#1 When not clad in the lederhosen of his homeland, he cultivated an air of sophisticated complexity by appearing in women's clothes, set off by lipstick and fishnet stockings.

An air of sophisticated complexity? Only if practicing for a successful escape from a surrounded madrassah clad only in a burqa and high heels.

#2 What's funny is that if he hadn't been from the rich & famous crowd, he would just have been a asocial drunkard/junkie, going from one gloryhole to the other in public lavatories and giving BJ to truckers on highways resting area. That would have been quite sleazy and sordid, but since he was a count and all, well, it's different, you know.
