to think Lily Allen great pop singer, no business woman (Last nights ch4 tv)

[GabbyLoggon]

Channel 4 TV 10pm last night.

I like Lily Allen as a pop singer. She seems bona fide bolshi. (And had had cute rhyming hits)

But the business thing last night struck me as Lily out of her depth.

she may be kidding us with 2 episodes to go. Time will tell.

Pfft. I see a backlash coming.

shes crazy to think people will pay 300 to HIRE a piece of clothing. no way"!!

Thats true, Knitted, but some of these TV series lead us up the garden path at the start...and then seem to magic something for an ending. ..

Are we being had?

Or is the great Lily, just as she appeared in the first episode.?

Neither she nor her sister seem to have done basic business research.

If she is really risking 250 grand on the basis of what we saw, then its a bit silly. (and I am no business man.)

Come to think of it there is a shop in my area which hires out posh frocks

There is a model for this type of business. Something to do with handbags. So not hard to look for a version that works. But I agree Senor Gabby, I suspect we are being garden-pathed. A bit like Marty Portas. "ta da" they fucking took my advice after all . Big surprise.

I also suspect £250K is now, officially, chump change to Ms Allen.

yea Ramon, Lady Porta is a great act

I cannot stand Lily Allen. Pure nepotism that got her where she is, and her dad was crap too.

Hmmm I quite liked her though. I've seen her interviewed before and thought she was a bit gobby and not that bright but she came across well.An interesting character, quite eloquent,likeable.

However soooo worried about her sister.Why on earth did she send her to LA on her own with a pocket full of cash? Said sister doesn't seem happy and needs to give up smoking.Her teeth and skin are shocking.

Hope I'm wrong but I see a massseeeeeeve blow up on it's way. She really reminds me of dp's sister. Lilly reminds me of dp and his other sister propping up said scatty sister,often let down,hoping she'll change,they never do.

I knew a radio presenter who was in a play with Lily,s dad...She said he was a great musician. That apart I dont know much about him.

I thought her prem ejac song was very catchy; but I fealt sorry for the young bloke who inspired it.

I liked the way the "head" bit was censored for radio consumption.,

I do not for one minute think Lily has stopped performing for good. she will be made an offer she cannot refuse

I think she is lovely, but why did she keep laughing like a loon? It was quite un-nerving.

Mary Portas was hysterical, 'your idea is basically shit, but I will be here to help you'.

Who would want to hire an outfit that stank of smoke though ?

2 of them were both puffing away with racks of clothes hanging around. Even the narrator was drawn to comment at one point.

As a complete aside - did anyone see Sarah Beeny's Restoration Nightmare? I could not for the life of me work out how they went from house-falling-down to polished wedding venue betweemn the 2nd and 3rd episode.

I killed the thread!

Ramona you are too kind!

Lily Allen was saying on Twitter last week how ashamed she is of the doc and how she felt it was unfairly edited as well as that she is just a completely different person now.

I think it must be horrible to be in her position, a documentary about her life that was filmed before possibly the hardest/most defining six monthsnof her life.

All that aside she has great boobs . I wish I had boobs like that

ugh i agree with squeaky.horrible.

Can't wait til next week - I predict an almighty ruck with her sister, the business closing before it even opens and a new hit single called 'Sister, you are as crap at business as I am'

Valium

GabbyLoggon? Writing an appropriate AIBU thread? With a question in it? And no 'Gabby' at the end of each post? Have we assimilated the chatbot?
