It is clear to me (in my impudent wisdom) that colonial capital Melbourne (living in spiritual defiance of those Canberran lackwits) rankles for want of a formal society of swells, dandies, fops, dappers, flappers, Emancipated Women, rakes, Gibson Girls, popinjays and people who like lists. And neckties. It is my solemn and patriotic duty then to initiate the formation of such a body, that it may be chartered and begin meeting someplace that serves crisps.
Submissions must immediately be taken for names and statements of purpose, or else I’ll name it something bloody stupid like “The Woodworm” or “The Hansoms”. You see? Terrible!
I propose that, in the spirit of the times, a pressing order of business (post crisps) be a Saunter for Justice.

Well if its post crips then ‘The Bloods’ is certainly out of the question. Suppose ” The Lady Greys’”?

Or the Earl Greys!

Oo, they have a “Strawberries and Cream” tea that smells just like strawberries and cream.
…they’re clearly witches.
Still, that’s two votes for The Earl Greys. Or even just “The Earl Grey”? Like, that’s the name of the CLUB.

It’s obvious, but The Mad Hatters would probably be apt.

I would also vouch for some sort of brigade.

Whatever you want to call it, I’ll scrub up and show up.
I like the idea of a brigade. Could this possibly be combined with the “earl grey” idea that seems to be fomenting?

Royal Society for Dandification.
Just not enough Royal Societies about these days.
Forsooth…a realted boon has just came to my thoughts…we could have the honour of a “by apointment” coat of arms on the top of
the societal letterhead!!!.

Alternatively.
The Royal Society for Dandification in the imperial Colonies.
This name is very much akin to the name I previously suggested. With some extra bits.
