If he lived down and under here, a long holiday at this time of the year would be perfectly understandable -- you simply cannot dress in layers and pocket squares when the temperature is up around 30, and there is a limit to how much time you can spend cruising around in airconditioned  limousines, or indeed where you can go around these parts. But on inquiring further, I find he lives in California, and summer is no excuse. He has close ties to the fashion industry . . . and I think that would be the problem. In fact he and his crowd would live off the back of the fashion industry, drifting from soiree to soiree but not when a global financial crisis really sets in. The Dandy says so himself -- he now has to go out and work! The Dandy may even soon be going door to door, offering to do odd jobs. It is not a good look at all. Also . . . The Dandy declared Sebastian Horsley (banned from entering the US) Dandy of the Year for 2008. I confess I knew nothing about this geezer, so here's a bit of bio (click his pic). I liked it anyway.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:58:34 -0800 http://de-novo.stumbleupon.com/review/27516492/ De-novo - "The true dandy was not the most foppishly dressed, the most stylish, the most flash-mannered; he was primarily an artist of talent."

As he says in a video snippet recently posted on YouTube, "The dandy is the great illusionist who makes you believe in something that doesn't exist. Everyone else is just as phony as I am; I'm just a real fake.""]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Tue, 09 Oct 2007 22:38:44 -0700 http://dashiell.stumbleupon.com/review/13321285/ Dashiell - Just dandy.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Wed, 16 May 2007 01:20:02 -0700 http://b-bear.stumbleupon.com/review/9814437/ b-bear - One of the best guides to dandyism I have come across - either online or in books. Dandyism.net includes lovely fashion tips, a canon on dandyism, links and a fine blog that brings the dandy's perambulations into the 21st C. I recommend reading Jules Barbey D'Aurevilly's "Dandyism" (1844) while sipping a fine white wine and then casting a discerning eye over this site. ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Mon, 12 Mar 2007 06:01:24 -0700 http://kahlilagibran.stumbleupon.com/review/8508883/ KahlilaGibran - Pure eye candy . . . though I don't look at him the same way since the sordid matter of the airliner toilet. Not very dandy-like at all, Ralph. Actually, you're a fake dandy, a fake Avenger and a fake advocate of safe sex. A fake all round. ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Sun, 11 Mar 2007 09:02:17 -0700 http://caravia.stumbleupon.com/review/8492924/ caravia - Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw were dandies, to be a dandy is to be a relic from the old times where fancy clothed men and youngsters walked with canes in the crowded streets of London.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Fri, 31 Mar 2006 22:33:10 -0800 http://suzukibeane.stumbleupon.com/review/3755582/ suzukibeane - dandies, fops, nancy boys ... here's the goss.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net Mon, 09 Jan 2006 11:29:11 -0800 http://lyrical.stumbleupon.com/review/2998642/ Lyrical - "the last flicker of heroism in decadent ages" beaudelaire]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.dandyism.net
