A phenomenally busy week, so I’m short on time. I’ll be back at the weekend, but in the meantime have a guess who this elegantly dressed fellow is. His whiskers should give you a clue…

And as it’s Wednesday, who better than the elegantly dressed Max Raabe singing Klonen Kann Sich Lohnen (”Cloning Could Be Worth It”).

I discovered Raabe last week, thanks to August sending me a link to this fine performance by the Bratislava Hot Serenaders. A couple more hours of browsing and I’d uncovered the witty, dry - almost serpentine - Raabe, and laughed my face off to his 30s-style covers of Britney Spears’s Oops I did it Again, and Tom Jones’s Sex Bomb.

So, August: thanks. This week’s EDW is for you.

Not to mention Klaus Tennstedt, the crazy-haired conductor of genius.

Last week’s EDW was Osbert Lancaster. I’ll tell you more about him when I’m less busy and not quite so ill.

(UPDATE. Bill writes: You might have acknowledged that I’d recognised Osbert Lancaster, you fecker. Happy to oblige, Bill, and I hope everyone will now head over to your blog and pat your head.)

The most beautifully dressed periodical of the 19th century.

I know little enough about Venezuelan star Raquel Castaño, but I know even less about the elegantly dressed chap on her left. But who cares: he’s this week’s nomination for EDW. Feel free to invent amusing captions.

There are some more, rather excellent photos of Raquel here.

Today’s EDW is brief and to the point: and it’s dedicated to one of the most consistently elegant men to adorn our screens, Peter O’Toole. Here he is delivering some lines that are clearly beneath him.
