Not everyone appreciates a skinny Dandy...

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.

Delicious. But what does a dandy do to stay skinny? I can't picture you on the treadmill...

Hmm, well although I still look boyish, I am as old as dirt. Over the years, I have watched as the world grows increasingly fatter. Really, the only motivation I need to stay skinny is to walk out the door, look around, and I say "I don't want to look like that". Plus, my current hometown of Portland, although it has a central civilized zone of thin people, is clogged on the edges with overstuffed subhumans. In fact, Portland has been a leader in supplying aid to the morbidly obese, including the development of ambulances that can carry fatties that weigh up to 1000 pounds:

I do love food, but APPEARANCE IS EVERYTHING. Perhaps when I am truly ready to die, then I will feast. I can use the movie La Grande Bouffe as my guide. In this 1973 film, a group of gastronomical aesthetes meet to spend the weekend in a beautiful chateau, indulging in fine food and drink until they (intentionally) die from over-eating. (They do stop occasionally to fuck some whores.) It's a startling film - sad, horrible, beautiful. It is one of the two great Marcello Mastroianni suicide films - the other is The Divine Nymph (a/k/a Divina Creatura, 1975) - a decadent classic.

No... but I would commit high crimes for that suit.

I have found a rather unappealing photo of Mr.Sparks; I believe he is on the left.

I'm pretty sure the skinny/creepy woman with Jerry Hall is actually Mick Jagger.
