Style with a gothic edge.
Hello ladies and gents!
My Etsy store is now open!
If you see an item that you want to purchase that is on my facebook page The Dandy Prince but is not listed, please message me and I will list it so you can purchase it!
The reason I’m making an Etsy is because I am being kicked out of my home, and have nowhere to go, so please signal boost, I need all the help I can get. I only have two months left in this house.
My friend, theblacklacedandy, is getting kicked out of their home and needs help. If you see anything you like on their Etsy shop, please help them out by buying something.

I love this set for two reasons, I bought the suit in Rome and these photos were taken all over Rome with statues from the Borghese gardens, the parthenon and just walking around. I had a lot of fun copying the poses and the whole day was amazing. What do you think?

There’s something very magical about the villages in Cinque Terre. Walking between Monterosso and Vernazza, it felt like I was in another world. It was a wonderful experience, made only more special by the fact that I watched the sun come up over the beach in Monterosso. And yes, I hiked 3 miles in a white linen suit. And it was spotless when I was done.

In the 1500’s, Vicino Orsini commissioned the Sacro Bosco Parco dei Mostri, or “Park of the Monsters” as a memorial to his wife. But in addition to a mausoleum and other more traditional memorials, he also included a selection of monsters, orcs with open mouths, dragons fighting lions and more. I was captivated by the park and was so happy to have the opportunity to have a shoot here. The park is just north of Rome, outside the small town of Bormarzo and is definitely worth a visit. I actually did two sets here, this one focusing on the monsters and another one focusing on the memorials.

Most of my trip to Italy was a lot of fun. But the main purpose of the trip was to bury my father. He died a year ago, but he had wanted to go to Italy before he died. It’s where our family is from, but he was confined to a wheelchair and wasn’t able to travel much. So after he died, I came up with the idea of my brothers and I taking him to Italy. Doing in death for him what he couldn’t do in life. I’ve posted before about how complicated and conflicted my relationship with my father was, but I was glad I could do this for him. I hope he can rest now.
Who knew ashes could be so heavy?
