  1. I won't even get started on how much I adore her, too. Hands down. This is one of my favorite pictures of Audrey:
  2. You're right about this game, it's out there already. I remember reading it when I first came here. It's an old thread, probably that's the reason of the confusion. http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/438-lana-del-creys-says/
  3. David Lynch About John Mayer, there's another take of his version that is even better (imo) and longer than that one. If anyone needs it just PM me. I want Gwen Stefani as a stan
  4. If you wanna get high with her, she's in the back doing crack, drinkin' p-p-pepsi
  5. Geez, just found this while I was looking for other pictures of lana's feet I never really paid attention to that ring before, I wanted to see if she uses it all the time. They even analyse Chuck, too: Tarantino (user) - ranked (beautiful feet) Wonderful feet!!!!! Double shot!!!!!!! But her feet are superior... just gorgeous.. :airplease:
  6. She looks so gorgeous in the second picture Anyway, I'm sticking with the alien theory. Brilliant.
  7. "It’s the end of a sunny October day in Los Angeles, the sun is down with the blink of an eye. In a car that’s racing towards Hollywood hills, 3 young girls sitting tightly next to each other in the back, are talking about family and love stories; laughing about their long day. The 2 other girls are English, they follow her everywhere, work for her – one of them is in charge of her hair, the other of her make up, both of them have been by her side since the very beginning and the singer doesn’t do any shooting without them. Lana is a young faithful woman." Trust no one (Thanks to Myriam for this topic: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/1398-lana-del-rey-for-obsession-magazine/)
  8. Did I hear "ryan was right, she's turned into a little bitch" at the end?
  9. I think she's talking to K that he doesn't need to be afraid, feel ashamed or guilty of her and her suicide attempt, since it was because of him and her wish to see him again. Even though you really miss someone you love, I doubt you want the person to commit suicide. That's why he would be kinda scared. Mike would make sense, since he apparently is someone she could lead a normal and right life with. Also, considering Heavy Hitter. "I heard a man screaming lights, camera, action. I can't remember what happened. I overdose, you throw me over your shoulder. I was dying, you were screaming". But that could be something from her love for cinema or something. Hmm. I would appreciate it if Barrie was the person she wants to do that. They seem happy together.
  10. You're very welcome! Even though it's not the newest one, I felt I had to share because it was a very nice little interview! And besides, we like anything coming from Lana, so why not It's a pleasure! Nice to know that, thank you! :love:
  11. She looks so amazing and spontaneous, love it. Can't wait to see the rest
  12. I'm glad you enjoyed! As I said it's a pleasure to share with you guys! :love: Oh God, I didn't watch that but I get what you mean! Indeed It's from the August/2012 edition of the magazine GLOSS, Adele was the cover. Por nada!
  13. Yep, totally. Just like that time she said to the paparazzi "I freak the fuck out" when he asked "how do you mentally prepare for a show?" I remember that interview too, when she said about her first performance ever. Saying that if people laughed at her that time she would never go back to the stage again, like wow. It felt serious. Didn't know that about DiCaprio! It's crazy, because of the fact he's an actor and actors are told all the time to be free of inhibitions and lose their introversion. Proud of him, full of talent and dealing with his own "problems" in a successful way.
  14. you're welcome, it's a pleasure to share with you guys :yes: so cute! I want her to remember how many people like her actually, whenever she starts to get nervous! just as she said here: "But I'm very happy with my album and even more to know the amount of people that like my songs. I guess I should think about that and don't worry about nothing else."
  15. You read my thoughts with that emoticon, when I saw that part I totally thought about her self video for National Anthem lol
  16. I know, right? "Piriguete da periferia" was even worse :badbitch:
  17. Invented beauty Decadent Hollywood star, ingenue little posh or hoochie from the periphery, all of that fits in the persona Lana Del Rey created for herself. – By Harold Von Kursk One video made with a collage of images on Youtube made her a sensation of the alternative music. And a super critized performance on TV turned her into an overnight pop star. If you think the path that Lana Del Rey, 26 years old, made until she came to the top was a little bit weird, you're very right – her universe is very strange, indeed. In the beginning of 2011, Lana was Lizzy Grant, a singer with bleached blonde hair (and lips way thinner) who circulated around the record labels seeking a contract. Until that, in june of that year she put on internet the ballad Video Games, along with nostalgic images she chose by herself. With her new name, lips and trendy retro look, she caught the attention of bloggers and journalists and her course started to change. Everything almost went down the drain in January, when her performance on the TV show Saturday Night Live, from NBC network, was crushed down by the critic. But the effect was the opposite: 15 days after, her album Born to Die, a collection of glamorous and dark songs, came to the stores and went right to the first place in charts of seven countries. She just released her 6th video from her album, Summertime Sadness (Lana now makes superproduced videos). And she is the face of the new campaign of H&M. Full of tricks or talented? GLOSS saw one of her shows in New York, in June and assures: both things. Fake, fragile, beautiful, bold, modern – she is all of that. Just not a conventional singer. GLOSS: You became a celebrity overnight. How do you see this so immediate success? LDR: I'm surprised! I didn't expect this, specially after being ignored for 6 years. I couldn't get my songs to be played and I had a lot of difficulty to settle shows. Everybody was complaining that my songs were too long and dark and that it would be impossible to commercialize them. They said that the video of Video Games was weird and scary [laughs]. It's very funny that now I have a contract [with Universal Music] and a team working with me. GLOSS: You moved from Connecticut to New York at age 18 and went to study at Fordham University. How the experience influenced your music? LDR: Being in New York was a very lonely experience, but also very stimulating in many ways. I met weird people, others wonderful and some not very nice. All of that enriched my music and what I wanted to say. I had to struggle to have my rent's money and to be able to afford others expenses. I know this sounds kinda cliché but that is what happened. GLOSS: Do you still feel alone nowadays? LDR: No, I feel better. I believe that, when someone finally has a success and people feel touched by your music, the sensation of satisfaction appears. But some of my songs still talk about the disappointment of finding an incredible person and things not working out. Being alone and not feeling deeply connected to no one isn't something easy to deal with. GLOSS: By your lyrics, it seems that you lived some complicated break-ups. LDR: It's hard to be with someone, waiting for something pretty to be born and then, suddenly, everything going wrong. I was with a person who I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. We were clean and sober, and I needed someone who would respect that. But it didn't work out. When I thought I've had found someone who could take care of me and that I could take care too, I saw everything fall apart. GLOSS: Are you shy? LDR: I'm very introverted. I don't feel easily comfortable with people when I meet them and I get nervous when I start to talk. GLOSS: Is that a problem when you sing live? LDR: I think my shyness and my nervousness already became visible in some of my performances. I'm still learning how to deal with that. I keep telling myself to relax on stage, try to feel the music and not to think in what is around me. GLOSS: Why do you think that, in a time of Lady Gaga and so many overstyled artists, people are critizing you so much for inventing a certain image for yourself? LDR: Thanks for the observation! [Laughs.] I don't think I put a big effort on creating an image besides using dresses rather than exotic costumes. Sometimes the clothes are kinda retro, what matches my music and videos. And it's just that. I think my voice and and lyrics are provocative. But I don't get the rage level of some critics about me. GLOSS: The music video for Video Games was the great responsible for the turning point in your career. Did you expect the material would have the impact it did? LDR: I thought the images would catch attention and help me to have more followers on the internet. And that maybe it would be good when seeking a contract with some record label. I never thought it would be so watched [the video has today more than 60 millions of views]. I dedicated myself a lot to the material and it gave me a great creative satisfaction. So, I'm proud of people liking it so much. GLOSS: Many people invented thousand of theories to interpret what the images of the video are meant to say... LDR: The truth is that I had no money to make a video, then I started to make experiences with the images. I think it increased the impact of the music, but when I see the music video nowadays I feel like changing a lot of things, specially the images of myself. Now that I have a contract with a record label and money to produce, I'm very happy for not having to make my self videos. I participate in the process, but I love the fact of being able to work with real professionals. I prefer to concentrate in the songs. GLOSS: Why is "Born to Die" the title of the album? LDR: In childhood, I kind of freaked out when I realized that my mom, my dad and everybody I knew would die someday. I think that, somehow, this philosophical crisis stayed with me and reappeared in the time I had to give a title to the album. GLOSS: In some interviews, you said that music isn't the most important thing in your life. Is that true? LDR: I like music and composing, it's just that it's not the fundamental point for me. I have interest in many things and I don't see my life only spinning around music, although I'm super-involved with that at the moment. But I'm very happy with my album and even more to know the amount of people that like my songs. I guess I should think about that and don't worry about nothing else. I would like people to think about me as a good person. Maybe it's ingenuity of me saying that, but that's what I am. Building Lana Where the singer went to find inspiration to create her cool visual VERONICA LAKE From the femme fatale from the 40's, Lana took the attitude and the hair BRIGITTE BARDOT The thick and slightly open lips are the mark of the french actress AUDREY HEPBURN Lana adores eyes well contoured with black eyeliner PRISCILLA PRESLEY Every now and then, Lana appears with the hairstyle that Elvis's ex used in the sixties MORTICIA ADDAMS One more embellishment of a femme fatale: huge nails! KANYE WEST Necklaces, rings and sneakers complete the visual
  18. I think it's about Jimmy too, even more because of the relation between the lyrics of Brite Lites and Yayo. I mean, Yayo mentions the Vegas engagement, or just her wish to elope – who knows. Then, in Brite Lites, "I'm taking off my wedding ring"
  19. Makes a lot of sense, if you consider lyrically "I know I go go dance, but I do it for kicks" and "I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings"
  20. When a thought of K suddenly comes in... poor bby She's still thinking of him now and then, what he would say about everything that is happening to her lately, how he would caress her in the dark moments of her famous life nowadays, the way they used to be together, losing him... It's kind of the same expression she does after performing Without You in Amoeba music store. Singing "can you picture it, babe, the life we could've lived?" must strike her down. Talking about that, I think the lyrics "Summertime is nice and hot/And my life is sweet like vanilla is/Gold and silver line my heart" mean that her life is nice now with the fame and what it can bring to someone like her. Then, "But burned into my brain all these stolen images" implies that even with all of that happening to her, the memories of them (cops) taking him away from her, "stealing" him and the clips of the life they would've had together won't stop popping out in her head. And that's probably what's happening with her before these expressions that she can't help. About this I'm really sure: it's the look of someone who's heartbroken.

    I think the whole concept she puts into her songs could possibly be from the movie Cool World. It has this cartoonist going inside the world he created himself - along with many others creations, there's Holli. I even think her name is inspired by Hollywood, for all of what she is: all caught up in the fame game, as Lana would say. She's like a blonde Jessica Rabbit, not as famous though. She drinks a lot, she smokes her cigarettes, she can be sweet and sexy at the same time (just like the voices and faces Lana does). Holli is like a grown-up Lolita that knows what she can do to get some coins. That, in the case, being her goal to become a real person and have fun probably singing and having fun with men (as shown in the movie, it's the first thing she does when she steps in the real world). She tries to kill anyone who tries to stop her little game. Such a femme fatale. I really think Lana could be into that movie, but it's just what I think about listening to the songs. Also, here's a gif of Holli showing her illegal moves: And then: I even think her face reminds me blonde lizzy a little bit. But then again, it's just a thought I had.
