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.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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?
[Edit: did I mention lately how much I love the "Search" function?]

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.

Teddy boy stuff: [link]
Hair was cut into an outlandish DA (Duck's Ass), long jackets were juxtaposed with thin, bootlace ties, stovepipe pants were cut short to show off patterned socks - and the look was completed with suede brothel creepers or winkle-pickers.
What the heck are "brothel creepers"? "Winkle-Pickers"? Do I need them?
