Michael and his little Treasure : Celebrating Father's Day 

Becoming a Father was the most emotional and greatest moment of my life, my Daughter means absolutely everything to me. With her birth I was bestowed with the title of Dad, something that can never be taken from me, I will always be her Dad.

  dap·per |ˈdapər| adjective (typically of a man) neat and trim in dress, appearance, or bearing.  

Dapper is one of those words that seemed to have gone awol for a decade or so, seemingly inviting itself back into our lives and I believe it is due to the rising (again) of the ‘Gentleman’.  I would and do class myself as a Dapper Dad. I look after my appearance, I sport a 50’s esque slicked hair style with side parting, a beard and I have a penchant for a good bow tie.

  I love that Dads can now be harking back to the good ol’ days of when Gentlemen looked like Gentlemen. As a Dad I love to feel Dapper, it’s a compliment if ever there was one for a Father. To be called a Dapper Dad is empowering and confidence educing. I want my Daughter to be proud of me, to one day talk about me as a Gentlemen and a Father.

  Pride in appearance and my bearing says a lot about who I am, it also shows my Daughter that her Dad is someone to look up to.  Time has proven that the good grooming gene is often passed down from gentleman senior to gentleman junior, never more truthful in my case. My Father, Fathers Father and my his Father all were what we would describe a Dapper Dads, well groomed, well dressed and of the highest demeanour. Why it became the norm to not have these qualities is beyond me. With no Gentlemen Gene to pass down (yet), it is imperative that I show my little girl what it really means to be a Dapper Dad.
