Comic books and mail order catalogs
I did not just look at the pictures in the lingerie section like most young boys did I actually read the descriptions for not only the lingerie but for the womens clothing section as well. I became quite knowledgeable on all of the fashion terms related to womens fashions especially the girdles. I mean really how many 7 year old boys know the difference between a panty girdle and body briefer or even what they are in the first place or the difference between a straight skirt and an a-line skirt We always had the big 3 under the family room coffee table. My after school routine was to go home and get out the catalogs and read them. Once mom got home then I switched to comic books. These were a great resource early on as a guide for how to wear my moms clothes properly. I have such fond memories of my youth, mom had some really nice clothes and some great girdles.
