Oh great… I literally just started getting into Lily Allen’s music within the last few months. I was always able to resist her Brit pop because I found her to be so annoying. Then she started hanging out with Kate Moss… so then I started to think Lily must be cooler than what I thought because Kate thought she was cool and Kate is cool, so…
Oh yeah, so like I was saying, Lily Allen has confirmed that she will be taking a break from her music career to follow her life long dream of opening up a rental clothing company with her sister. WTH? Sounds like someone stayed up all night partying and had an intoxicated epiphany…
Lily Allen has confirmed she’ll take “one or two years off from recording and performing music” from March 2010. It follows rumours of her quitting music to pursue a career in acting.
The singer said she would use the time off to start her own record label, set up a fashion shop with her sister and “spend some time in the home I’ve built for myself”.
Allen, who earlier this year became embroiled in public discussion surrounding illegal downloading, also spoke about why she had reduced her presence on the internet.
“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,” she added. “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.”
Whilst she takes a break from music she said she would set up a rental fashion store with her sister called Lucy In Disguise.
“It’s about making fashion democratic,” she said. “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.”
Okay girl, just calm down… you’ve been up for three days straight. Go to bed and get back to making music and millions before your window is closed. Some other drunken British girl with super model friends and a sweet little voice is going to steal your spot.
