No, I think that's fabulous, it's what the thrill of androgyny is all about. Perhaps it's why Arthur takes a while to realize he's gay as well. Something about glam and Brian Slade is pulling him in but he's still confused - he certainly can't defend himself at the record shop. There are girls with the guy in the red jacket, (he's actually referred to as Glitter Boy in the script) but it's clear that Arthur is looking for a reaction from ~him~.
