In a preview clip for the upcoming hour-long episode, Robert is seen dusting himself in baby powder as he prepares to don his Sherry costume.
'That's why I do this,’ Robert breathes as he pouts at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, ‘because I think I look amazing.'
He continues: ‘I just can't believe that's a 70-year-old man in the mirror and that's why I do this. If I saw a 70-year-old man in the mirror I would quit this tomorrow.'
Asked what he sees when he looks at his dolled-up reflection, Robert replies: 'An exciting looking female. If I saw a woman like this and she asked me to go hang out, I'd say yeah.'

Quote:

'I wish to hell I knew,' he told the website. 'I don’t know what it is, why I started doing it, why I continue doing it, or why it’s become such a compulsion.'
Robert is just one of the stars who offer a glimpse into their strange and unique lifestyles in the upcoming series of the hit TLC show.
