bright young things
The Bright Young Things, or Bright Young People,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=14 - 1920s Entertainment 1920s Music 1920s Popular Entertainment Radio 1922 Sports Pink Flannel )〕 was a nickname given by the tabloid press to a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London.〔Philip Hoare, ‘Tennant, Stephen James Napier (1906–1987)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004〕 They threw elaborate fancy dress parties, went on elaborate treasure hunts through nighttime London, drank heavily and used drugs—all of which was enthusiastically covered by journalists such as Tom Driberg. They inspired a number of writers, including Nancy Mitford (''Highland Fling''), Anthony Powell (''A Dance to the Music of Time''), Henry Green (''Party Going'') and the poet John Betjeman (''A Subaltern's Love Song''). Evelyn Waugh's 1930 novel ''Vile Bodies'', adapted as the 2003 film ''Bright Young Things'', is a satirical look at this scene.〔 Cecil Beaton began his career in photography by documenting this set, of which he was a member.
