Pink heels, feminine style, and walking around the house naked: what Ivan Dorn talked about on Dudya’s show

Ivan Dorn gave Interview To Yuri Dud — one more, previous It was released in 2017. He talked about pink heels, dressing up in girls’ clothes as a child, and why it’s okay to walk around naked in front of children. In a new interview with Dudya, Ivan Dorn once again found himself in a place where the line between “eccentricity” and sincerity becomes very thin.

"Pink Heels" and the Feminine Image

In an interview, Dorn recalled his performance at Konstantin Meladze’s anniversary celebration in 2012. At the time, he sang a song by the band “Viagra” (“Attempt No. 5”)—wearing pink heels and without changing the feminine gender in the lyrics. According to the musician, changing the pronouns “would have broken the rhythm,” so he “got into character” as a woman:

"I just decided to act the part so that the lines would sound natural.".

Dorn added that, since childhood, he had often dressed in women's clothing—“it was fun and natural.”

“There’s a sense of freedom without underwear.” Ivan Dorn on walking around naked at home and “liberal boundaries”

In an interview with Yuri Dud, Ivan Dorn talked about how he feels freer at home—literally. The musician admitted that he used to walk around naked without a second thought, even with his children around

Yuri Dud: You once said that when your kids are around—even your daughter, who was five at the time—you walk around the house naked.

Ivan Dorn: Yeah, I was expecting you to ask that. I’d actually be surprised if you hadn’t. Well, I was totally blown away when I heard that (laughs). Actually, things are changing a bit now—my wife is getting stricter about it. She says, “Listen, the kids are older now, so at least wear underwear.” And I’m like, “Okay, fine, all right.”

My son and I are already starting to walk around in our underwear. We’re kind of struggling with it—the two of us often walk out naked and say, “Good morning!” (laughs). Well, I mean, the number of times I appear naked in front of the kids is decreasing now. But I don’t think it’s as bad as many people think.

I have a daughter—she’s ten now, and she’s growing up. My wife says, “All right, buddy, put on some underwear.” I say, “Okay, all right, fine.” But honestly, I just like that feeling—I feel free, you know? Without underwear. It’s a kind of inner state… of freedom.

In response, Dud admitted that this was the first time he had felt he sounded “conservative”: “Listen, I never thought I could be conservative, but on this point—yes. I have a reputation for being super-liberal, but even so—no, I couldn’t go naked in front of the kids.”

Dorn did not make any direct statements about LGBT issues or minority rights, but his comments on physicality, freedom of self-expression, and gender roles indirectly convey the same message—that it’s okay to be yourself, regardless of how it looks to others.
