Spike wore a corset only once, when Drusilla asked him very, very nicely during sex. Angelus walked in on them and collapsed on the floor in laughter. Spike punched Angelus in the mouth and tried to stake him, but Angelus was laughing so hard he kept rolling around on the floor and Spike kept missing. Spike stayed drunk for a week afterwards, refusing to look at Dru or speak to Angelus. Angelus kept laughing the entire week, until Darla dragged him off to Paris on a shopping spree. When they returned a month later, Angelus gave Spike a pair of lacey silk stockings, claiming he "thought you'd want to be up on all the latest ladies' fashions." Spike grabbed the stockings and wrapped them around Angelus' neck in an effort to wrench his head off. It only stopped when Darla chained them both up in the basement and let Dru flay them into unconsciousness. The patterns were very pretty.

To this day, Angel can work Spike up into a frenzy by calling him "Lacey."
