Official answer is while traveling for work one time in say my 40s? I was halfway across the country and alone and after a few drinks at the bar, went to a WalMart of KMart and bought 2 nightgowns. I think it was January or close to Valentine’s Day at the time and when the cashier sort of gave me a sideways look I answered with the tried and true known lie of they are for my wife for Valentine’s Day.

I went back to the hotel and tried them on excitedly. I still have them, but rarely put them on anymore.

Now, excepting those, only recently have I truly bought anything. From Amazon, 3 dresses, a pair of 3” heels and from WalMart 3 costume necklaces and a shapeware girdle with breast cups and straps that can come undone. In the past all I would do is use an old small belt of my wife’s to cinch in my gut.

That is ALL of my purchases so far.
