Let's Hope it's not a La Perla


I wonder what he does with them? Displays them at home in a custom-built curio cabinet?

Love the look on his face!

Never heard of La Perla, am I missing a joke here? Wonder what the written message is. Perhaps he could use it as a slingshot. He is called David afterall.

Daydreaming David said...

Ha! BF. Thanks for the comment. La Perla is a luxury brand of lingerie. Most of their bras are $200 and up.

British fan said...

Thanks DD. That's why I dont know of it then, I'm not upmarket enough!!!

Daydreaming David said...

Here you go. Have fun virtually shopping. I've read way too many fashion mags, that's how I know of it!

UK fan said...

He used to get lacy G strings thrown at him but now he's over 60 he's getting support bras !!!!

Daydreaming David said...

LOL! You know, not being facetious or anything, but I'd love to know the point of it. What are fans hoping from him when they do this?

singmedavid said...

I actually think it's sexy to see him handling and enjoying women's underwear. LOL!

British fan said...

LOL! UK fan. I guess he has control pants a la Bridget Jones, corsets and thermal underwear to look forward to. Just joking!

DD, perhaps the women get a thrill from him handling their undergarments. Probably the closest they'll get to any sexual encounter. Please feel free to censor my comment!

singmedavid said...

Yup! I think you are onto something, BF. Another thing is that he seems to like getting those so they are encouraged to keep tossing them to him as they anticipate his pleasure. Have you ever seen him be rude about that kind of gift? And that look on his face...adorable. Look how he fills the cup with his hand so he can read what's written on it. LOL!!

I also see it as a kind of tribute to his tremendous sex appeal that he undeniably had, and for some of us, still has.

Adam Lampert on getting panties thrown at him here.

And Tom Jones.

Daydreaming David said...

I see what you're all saying. I don't know how many of these undergarments are tossed onstage (a couple? a dozen? a couple of dozens?), but am I the only one to think of the waste? Seriously, the pragmatic in me can't help but wonder the fate of this lingerie. Do the items end up in the trash? returned to their rightful owners? if they are brand spanking new, given to charities?

Sorry, but the practice is just all sorts of ick to me.

singmedavid said...

You're right about that, DD. It is a waste when they get tossed out. I can't imagine him keeping them.

I think throwing undergarments is the "grown-up" way to tell DC that he is still sexy to fans that have "loved" and idolized him for so many years.

If I recall from the few 1970's articles I've read on the internet, some young girls threw teddy bears and flowers on the stage at DC. At that young age, the young girls couldn't put into words the budding sexuality they were feeling towards DC. These feelings were a new experience, just as DC's sexiness on stage was a new experience.

I guess I see it as a "then and now" thing (pun intended) of the girls back then and the grown-up women today. The women today know exactly what they are feeling and are letting DC know it.

To me, throwing underwear is another DC live performance show stopper. It might have been amusing the first time, but I have a feeling it has happened numerous times at other more recent concerts. I think it is another reason for DC to stop singing and performing during a live concert.

I am new to DC's music. He IS sexy. That said, I enjoy listening to his unique voice, thoughtful delivery of the lyrics and appreciate his talent. He has proved he has staying power for 40 years and is much more than just a pretty boy.

I am very amused by the comments here. I guess he doesn't mind too much but I'm sure it all gets binned or given to charity. I dont know why they do it either DD. If I saw it in person I may find it amusing in the context of the style of his concerts these days. Just the pompous person inside me wishes sometimes he would do more upmarket and serious concerts, just the odd one would be nice!

I hope no-one throws undies when he does that concert with the Omaha Symphoney Orchestra! Would be nice if he wore a suit too!

singmedavid said...

Amen, Enlightened!

singmedavid said...

Yeah, BF, and it does seem like it's just another excuse to stop the concert, like Enlightened says. If it was just the once or twice and he still did a good number of songs uninterrupted, that would be fine for me. I would prefer not to feel like I've been bit cheated out of a good performance. But if it's "in addition to", I don't think I would mind.

At one concert, someone threw up two panties sewn together, one was a small sexy ones that had THEN written on it and the other was an older woman's larger cotton panties that had NOW written on them. He got a kick out of that.
Answer - he leaves all that stuff onstage when he leaves. Sometimes even flowers are left when he leaves. Who knows what happens to them, maybe workers take flowers home.

Barbara - Just David said...

One time he didn't do much joking with one and just tossed it back to the person who threw it up saying, "its not my size".

Daydreaming David said...

Ha! The two panties are funny.

I am not surprised in the least that he leaves everything on stage. That's exactly what I expected and I suspect this is true for the majority of entertainers. Perhaps some performers keep flowers for their dressing room. I'd have trouble imagining keeping much else. And yeah, that includes whatever personalized homemade gift loyal fans might bring.
