I first came to know him as the fabulous Sherlock Holmes, and fabulous he most certainly is, my goodness I have never seen such elegance in a crime drama and certainly never seen Sherlock Holmes depicted this way on American screens.
His name is Benedict Cumberbatch, an up-and-coming actor with already a lot of grand performances under his belt.
And boy can he strike a Dandy pose in any outfit he is put in.
He looks good in and out of a suit.
Coats and jackets love his frame. He really shows how a suit, coat or jacket should hang and frame the body.
But what I also love is that when he is not in something that demands you serve it, he can present relaxed and casual in such an elegant way.
And he even allows whimsy to come into play, you’ve always got to make the outfit your own!
And for all you Trekkies out there look for him in the upcoming Star Trek – Into Darkness playing the villain (villains always get to wear the best clothes, I hope they stay true to this.)

I just clicked on the Opening Ceremony page of the 2012 Olympics|London and we now have 3 hours and 19 minutes to go before all we hear (like it’s not happening already) for the next two weeks will be about the Olympics.
I was a much bigger fan when I was younger. I loved both the summer and the winter Olympics. Now I am a bit meh about the whole thing (I hate to admit) though the opening ceremonies are hard to resist. They are very much equal to a mix of high concept runway show and high octane Cirque du Soleil (with slow parts in between).
There’s been a lot more fashion talk than usual about the designers for the Olympics, Stella McCartney’s participation definitely helped. Even Ab Fab came back from the dead to participate (I love those women!)
I watched the Olympic episode last night and the funniest bit were the ones with and about Stella.
Of course Ralph Lauren is the Proud Outfitter of Team USA (why is the girl in the back and why is there only one!?!)
And if you are itching for some Olympic gear of your own it is everywhere, but I really liked what Nautica came up with for a Dandi sports look.

- I am simply in love with Men’s Fashion Director for Neiman’s Nick Wooster!
- This cut will give you a more edgy look.
- I jumped on board. It will give my preppy tendencies a sharper edge.
- Fem’s are rocking it too. Go Cassie and Milla!
- Try it long in the front…
- Or like Sasha Mallory, do something different and fierce with it daily!

You want gorgeous and proper? Then look stage left and welcome Commonwealth Proper. Custom and ready to wear clothing made for the stylish Dandi.
And these fabulous designs are made in the U.S.
Look at this beautiful three piece suit and the gorgeous collar on the vest, styled beautifully with a sleek patterned hankie.
David Arquette is one of the owners (and who doesn’t love a movie star that also has a clothing line…) and I’ve certainly got to love menswear that fits our beloved Dandi Chaz Bono so well.

Kara Laricks of the interesting new fashion show Fashion Star, is one of our own and is showing herself to be a great designer.
On the first week of the show she didn’t quite ‘wow’ us with her innovative collar and tie designs. It’s not that they aren’t fabulous, it was just that she made the strange decision to make her first impression to us and the buyers by showing her first line against the backdrop of someone else’s clothes.
Kara wound up with no bids and in the bottom three but was thankfully saved for this week where she not only rocked it out with her fashion sense and dress creation…
but created a bidding war between H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue, with the initial bid starting at $50,000 and Saks winning out with the highest bid offered any designer so far at $110,000. Kara is the fashion Dandi to watch. I think she will do very well on this show and in her career as a designer. Go to Saks and buy her latest creation for your sweetie today!

Ooo – la-la!! Azmarie is hot by anyone’s standards and she was last nights winner of America’s Next Top Model. Every season Tyra tries to stir things up with a bi-sexual or lesbian but this season she definitely out did herself with Azmarie. Even my sweetie has a little crush on her (and if she were my type I wouldn’t be able to resist either.)
You know I love androgyny so I absolutely love Azmarie’s look. She was clearly born that way. Her pouty lips and intrinsic personal style are almost too hot for television.
I was scared for her last week because she did not deliver on her photograph and I was afraid that despite her gorgwa-ness she wasn’t going to be able to make it work on camera.
But she more than made up for it this week and brought not only delivered a not picture but also brought it as a leader and creative director (though I also think she excelled because she loved being able to touch all the ladies!) 
My household is rooting for you Azmarie. I hope you get to be crowned America’s Next Top Model. We all will be well represented.

Dandi’s are showing up all over television these days and last night when I watched my dvr’d recording of The Voice there was a most talented Dandi, Sarah Golden, singing her heart out against rocker Juliet Simms from Cee-Lo Green‘s team.
Sadly Sarah was not picked to go through. Her gentle folk singer stylings just could not compete with Juliet’s hard edged rocker voice. A pity too because Sarah has a very sultry and beautiful voice. Quite a talent, if you ask me.
And though that’s great that Sarah can sing and all, but this is a fashion blog and I have to say the other thing Sarah did well is present her Dandi style to us each time she appeared on camera. I really liked the way she dressed from audition to performance. Her style reads confident and for the most part it fit her body well.
This is the picture they have up of her for her album (go buy it!) on mytexasmusic.com. She looks a lot like Jody Foster in her younger days (who would have thought it!?!)
Congratulations Sarah for getting as far as you did. You have a bright future ahead of you.
Another Texas Dandi doing great things!

Okay, I am a huge fan of Iron Chef America, so of course I am addicted to The Next Iron Chef. Now we are down to the last two and I am definitely team Falkner!
Yeah, they all thought just because she is a well known pastry chef that she would be a push over. Especially that Jeffery Zakarian, who was still talking smack and being belittling after she whipped everybody else’s booties.
Good luck Chef Falkner! I sure am looking forward to you being The Next Iron Chef!

Internationally known tailor Richard James, known as the ‘modern face’ of Savile Row is now collaborating and creating luscious bespoke inspired ready to wear all over the place.
Not only has he dressed the biggest names in English society but Hollywood icons as well . And if that weren’t enough he is sharing his craft by being a teacher to the next generation of tailors and cutters (awww…).
These suits are a classic but modern interpretation of the traditional British suit (even with tennis shoes as styled above). Richard James creates clean tailoring and beautiful silhouettes. Though Richard started out with suits he has expanded into shirts, knitwear, outerwear, swimwear, accessories, and shoes. (Gotta love these shoes!)
Lets face it, when I think of Bespoke, British and Savile Row the next thing that pops into my mind is not SpongeBob but sure enough this Richard fella has the good sense to know a great character and actually teamed up with SquarePants to create a limited capsule collection. This jacket is made-to-order. I’m going online now!

My favorite Hollywood couple is on the front cover of one of my favorite design magazines. Is it Christmas already? It has finally happened that lesbians have transcended the design box. You know the one where we are style-less, flannel wearing, Doc Marten stomping retro throw backs with houses designed in classic college inspired furniture. To put it bluntly – the hymen has been broken!
Ellen has put her money where her house is. She loves to buy houses and make them special places for her and her family. This is a woman after my own heart as I do love to decorate and make my home a warm, inviting place for my family and friends. And I know for sure one place is not enough to capture all of my visions and can’t wait to follow Ellen’s lead. The one that is featured in this article is the seventh that Portia and Ellen have owned together and if you can believe it they are actually thinking of putting it on the market and moving on to their next adventure.
Though Ellen loves to change her environments to the point that the living room alone has seen 16 different lives (according to Portia), they loved the house so much at first sight that they bought it fully furnished and then added furniture, art and objects to pull it all together to become a place that reflects them both beautifully.
