He lives in a mansion in the suburbs of Orange County in California. After ten years of marriage, Robert was recently divorced. He now shares his house with his teenage daughter but his hobby is kept strictly private. For the last six years, Robert has spent every spare moment becoming ‘Sherry’. Having spent years doing this in private, Robert has made a big decision soon he will take Sherry into the big wide world for the first time – when he attends a secret gathering of female maskers in Minneapolis, Rubberdoll Rendezvous. It’s the first time he’ll reveal Sherry to other maskers, and he’s nervous. The organizer of the Rubberdoll Rendezvous is Jon, aka ‘Jennifer’, a forklift operator and father of six. Jon is proud to be a leading figure in the masking scene and, unlike most female maskers, he is happy to include the rest of the world as well.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4604004593.jpg" width="460" height="307" alt="© Channel 4" title="© Channel 4"/></p> <p></p><p>So what did you think?</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>
