			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we think of a woman of the &#8216;Roaring Twenties&#8217; it is likely that we are picturing a 1920&#8217;s flapper. Flappers emerged on the scene about 1926 and the fashion embraced all the modern styles of the day.  </p>
<p>A flapper normally had short hair, a shorter than average dress that exposed her limbs, was heavily made up and smoked with a long cigarette holder.  She was the epitome of a young girl who danced the nights away during the Jazz Age.  No wonder flapper fancy dress is so popular!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A gangster, or mobster, is someone who is a member of a criminal organisation, usually associated with American prohibition during the 1920&#8217;s, as well as infamous individuals such as Al Capone.</p>
<p>Gangsters have been romanticized in popular culture, especially in films such as Bugsy Malone.  So it is little wonder that gangster fancy dress is so popular nowadays at fancy dress parties.</p>
<p>The word &#8220;mobster&#8221; is a term derived from the Latin word &#8220;mob&#8221; meaning &#8220;crowd&#8221;. The full term mobster actually means &#8220;member of a crowd&#8221;.  However, we believe that if you go to the party wearing one of these great gangster fancy dress costumes you will in fact stand out from the crowd.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A moll, or a gun moll as they were more commonly known back in the twenties, was a female companion of a male professional criminal, or gangster.  The &#8220;Gun&#8221; was not derived from the firearm that they may or may not have carried with them, but instead from the Yiddish word meaning &#8220;Thief&#8221;.  Meanwhile, &#8220;Moll&#8221; derives from Molly, used as a slang term for a prostitute, since the 17th century.</p>
<p>Despite the negative implications of being a &#8220;thief prostitute&#8221;, the gangster&#8217;s moll fancy dress is today a very popular choice for parties.  Indeed, the gangsters and molls fancy dress is an especially popular choice for couples going to a fancy dress party together.</p>
