Name: Dua Lipa.
Age: 29 years old.
Are you talking about Dua Lipa, the British-Albanian singer who has won seven British Awards and three Grammy Awards and was named to Time magazine's list of “The 100 Most Important People in the World” this year? Yes, that Dua Lipa, not some less famous Dua Lipa.
“One kiss and you'll fall in love with me, the possibilities are endless…” But now I might rephrase it like this: One lick and it's all done…
Sorry? She's branching out.
Dog training? Painting and decorating on a budget? No, ice cream.
Amazing. What ice creams? Dairy ice cream, non-dairy ice cream, ice cream cones, ice cream desserts, ice cream cakes, ice cream drinks, and milkshakes and yogurts. She has applied for a license to protect her brand name for marketing all these. She is waiting for approval from the government's Intellectual Property Office.
Will there be a Dua Lipa Lollipop release? I certainly hope so.
And surely she should collaborate with Vanilla Ice? Ice, ice, baby. Wrong generation, really. But interestingly, she told Radio 1's Greg James show that she likes to “order vanilla ice cream and put olive oil and sea salt on it.”
So don't expect any more traditional ice cream flavours from Dua's frozen dessert range – details are still being kept under wraps, but she did reveal to James that she's not a fan of chocolate ice cream.
Is she the first pop star to make an ice cream? Ben & Jerry's has created flavors inspired by musicians before, most notably Cherry Garcia and Phish Food, and once partnered with the Elton John AIDS Foundation for flavors including Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and Butter Brickle.
What was it called? Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road.
Absolutely. Midge Ure would love it. Oh, you mean Ultravox? What's up with that, Grampa?
“This means nothing to me, oh…Viennetta.”Perhaps older readers of Path Notes have a bit of an idea of what you're talking about.Back to Dua Lipa.
Is this her first venture into expanding? She already has a lifestyle and culture publishing venture called Service95.
What is it? It's a newsletter that features messages from Lipa and guest contributions on a variety of topics including culture, style, recommendations, and more. She also has a podcast.
Let's be honest, everyone does. Ice cream is the next natural step on the road to world domination. She's included in The Sunday Times Richest People of 2024 list, with an estimated net worth of £90 million.
Say, “I'd like some seaweed and chili gelato in a cone, please.”
Don't say, “And can I get some flakes?”
