We're approaching terrible numbers of infections and deaths due to COVID-19, and in order to flatten the curve, wearing a face mask is so important. If a face mask doesn't work for you, then wear a face shield. . . Decided to put my new masks courtesy of @enigma_ent to good use and produce art and transformation. Wear a mask. . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #steampunk #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #gaydc #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #wearamask #wearadamnmask #flattenthecurve #mask4mask (at Arlington, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3_sSJBLBo/?igshid=1mvva5eq41h4z

"In your country gold is like dust" . For Pride and for BLM I am channelling my golden African ancestry, honoring the empires of Egypt, Nubia, Mali and Songhai. I am proud to be black and gay, and also proud of showing our richness by doing so. . Amplify black and brown voices today, especially black and brown queer voices. . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #steampunk #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #gaydc #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #pride🌈 #blacklivesmatter #lewks #pride2020 #blackqueerlivesmatter (at Arlington, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBv4vUshSFg/?igshid=gb20x346lkp7

Key City Steampunk was brief for me, but it was a perfect backdrop to show off my favorite color: blue. I love this outfit and the color, and I enjoyed my time at Key City wearing it, as well as the friends and folk within it! Great job Wheeler Stone and Tobias! . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #steampunk #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #steampunkfashion #steampunkdandy #fan #bluefashion #keycitysteampunkfestival (at Clarion Inn Frederick Event Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1W1z1Thlxr/?igshid=154uyk8sjx2kg

After attending the Georgetown Fashion Show, I decided to show up at my favorite haunt and give them a mini fashion show of my own. This is a flamboyant take on modern dandyism. . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #gaydc #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #picoftheday #modernmenstreetstyle #sprezzatura @tradebardc #blackandwhitefashion (at TRADE) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0O6hjVBF6K/?igshid=14erp7z0qe9dj

Black and silver by day; black and silver by night.. this is how you wear the same color scheme for two different outfits on the same day and make them unique.. . .And does not Tim look utterly dashing in blue by day and green by night? Hot hot hot.. . . Saturday at #Teslacon and my last official outfits for the event.

Friday afternoon at TeslaCon.. in a sea of red, be orange.. I loved this outfit so much; it's brand new! . . I felt very safe and respected, which I had time onto which to reflect this when @dragraceukbbc Season 3 latest episode talked about inappropriate touching or handling of drag performers (also applies to their queer dandy siblings). Teslacon went out of its way to make us all feel safe, respected, and celebrated, but steampunk is good at that.. . . Gurl look how orange I look, gurl! . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #gay #gayfashion #gaystyle #blackfashion #blackstyle #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #ootd #yourdandy #iamdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #steampunkfashion #blueandorange #facemaskfashion #Teslacon #queerfashion #queerstyle #orange #respectfashion (at Teslacon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWTz7Z2L09g/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is from DragCon NYC last year, my first time.. this weekend I am back with all new dandy outfits, ready to meet my queens, ready to show them how they influence their artistic sibling in LGBTQ history.. . . I absolutely love meeting my #tradebardc family, my friends, and so many interesting people, and I love this outfit, and I hope that you like it too.. see you this weekend! . . . . . #dandy #dandyism #steampunk #fashion #style #dapper #fancy #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #sartorial #gay #gaylife #gaystagram #ootd #blacklgbtq #blackexcellence #yourdandy #gaydandy #blackdandy #iamdandy #dandystyle #gaystyle #blackstyle #rupaulsdragcon #DragConNYC #dragcon #BlackAndWhite (at Rupauls Drag Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoH1ffWgzFq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d3k93n9wfbn1
