman.

*Imagination is the vehicle whereby we are transported to other dimensions of time and space to experience liberating adventures* * My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; to do so with passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style* ~~ Maya Angelou ~~ My background is in performing arts. I studied dance and drama in London and travelled the world doing what I loved. Now my dance shoes are well and truly hung up but I still crave and love the creative process. My creative outlet comes in the form of photography, digital painting and photo manipulation. I am originally from Manchester, England. Living and working now in Warsaw, Poland. Not on Facebook, I'm afraid ;)
