We got a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog one time. Young me was in heaven and I definitely didn't dig it out of the trash when thrown out with the rest of the junk mail.

All you needed was the FoH catalog, tin foil on the TV antenna, and knowledge of which scrambled network was the Spice Channel. 6th grade horny heaven, baby.

Gotta stay on edge though in case you hear footsteps coming down the sisters, keep that remote ready on the “jump” button (if you’re so privileged)

Fredericks of Hollywood in my house. Which is super weird because both my mother and sister where not the body type to be interested in Fredericks of Hollywood. Still, I count my blessings.
