I didn't know it was him. I worked in Clapham High St some time ago and if it's the same guy he volunteered in a charity shop there. He'd be in some days in regular male casual dress and then just turn up in A dress. Could see that he puzzled a lot of the local youth, I heard them use harsh words about him, and considering the proximity of the haves and have nots in the area he was a brave man to even consider it. The buffer zone there is a lot smaller than in ED and he was potentially risking verbal/physical abuse by paddling his own canoe in this particular style. On the other hand he may have been using the logic of the writer Tom whatsisface (Bonfire Of The Vanities) who always struts around even the meanest of streets in a white suit, hat and cane. He reckons that if you look very different then you are safer than if you try to conform. Anyway, I'm glad he's still aropund.
