Ostentatious or understated, hip or homey, residences serve as a snapshot in time and place for their owners and society as well. Vivacious flapper Clara Bow remained a vulnerable little girl at heart, always seeking out a…

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: The Flapper Speaks to American Women
The Flapper – via Wikipedia.
Note: This is an encore post from 2013.
Life changed quickly in the United States post-World War I. Nowhere was this more evident than in the role and actions of young women emancipating themselves from the corseted way of life to more boldly act in self-expression. The war gave more opportunities for them to come and go as they pleased, work in new jobs, experience…

(What? You didn’t know Steve stole that…
