Welcome!

Everyone can be a bit of a dandy.

After all, who doesn't love a good time? Material pleasures? Self-betterment? Watching a great film, or tasting something delicious?

These things are not superficial indulgences. Au contraire! They are the things which make us who we are and shape our experiences. As Baudelaire said, small decisions we make every day are means to the end of "cultivating the idea of beauty in [our] own persons, of satisfying [our] passions, of feeling and thinking."

The internet is full of people telling you what to buy, where to buy it, what to make, and how to make it. This blog, while somewhat meta in its undertaking, will humbly suggest things to enjoy. So be prepared for the ribald and the refined, the chic and the cheeky.

Best,

FHW
