London, March 29 (IANS) Singer Katy Perry’s mother is concerned about her daughter’s wardrobe and gets embarassed when she sees her in transparent clothes.

A book proposal written by Mary Hudson details her concerns over her daughter’s showbiz lifestyle and desire for the singer to become a worship leader, reports contactmusic.com.

New York Post newspaper reports that the proposal details how Mary feels uncomfortable with her daughter’s flesh flashing stage outfits, but refuses to voice her disapproval.

Recalling an incident, Mary wrote: “Katy stepped out from behind the changing doors in a tiny risque costume. No mother wants to see the top of her daughter’s breast. My first instinct was to order her back behind those doors and demand she put something else on. However, I had no problem letting my eyebrows say what I wouldn’t allow my mouth to utter.”

Perry’s parents Mary and Keith Hudson - who are both Christian pastors - have conflicting feelings about her pop career.

Expressing her desire to see Katy become “a Kathryn Kuhlman type of healer” - an evangelist and faith healer who began preaching aged 16 - Mary wrote in a proposal for a new book about her daughter’s impact on her ministry.

“I recognised the psalmist gift in her performance. Yet she sang out, ‘I kissed a girl, and I liked it,’ while thousands joined her. One part of my heart soared. The other part broke for the thousands of hungry souls being fed something that didn’t nourish their spirit, but fed their flesh.”

While Mary insists she is happy with the successes her daughter, who is married to British comic Russell Brand, has achieved, she admits she worries about “saving” her from the music industry.

“Oh, dear god, how can I save her from all this? The money, the fame, the network, the people surrounding her, how can I compete?” she added.
