An elderly California doctor has gained a cult following on social media for dressing in a rubber suit while pretending to be a teen girl.

Robert, a 70-year-old from Newport Beach, revealed his act on TLC's "My Strange Addiction." He is part of fetish group called "maskers."

The masked man goes by "Sherry" while dressed as the belle of the ball, he told the reality show. He has been wearing the rubber suits for more than a decade.

The septuagenarian does not give his real name, but claims to engage in the bizarre ritual "because I think I look amazing."

Video shows the doctor, who lives with his 19-year-old daughter, applying baby powder before donning the skin-tight getup.

“CSI-Las Vegas had a storyline about men who dress in rubber ‘girl’ suits. In Bizarro America, nothing is ever wrong and anything goes.”

Unless you think there is something wrong about men who dress in rubber ‘girl’ suites...

What do you mean by, “You have a plastic personality”?

[Irenic]

What does he drop?! Is it epic?

[Larry Lucido]

Careful, Laz. Not what you may think.

So Buffalo Bill made it out of the basement after all.

I often dress as one to make myself feel better

So he’s got a daughter that’s 51 years younger than him. A fact such as that used to be in the same category of weirdness as the “artistic” rubber suit.

[Olog-hai]

Yes, but without it needing to rub the lotion on its skin.

Never thought there were actually people doing that in real life.

Now that they’re out I expect to see them demand everyone accept their lifestyle.

[CatherineofAragon]

WTH??

[miss marmelstein]

A dreadful mix of William Castle movies and the brilliant French movie “Eyes Without a Face.” Where can I go on my income to escape this???

[Norm Lenhart]

People NOT leaving California knowing what that state is are frighting. I’m on the AZ border. They know. they stay. Thats scary.

The purpose of those shows is to make such behaviour acceptable.
