She began to ask those on her Christmas-card list to fashion cloth banners depicting things they could not bear to lose.

They bought black fishnet stockings and gloves to match short black bodysuits sewn up in the back with lime green ribbon. They combined songs like Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For?” and 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop...
