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.

Now entering its 21st year , The Sheridan Club is a place where devotees of the philosophies effused by The Chap / The Chap Magazine may engage in the frank exchange of badinage, persiflage and bons mots, and be sure they are among equals. #thesheridanclub #chappism #vintagelifestyle #chatroom #forum #gentleman #ladies #fops #dandies

Since this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.

I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).

I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories. Even a bathing suit would be great, since we do own a saltwater pool.

This is my dating post for the Fediverse. I will start with what I want, in order not to waste anyone's time.

I am seeking a man, preferably over sixty, who dresses well (or at least appreciates fine clothing), and who is well-educated, well-spoken, confident, and witty, or at least, not offended easily. You can be either straight or bisexual. You should enjoy the finer things in life, but you need not be rich. I have no interest in bdsm, role-playing, etc. I simply adore seniors and soft members. I would prefer you to either live in or near New Jersey, or to be able to visit me relatively frequently, but I am willing to start online and see where it goes if you're not local but meet my requirements. In either case, I must get to know you first. No one-night stands, parents or men who want children, caregivers, workaholics, or recreational drug users. I would also prefer someone who is not political and doesn't involve himself inworld affairs or the drama of others. I am open to both friendship with fun and no strings attached, and a committed relationship.

A shortened version of my profile is below.

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, cooking, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, hot weather, playing cards and dice, and cats. Musically, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, with Classical being my favourite. I love English and Viennese operettas. I am starting to learn about opera, focusing on singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to their style. I prefer antique menswear and accessories, and I would love to own an Edwardian suit. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious.

A much longer dating post can be found here, but it can easily be ignored, as the essentials have already been mentioned.

I wrote both of these posts in their entirety on Friendica, but these are the Dreamwidth versions. If there is enough interest, I will repost them separately, here on Blob.cat. Please feel free to comment here or on Dreamwidth. If you do the latter, though, kindly let me know that you saw this on Blob.cat so that I have an idea of how far this post reaches.

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. If they are good enough, I will include them here. Please feel free to comment with any that you would like me to consider.

In this 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 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.

How Fashionable!

*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.

Impeach & remove Alito & Thomas! How is any of this acceptable? They don't follow the ethics rules for judges in regional superior courts, they don't follow their own, new ethics guidelines (which of course are not enforced by anything or anyone)...

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
