Loy Bowlin "Rhinestone Cowboy" (1909-1995)

Loy Bowlin was known for dressing in sequined and glittered clothing. Inside his house, the walls and furniture were likewise covered in dazzling intricate patterns of paper cutouts, painted squares and rectangles, shining with foil, glitter, and rhinestones.  He often drove his matching Cadillac around his hometown of McComb, Mississippi.
