Art Deco perfume bottle by Turriet & Bardach, made in Czechia circa 1930.
1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”
Waiting for wristwatch anklets to make a comeback
Hazel Prewitt, ca. 1920s
We're having a Jazzy July here at the Prompt Foundry in 2026!
Sit down at the bar or the piano, grab a drink or a dance partner, and let the music move you!
Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events, like last year's Dancing In December for a little music-and-dance double feature, or Aug-UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) from 2024 to really plus up the sensual potential. Draw, paint, sculpt, sing, write fiction, write poetry, write academic analysis—use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.
If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see what you create!
Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any, or posting your work after the day the prompt is assigned to. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!
If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.
Plain text list below the cut:
The 1920s woman was all about independence and freedom, with a wardrobe that reflected as such. The corseted, constricted silhouette of previous decades was long gone. In its place came the tube shaped drop waist synonymous with 1920s style. While glitz and glamour is often associated with the decade that shepherded in the Jazz Age, women's fashion moved toward the simple, with streamline shapes and hems shorter than they had ever been before. Casual sportswear had long been in fashion for men, but by the twenties it also made its way into women's wardrobes. In fact, one of the most popular style icons of the decade was tennis star Suzanne Lenglen. Outfit details under the cut.

In today's round of Bright Young Things research, I have discovered a "male impersonator" (in modern terms: drag king) named Florenze Tempest, who is an absolute delight and big gender mood for half the transmascs on my dash.
Restarting my tumblr, wanted to put more of my original work up :~7 here's a piece from a couple months ago I'm quite fond of.
