so, the Bright Young Things were a gang of artists, socialites and wild ones that were much thrown together in 1920's England. They included Cecil Beaton, Evelyn Waugh, Stephen Tennant, the Mitford sisters and some other nearly forgotten rich people.
My favorite is Baba Beaton, Cecil's sister and first muse. This is one of his famous photos of her, "A Symphony in Silver."
She is awesome, no? When I first read about her, I decided that had to be the greatest name ever. When I get a female cat, she will totally be named Baba Beaton.
