They're like giraffes that way.
There's an analogy that I'm not getting.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The dandies will totally win. They're like giraffes that way.
Plus, you know, all that pent up rage at not being fashionable for a century.

Sue, I think it's from the discussion that started in Kat "Natter 40: The Nice One" Nov 13, 2005 8:58:15 pm PST:
Who'd win in a fight? Giraffe or hyena?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now I'm picturing a streetfight between gangs of dandies and metrosexuals. Sorta' like The Warriors.
Husband made me watch that the other day. That's a strange movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, everything is my fault, you know.
I know you like to say that, but I still don't believe it. So there.
Where do hair-metal bands fit in, in the dandy-->metrosexual continuum?

Ann, that's a ferret.

If they shower regularly and cook occasionally, metrosexual. Otherwise, dandy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I dunno - I wouldn't rate the hair bands as a group. The New Romantics, otoh were straight dandy. So to speak.

For England, it's a little different: Dandy-->Teddy Boy-->Metrosexual. Or maybe Dandy-->Teddy Boy-->Glam-->Metrosexual.

my scale:
hair bands--------------------------------------------------------drag queens
in btw I think it'd go: glam boys then crossdressers then dandys then metrosexuals
just in terms of high maintenance.
