The Dandy Flâneur
Bonjour and Hello!
Willkommen, bienvenue, and welcome to my little corner of the Blog-O-Sphere! This blog, The Dandy Flâneur, is all about me, my dislikes, likes, opinions on things like Art, Music, Literature, Film, and whatever else I feel like talking about. You may be wondering what a "Dandy Flâneur" is. So, here below is two defintions that might help explain it for you:
Dandy (\dan-dē\) : a man who gives exaggerated attention to personal appearance, something excellent in its class.
Flâneur (\flä-n-oar\) : French for stoller, an idle man-about-town, people watcher.
So, with that out of the way, please enjoy the blog and leave comments if you feel so inclined.
Salut

Dandyism Defined:
Charles Baudelaire on the Dandy:
"These beings have no other status, but that of cultivating the idea of beauty in their own persons, of satisfying their passions, of feeling and thinking .... Contrary to what many thoughtless people seem to believe, dandyism is not even an excessive delight in clothes and material elegance. For the perfect dandy, these things are no more than the symbol of the aristocratic superiority of his mind."
