The Bright Young People is a nickname given by the tabloid press to a group of young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London. They threw elaborate fancy dress parties, went on elaborate treasure hunts through nighttime London, and drank heavily and experimented with drugs—all of which was enthusiastically covered by the press.

(It also looks like what would happen if the peeps had a party.)

Cecil Beaton again. Am green with shirt envy. (Though the sleeve length would make my arms look terrible.)
