#beaubrummell — Public Fediverse posts

Here are two older posts of mine that may be of interest to the dandies, dandy lovers, historians, and those curious about antique fashions.

In this first post, I will provide links related to men's fashion during the Regency and Edwardian periods. My apologies to those who prefer Victorian styles, but I don't know much about them. I am, however, willing to learn. My interest in Regency clothing and culture is connected to my love of dandyism, and my interest in Edwardian clothing is because that is how I wish to dress personally.

Here, you will find links pertaining to dandies and dandyism as a whole. It is the culmination of at least five years of research, though I am constantly finding new things to add to my collection and am always open to suggestions. Topics include General Links on Dandyism, Books, Beau Brummell, and Regency Dandies.

The Fediverse is normally not the place to do this, but why not? I will begin with what I want in a #partner and/or a #friend and then explain a bit about myself. I am also considering this a second #introduction.

In a partner, I am seeking a #man over sixty who is well-educated, well-dressed (suit/tie), confident, and witty. I have no interest in bdsm, daddy-daughter things, rough play, etc. I simply adore the voices, bodies, experiences, and company of #seniors . I would prefer you to either live in or near #NewJersey or to be able to visit me frequently if you don't. No married men (or those in relationships), one-night stands, parents/caregivers, workaholics, or recreational drug users. I am open to both fun with no strings attached and a committed #relationship , but I must get to know you first. For #friends , I am a lot more lenient. You can be either a man or a #woman , should be over twenty-one, and should share at least some of my interests. You don't have to be #single or live in or near New Jersey, though if you do, we could become offline friends and go places together. No drugs or drama. Please note that I have no understanding of depression, anxiety, mental illness, low self-esteem, etc.

Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I chose it in honour of #BeauBrummell . I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying #dandyism , nineteenth-century #English #grammar , #UpperReceivedPronunciation , the #Italian language, #BritishHistory , the #Regency, and #MS-DOS and its current varients. I like #coffee , #tea , #wine , #cooking , #ClassicLiterature , #nature, historical #documentaries , old BBC radio shows , #gardening , #cats , hot weather , relaxing in the pool, and playing #cards and #dice . I love #opera and #operetta , particularly singers from the 1940's and earlier. In #ClassicalMusic , I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique #menswear (usually #Edwardian ) and accessories. I love #wit , #wordplay , and dry #humour without vulgarity, though I do enjoy #adult fun. I am happily #childfree and am an #atheist . I also have no interest in politics or world affairs. I have been totally #blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, reading, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940-s and earlier, classical music, from Baroque through early Romantic, and popular music from the 1950's through the 1970's, along with some acoustic recordings. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am happily childfree, am not religious, speak my mind and am against political correctness. I also love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

This is my dating post on Mastodon, which is shorter than the one on Dreamwidth. It's somewhat similar to this one, but it contains an explanation of what I am seeking in a partner.

Aside from being a crazy day weather wise here in New Jersey, it is also a wonderful day to celebrate. Today marks the 247th birthday of George Bryan (Beau) Brummell. This man has had a profound effect, not only on my life by changing it into something truly wonderful, but on the world and the entire history of fashion. He rose as high as a commoner could possibly go in society, even befriending royalty, then fell as low as anyone could possibly go, ending his life penniless in an assylum. Along the way, he touched the lives of an untold number of people in his own lifetime and billions who came after him. Sophistication, eloquence, wit, dry humour, talent in several fields, curiosity, and a drive to succeed were all his. He carved a name for himself, not due to the achievements of anyone else, but to his own unique characteristics that made him the consomite dandy, and for me personally, the ideal man upon whom I base my own desires fora partner. Even now, in 2025, his influence can be felt and seen everywhere and is appreciated by anyone who values cleanliness, proper dress, excellent speech, a biting tongue, and the confidence to enjoy life to the fullest, no matter what anyone else may think, do, or say.

Below is a post from Dreamwidth related to dandies. In it, is an entire section devoted to The Beau.

On 30 March, 1840, the long and terrible suffering of a truly magnificent man finally ended, and the world lost the best example of dandyism it has seen before or since. While I normally love to celebrate the birth of George Bryan (Beau) Brummell with links, facts, and a sense of excitement, there is a sort of quiet acceptance on his death anniversary that some things must, and should, end. The last year and a half of his life was torture. But the life, itself, was one filled with so many highs and lows, from being at the very top of society and friends with the Prince Regent to at the very bottom and penniless in an assylum, from dictating fashions and the whims of the upper eschilons of the bon ton to having only one pair of trousers, that it could very well be a tragedy written for the stage. Yet, in his sixty-one years, Brummell single-handedly changed the face of male fashion forever, and bent the will of his superiors to his own, thereby achieving a goal that most in his own class, let alone below it, could only dream of. And his dreams, when they did come in fits of madness, were not generally of regrets and things that he wished he could have done and seen, but of ones that he actually experienced. From him, we learn not only about the necessity of cleanliness and dressing well, but also about enjoying all that life has to offer, persuing one's passions, and that one not need change the world through grand deeds or conventional accomplishments. Sometimes, just being oneself and following one's own path to reach one's dreams is enough. And really, what do we take with us but our memories? What do we leave behind but the memories of those who knew us, and at times, glimpses into our lives and world via letters, diaries, memoirs, and biographies, if we are lucky enough to have them written about us? The world of Brummell may be long gone, but these lessons, this great achievement of immortality, shall remain with us. And, for those of us who love dandyism, we will have a great model to learn from, and in some cases, to base our own desires for a partner upon. Who better to represent the ultimate ideal than the man who embodied it?

To learn more about The Beau, go to my link on dandyism. There, you will find an entire section on him, with everything from quick articles to books.

*Updated.*
Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.

This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

I'm in awe right now, but I need some advice. For several years, I've been seeking the book that Beau Brummell used to learn Latin. I know it was Introduction to the Latin Tongue for the use of Youth. There were many different editions, including The famous, but later, Eton Latin Grammar. He attended Eton from 1786 to 1794. I have a digital copy of one published in 1795, wich fits the timeframe perfectly, but it's a mess when trying to read the "full text" with NVDA (my screen reader) or to convert the pdf to text. Likewise, I have one from about 1824-5 that is a reprint of 1795, and though it's a bit clearer, it's still full of errors. The hard copy reprints I've found are all pictures of the originals, not cleanly retyped. Just now, I found an original 1824 edition, and it's in clean condition! I'm quite afraid, because I am totally blind, and in order to read it, I must hold it and turn the pages so that my software can scan it! I can either use my ArX Vision, which I wear on my head, or my Pearl Document Scanning Camera with Openbook. Either way, I would be touching a book that's 200 years old! However, no one seems to have a modern copy that is retyped. All are just pictures of old editions, and when I try to convert the pdfs to txt, or to read the pre-made html versions (all at the Internet Archive), they are full of errors! This would be fine in English, but I'm using the book to learn Latin!

As a side note, here is my post in which I explain my search for a Latin tutor. I have not yet found one. If you think you can help me, please read said post before simply writing that you are a tutor. I am not using modern methods or pronunciation.

Finally, this is the syllabus for the pre-1868 Eton College curriculum that I created after a lot of research. It includes links to the books I plan to use, as well as extras.

I can either use my ArX Vision, which I wear on my head, or my Pearl Document Scanning Camera with Openbook. Either way, I would be touching a book that's 200 years old! However, no one seems to have a modern copy that is retyped. All are just pictures of old editions, and when I try to convert the pdfs to txt, or to read the pre-made html versions (all at the Internet Archive), they are full of errors! This would be fine in English, but I'm using the book to learn Latin!

As a side note, here is my post in which I explain my search for a Latin tutor. I have not yet found one. If you think you can help me, please read said post before simply writing that you are a tutor. I am not using modern methods or pronunciation.

Finally, this is the syllabus for the pre-1868 Eton College curriculum that I created after a lot of research. It includes links to the books I plan to use, as well as extras.

I'm in awe right now, but I need some advice. For several years, I've been seeking the book that Beau Brummell used to learn Latin. I know it was Introduction to the Latin Tongue for the use of Youth. There were many different editions, including The famous, but later, Eton Latin Grammar. He attended Eton from 1786 to 1794. I have a digital copy of one published in 1795, wich fits the timeframe perfectly, but it's a mess when trying to read the "full text" with NVDA (my screen reader) or to convert the pdf to text. Likewise, I have one from about 1824-5 that is a reprint of 1795, and though it's a bit clearer, it's still full of errors. The hard copy reprints I've found are all pictures of the originals, not cleanly retyped. Just now, I found an original 1824 edition, and it's in clean condition! I'm quite afraid, because I am totally blind, and in order to read it, I must hold it and turn the pages so that my software can scan it!

I can't believe I didn't post this earlier! Anyway, here is a Dreamwidth entry of mine containing all sorts of links related to dandyism, including an entire section on Beau Brummell. As you can tell, this is another one of my great passions.

In case you missed it, this one is devoted to fashion itself.
