Lily Allen - Riches To Rags

[gregd]

Anyone watching this? Her and her sister come across as somewhat deluded in their priviliged bubble world (to say the least) but it's certainly watchable.. I would, too, for what it's worth (both of them and the dippy branding woman, although I draw a line at scary Mary Portas)..

Love your attempt to try and drag back some manliness at the end there.

However.. it failed. My Mrs watched this and I found something else to do.

is this the show where she keeps flashing her nips?.....still wasnt enough to make me watch

[arfur sleep]

my OH watched the first episode - i was reading the paper/faffing on laptop etc in the background.

i watched a few minutes towards the end and noted how one minute she could look really attractive and the next look very plain.

OH said she admired her attitude but said she's as flakey as a '99 special with extra flakes!

I've always fancied a go on Lily! I'll google the nip slips after the series finishes!

okay, consider myself rumbled... In my defence my Missus had it on too but I lacked the wherewithall to go and do something else.. plus I caught the nipslip (love that) in the trailer too..

It is somewhat worrying that I'm also watching that "How To Make It In America" series at the moment, which is also set in the fashion industry, albeit from the same guys behind Entourage and more from a male perspective. It's kind of "meh" but I'm sticking with it.

Yet another "celeb" who has pulled away from the public eye, doesn't want the media attention, hates the papparazzi, especially when she has personal tradegy...

...but then happily lets a camera-man follow her around.

I was hoping it meant that she was going bankrupt..... Ah well, just a fashion show/store (no, I didn't pay "enough" attention)..

Is anyone else watching this aghast at how obvious it is that the business doesn't even stand the slightest chance of ever succeeding and wondering why nobody has told them?
I can't get my head around it.
Hiring dresses out to people who can't afford them, for £350 a time with a £300k start up cost.
Its quite fascinating to watch, but I just can't comprehend it.

Agreed - I'm really enjoying the show but the whole concept of the store does seem completely barking.
