Idol smash hit in the mall

December 11 2006

DAMIEN Leith used to be able to walk through a shopping centre unnoticed.

That was six months ago. Yesterday, more than 1000 fans crammed into Warringah Mall's centre court to see the latest Australian Idol star-in-the-making.

It was the 2006 series winner's first shopping- centre appearance, and he was treated to a rock-star reception.

"What a lovely-looking crowd we've got here," Leith said, before launch-ing into his opening number, a version of the Chris Isaak hit Wicked Game.

Leith finished the showcase with his No. 1 single Night of my Life, as a fittingly green G-string was thrown on the stage as a souvenir for the Irish charmer.

Now that's an example of forward thinking.

A green G-string? Okay, own up! Who was it?

Green? At least the undies got their share of press time.

[Bahamagirl]

Not green and I don't think that it was a g-string. The reporter seems to have tarted up the story.
Oops. Upon close examination of photo with Tim holding the 'evidence' it looks like a g-string. ;D

[winterlong]

Yes, but if you note on the video footage of the afrementioned article in flight....you can make out..er....leg holes!

I would say bikini brief, in a tasteful shade of pale blue...


obviously not tarty enough for the daily telegraph!

[winterlong]

oooooooo...there were photeys with that story:

[Mi chiamano Kami]

OMG. The famous undies have been tarted up for the media. That makes my week.

[thebraff (Braffy)]

They were thrwon by Janny and it was all organised over the last week or two. When will they get it right
Janny posted on the forum early last week that she had bought them and that they were AQUA.

We were just to the right - everyone standing next to us crammed into the photo. We should've jumped on him - then it would've been a picture of the five of us on the floor!
You should've see how enthusiastically those two guys on either side of him threw their arms around him

[KrisLovesDamien]

I'm guessing that for his own personal safety, he chose that spot in the crowd really carefully. I hate to think what would've happened if he came over to us and Janny got one of her ideas...
