Buy Lily Allen

£2,100.00 is the current asking price for a date with Lily Allen. It's for charity, of course. (Via Contact Music/P4K.)

Here's the auction description:
She’s the hottest female solo artist in the country right now and we’re offering you the opportunity to go backstage at one of her gigs and join the star for drinks afterwards. Her feisty personality and tendency to speak her mind won’t fail to make you ‘Smile’!

Lily Allen
Age: 21
Lives: London
Country: UK
Profession: Singer/Song Writer
Hair Colour: Brown
Hair Length: Long
Height: 5' 11"
Interests: Designing trainers, writing music, collecting records, sassy dresses and sunday roasts.

Here's the link. Good luck! You and Lil will have a blast badmouthing the Kooks and discussing obscure reggae LPs. Plus, no shipping costs!

But in real life they never look like they do in the photo, do they.

Thought she was pretty minging myself.

But hey, if "going on a date" with Lily Allen is not a claim to fame, then what is!?

Just about any picture with high-contrast grey-scale, with lightening of skin tones, will make the subject look attractive. It highlights clean lines while hiding imperfections.

I am also commenting because I'm incredulous that she's 5'11"...funny that nothing else in the blurb piqued my attention

There is absolutely no way she's 5'11". And anyway, though I like her music, honestly, why would you want to date her? I mean, we've all got our own tastes, but...methinks she needs to put her money where her mouth is.

Just checked out the other charity dream date auctions (including Miss England and Miss Ireland, both hovering at 1k quid)--the only people with higher bids than Lily is the host of UK "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" and the hottie from Atomic Kitten (who is over 5k pounds so far). Bizarre...

she's about 5'2'' so they probably added an extra 1 on to 5'11'' or something...

Well on a video on YouTube she admitted to being "incredibly tall". The video is called Knock 'Em Out or something like that. She is being interviewed at first. She talks about being tall in the beginning.

So even though she doesn't "look" it. She said it herself.

She's 5'2 not 5'11. If she was 5'11 she wouldnt be called "pint-sized potty mouth". Please change!
