Dapperesque

Dapper & Burlesque combined. Dapper typically of a man who is neat, lively, chic, has swagger, sharp and smart. Burlesque a type of variety show that features a female chorus and solo dances, its provocative and comedic, plus bawdy, striptease acts, slapstick skits and songs.

SO, basically DAPPERESQUE is a

WOMAN who has no shame, she has no filter, she speaks her mind AND heart, she can take care of herself & does so, bc that's what she prefers & does it VERY well, her style is unique & appreciated, she makes a statement at least once a day. Then times she is, well naked & she is SO comfortable in her skin, she's not stick thin, she's not fat, she is thick & slim in all the right places. She has an impressive head on her shoulders, face, eyes, teeth, brain. Her personality is that of "The Stoop Kids" -- not very attractive, but their personalities & characteristic make them the best people you will & would ever meet. She is a human cheetah. She is who EVERY female wants to be.
You know I am starting to obsess over, Drew Barrymore! Her life story, from the beginning to now....she is DEFINETLY the epitome of Dapperesque!!

An extremely personal (and often extremely time consuming) body of work--usually of the creative variety and often extensive/sprawling in its execution--which was intended purely for personal edification, with no apparent intention of the work in-question ever being shared with anyone in any meaningful way.

The choices, language, idioms, imagery and/or motifs employed are often so deeply personal to the original creator that they have little if any coherent meaning to any other viewer, who is/are likely to only gain access to the work itself after the creator has died or gone missing.
My friend has been trying their hand at automatic writing lately. I snuck a peak when they weren't looking, and it was completely dargeresque. not a single sentence made any sense to me, but my friend really seemed to be getting a lot out of it in spite of that.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
