But that’s the only thing we like about her!
Lily Allen has announced that she will be taking “one or two years off from recording and performing music” beginning in March 2010. Lily’s last scheduled gig is a Dizzee Rascal concert at the O2 Arena in London.
Allen plans to start her own record label and set up a fashion store with her sister. She’s also not participating in the worldwide craze known as the INTERNET. Silly says:
“I’ve stopped everything, I haven’t got a computer and I haven’t got a blackberry. I don’t do emails or anything now. I’ve decided to stop being so hypocritical and consume things and pay for them. I buy music in vinyl and buy newspapers. I support the industry I’m in. I’m a neo-luddite, that’s how I describe myself.”
Lily’s retail endeavors with her sister include setting up a rental fashion store called Lucy In Disguise. She explains:
“It’s about making fashion democratic. That’s the idea behind it. It’s about getting really nice clothes but letting people rent them for affordable prices so they can go out and feel like a million dollars and it won’t cost them a million dollars.”
As for the record label, she plans to sign and support new artists “at a really early level.”
In addition to working, Lily also says she just wants “to spend some time in the home I’ve built for myself.”
No doubt with her boyfriend Sam Cooper!
