DANDY [ Also see Beaus Coxcomb Dress Fashion Fastidiousness Foppery Fops Ornament ] Dandies, when first-rate, are generally very agreeable men.       - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well; so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress.       - Thomas Carlyle Dandyism is refined vulgarity.       - Charles Frederic Goss Dandyism is a species of genius.       - William Hazlitt (1) All finery is a sign of littleness.       - Johann Kaspar Lavater (John Caspar Lavater) A fool may have his coat embroidered with gold, but it is a fool's coat still.       - Antoine de Rivarol, Comte de Rivarol Oh! save me, ye powers, from these pinks of the nation,   These tea-table heroes! these lords of creation.       - Salmagundi Clothes form the intellect of the dandy.       - Henry Wheeler Shaw (used pseudonyms Josh Billings and Uncle Esek) The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
