Thanks to June's Journey for sponsoring this video!
Ok, so this might be the dumbest video I've ever made, but I also kinda enjoyed it? 🤷🏻♀️ We're all hit with Bridgerton fever (no I haven't read 4 of the books in the past month, whatever do you mean?!) and I got to thinking about how the Regency era is always popular for romance novels, how we all still thirst after Colin Firth and/or Matthew Macfayden in Pride and Prejudice, and just...how...*good* the men look during this era. Like...damn.
Hot Damn.
So, in the spirit of having a good time, being incredibly silly, and looking for any excuse to wear the dumbest cap of all time. I thought we'd have a little look at a small selection of portraits and just have a good time. This is all in good fun and not meant to be taken seriously in any way.
...though I think Hamilton on Ice would be amazing...

I also want to formally apologize to anyone and everyone who is or will be offended by my shitty accent. 🤣
You go girl! I only have two accents southern and pissed off mom.
Don't apologize. I feel like I'm at a ladies pajama party. Fun. "They grow 'em good in Massachusetts" LOL
Please don't call potential gentleman callers "daddies", that's not how Regency ladies spoke, that's how 1970's prostitutes referred to their pimp. Cheers.
Dear Lady Thirstydown, it was a true delight indeed to collaborate with you. Sincerely yours, the June's Journey team.
I’ve heard way worse accents, in all honesty.
imagine having your portrait made in the 1810s and two hundred years later a lady makes a video thristing for you... that's the actual dream what a couple of lucky guys
They can rest easy now and stop haunting lighthouses and stuff. (omg this just gave me the silliest idea for a short film brb gotta go tell Karolina)🤣
I simp
@@AbbyCox Oh my lord, please try to cajole Karolina into making a short trip pertaining to this topic. It would be a delight. 😂🤭
@@AbbyCox Me, praying: "Dear God, I've never asked you for much, but please make this happen. Amen."
1810s version of a thirst trap IG photo 😂😂 and it’s still working 200 years later...
“This portrait was not about his face” and I’m dead.
I feel like we're high-schoolers talking about hot men we see in portraits in art class. As a Visual Arts student, that's what I like to do in art history class lol
In my Early Netherlandish Art class in undergrad, we were doing an essay exam and in the side column I made a note about how one guy looked like Garth Brooks in Medieval clothing...my professor brought it up in class the following week about how someone semi-ruined his favorite portraits now because of comparing it to Garth Brooks and I was in the back of the class going #sorrynotsorry 😎😂
@@AbbyCox WILD LMAO 😂😂😂
@@AbbyCox YES!! MY GIRL!! 👍👊🥂
Reminds me of being in music history and seeing a picture of Schubert when he was 16.
@@rejoyce318 I just looked up that portrait and I’m SHOOK
So I worked in a house museum that had a portrait of a young gentleman from 1819. I used to call him my Regency Boyfriend. Because he was FINE. And always distracted me while giving tours. It didn’t help that he was in one of the first rooms on the main floor, so I had a lot of tour to get through after that. 😂
Do you have a link? For research... 😊
I would love to know the museum's name... for research, of course
it was there for a reason indeed
We all now need to learn men's regency tailoring to dress all the daddys and zaddys around us into the ultimate thirst hunks.
Nicole has that covered! 😃
#MakeMansFashionRegencyAgain #MaMFRA
I support this.
What do you think I'm doing? Learning a respectable trade like all the rest of the ton? I've a young woman with a vast fortune to marry, and it won't be happening by wearing hoodies
Not going to lie I'm desperately hoping I end up with a man who lets me dress him all historical, even if only grudgingly so
Thunder Thighs Daddy should have been Thigh Master Daddy.
By the title I was sure you were going to discuss and rank actors. This is so much more amusing! 😆
NAHHHHH we're looking at dead guys instead! Much more harmless that way. LOL
Although no space for hot young Mr Scrooge.
Exactly! This was infinitely more amusing than I could have ever hoped for when I clicked on the video
Yes! Hands up if this video kind of made you want to try getting that special man in your life into Regency era clothes! 🤣
@@kerriemckinstry-jett8625 I asked. He said no.
Ok, but is it weird that of all the arguments out there to watch Bridgerton, THIS VERY VIDEO is the one that sounds the most convincing to me right now?
LOLOLOLOLOL
You gotta watch the new Emma too!! The tension and the costuming and the humor is to die for
@@GymGirl88 plus that nice glimpse of Knightley's derrière!
The Regency was superb for men's fashion. Coming from Nottingham, for me the ULTIMATE Regency thirst trap would be Lord Byron himself.
Seconded!
100% agreed.
#MakeMansFashionRegencyAgain #MaMFRA
I like that he looks like he could be a great cuddler in addition to being a manipulative megalomaniac. Exactly my type.
@@apricotcotlet197 Oh my goodness, you didn't lie
Oh, YES, YES!
I need more thirsting over von BigDickinson daddies from all the centuries, pls! Like - it must be a series, come on!
Oh yes, I vote for making this a series, too
YES! We (read: thirsty, bored me) need this!!! PHU-LEASE Abby!! 🙏
Yes please! This would be an amazing series!
I'd be down for that! Hot guys with commentary by Abby? Perfect!
I agree! Thru the ages!
What was IN that TEA, Abby?? Was it pure tea? If the cap wasn’t tied, it would be better but we know that wasn’t how they wore it. I don’t know why they thought it was cute either. They were all on drugs.
I seriously considered making that tea a hot toddy, but I realized that between the massive flush that I would get and not having an audience to bounce my awful humor off of, it would probably result in me rambling and snorting to myself instead of actually talking to the camera. lololol one day I'll do a drunken dress history 😂🤣
@@AbbyCox That was my question too and I'm now thouroughly disapointed because I wanted some of that. Oh, well...
Maybe all the laudanum that people in that era consumed made them want to wear something approximating a night cap all the time, because they were eternally sleepy.
@@pamelatarajcak5634 some night caps were actually cute though so they must've wanted to embarrass themselves too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🍹🍹🍹🍹
My prediction is that muttonchops will make a comeback right on schedule around the end of the 2020s/beginning of the 2030s.
I believe it. I'm here for it.
especially after quarantine, i’m growing myself something lmao
My cousin is already giving it something of a go. And he's rocking a moustache too! Can we hope?
oh hell nah
Never thought I would hear the phrase "delicious Regency daddies" uttered aloud but I'm 100% here for it.
Abby you missed out a key demographic who would be interested in this video: transmascs who get extreme gender envy from regency dandies. The flamboyance! The flair! The absolute put-togetherness of it all! What I wouldn’t give to transition and look like that
Hey look it's me!
i feel so called out here... shut up
Girl don't forget two things: 1. Mr. Collins
2. Portraits were their version of photoshop xD
I once read old letters from Queen Luise von Preußen in a biography about how high grade the embellishments were, and how terribly dissapointed she became when she entered the royal family as a young bride and got to meet the originals (instead of the depictions in the circulating pomp portraits the royals sent as gifts to each other)
Men’s Regency fashion is just so damn good! Your comments on your cap are precisely why I’m not a huge fan of women’s fashion in the same era...they all look like doll babies, but not in a good way. Okay, I’m exaggerating some.
I was dying laughing through the whole video! I can’t possibly put into words how deeply needed and appreciated that laughter was. Your videos never fail to make my day brighter! Wishing you and yours a wonderful, joyous week!
The sticky out frills made me think Jellyfish. 🤔
I just finished a craptastic week. This video was the tonic of silliness I needed.
"I look like Lucifer from Cinderella" wheeze I died
Same! 😂
Seeing you thirst over men that I find in no way attractive was so damn entertaining. Like, I don't get it, but you sure do sell them so well! (and in case it is confusing, this is a compliment, if maybe a weird one) please stay who you are, we like you for it!
I agree, most of them I was like 'meh' but this was definitely a fun watch.
Yeah.. this vid def reminded me of how ace I really am. 🤷🏻♀️
To be honest, I didn't find her examples to be that good (Apart from Captain Robinson) but there were some REALLY beautiful men in the Regency period.
@@amyp9369 saaaame
Love a regency gentleman. I have a bit of a crush on @pinsent_tailoring for this very reason.
Trying to talk my husband into a regency jacket and some tight breeches. His cyclist legs are so gorgeous. I'll get there.
Ah yes, Zach is too pretty for this world.
@@mirjanbouma god, yes... 😍
i bet all serious taylors of this world, of all eras, watch their waistline like a blood dog. They just know how well a slender figure displays well tailored clothes. They're the best walking ad for their business there can be:)))
An excuse to wear the ugliest thing I own while looking at hot men....sign me up!
I just LOVE how you can go from super informative, serious historical videos (which are awesome references for rookie historical seamstress me btw, thank you for those!) to.... well... This.... i honestly have no idea what to call it... classy historical Tinder profile discussion? whatever the case, it is awesome! thank you!
Spandex was not around, so those “painted on trousers” were painted that way on purpose. What’s the purpose? Softporn?
Yes.
Oh... that's just horrific lol
The painter sucked at painting cloth drape
They were made of soft leather and tight enough to show off every bit of the wearers... manliness.
@@lucie4185 yes, leather can do that as Jim Morrison showed us all
When you tucked your hair, I thought of Belle from Muppet Christmas Carol
I'll happily take that compliment! Thank you! 😁
When she tucked her hair up I thought, o my, she's going puritan. Ha!
Lady Talldrinka Thurstington reporting for ridiculous Valentine's tea time :) Thank you for this. As a singleton, this is absolutely what I needed today.
This video gave me an existential crisis and caused me to question my already tenuous attraction to men. Highly entertaining, 11/10.
This is hilarious - especially when she puts on the tortoiseshell glasses to get a better look at his, er, tailoring. This was what she was looking at right? Just a purely professional moment.
Editing Abby in the background XD, that was a good one!!
I'm just over here waiting of men to find their actual waist line again :(
One day, one day that prayer will be answered. (ó﹏ò｡)
Right? And where are all the butts? I just want them to wear clothes that fit!
@@therealpoppinfresh Men's pants are criminally loose.
@@adorabell4253 I've only noticed that with those city blokes....while our country blokes seem to know the value of a well-fitted pair of strides...
@@grandy2875 Not tight enough. Can you admire the curve of their calf? Or the muscles of their thigh? Or even better, the outline of a certain something.
You always seem to know when I need a funny video to watch!
Life is interesting at the moment (which is a nice way of saying that I'm gripping onto my sanity by a frayed thread!) but watching you makes me laugh and inspires me to challenge myself to do things I've always wanted to do but never thought I could do! So thanks for that!
❤❤❤❤❤ take care of yourself!
I love the chaotic and silly energy of this video. I totally understand the attraction to people in regency menswear. I think if you’re attracted to men /people in suits then I think you’ll like Regency’s menswear because its so well put together.
I cackled out loud. Several times.
And no, you’re not alone in watching Bridgerton twice. 🙋🏻♀️
I had to stifle my laughter many, many times because I really didn't want to have to explain the reason to my 83-year-old mom in the next room what had tipped me over the edge. I may have pulled a muscle.
Hamilton on ice daddy looks like Joseph Ducreux in skates 🤣
That's who I thought it was at first 🤣
Check out Jason Brown figure skating to "The Room Where It Happens"
Being in costume for this discussion is just perfect.
The hulihee or friendly muttonchop. And no, that style can remain in the dustbin of bad decisions. However, hats...women need to start rocking hats again. And if you can bring back hats, I’ll work on the friendly muttonchop.
totally screamed and scared my dog when you made the Cinderella reference!!!! (my favorite disney movie of all time - because the rodents and birds make a dress)
Captain Robinson of Massachussetts (did I spell that right?) looks like the chibi version of himself
Also I may have had that portrait of Russian Silver Fox Daddy on my computer for a long time, for reasons
I'm reminded of the "finding a suitable husband" part of princess diaries 2: "I just love to look at him" *sigh*
I died at Hamilton on Ice daddy oh my god, you so RIGHT
That guy looks as if he wants to say 'well, I came along for the ice skating, but I'm not enjoying it, even if it kills me.'
I personally recommend The Scarlet Pimpernel with Anthony Andrews (and Jane Seymour) if you'd enjoy being kept awake by a man's (tighter than) skin tight trousers. omg.
JoAnn Shupe yes, Anthony Andrews was.....mmm
Love this! I just received portraits of my Great Great Great Great (great?) Grandfather from this era and I can see why my Great Great Great Great (great?) Grandmother picked him. And a little of where my grandmother got her looks from (its her mom's paternal line). Weird to see your own eyes in an almost 200 year old portrait but really cool at the same time.
I need that tea! And lookig at pictures of men in regency outfits sounds perfect.
Abby, you mentioned some great examples, but what about Theo James in Sanditon? I hope there is a Season 2, we need more Sidney Parker seabathing or rowing or something else.
No season 2, the show is canceled. Sorry :(
Oh Yummy! I always refer to him as Mr. Brooding Eyebrows. 🤤
I think they’re actually in the process of filming Season 2 right now but unfortunately no Theo James..
me, a lesbian: yesss abby roast the dudes
I think Abby needs to rank a female version.
@@bekytg9393 100% where’s the petition?
Lovely having tea with you, Lady Thirstydown. Might we meet again to discuss Victorian era Daddies/Zaddies?
How the heck did they cut pants that tight?? And still walk?? I need a tutorial
my brain immediately jumped to someone doing a tutorial on walking in tight pants but they just started waddling like a penguin... 🤣
Knit fabric. As long as you don't sit down or wear it to long it will cling like that. After a few hours it will sag and get baggy knees and butt.
They’re called inexpressibles and they were usually made from fawn leather. As to the walking part. Couldn’t tell you.
@@LaDivinaLover we need to ask Zach Pinsent if he has made some.
* was wondering the same and suddenly remembered skinny jeans circa 2004 *
Lady thirstydown LMAO
This was super fun 😂 I'm glad I wasn't the only one going around in museums looking at paintings and going "hmmm that guy was hot"
Girl, what was in that tea? That was hilarious!
The aggressiveness of the compliments for bone-structure daddy 😼
Personally I think you look adorable in the cap so long as you don’t pull a face. ::taps hand with fan:: But I dare say we all know that shan’t cease happening any time soon.
I absolutely got the giggles off Hamilton daddy. Was not prepared🤣 Futhermore soap opera daddy is HAWT!....I almost choked over Crachett children. And don't get me started on Bone structure daddy.😳😍 Abby out here doing the good work. Boy howdy this was delightfully funny.
Where is Mr. Pinsent on this list?! 🤩 lol
This needs yo become a series with more eras portraits! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I tought i was the only one with a cute-hot historial portraits thing
10:38 *whispers* he be just a smidge knucklin' it..
Rigghhhtttt???? I didn't see the calfs and knees .
I. SAW. THAT.
This reminds me of that SNL sketch with Matt Damon and they are having a “daddy” show like a fancy dog show and it is tickling my giggledick hard.
Talking about a Daddy with a capital D. I High School, my choir took a trip to Nashville, TN. Our Tour guide at the museum we visited had a Capital D in his very tight jeans. Yeah I can not remember what Museum we visited but I remember Capital
🤣🤣
This was a lot of fun. I may re-watch Bridgerton for the 3rd time. Stay thirsty my ladies!
The Wretched 2020s is now my favorite phrase. Thank you kindly Lady Thirstydown.
Abby feels about these portraits like I feel about Alexander Hamilton on the ten dollar bill 😂😂😂😂
This is the high-quality historical content I come to UA-cam for. Everything about this video is exquisite. :D
It looks a bit like a jelly fish attached itself to you head 😂🤣
😂😂😂
I’m only a minute and a half into this, and it’s already one of the best videos on the internet. Thank you! 😆
Regency Babbish - something we didn’t know we needed until now.
14:35 Jean-Baptiste.. dresses to the right👀👀
Thank you for this 🙏 I’m in bed making some antibodies from my second Covid shot and this is exactly what I needed. I’m team Soap Opera and Russian Silver Fox
I wasn't having a great time but I am absolutely cracking up at the intro oh my god, thank you for this haha
(Also I'll forever appreciate that you always have closed captions on your video's!!)
The light Pratt shade is what I needed on this fine day
I know I'm absolutely alone in this but I genuinely love the bonnet 😅
This is Gold, Abby. Cackled aloud simultaneously at your zoom choices and your jokes. Watched it again with the spouse, who also enjoyed some giggles.
I am 44 seconds in and LOOSING MY MIND! Love the intro!!!!
Having finished it: This is hilarious, thank you so much for doing it! I appreciate that you dressed up like a (regency) cupcake.
June would approve! The way she smiles when she tucks her hair behind her ear... she is a bad bad girl.
Also... I'm dead again.
I love how chuffed you legit are! Such a delight! And so freaking wholesome for such a "thirsty" video. Lol
Oh my god I love this. Also, I don’t know if it was intentional, but you initially reminded me of Mrs. Bennett from Pride & Prejudice.
That cut from the muppets Christmas Carol for *all kids yell* "Daddy!!!!!!" *jumps kermit* got me 😂😂😂 Also gotta commend you on the cap, but the cat is exactly what I thought of 😬😆
Soap opera zaddy has hugh Jackson about him 😍
That's who he reminded me of! Yes, Hugh Jackman is noice.
You sound exactly like June Anderson (the opera singer) in the beginning of the video. It’s actually quite cute! You’re definitely a natural soprano. 😝
"It's hard to be an unattractive as a male in the Regency Period."
I will take that bet.
Also, Hamilton on Ice Daddy would be brilliantly portrayed by Victor Garber!
I'm a lesbian but I did watch this video all the way through, so idk what that says about me
You have excellent taste in videos and a fantastic sense of humor 😍
9:46 when you said they grow them good in massachusettes I remembered that Chris Evans is from MA so I was like...AGREED. So making him a CHRIS (tm) is perfect.
Omg silver fox daddy. I volunteer for tribute.
The brows, the tiny smirk, it's doing something ( ´･֊･` )
This is the quality content I subscribed for hahahaha please make this a series 😂
This video humour was chef's kiss🙌🙌🙌
A VID DIDNT THINK ID NEED BUT OMG YES
Thankyou, that was both brilliant and the best giggle I've had for a long while! ... also I may have been chanting "Pet the Pupper" during the bloopers...
I didn’t know I needed this video but thank you Abby 😂
Another name for General Dumas, since he was a general: General Daddy
Just an idea. Pitching it out there
I'm crying ffs, this is amazing and the editing is just GOLD.
Oooh, the Russian Daddy! Love the silver hair on the young face! 🤍🤍🤍 And Abby, what's the name of that "tea", I think I need some! 🤩🤩🤩
The brows and that knowing smirk, he better stop
This is A+ content and I would not be mad if you made more of it 😂 One of my favorite tumblrs of all time, still existent but no longer active sadly, is aptly named My Daguerreotype Boyfriend and served a similar purpose
I love that you can make yourself, editing Abby, laugh so hard!
i’m a lesbian but i love regency men’s fashion and i thoroughly enjoyed this video lmao
We should petition for more butches in regency men's wear!
The little innocence cap, sipping tea like you have added a good slug of good bourbon, having to wipe that occasional bit of drool off the corner of your mouth, you had me rolling…!
Girl, what’s in your tea! This was so fun! Thanks!
I so needed this level of ridiculousness today!! 😂❤️
This is so funny! I legit lol’d at least three times. Editing *chef’s kiss*
I don’t really know why I watched this whole video... but I did, and I laughed, and I have two comments.
1. That disclaimer at the beginning made me burst out laughing, not just laugh out loud.
2. The gorgeous dog at the end made me a little sad because my dog wasn’t with me but will hopefully be home soon.
I am screaaaaaaaming!!!! the mutton chops guys are my type but that guy with the pants...big D energy there in every sense P.s. I love your little hat its very cute
Starts playing Abby's video.......Abby's voice comes over and I IMMEDIATELY know that shenanigans are AFOOT and they are divinely HILARIOUS!!!! BRAVA!!!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! This is FANTASTIC!
Oh Abby if you just knew how amazingly happy seeing a video of yours appear on my screen makes me!
Please Lady Cox be my Valentine!
"REGENCY ZADDYS"
I FKN LOST IT! 🤣🤣🤣
OK, got it together. This entire video is crack, but I 👏am 👏here 👏for 👏it! 😂😂 I legit had tears welling up in my eyes from laughing so much. The inner artist in me shook her head at the incorrect perspective on that one daddy's portrait. 🤦 I've been wanting to draw the Duke of Hastings, but I haven't found the right time yet. 🤔 He is GORGEOUS! 😍
That was hilarious. I love your sense of humor. Great pics too, by the way. I’m never going to look at male pics from that era the same ever again. LOL. 🌸🌺
