What a Whoopee! Bright Young Things at the United States Party: A Captivating Glimpse into the Roaring Twenties This enchanting photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, an era of carefree abandon and exuberant living. The image, titled 'What a Whoopee!', showcases a lively group of bright young people, dressed to impress, at a United States Party given by the charismatic hostesses, Marion 'Joe' Carstairs and Ruth Baldwin, in 1930. From left to right, the dapper figure in a top hat and tails is Lord Donegall, who adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. He is flanked by the captivating Olivia 'Babe' Plunket Greene and her brother, Richard Plunket-Greene. Olivia, a socialite and actress, exudes glamour in her shimmering sequin dress, while her brother, Richard, cuts a dashing figure in his tuxedo. The United States Party was a regular event in the social calendar of the 1920s, and these bright young things were known for their extravagant costumes and spirited behavior. The partygoers danced the night away, fueled by Prohibition-era cocktails and the infectious energy of the era. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, where the bright young things of society embraced life with a zest and enthusiasm that continues to inspire us today. The image, with its vibrant colors and lively energy, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Roaring Twenties and the unforgettable parties that defined the era.
