Was Prince Felix a closeted gay man?
Grand_Duke_Alexei:
Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me. I heard that Felix Yussopov was a cross-dresser, and I am not sure if I should take this rumour seriously. Can someone help me?
Belochka:
Hi Grand_Duke_Alexei,
Felix cautiously alludes to this in his memoir Lost Splendor. ::)
ashanti01:
In Greg Kings book about Felix, "The Man Who Killed Rasputin" he does write that Felix took a liking to dressing in womans clothings and applied make up.
In his laters years he would apply so much make up that when he smiled it would crack and fall into his plate. :o ILL....
Annie:
He actually gives some detailed accounts of his cross dressing escapades in Lost Splendor. He was a young teenager and passed for a girl cabaret singer! He didn't mention if he kept it up after he outgrew his mother's clothes;) but he did always wear makeup, especially mascara, even into old age.
Forum Admin:
There is a true amusing story about Felix dressing in his mother's gown and wearing her famous Pelegrina pearl necklace to the best restaurant in Petersburg, and he was "acting the part" and twirling the necklace when the string broke and the pearls went all over the place...All the waiters on their hands and knees chasing after the pearls rolling all over the floor...
