	Beau Brummell
		The season of 1814 saw Brummell a winner, and a loser likewise--and this time he lost not only his winnings, but `an unfortunate ten thousand pounds,' which, when relating the circumstance to a friend many years afterwards, he said was all that remained at his banker's.
		The Beau took it, and for a few days discontinued coming to the club; but about a fortnight after Mills, happening to go in, saw him hard at work.
		It is said that some unpleasant circumstances, connected with the division of one of these loans, occasioned the Beau's expatriation, and that a personal altercation took place between Brummell and a certain Mr M--, when that gentleman accused him of taking the lion's share.

	Beau Brummell (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Beau Brummell, Ron Hutchinson’s contribution to the Brits Off Broadway series at 59E59, focuses on the eponymous hero’s obsession with style, showing that his character’s politics, values, and day-to-day priorities are subservient or in service of that single word.
		Austin, played by Ryan Early, is everything that Beau Brummell detests: he disdains his position, has no respect for his employer, values money and endlessly schemes for it, has no sense of humor, believes in revolution, and—worst of all—does not understand style.
		Beau Brummell defines what this means, shedding some light on the convictions of this historic figure and the lengths to which he was willing to go to maintain his style.

	Observer review: Beau Brummell by Ian Kelly \| Review \| The Observer
		George Brummell is a curiously modern figure; the first English celebrity famous for being famous, though Kelly never loses track of the extent to which he was also a man in and of a particular moment.
		He was tall, with an excellent figure, and the pale trousers he popularised, often made of stockinette or even chamois leather, were close-fitting, worn without underpants and framed by a dark cutaway coat to display the wearer's thighs and groin with the candour of a ballet dancer's tights.
		Brummell ruined himself (and others) but probably, if he could have foreseen the end, he would have gone on regardless.

		Thomas would sometimes return to Smith Island on furlough, in full uniform, which was very impressive to the home-folks, to say the least.
		But his family was proud to know that Smiths Island's Beau Brummell was a good seaman, a good American, and that he served his country commendably, and died while still in the service of his country.

	Books & Literature \| Book Reviews \| 'Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Man of Style' by Ian Kelly
		Blessed with a considerable inheritance (for a valet, his father was well connected), Brummell set himself up near Hyde Park, in the "epicenter of the Whig aristocracy," and became famous, as we say now, for being famous.
		Devoting himself to the art of personal adornment and hygiene in an age when bathing was an irregular custom as best, Brummell perfected a new style of fastidious male costume—fitted pants, trim waistcoat, collar and tie—that eventually morphed into the ubiquitous tailored man's suit and tie of the 20th century.
		As Ian Kelly (who has imitated Brummell onstage) puts it, Brummell "taught modern men how to dress." Indeed, tailors gave him clothes to wear as a form of advertising, so potent was his influence.

		Beau Brummell was a singular character who had great consequence in the highest circles of the British society in the Regency period without having a noble birth or high connections to recommend him.
		Brummell had received his education at Eton, which was certainly a help; it was also most providential that he came (as a younger son, too) into a part of his father's money as a young adult when he was just finding out what he wanted to do.
		Brummell, as far as I can tell, didn't do a days work in his life, gambled his inheritence, borrowed from friends and fled to France when his debts caught him up.
