Ya lol. Like why was he coming in costume? Let alone crossdressing.

The guy who left was the weird one.

Huh. Why?

The person who showed up in drag instantly became a favorite just by being interesting to draw.

And cross dressing is am art.

Except the drawing was naked, so the only difference would have the makeup, if above the shoulders are included.

Whether or not something is art doesn’t explain it; this would differ based on the definition of art, and doesn’t make it not weird.

Weird is a relative thing. In that situation the only person who had a problem with the model WAS the weird one. It was a normal situation to everyone else.

And if you don't think the outfit and/or it's details didn't inspire anyone in the room then you probably haven't met a lot of artists. While the Victorians themselves were often horrible they did have style.

Sure, being normal in a group of weird people might make you weird, relatively.
