I end up trying with the rubbish because I need to read.
The latest not only buttered biscuits at breakfast but referred several times to the waste can in the drawing room.

If you see this post from a boost, please note that it is a reply to my profile. I thank those who have boosted this and/or the main post.
While I can easily just look for hashtags, I am including many here so that other people can find me.
*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 constantly. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.*
Hello. You may have seen me on Friendica.world or blob.cat. Both had accessibility issues, so I am now here, but my other accounts are still open (dandylover1 on both). Also, if you wish to add me to MSN/Windows Live Messenger via Escargot, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat.
Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one 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 and its current varients. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, classic literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940's and earlier, with Tito Schipa, Beniamino Gigli, Ferruccio Tagliavini, and Mattia Battistini being my favourite singers. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique menswear (usually Edwardian) and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity, though I do enjoy adult fun. I am happily childfree and am not religious. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.
I am also single and searching. If you are a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man over sixty, please write to me. I will accept platonic friends twenty-one and older.

I love this idea! Rebecca Romney, who wrote Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, has curated an exhibition showcasing the women authors Austen read and loved during her lifetime. Of course, this means I need to track down these authors for myself!

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.

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!

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.

Time Out · How to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in the UK in 2025: best places to visit in Jane Austen’s England
A non-techy friend is interested in setting up social media accounts in the Fediverse and has asked me about good startup guides. She is especially interested in sharing photographs and videos of her historical dance troupe.
Recommendations for startup guides and or instances that would suit her would be greatly appreciated.
Hab mir mal Gedanken gemacht, wie es mit meinem Autorydasein weitergehen soll. Hier ein Thread dazu.
Ich möchte noch einige Bücher schreiben, 3 davon in der Reihe "#Hexen in Hamburg".
Außerdem hab ich zwei angefangene Manuskripte: Ein Fantasyroman über eine Sekte, eine #Regency Ära-Novelle mit #Polyamorie.
Und ich habe eine Idee für eine Novelle über eine #Goth Teen Person, die sich mit Mobbing herumschlägt.
Also insgesamt sechs Projekte.
