Aug 8 2008Lily Allen explains the public appearance of her breasts
Lily Allen took to her blog today to explain why her nipples stepped out for some London air yesterday. It turns out she has small breasts and hates bras which is apparently the perfect recipe for Boobs Poppinsonia. And now the non-capitalized, oddly spaced writings of Lily Allen:
hello , i wore a loose fitting t shirt yesterday . I was very hot in London yesterday , and it's no secret I don't like wearing bras , besides i don't need to, measuring in at 32A it hardly seems necessary .My boob fell out twice and people on the blogs are saying it was a publicity stunt . Can I just say , i have been keeping myself very much to myself recently , i've been gardening , decorating my new flat and looking after my greiving grandfather
If i wanted publicity , i'd be accepting invitations not to mention money for turning up to glamourous events . I'm actually trying really hard to be out of the public eye , as I'm really proud of the work i've put into my album and I want people to appreciate the music , yes I enjoy attention and praise , thats why i went into this job . But don't accuse me of purposely slipping out of my clothes to get attention and press . I hate the fact that there are always 10 middle aged men following me everywhere that i go .
I understand that it's the price i pay for having a nice house and nice clothes , and i treat them with courtesy when i don't think that they particularly deserve it . i'm a very independent person and I like to live as normal a life as anybody where I can ,I live by myself , i drive myself around and run all my errands by myself . It's actually incredibly embarrasing and lonely when I'm walking down the street and men are chasing me with their cameras , drawing attention to me and people then pointing and taking out their camera's and phones all getting in on the action . I'm 5"2 i'm 23 and this stuff gets to me every so often , so when you see pictures of " lily looking , glum" or " lily in tears , again" it's not because i'm upset about my relationships or because i'm hungover . It's because i'm on my own and people are pointing at me like an animal in the zoo , talking about me as if i'm not there, meanwhile 10 -20 guys are all making money catching every second of it . Anyway my point is , i would never use my body in that way , I'm just not that kind of girl .
Anyone else stop reading when you realized you weren't going to see a nipple? Yeah, me too.

Ok, so you have small boobs and you think you don't need a bra. Well then how about something to hold in the enormous FUPA we saw?

FRIST - very touching
3. Iglio - August 8, 2008 2:05 PM
I can only assume "looking after my greiving grandfather" is some type of British slang for continuing incest.

"Anyway my point is , i would never use my body in that way , I'm just not that kind of girl ."
You mean "attractive", right?

"so when you see pictures of " lily looking , glum" or " lily in tears , again"
actually, Lily, you looked really really high

In fairness, if she were an American, the breasts would have stayed covered and her gut would have been visible hanging down from a too-short tshirt.
7. Mick - August 8, 2008 2:10 PM
I think she's eating both her food and Amy Winehouse's food.
8. Dr. Otto Van DerWahl - August 8, 2008 2:11 PM
You know I can sympathize with her. I often go commando to allow for some natural air conditioning. But that's where my sympathy ends. My unit is rather large and often times briefs or boxers just constrain it too much.

Not looking like a cow about to let down milk would help with the whole "animal in a zoo" problem.

Hopefully her granddad is still strong enough to hold her head down while he ejaculates.
11. kk - August 8, 2008 2:24 PM
awww she's cool ~ leave her alone
12. veggis troll is so fucking lame - August 8, 2008 2:24 PM
#10 Still in first place for the moron award troll.

Lily I thought fat people were jolly.
14. veggi - August 8, 2008 2:30 PM
good to hear
15. dude_on - August 8, 2008 2:32 PM
That was some serious mind-numbing drivel. Would someone just give her a hug and tell her it's okay if she wants to flash her tits.
16. meeeee - August 8, 2008 2:32 PM
hahaha.....i DID stop reading! good call.
17. rough daddy - August 8, 2008 2:33 PM
i dont understand this chick some time she looks really cute, some time shes hideous..
18. Crymearvier - August 8, 2008 2:36 PM
What's with the celebrity whining? Cry me a river, Lily. You get the money and fame, you pay the price. You'll miss the attention once it's gone, Baby Jane. Enjoy it while you can.
And the photogs and such are way, way easy to ditch. Disinformation, Lily. Look it up.
19. bootlips - August 8, 2008 2:38 PM
No need to apologize, Lily. Keep showing those nice titties and we'll be even.
20. Sell Porn Make Money - August 8, 2008 2:39 PM
couldn't be less interested.
21. James - August 8, 2008 2:44 PM
Honestly? At least it's pretty legible. She can write sentences - that's something I don't suspect most of her contemporaries could accomplish. Fair play to Lily Allen.
22. The Who (is she?) - August 8, 2008 2:45 PM
I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, "Son now here's some little something"
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright
Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily
And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, "Son, now don't be silly"
"She's been dead since 1929"
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, "Hey mister, have you ever seen
Pictures of Lily?"

Who is this ugly troll and why is she famous? She's a bitch because she isn't attractive and nobody will ever love her.
24. The Laughing G-D - August 8, 2008 3:01 PM
Awe
and
To Each His Own...
25. Tara - August 8, 2008 3:02 PM
Newsflash...she's not fat. She's not the most thin girl in the world but she's not fat...just average. So chill with the fat comments.
Anyway, I like Lily. She seems like a very pleasant and nice girl.
26. farthammer - August 8, 2008 3:02 PM
Moley little midget, isn't she?
27. LL - August 8, 2008 3:05 PM
Jesus Christ, all that blabber just to tell us what those of us with eyeballs already knew: no bra. "I didn't do it deliberately." OK, but you didn't try really hard NOT to show us your tits, either. So you don't get any credit for that. And the tits themselves, not that impressive, so start wearing something under those fugly, giant-necked shirts. Damn.
28. James - August 8, 2008 3:10 PM
All that typing must a burned a few calories. Good thing, she really needs to lose weight, or she'll have to keep flashing her boobs to draw attention away from her big fat beer belly.
29. booblover - August 8, 2008 3:12 PM
You got some nice titties Lilly. Don't be ashamed of them. There's a million girls like you every day who go topless at beaches. No big deal.
30. veggi's troll is funnier than she is (how hard is that?) - August 8, 2008 3:17 PM
She is a fat nasty limy bitch and should off herself. None needs to hear her rancid childish "music". I love how these simpletons are blessed with a decent singing voice and now with the right schtik they are able to do whatever they want in life. Think of how hard Mozart and Beethoven had it and they could compose fucking symphonies.
Capitalism sure is interesting (stares at the feces spiraling down the commode and thinks of life on Earth)
31. RichPort - August 8, 2008 3:18 PM
Decorating her flat? Did she get a nipple piercing or something?
32. Barrack Obama - August 8, 2008 3:33 PM
#25 If you are a girl and you are over 135 lbs. (regardless of height) you are FAT!
33. jEnsmo - August 8, 2008 3:34 PM
Good for you Lily, don't let people's burning greed for celebrity dirt destroy you and turn you into another number :)
34. Joe - August 8, 2008 4:03 PM
Her number is a roman numeral: XXL.
35. Mal Gusto - August 8, 2008 4:11 PM
My 16 year old niece is about that size and some how manages to keep from flashing everyone in the house. Lily did it on purpose. She wants the attention.
I love the line:
"yes I enjoy attention and praise , thats why i went into this job ." not to make music, for attention and praise. nice.
36. RichPort - August 8, 2008 4:33 PM
#35 - Dude... stop looking at your niece like that...
37. garnet201 - August 8, 2008 4:37 PM
No way those are just "A" cups.
38. Blah - August 8, 2008 4:41 PM
"I'm 5'2"...what the hell does that have to do with anything?! What, short people can't handle stress as well? Anyways, a 32A Cup? No way; her nipples alone were a 32A Cup; silly girl.
39. Famous Plastic - August 8, 2008 6:07 PM
Lily is awesome :)
40. roy - August 8, 2008 7:10 PM
First off, it sucks being famous. I'm not but know some people that are. When you live in a big city (unlike most of you probably) and have some modicum of fame you get chased constantly. You can't eat out at restaurants once without being interupted, etc. etc. etc. Once you step out the door you no privacy. Instead of ragging on her tits, her body or your percieved notion of what she is like, have some empathy. Get off these silly comment pages. Tho they are anonymous for the most you are belittling yourselves.

I'll pay anyone $100 who can give me a chance to punch this dumb fat cow in the head. $500 if I can use a nightstick.
42. Kim Lardassian - August 8, 2008 10:02 PM
32??? I think not she is a hefty lass is Lily. 38A perhaps.
43. bonespur - August 8, 2008 10:07 PM
Gosh, #41. How incredibly manly!
44. mc - August 8, 2008 11:08 PM
now i know this is the superficial and i appreciate the subtle commentary that reminds me so... but i honestly believe lilly allen's comment deserves respect. reading what she said really hit upon what i've always thought about the paps and fame. its sad, really, and makes me ponder the increasingly ambivalent questionability of American pop culture.
repeat: i am aware this is the superficial... and i love this site (along with geekologie, which i frequently question, as well).
45. Freber - August 9, 2008 12:21 AM
Amazing how I manage to keep my boobs covered even without 10 middle aged men watching me all the time! I guess I'm just gifted that way.
46. Lexi - August 9, 2008 1:34 AM
#38:
Her 5'2" height makes her feel vulnerable to bigger, taller men who follow her around; she knows she won't be able to them off should they choose to attack her. I've seen short teen girls and women be harassed by groups of guys at concerts, fairs, and even stores, and it's usually another man or a small group of people who break up the harassment. Lily's afraid something dangerous could happen, and since she lives by herself, she can only hope that a stanger will step in and help her.

#32 - you are an IDIOT.
49. titsonsnack - August 9, 2008 8:06 AM
NO. Chicks with A cups still need to wear bras, for fuck sake. Nothing annoys me more than "I have small breasts so I don't need to wear a bra". Yes you do. No matter how small they are, they're still flipping and flopping around, and they're still gonna hang down like sad pancakes by the time you're fourty.

Lily Allen got caught, on her way to giving a BLOW-JOB! Thats the name of this article
51. bestofbritish - August 9, 2008 4:08 PM
wow, its not just tonnes of chips you guys EAT over there....you wear a fair few on your shoulders too!. As for the fat comments arent YOU the ones with the hightest obesity rate in the world?
52. sikkas - August 9, 2008 6:52 PM
"10 middle aged men following me everywhere that i go"
wow just like the dorks that comment on this site...
53. Tenchi059 - August 9, 2008 7:11 PM
LEAVE LILY ALLEN ALONE!
Just kidding.
I noticed right now I have the same cell phone. I'm kinda confused. Should I throw it away, or should I boast to every friend: "Hey! You would never believe it! Me and lily Allen, we've got the same phone!"
I'll just pretend I never saw this pic.
54. kevin - August 9, 2008 8:06 PM
I see it this way! Lily Allen started out wanting to be noticed by an audience, and saw a chance to make some good money, but now shes in over her head and has to except it. this much attention was not in her plans, (yes shes a singer) and no she's not a pop star, but her music was marketed that way, Without the paparazzi (no they don't make the world go around) she would still have recognition, and most likely the kind that she is looking for.So now she will fade out but not fade away, if for no other reason than just being emotionally tired. she reads her comments from time to time and hope I'm right for her sake Good Luck Lily.
55. zoe - August 10, 2008 8:59 AM
I actually thinks she seems like a cool person..
56. roisin - August 10, 2008 12:47 PM
i'm a 34A and there's no way she's a 32A!

please feel free to comment again when you get your girlfriend's dick out of your mouth or butt or whichever came first.
pardon the pun.
58. Jas - August 11, 2008 11:57 AM
You all should STFU, stop criticizing Lily, she's not at fault.
At least she already explained. Should respect her.
Did she try to flash her boobs in every of her photos?
Just because of those unglamorous photos, means she's a bitch?
Wake up, look yourself into the mirror, I can see you're a bitch to bitch around,
telling people that she's a bitch for doing so.
She is attractive and I love her music.
Don't like her? Fuck off la!
