The singer’s insurers have told her to bin her trademark spinning peppermint number because her hair keeps getting caught in the wheels. They are concerned about the resulting high level of strain on her neck. Katy said: “I keep being told the insurers are worried I will injure my neck. “I seriously doubt it could be lethal but they want a new bra designed that will not allow hair to be caught up.
“Well, I was always known at school as the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder.”The US star admitted that her array of wigs have been given a torrid time by the rotating candy bra attached to her dress while she has been performing The get-up, which features red and white spinning lollipops, appears in her new movie Katy Perry: Part Of Me. Her barnet managed to go unscathed during that particular performance. But when it does get caught up, Katy just has to carry on regardless.
She said: “My hair got caught in the wheels of my spinning peppermint bra and began to coil around and around. “I’m forced to just go with it so, by the end of the song, it looked quite like I was licking my own t**. What a girl does for her art.”
You can understand why the money men are so keen for her to go underwear shopping. A missed performance can cost tour operators, and their insurers, millions. A source said: “It may seem trivial but a simple pulled muscle can stop a performer like Katy from going on.
“Insurers don’t care about the art or the fun — just the dangers.”It’s a shame she’s no longer with Russell Brand because he gets bras thrown at him all the time during his stand-up shows. Plus, he’s probably got a wardrobe full of lingerie left by girls during his lothario days pre-Katy. Second-hand bras might not be massively appealing to the singer.
