Not everyone appreciates a skinny Dandy...

The absolutely fabulous Patrick McDonald:



There is another East Coast man who is similar to Patrick McDonald -- Cator Sparks. No photo of Cator will be found here. Cator and Patrick are both skinny social butterflies who favor hats and sideburns. Both seem to have no visible means of support. Cator has, in the past, called himself a dandy. I think he should start calling himself an ex-dandy. He seems to have given up, and increasingly wears jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. A true dandy is a dandy for life. I can't imagine Patrick McDonald appearing in public in jeans, t-shirt, and tennis shoes. I know that I never would, since I do not own ANY jeans, t-shirts, or tennis shoes.
Salvador Dali:

John Waters:
