After reading your post Collin, movies, advertisement, and media did indeed change the idea of America's sexuality into a whole new perspective. The 1920's did unleash America's sexuality publicly by women reveling more skin, less clothing and expressing themselves more freely. However, you brought up Josephine Baker as an icon and sex symbol of the era. Is Josephine Baker considered to be an example of a "Flapper?" In her videos she wore a banana skirt, danced sexy and revealed lots of skin that was never publicized before by anyone else. Were there any other factors to why she did what she did or was it a common thing for her to do? Surprisingly, sex, sexuality, romance and passion in movies were popular then as they still are today.
