the 1920s ball in Denver Colorado better known as the White Rose gala
today on Colorado martini living the 1920s were a very special time people
were prospering women had the right to vote they start cutting their hair short
and wearing short dresses and there was a whole new type of woman that was on
the frontier of the 1920s but prohibition was going on meaning alcohol
was illegal so many of these speakeasies start sprouting up in the basements of
hotels and buildings and liquor was made in the bathtub or strange stills and a
lot of the alcohol didn't taste very good so it was also the birth of the
cocktail mixed cocktail with really good fruit drinks because they wanted to
disguise the flavor of this alcohol that this bootleg alcohol they didn't taste
very good so they started mixing it with juices
and a lot of cocktails that we still drink today are were born
so I have my hair all done for the White Rose gala tonight I'll be wearing a
headband to make it a little more 1920 style and wearing a really cute flapper
dress and also wearing open-ended gloves so I can actually use my cell phone and
mr. martini is wearing kind of a gangster hat with a vest
the one thing I've noticed about getting ready for this fall is that men's
clothing really hasn't changed a whole lot that we were able to get his outfit
completely at a department store and not have to actually get a costume now mine
I bought online which I'll put a link down below of all the things that I am
wearing I've found this beautiful beautiful dress I actually bought two
one in black and one in green because I'm playing on going to this ball every
single year and these dresses were absolutely beautiful and the quality was
really really good it's all beaded and has rhinestones on it but what I loved
about it is it didn't look like a costume it looked like a custom-made
dress and it's absolutely beautiful so definitely check out the link below
because I think it just even if you were going to a regular party that this dress
would be really fun to wear
so when you're going to a era event like we do a lot we do the nineteen forties
ball in the summer and sometimes we do the 1914 fall in the
winter there really a lot of fun they have everything from 1920s and then 40s
60s 80's all the fun eras but this is the first time we've gone to a 1920s
fall so what type of things do you need well again the male version is really
just getting some type of fedora that has a wide brim on it otherwise their
outfits are very simple usually a vast a bow tie or a regular tie maybe you know
rolling it up your white shirt rolling it up in some slacks and maybe some
wingtips and they're good to go art dresses as the women are more of the
flapper style so I just absolutely love this dress
and again I will be putting a link to it down in the description but you know
it's your typical flapper dress with a you know the frill on the bottom I
actually have two dresses each one this is the one I am going to be wearing
tonight it's more of a green color so I'm really excited to be wearing it also
to the women's dresses had more of a heel like this
I found these online too and again I'll put down in the description where I got
those and remember all the links that we put in our videos help support this
channel so we really appreciate you clicking through with our links when
shopping and so as you can see it's you know it's done it will come across like
this when it straps and these are these beautiful box heels
and they don't need to be a high-heeled also you need you know something like
you know a curl bracelet to make the outfit I mean isn't that going to just
look wonderful with this I mean it's just wonderful and then the headband
which you'll see on me once it gets close to that time because
I need to keep my hair nice until tonight
and then this beautiful rhinestone necklace again I brought all the stuff
online the biggest thing is this my girlfriend was saying when he went to
the 1920s Christmas ball she wore gloves you know the ones that
go up to your elbow but that you couldn't use her phone and be modern
women not 1920s women we want to use our phone and especially as a youtuber I
want to be filming so I found these be wonderful gloves that will go up my arm
but it's lace on this side and this hooks onto my finger so it basically
well when I put it on will go like this and so I can actually do filmy and then
you can see my nice nails so if you do wear these make sure you get your nails
done because it looks better you'll make it look more elegant and then of course
a boa credit thing about each leaf feathers everywhere I mean I pulled this
thing out of the bag if I can do it right now because if it's others were
everywhere but they definitely wore full of clothes and it will go really really
good with these dresses so I am so excited and this is gonna be a lot of
fun
as you can see it's so much simpler we just got this at an apartment store and
we bought the bow tie online and it's just a basic dress shirt you know like I
said men's fashion hasn't changed so much and then it's actually snowing here
and it's cold it is New Year's Eve and so he comes has this shiny jacket we
felt that this was you know very 20s the shininess of it and you know we could
buy a lot of this stuff after Christmas at half off so we ended up getting this
half off cause that again links down below and then of course you need to
couple this with a gangsta Dora so we actually thought this one on line two
this is actually and of all the things that we have is really the only thing
that I got in a costume store but nowadays you can get you know nice
fedoras and store but this was not extended a bit all you know and it's got
the brim that comes down in the front so pretty cool I have a couple of choices
on earrings I have the ones that are in my ear I have these really nice ones I
think I'm gonna wear these so you want something that's dangly you don't want
to wear hoop women in the 1920s didn't wear hoops they wore more of these
dangly and most people didn't have their ears pierced they wore clip-ons as far
as purses this one has a little strap you know rope that goes over your
shoulder and so does this one but they always have these small little purses
they would take with them so I can't decide which one I'm going to use so I'm
going to take both of them this one probably would fit my phone better so
but this one goes better with my outfit decisions decisions
