#dandies — Public Fediverse posts

I love these 'Dandy's Perambulations' cartoons from 1819. No idea who drew them but they make me chortle. #dandies #Regency #cartoons #artsky #BookChatWeekly

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.

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.

*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 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.

This is my "Stop the SCOTUS" profile picture. He AND Clarence need to be impeached & removed. If Democrats win House & Senate & do NOT expand the court, we will lose our ability to regulate pollution in this country, contraceptives/ abortion pills will not just be federally banned but outlawed nationally, marriage equality will disappear, & more.

Today's brief awake time despite #neuro illness saw me tackle a couple of piles. Stuff sorted. Things put away, things brought out for attention (inc books to read). Things to go to #charity shops including lots of #DandieDinmontTerrier club magazines. My gggg-granddad in the #ScottishBorders was a pioneering early breeder. I recorded a video talk about him some years ago - link below. My husband also grew up with #Dandies next door in rural #Somerset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRq6XqoNn_s #Dogs #Dogstodon

They have nothing but scorn for the poor English cucumber, slowly liquefying in the crisper.
