Bright Young People
Before the Brat Pack, the Rat Pack and the Jet Set- there were The Bright Young People, or Bright Young Things of 1920’s London. The British tabloids adored and scolded their costume parties, pranks and elaborate city wide scavenger hunts. Alcohol, art, drugs and sex fueled these escapades. They represented the seeds of a more Bohemian England as the sun set on the Belle Epoque.
