I enjoyed getting a colonoscopy more than I did standing in the Soho location of one of these places during an ill-advised attempt to buy my wife some intimate apparel back I the day. You're dead right to associate it, even passingly, with shopping for a gun--socially or aesthetically, I'm not sure which--when one of your perfectly-captured femdom/nurse/Miramax agents showed me this or that $500 pair of drawers. It didn't help that the other shopper she was helping was, God bless him, Ethan Hawke.
The Frederick’s of Hollywood reference brought me back to maybe 1990 when I happened across a full catalogue. The designs were fit for analysis by a post doctoral psychologists class studying undeveloped sexuality. The designs were deeply “pubescent young boy shame perversion” fantasy. I felt empathy for the humiliation felt of anyone feeling obliged to wear them. They are a “must-see” and belong in some sort of museum of culture opposite Vargas prints.
I totally agree with you. A buddy of mine recently loaned me what I thought was a First Communion baby bonnet - a white lace caplet -- but which turned out to be an infantile sleeping cap for WIVES. It was such baby drag I was obsessed with it.
I was having such a glum day, carpe diem of wrist or something. But for seven minutes I got to leave the pain-0-sphere and marinate in your luscious language listening to your story. ( I always listen )
I’m going to have to find a way to slow it down by half so I don’t miss a word. Reading along helps but it all goes by too fast. Cheers!!!
Hilarious. Sometimes I'm glad I live in Amarillo-- "What church would you wear THAT to!?" Kidding, of course. We have corners of cheesy little boutiques with stuff that kind of leers in that direction, but is more like a tee shirt with a bad word on it.

Oh LAWD
At least with a colonoscopy they give you really good drugs.
You got that right. In fact, you're making me want to go schedule another right now.
LOL!

I am so grateful for you, Doctor. It makes me feel so good you get a little relief from my weird.
Not weird at all. Insightful. Funny. Word conjuror. Metaphor mistress. Shall I go on???? :)
Thank You Sophie Sutherland and that Lucky Ted.
I’d wrap it up for you, Johnny Dearest, but the only girl I know who wears anything that skimpy is my gun, and she only wears leather.
Hahahahahahahahahaha

My favorite line. The whole essay is as good as or better than Mickey Spillane
