Lily Allen Cashes In on the Sock Fetish Economy

Lily Allen has found a new revenue stream — and it runs through her sock drawer.

The British singer says her OnlyFans subscribers are most often after photos of her feet, usually in socks — some clean, some dirty — or the chance to pick her toenail color.

Allen launched her account last year after discovering others online were already making money from images of her feet. She decided she might as well collect the cash herself.

In a new interview with Interview magazine, she broke down the requests. “They want dirty soles, white socks, schoolgirl socks, ankle socks, some clean, some dirty,” she told editor Mel Ottenberg. “White socks in Mary Jane shoes. Stepping in food. Toe spreading, because that’s what happens when you’re climaxing.”

Her fans, she added, are just as interested in the footwear as the feet. “Some people pay for the nails, too,” she said. “They get to choose the color — white, dark red, bright red. I’d never do green or blue.”

Allen, whose new album West End Girl is out now, said she ignores the more extreme requests. “I tend to just move on,” she said.

The pop provocateur may have once sung about London life, but these days, the city’s newest side hustle is under her heels — and she’s the one cashing the check.
