What I admire about Ms Baker was not only was she a strong woman but she was socially aware and not only stood up for women's right but also for "Black" rights. A very brave woman and one to remember 4ever. Love the video.

Thanx 4 postng.

Thankyou, yes Josephine is one of my favourite flappers- she was kind, caring, funny, beautiful and she made a difference. Its surprising some people I talk to, they've heard of clara, louise and olive but not josephine, find it amazing they don't know...her being such an inspiration xxx

[prettyparisian]

No, it's a series of famous flappers, I've separated them with title slides (their names are listed in the info box). At 0.56, that is Clara Bow :D xx

All of them are so young... 18-20 years old, not older. I guess 35 was a time to retire those days :)

Clara Bow was the "IT GIRL" right/ she had those Vamp eyes, the eye liner made it more hypnotic. Good times, racy gals. woo hoo. LOL. The music is BORING REPETITVE, with the birds, then goofy sax...over and over..enough already! IMHO
