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.

Georgiana BrummellJun 19, 2025

*Please only add me if you're over twenty-one.
Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.*

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, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, old BBC radio shows, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940-s and earlier, and I adore the tenore di grazia and lyric tenor voice types. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I like 1950's through 1970's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories (no feminine clothing). It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. 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. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, an intelligent, single, childfree man over sixty, please read the link below and/or pass it on to him.

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?

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.

Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app), since their main page is barely accessible with a screen readr. However, I noticed many accessibility issues there as well, and they will take quite awhile to be resolve. I have, therefore, chosen to switch to the Blob.cat instance of Akkoma, though I do not intend to delete my Friendica account.

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, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, with Classical being my favourite, while in popular (listen to rarely), I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's, and some acoustic recordings. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. 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 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. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.

Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.

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