The cultures and the lifestyles of the 1920s were just being created a new. Such as flappers – created by John Held Jr. Flappers wore bobbed hair, makeup, and dresses that came right below their knee. They were always trying to do something new. Like new fashion, behavior, and dancing. Also another new thing about their cultures and lifestyles was an assembly line. Which was when different workers at different stations, who would add parts as the belt conveyor pulls it along. These were many of the new cultures and lifestyles of the 1020s. At that period of time things were just getting created. New inventions, fashion, and leisure time.


The cultures and lifestyles of the 1920s differ from right now because now we are used to everything. The inventions, fashion, money, education, job, and so on. Mostly all inventions were made around in the 1920s. So it was more important for them. It was very different for them. But now we can expect how something might look like. For example, a car. Back then they all looked the same. Nowadays, there are different types of cards with different features and colors. So that is how the cultures and lifestyles of the 1920s are different from now.

I want to dress like Sweeney Todd for this melodrama I'm performing (I'm a sinister character with mysterious and deadly intentions) and I wanted a really cool costume.

I need to know-
Hair (technique and color)
Makeup (exagerated)
Clothes (of course)
And possibly some help on an accent or mannerism?

Keep the costume simple please, but tell me what must be done to achieve the look.

Thanks!

2007-11-14 12:48:05 · 7 answers · asked by :) Miss Hockey Lover :) 4 in Books & Authors

the lover is a mirror
in which one may see oneself.
When the lover is present, pain ceases;
but when the lover is absent,
the youth is filled with yearning inspired by love;
and its image of requited love lives within,
but the youth believes it to be friendship, not love.

from a relationship with one not in love,
watered down by deathly prudence,
with deathly and miserly regulation,
will be implanted in the soul of the friend
an unfree virtue praised by the multitudes;
wandering around the earth for nine thousand years
the soul is left under the earth mindless.

A heart , that sees no posse ho.
