SEE, I KNEW IT! TY Gelly! I didn't even remember where the term "peaches" came from until I saw this on google: @wxteoevilyn: ADAM LAMBERT RIPPED HIS PANTS AND SAID PICK YOUR PEACHES! and it happened at Osaka concert-- peach apparently means ass in Japanese...Oh, Adam! ;D Is this what happened ? What I remember is what that link you posted wrote. That a Japanese fan wanted to write "I saw his thighs" in Japanese and from the excitement wrote in Japanese "I saw his peaches" ! Apparently a similar spelling to Japanese between thighs and peaches? Anyway we were laughing so hard, THAT I can remember clearly! ETA What Hoppers said! I truly didn't remember anything about who/how his thighs got labeled "peaches"--just saw that tweet on google from back in the day and assumed that person knew what they were talking about! I know nothing!--except that this all started with HSM saying the two Adams' "apples" should be compared fairly!! And I'm really leaving now before I get derailed any further from chores! ;D

AleksandraKvYes Adam used many times this expression. If you haven't seen this interview, I kinda thing you're gonna like it. He's using that expression. Watch the whole interview.

Oooh, I probably need to explain Schoolhouse Rock.
Schoolhouse Rock was a set of educational cartoons that ran BETWEEN regular cartoons on Saturday morning in the United States back in the 80's (and maybe later, I don't remember).
The topics were history, civics, grammar, science, and math. I swear most of the stuff I knew in elementary school came from Schoolhouse Rock! Best 3-4 minutes ever!
Some examples:

Gelly, the interview was awesome and I really liked the context ;D Do you know all the interviews by heart? I mean this is an old one, how on earth did you a) remember he used the phrase there? b) find it, and so quickly? It's scary :D You should go to Las Vegas and make loads of money ETA Hoppers, I am so going to use these videos! What a great way to make some otherwise dull facts interesting! Thank you :D ( I'm a teacher)

Back to this picture that makes me ~feel things (and not just me, it seems , I just wanted to mention that Adam's posture is very popular in art, although traditionally used for women: The figure recumbent on a chaise-longue, one arm is up, to show her body as "open" and welcoming; The other arm seems to "defend" or hide the genital area, but in fact it only emphasizes it. Edouard Manet created a storm when he took this traditional pose, but made the woman look straight at the viewer in a defiant look, so she wasn't so sumissive any more (plus the model was a well-known prostitute). It's the first painting below. I added a few other examples, but if you google "odalisque", you'd find many others. Manet, Olympia Matisse, Odalisque aux magnolias Berteaux, Adalisque with a Lute Matisse, Odalisque Ingres, Odalisque with Female Slave
