'Dandyism, on the other hand, is far closer to a compulsion than it is a philosophy. It is an obsession, more often than not irrational, and occasionally bordering on a psychological disorder. The true dandy cannot behave any other way. Like homosexuality, dandyism is rarely a choice and its practitioners must live by its dictates or be doomed to a life of hypocrisy, unhappiness, and the secret suffering of the underdeveloped and unfulfilled, to say nothing of cargo shorts, Croc shoes and baseball caps. A dandy unable to be a dandy would atrophy and die, which is exactly why one sees dandyism appearing in the most difficult of circumstances, defeating capricious circumstance - it cannot be easily squelched'

Where do they expect us Edwardian dandy women to put our pocket watches when there are no pockets in women's waistcoats??? A tragedy and an injustice.

all dandy aesthetes are immediately sortable into either 'messy bitch who lives for drama' or 'messy bitch responsible for the drama'
