The book was published on September 20, 2018, and several excerpts from the book caused significant press coverage before the release. The book covers a variety of topics such as feminism, tabloids, money, fake orgasms, bad managers, fame, sexual violence, mental health, narcissism, co-dependency, festivals, motherhood, stalking and parking tickets. It has received positive reviews. Von Lily Allen is an English singer-songwriter. Born on May 2, 1985 at the age of 2, as actor Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Titled EMI Allen has released four albums: Alright, Still (2006), It's Not Me, It's You (2009), Sheezus (2014) and No Shame (2018). Allen says she wrote the book so her daughters could understand her view of events in her life, and set the record straight after the inaccuracies and misleading stories of the British press. Allen wrote more chapters for the book that were not included, saying she could go on and on and on. Her father had not read the memoir before it was published. The book was announced in August 2018 and published by Blink Publishing on September 20, 2018, coincidentally on the same day as the Mercury Prize ceremony 2018, in which No Shame was nominated. The book presents 100 memoirs presented in the form of thematic essays. Press coverage of several topics included in My Thoughts Was Disclosed by the media prior to the book's release. These include the sexual assault of Allen by a music industry executive, Allen's intervention in Chris Martin's production and an apology in Cheryl's book, with which Allen had long-standing disagreements. Metro reports that Allen was not surprised by the media reaction and was accustomed to it. On September 2, 2018, Allen wrote on Instagram that she had sex with female escorts in 2014 during a tour to promote Sheezus. Allen said she made the post on Instagram because the Daily Mail planned to publish an article about it the next day. Allen criticized the press for portraying the events as a lesbian sex romping prostitute. The day after the book was published, Alice Vincent of The Telegraph wrote an article entitled Can Lily Allen's heartbreaking book light up the moment of MeToo by Lily Allen? listing three incidents from a book in which Allen took advantage of men in the music industry, Vincent writes that the book can be a high-profile appeal. Vincent notes that Allen wanted to name the producer who sexually assaulted her, but the publisher's lawyers Allen's synopsis describes the feeling of neglecting her parents: her mother was addicted to drugs and her father was a narcissist who had affairs. Allen details the many schools she went to and describes a car accident involving her mother and brother that occurred on the day she performed at a school concert. At the age of 17, she met Lester, with whom she had an 18-month relationship. Allen overdosed on paracetamol after their breakup. She describes herself as interdependent. During the same period, her father arranged a deal with London Records and wrote songs for her with Pablo Cook. The label lost interest in her, and after she sued to get out of the contract, they unsuccessfully objected for 3.6 million pounds. George Lamb started managing Allen, and she wrote music with Future Cut. Lamb stopped running Allen, but she got a deal with Parlophone of 25,000 pounds for five albums. With a growing Myspace fan base, Allen was profiled in Observer Music Monthly and began working with Greg Kurstin. Writing about the pernicious nature of journalists and tabloids, Allen claims that during her period of fame, her words were twisted and the stories about her were constructed in accordance with misleading narratives. She describes the news of the world story leaked by Lester. In 2007, The Sun called Allen's agent to confirm that she was pregnant, but Allen realized she was not pregnant until a week later. In announcing it publicly, she faked a miscarriage three weeks later. Allen writes about many visits to the Glastonbury Festival. In 1998, her father had a heart attack at the festival and took cocaine immediately after being discharged. (Note 1) Allen writes about hosting the G e Awards with Elton John, and the wrongful headline about the two fallout that followed. She says her three Ivor Novello Awards are the only awards she appreciates, as other music awards are influenced by politics between record labels. Allen describes his first two sexual encounters at the age of fourteen, with men who were several years older. She describes a sexual encounter with Liam Gallagher, realizing the next day that he was married to Nicole Appleton. Allen detailed her young lack of financial awareness, which led her to a slew of parking tickets. Allen began dating Sam Cooper in 2009 after working with him for several years. They bought a country house as soon as Allen was pregnant with a child they named George. However, she suffered a miscarriage seven months after her pregnancy and then had sepsis. Cooper proposed shortly after, and they married in June 2011. Their daughter Ethel was born in November 2011, but her laryngomalacia meant she had to out of the tube for the first eight months. Their second daughter Marnie was born in January 2013. Allen struggled to write Sheezus because the label didn't want her to discuss her motherhood, and kept washing her. Allen developed bulimia and cocaine and other appetite suppressant to reduce its eating. Allen became overweight when pregnant with Marnie, but after giving birth she quickly lost weight with alcohol and drugs. Meanwhile, the reaction to perceived racism in a music video on Hard Out Here led Allen to learn more about cross-feminism. When Allen began touring for Sheezus, she felt isolated by a recent altercation with her mother, her former booking agent, suing her, her manager resigned, and members of the touring group, The Streets, ignored her comments about the production and eventually resigned. During the tour, Allen bought vibrators and discovered how to make an orgasm. She also had dealings with men and hired prostitutes, which continued as Allen supported Miley Cyrus on her Bangerz tour. Allen's use of pharmaceuticals and alcohol has become very dangerous. After accidentally headbutting Orlando Bloom at a party, Chris Martin spoke to Allen and she decided to return to London where she accidentally overdosed. After a futile conversation with her father, Allen spoke to Cooper in mid-2015, and the couple broke up. In 2016, Allen was sexually assaulted by a record executive. She drank after six months of sobriety, and woke up at 5am to find the executive slapping her buttocks and trying to put his penis in her vagina. She discusses the prevalence of abuse in the music industry that was not resolved during the #MeToo movement. Allen talks about his stalker Alex Gray, who broke into her home in 2015. She slowly hooked Up With Gray to a man who had been sending her threatening messages online since 2008, once appearing at her concert with a banner in which she allegedly wrote Fear, stole her email in 2009 and sent her a series of emails. Allen hired a lawyer and paid 40,000 pounds in legal costs to take the case seriously; Police destroyed Gray's emails, said the incident was a burglary, and refused to keep Allen informed. Gray was eventually convicted and sent to a psychiatric hospital. Allen talks about how her wealth and privilege allowed her to pursue the case, and expresses concern about how the less powerful victims of the prosecution fare in the lawsuit. At the end of 2016, Allen had a psychotic episode and had to take prescription drugs for two months. In the last few chapters, Allen writes about his recovery. She talks about sobriety, her candor on social media, the composition of No Shame and ends on the line I have my voice back. Receiving Anita Singh from The Daily Telegraph gives the book four out of five stars. In a positive review, New Statesman's Jude Rogers praises the book as uniquely frank and praises in which she explores the darkness of being a very famous woman. Rogers notes that the poignancy of the prose made her cry while reading one one Katie Glass writes in the Times that one can't read this book and not feel sorry for Allen. Glass praises Allen as remarkably open about the origins of history and describes Allen's description of the lack of fame as honest. She also says that Allen rarely recognizes his privileges, skimms over pleasure and seems to suffer from severe imposter syndrome. Miles Salter of The Press praised Allen for showing enormous authenticity about his shortcomings. Salter praised the book for its uncoronded honesty, but criticized that cultural and political events were relatively unabating. The Guardian's Fiona Sturges believes the book makes it irresistible but unrecoverable as no detail is considered too personal. Sturges describes the memoir as visceral and affecting and praises the clear and heartfelt story about Allen's treatment in the press, while criticizing that her characteristic self-awareness deserted her when discussing her privilege. The Observer's Hannah Jane Parkinson describes the book as uneven. Parkinson praises Allen's comment about the music industry and writes that her thoughts are very honest and ridiculous, calling Allen smart and persistent.

  • Escaping Eden
    Escaping Eden Chapter 1 I wake up screaming. Where am I? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cold? It’s dark. I look around, blinking sleep from my eyes. I notice a window somewhere in the back of the room. It’s open and moonlight shines through, casting a square beam of light across the floor. A breeze drifts in, and white curtains float like pale ghosts in the darkness. In the narrow light of the moon, I see that the carpet is burgundy. I also see the outlines of furniture. My head vaguely aching, I look at the shadows scattered messily across the room. I feel like sweeping them up to make room for light. I shake off the urge. Stop being delusional. There’s a funny smell in the air, ​ ​ like a mixture of old home mustiness and laboratory sterilization. I realize that I’m lying on the floor. Why am I not on the bed? ​ The last thing I remember is pain. Maybe that’s why I woke up screaming. The ​ ​ pain was intense. The pain was… cold. I decide to swallow my fear. It tastes terrible. ​ I stand up and my neck aches. As I rub my hand across it, my bones crack like I haven’t moved in a long time. I whisper to myself. “As Grandpa always said…” My train of thought rolls off into the distance. Where was I going with this? Who is “Grandpa”? I put my hand on my sweaty ​ forehead. I must be tired. I look for a light switch by approaching the walls and groping ​ ​ around.

  • Pression and Shock, He Burned His Ballet Slippers and Fled to the Sewers, Only to Surface These Forty Years Later
    Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo “The funniest night you will ever have at the ballet.” - Sunday Times “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” -The Seattle Times History th Celebrating its 40 Anniversary season, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, Les Ballets Trockadero first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. The TROCKS, as they are affectionately known, quickly garnered a major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker, and combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the Company as an artistic and popular success. By mid 1975, the TROCKS' inspired blend of their loving knowledge of dance, their comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces, was being noted beyond New York. Articles and notices in publications such as Variety, Oui, The London Daily Telegraph, as well as a Richard Avedon photo essay in Vogue, made the Company nationally and internationally known. The 1975-76 season was a year of growth and full professionalization. The Company found management, qualified for the National Endowment for the Arts Touring Program, and hired a full-time teacher and ballet mistress to oversee daily classes and rehearsals. Also in this season, they made their first extended tours of the United States and Canada. Packing, unpacking, and repacking tutus and drops, stocking giant sized toe shoes by the case; running for planes and chartered buses all became routine parts of life.

  • MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY Written by Jeff Lowell
    MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY Written by Jeff Lowell Technical note: This series is the story of a couple, Peter and Dana, and it'll be partially told from their POV. We'll have the freedom to see through their eyes and hear their thoughts at various points. I'll specify the POV shots when it's necessary for the story or joke, but aside from that, it'll be an editing choice. TEASER FADE IN. INT. NEW YORK STREET - DAY We’re in the Village, streets still crowded with people heading home from work, shopping, going to dinner... PETER is walking towards the camera. He’s 30ish, a good looking guy. His eyes move back and forth, looking at the people heading towards him. PETER’S POV: We see that his gaze is flitting from woman to woman, landing on each one briefly. The men don’t even exist to him - they’re blurs on the way to the next woman. He’s deciding whether or not he’d sleep with every woman that he sees. PETER (V.O.) Yes. (NEXT) No. (NEXT) Yes, but don’t have a shot. Maybe when I was in college. If she was drunk and trying to get back at her boyfriend who cheated on her. (NEXT, SHE’S IN HER 50s) Yes. But for how long? Five more years? I wonder what the oldest woman I’d have sex with is. When I’m sixty, will sixty year old women look good to me, or are they just my only option? Peter spots a gorgeous woman with huge breasts, cleavage showing.

  • After the Planes
    AFTER THE PLANES Timothy Boswell Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Miroslav Penkov, Major Professor Barbara Rodman, Committee Member John Tait, Committee Member David Holdeman, Chair of the Department of English James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Boswell, Timothy. After the Planes. Doctor of Philosophy (English), May 2012, 343 pp., bibliography, 21 titles. The dissertation consists of a critical preface and a novel. The preface analyzes what it terms “polyvocal” novels, or novels employing multiple points of view, as well as “layered storytelling,” or layers of textuality within novels, such as stories within stories. Specifically, the first part of the preface discusses polyvocality in twenty-first century American novels, while the second part explores layered storytelling in novels responding to World War II or the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The preface analyzes the advantages and difficulties connected to these techniques, as well as their aptitude for reflecting the fractured, disconnected, and subjective nature of the narratives we construct to interpret traumatic experiences. It also acknowledges the necessity—despite its inherent limitations—of using language to engage with this fragmentation and cope with its challenges. The preface uses numerous novels as examples and case studies, and it also explores these concepts and techniques in relation to the process of writing the novel After the Planes. After the Planes depicts multiple generations of a family who utilize storytelling as a means to work through grief, hurt, misunderstanding, and loss—whether from interpersonal conflicts or from war. Against her father’s wishes, a young woman moves in with her nearly- unknown grandfather, struggling to understand the rifts in her family and how they have shaped her own identity.
