Took a random pic before I went out to the (very civilised) kink party and OMG I love how I look! My hair looks incredible, my skin is glowing and my eyes appear to be green currently.

Hi there,

My name is Becky, and I’m a fan of your account and one of the owners of a cafe/cocktail bar in Toronto called Grey Tiger. I’ve been meaning to contact you to let you know of a mixed drink that my partner Ryan concocted awhile back that we named after your account. The Femme Dandy is a scaffa, or hotel drink, which is a room-temperature mixed drink, and is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, Propeller Coffee Co. cold brew coffee, and Amaro Averna. Served in a hand-blown glass flask from Goodbeast, the drink is full-bodied, with notes of vanilla, toffee, toasted oak, and has a slight bitterness and long finish. We think it beautifully captures the spirit of the Femme Dandy. The photo I’ve attached is the Instagram pic we posted with our description of the drink - https://www.instagram.com/p/BBDdiTzresi/

We’d love to know what you think!

Cheers!

Becky

Further to that last post and also the long, possibly slightly incomprehensible lecture about John Singer Sargent I gave to a very amused and hopefully delighted @loveisofthebody​ when visiting the Art Institute, I just feel the need to express why aspiring to embody everything about Sargent and his portraits appeals to this femme dandy, androgynous-ish queer lady.

Basically: portraits of imperious women in frothy gowns, of women who give no fucks, of well-groomed men delighting in the luxuries of life, of girls who are daydreaming about kicking you in the shins, all painted by a dandyish confirmed bachelor, recognized as an exceptional talent while also being a striving, uncertain ex-pat with class issues and an affinity for both social outcasts and self-made socialites, all of which express the general instability of American national identity in the Gilded Age. What’s not to love?

Les femmes sont belles sous toutes allures...

She is white and has dark brown hair, short on the sides and worn curly off to one side on top. She wears tortoiseshell and pale pink-framed glasses. She wears bronzey sequin joggers, a white and grey striped sweater, a purple blazer, and brown lace-up boots.]

Laughing at the little sliver of belly showing here; I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on display all day (I hope!).

She is white and has dark brown hair, short on the sides and worn curly off to one side on top. She wears tortoiseshell and pale pink-framed glasses. She wears a plaid skirt suit made up of a vest with peplum and a paneled pencil skirt in tones of maroon, green, and teal blue, over a white button-front shirt, navy tights, and maroon clog booties.]

So excited to get to wear this suit again! I need a few more coordinating shirts to wear underneath, I think.
