Impoverished aristocracy, Dandies and flaneurs. Pomo homos. The pompadourable. Women sewn into silk dresses who stay away from buffet tables and get the hiccups.

Ray LaMontagne, Etta James, Sidney Bechet, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Cut Chemist, Mos Def, Duke Ellington
Philadelphia Story, The Dreamers, Last of the Mohicans, Gone with the Wind, Sunset Boulevard.
Project Runway and Grey's Anatomy
