Comments below…
Michelle – “The Sensual Massage”:
My most embarrassing moment was in July of 2005 when they were on their second leg of their Astronaut tour. I actually approached Roger at the after party and asked him if he wanted a full body massage. His response was, “No thanks luv. I’m alright for the night.” That’s when I realized Gisella was sitting in the VIP section waiting for him. Boy, did I feel stupid afterwards. Till this day I will not forget the feeling of redness of my cheeks asking him this bravely.
Cassandra – “The Fart”:
I sat near Simon on an airplane once and we were both waiting for the bathroom. We both had to go really bad. I couldn’t hold it…I had to fart. I thought the plane noise was loud enough to cover up the sound, but Simon caught me. I was mortified and he knew it. He looked at me, smiled, and let one go himself. I’d like to think he did it just to make me feel better. We both had a laugh. I’ll never look at him the same. Don’t tell anyone.
Marina – “The Autograph”:
Just a few weeks ago I went to see Duran Duran in São Paulo. I heard they were staying at the Hilton so I took a cab there straight from the airport. Before I even got off the cab I saw some security at the hotel door and a van. Then someone walked out and group of people aproached him, asking for pictures.
I was sure it was one of the Durans, so I jumped out of the cab and ran after him. Turned out it was a famous samba singer, but definatly not Simon LeBon. He stopped to sign me an autograph, then looked at me curiously when he saw that the record in my hands wasn’t his. After running what seemed like miles to reach him, I just said “nope, not you” and simply turned my back. Behind me, was the cab driver, screaming his head off and cause he thought I´d run away. I completely forgot I had to pay him, so he cursed me in front of everyone. To top it all, I insisted on staying there, pestering people for information until I got it from a safe source tjhat Duran Duran wasn´t even staying there. In the end, I ended up meeting the fab four somewhere else, but I think I´m probably banished from every Hilton hotel in Brazil.
Mrs M: – “The Ignored Knickers”:
I gaze up, pinned against the security barrier, as Simon le Bon, my idol, sings my favorite song, Come Undone. He licks his finger and it becomes too much! In a moment of wild abandon, I slip off my knickers and throw them on the stage. They land at his feet. He’s seen them flying past (how could you not?) but being the consummate professional, he keeps singing. My knickers remain there for eons, dejected. Simon swaggers past and suddenly, he kicks them into the air. They sail down onto a bouncer’s head. I’m torn. I’m knickerless and most embarrassed.
