Janelle Monae. This was panned, as befits a dandy. I think she looks devastatingly sleek, as always.

Dita Von Teese, taking after Marlene, from her twitter account. An older photo, she has said. She is so feminine, and with such a distinct look— one could have hardly expected; but, I’m delighted, as it’s a look that fits her as well as a look that is entirely dandyish. The jacket, shirt and cigarette are uncompromisingly masculine, and her stance is also quite male (which happens to highlight her femininity, creating a sexy loop of genderqueer). Gorgeous.

Daring fashion sense even back in 1984!
She looks beautiful. The white tux suits her — I haven’t met many for whom that’s true. The ladies tux trend of the 80s rarely disappoints.

Ethel Waters - all about the jazz
Oh, my god, that perfect boutineer. The cane, the gloves, the matching hat. Naturally, the brilliant smile. She is pure, lackadaisical class.

I think Tilda Swinton will be my fashion/style icon in all honesty. She’s perfect and she has the perfect balance of feminity and masculinity. The photo shoots she’s done that are Bowie-esque are just stunning. STUNNING. I’m just gonna copy her. I have no shame.
Her stance is very rakish — extraordinarily Bowiesque. I like the combination of a straightlaced suit and the platforms.

Clara Corbett playing Puck, of Shakespeare fame.
She’s female, dressed in top hat, all-in-one white waistcoat and bow tie, dancer’s high-waisted trousers and tattooed ‘nude’ suit. Imagine the Emcee in Cabaret crossed with Marlene Dietrich and Jane Horrocks and you have Clare Corbett’s sprightly sprite…
I have a special weakness for female Pucks, and I love the flamboyant costuming on this one. This is everything I long to be.
