Welcome to this latest vvb event!
Be prepared to meet some dandies with offerings of delectable giveaways (not necessarily related to dandies).
Your first encounter of a dandy on my site was during the Pemberley Ball. Sasha's RVB, the infamous Red Velvet Blazer a character from Sasha Soren's Random Magic.
Our indolent and charming friend is as sleekly groomed as a cat, with the same feline grace and hidden claws.
His modus operandi is best summed up with a reference to social gadabout Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s puckish invitation, ‘If you can't say something nice about someone -- come sit here by me.’
Both Sasha and I were so taken with the dandy theme, we decided to expand a bit on it.
Thus, presenting this dandylicious event.
Raise a glass of sherry, pinkies up and enjoy...
