prudish protestant-types do not do things with/give things to family that acknowledge sexy parts.

I think plain or cutesy underwear is one thing (Christmas boxers, "worlds best grandma" sleep shirt, six pack of basic cotton for a stocking-stuffer) but sexy stuff is a big NO.

Hey, Chicago foodies.

Relevant to foodies everywhere. I'm sad for the food community. And also me, who never ate Trotter's food.

Oh, and his excuse for smoking crack was that he was drunk at the time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Somehow, I think we're past the era of "I didn't inhale".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and his excuse for smoking crack was that he was drunk at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

but sexy stuff is a big NO.

Can they buy you a sexy dress or something that's not underwear or sleepwear?

Also, who can buy you sexy stuff?

Yeah, flannel nighties for Christmas is one thing. Sexy things for your honeymoon is another.
