It's just so sexy! Menswear today is so awful; boring, badly made and ill-fitting. Have you read that Biography of Beau Brummel by Ian Kelly? That has some amazing detailed information on menswear!Cari Hislophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717398455999202660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598863979614130742.post-27714233165384551772011-01-15T21:22:22.302-08:002011-01-15T21:22:22.302-08:00Thanks so much for the clothes info!

I will make a point of tracking down a copy and reading it. Thanks for the tip.<br />Smiles,<br />TeresaTeresa Thomas Bohannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168835091832993119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598863979614130742.post-3922451328680022982010-12-11T16:07:18.082-08:002010-12-11T16:07:18.082-08:00Poor Emma!

If you haven't come across 'The Rise and Fall of a Regency Dandy; The Life and Times of Scrope Berdmore Davies' by T.A.J. Burnett I highly recommend it.<br />The man would have been a historical nonentity except he was one of Lord Byron's best friends from University. When Davies's debts sent him running for the continent he left in his Bank vault a traveling chest of his belongings. He never came back. The chest was forgotten for two hundred years then opened in the early 70's. The biography is one of the most fascinating windows on Regency life. The reason it came to mind was one of his (and Byron's) friends had set up house with a Mistress and the way they referred to her and treated her made me sick. In the end the man just tossed her (and I think a child) aside like a piece of trash.Cari Hislophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717398455999202660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598863979614130742.post-77639288870903307812010-12-11T07:53:12.114-08:002010-12-11T07:53:12.114-08:00Actually the university I attended offered neither...Actually the university I attended offered neither a women's studies department or even a specific concentration in women's history within the history department.... So I just signed up for any classes in history, social studies, sociology, psychology, philosophy, anthropology etc., that interested me most and concentrated my personal efforts on learning more about the lives of women in each period.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed learning a bit more about Emma Hamilton. She really was the supermodel of her time, and was literally hounded by what were, in effect, the yellow journalists and paparazzi of her day. She posed for over 200 portraits (that we know about)in her lifetime and also did performance art in her home, giving herself the opportunity to dress up and show off her beauty to select groups of the high ton--with I might add, her husband the consummate politician's full encouragement and approval.<br /><br />She also, most certainty, received a raw deal from those in power--which often happens to beautiful women as their beauty fades...and particularly to those who dared to be different. <br /><br />Smiles,<br />TeresaTeresa Thomas Bohannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168835091832993119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598863979614130742.post-68837275909523020722010-12-11T07:19:51.795-08:002010-12-11T07:19:51.795-08:00Lovely post!

Did your degree specialize in a particular era? I could easily settle my bones in some dusty library and spend years searching out forgotten secrets. I think the thing I love most about history is that you could take one event and study it from a thousand points of view and end up with nearly a thousand different stories.Cari Hislophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717398455999202660noreply@blogger.com
