(To those who constantly post politics or who are serious activists. I don't mind your following me or commenting on my posts, but I cannot follow you. Barring a few very specific issues, I try to keep my life, and my timeline, as free from politics and drama as possible. I don't follow world affairs in most cases either. I will also not follow you if you hardly post in English, because I won't be able to understand most of your posts.)
Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre, mostly English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am a huge Ivor Novello fan. I prefer antique menswear and accessories (no feminine clothing). It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter. I am happily childfree, and speak my mind. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me. You can also find me on Dreamwidth

One glass of wine, and i'm belting out Ivor Novello songs with the original artists! Thank goodness, I had the common sense to switch from Mary Ellis and Vanessa Lee to Olive Gilbert and Trefor Jones, whose ranges I can sing without ruining my voice! I don't even want to be a supprano! Why on Earth didn't I just transpose them as always? And now, I shall return to my own personal Eisteddfod, as I listen to the tripple harp, while reading The Mabinogion (, in English, of course_). I blame this squarely on Ivor Novello and his mother! They sent me down this delightful rabbit whole of Welsh exploration. I was perfectly happy being bored and quiet. Now, I've got all sorts of theatre people to research and an entirely new genre of music and instrument to learn about! And hello to anyone Welsh reading this. Thank you for your beautiful music and lovly stories! I'm enjoying them emensley.

Update. Haha. That didn't work. After a few songs, I went back to Novello. Ah well. I'm still smiling.

There is a song that reminds me of Clara Novello Davies, and every time I hear it, I think of her. It embodies all that she stood for, not just becasue of the singing, but because of her philosophy on life. It's I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. But tonight, I was very naughty, and created my own lyrics to it. "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, but I won't try, and here is why, because I sing off key!" haha

What a strange instrument the tripple harp is. It's huge, and its sound is entirely different than the harps I'm accustomed to hearing. Sadly, I haven't heard many, but I have heard a few, and this is like none of them. It must take years to learn how to play it.
