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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If you have to ask, yah, probably...

OK, I confess that when I say "hair band," I really mean Poison. Because I luuuuv them.
Do I need them?
Do you aspire to be a teddy boy?
