You're Invited

So here's the rub.

The Cotton Club is a swinging joint see. Its the most swinging joint you've ever been to and if it wasn't for those do gooder Prohibitioners, you'd have already been to visit. So we've decided to make it easy for you. The Cotton Club is coming to you in Lane Cove.

On 11th December, at 7.30pm, all you Guys and Dames can come along to the speakeasy. Just wink at the door and say the password. You don't know the password? Well watch this rag because it's going to be on here soon. The editor owes me, so he's promised he will publish the password, or I will be making him some shoes that allow him to swim with the fishes if you know what I mean.

I'll let you know where it's going to be soon. You can bring your wheels, but remember the Bulls are doing those Random Breath Tests, like they don’t take a snifter themselves sometimes! Personally I would recommend you leave the ride at home and get someone else to be your wheelman.

So you guys, bring your best Spats and you Gals should wear your best rags. The Dude and the Dame with the best smarts will win a prize and you can be sure it won’t be prohibition friendly, let me tell you!

Here's the technical mumbo-jumbo.

• If you think you're coming, type "YES" in the subject line of the reply email (click on reply).
• If you want to be a square and not come, type "PARTY POOPER" in the subject line of the reply email.

Let us know by 13th November, or I'll be sending the heat around to check up on you.

Now remember, its a dangerous world out there in the Whisky free zone, so you need to leave your partners safely at home.

Flappers

I like the new breed of gals around these days. They are called Flappers. They wear short skirts with bobbed hair. They listen to the best music of all - Jazz. They like to doll up and wear lots of makeup with dark red lipstick. They like to drink, smoke and drive automobiles.

I love the gals glad rags.  They are the cats meow.

They wear their long stringy pearls and head bands with feathers.

Their stockings are fishnets and they carry a long cigarrette holder.

Then of course there is the most famous flapper of all. Miss Louise Brooks. Aint she a picture?

The Charleston

If you come to the club you must learn the dance of the moment. Everyone is doing it.

The Charleston!

In case you are a square who has never seen it, take a look below to get some help.

Hey Mr Zoot Suit

There are some cool cats that come to the club. They wear their pin strip zoot suits. Some squares don't like them much. Why don't you be the judge. Aren't they lookin' sharp?
