Two big misconceptions exist about 1920s fashion. Contrary to popular belief, women didn’t always wear fringed flapper dresses with feathered bandeaux and a long strand of beads. There were many other styles of evening dresses. The other misconception is that hemlines in the ’20s were worn way above the knee. No matter what John Held, Jr. showed in his classic cartoons (right), it just wasn’t so.
Evening clothes were made of luxuraious fabrics -- mostly silks — in velvets, taffetas and chiffon. In the mid-1920s, sleeveless silk chiffon dresses were were often embellished with elaborate beadwork. Sadly, few of these beautiful dresses remain in wearable condition today because silk chiffon dries out and disintegrates with age, and, if the dress was stored on a hanger, the weight of the beadwork often stressed the shoulder fabric, causing damage.

Researches have shown that there is a significant decrease in metabolic brain activity when an individual stays awake for 24 hours at a stretch. Due to sleep deficiency, the body temperature also goes down and there is a reduction in functioning of the immune system.

This is why it is important to know which ones look good on you and which ones you should leave for the magazines.Do not copy a celebrity hairstyle just because it seems attractive in the first look. Of course, attraction is a source of inspiration but try to understand and know, in detail, what will suit your personality.
Rock star styles. Rock stars often have extreme forms of hair. One popular style for men is to have dark, straight hair swept over one eye. Another popular style is to have strangely colored hair such as blue or red. Rock starts are usually the biggest hairstyle risk takers. However, after a few years usually the extreme style has been modified and is used in every day life with ordinary people.
