Our ears are still ringing from last night's Iggy Pop concert at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, celebrating the re-launch of Ray-Ban's iconic aviator sunglasses. At 63, Pop was impressively up to his old antics: dumping drinks over his head, running around the stage until his pants nearly fell off, and diving into a super cute crowd that included Kate Bosworth, Justin Long, Mick Rock, Aurel Schmidt, Lissy Trullie, Charlotte Ronson and Chloe Sevigny, who was looking appropriately punk in all black and confided to us that Iggy really gets her mojo going. "The Stooges are my favorite band to have sex to. They're so orgasmic!" Our mojo got going as well when Iggy, muscley as ever, tore off his leather vest after the first song. Much to the chagrin of the Music Hall's security staff, Pop also wasted little time inviting the sweaty, screaming crowd on to the stage. PAPER's Michelle Lindsay took him up on the offer and got some great photos before security had had enough and kicked everyone off. Iggy also brought the Virgins, who opened for him with Free Energy, on stage for an encore including "Fun House" and "No Fun." We hung out with the Virgins' lead singer Donald Cummings as he "decompressed" after the show and asked him what it was like to share the stage with the punk-rock legend. "It's a childhood fantasy. He was really sweet and made us feel really comfortable," said Cummings still looking a bit shell-shocked and Mime-ish in a really cute striped shirt and a pair of suspenders. Later on the Virgins' bus he cuddled up to artist and former Paper Beautiful Person Aurel Schmidt for a photo. We then headed back to Manhattan to the Kenmare for the after-party where we saw another cute couple of the night, the very svelt Kelly Osbourne and her fiance Luke Worall. Looks like Iggy gets everyone in the mood for some lovin'!
