Welcome to issue 21, the tenth anniversary issue of Zelda Magazine!
For our Fall/Winter issue our cocktail historian Garret Richard describes Planter’s Punch and author/historian/barkeep Jeff “Beachbum” Berry shows how Prohibition and Repeal led to the creation of “tropical” cafes, rhum rhapsodies, and the birth of tiki! We’ll explore flapper’s signature accessory, the headband, and demonstrate ways to wear a pocket watch. Kathryn Smith recounts episodes in the life of flapper and society bon vivant Gertie Gertrude Sanford Legendre and we interview the bandleader/ musical director and producer of Babylon Cabaret, and interview Chicago transplant and burlesque hostess Kami Oh!
As always, Mr. Burton advises on social engagements, we display images of the past season’s Jazz Age events in “On The Town,” and our Recipe Box goes back to 1920 for “Baker’s Coconut Recipes. And in honor of our first issue, we revisit the great metropolis of New York City.
