  1. This was the friend!!!!!! What the fuck!!!!!!!! Haha. This was the friend Lana was having lunch with. This is the same Cabana Cafe seats & plants in the background. And the slightly crimped hair. I am so glad I have a picture now of what she looked like this day so I'll never forget. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGX0yJBHiMt/?taken-by=mediumfleur I can't add photos from my iPad so here's the link. Lana posted about her on both accounts.
  2. Idk I was 25 feet away so I couldn't see. I just got to occasionally glance at her beautiful profile. Lemonade was $10 tho. Da fuq???
  3. She's met countless crazed fans Maybe me being super chill was unexpected We'll never know
  4. It's weird-- She prefaced the conversation by saying "I'm not really taking pictures today" despite having taken one a few minutes prior with her friend (different situation, I am aware) Whereas I told her it had been a dream to meet her and that I was a big fan Just overall bizarre lmao the no photos thing was totally fine with me, I respect her wishes and that's why I had not taken any creeper pics prior or after, either.
  5. XO Literally, I did nothing abnormal; I wasn't even mad she didn't want to take a photo. I literally did not even VOCALIZE my desire for a photo, I just wrote it on the polaroid (which was pretty cute in my opinion). I was content just talking to her for a moment. I didn't even take any creeper photos! What the fuck! Calling me a stalker, lmao, fuck off. Also, to reiterate, I waited until she was done with her entire lunch and I met her AS she was leaving. SHE did not mind us talking to her, the cabana cafe manager had an issue. (The workers insinuated that we could go up to her if we wanted, just that they wouldn't facilitate any interaction).
  6. I met with her after she had lunch, as she was leaving. I don't know what it's like to be the celebrity, just the fan. I know she isn't expected nor obliged to meet anyone--and the fact she did stop and brush away the hotel management was generous of her to do, when she really didn't have to do anything besides just respond with hello. As a fan, I was obviously a bit disappointed because I expected meeting her to be like magic; it was, but different. I am of course happy I did get to meet her, in fucking LA no less, RANDOMLY. I just hadn't imagined it would go down this way, and taking a photo or signing something would have taken a few seconds longer in my mind. I feel like this scenario with me replaced with anyone else would draw the same excitement/disappointment duality. I wasn't pushy and I wasn't demanding or crazy so I'm glad it was chill and it happened nonetheless. "It must be bizarre to have someone approaching you, knowing so many things about you, loving you so much, but you have no idea who that person his and you cannot really reciprocate" True.
  7. Her friend seemed cool with it, but yeah I totally acknowledge that she could have just ignored us and left after saying hello. It is true she was nice, and overall it was unexpected, random, and it cost me nothing. I am glad we met, but obviously wish she had been different. But it was surreal, good&bad.
  8. I met Lana randomly, at the Beverly Hills Hotel Cabana Cafe on Thursday May 12. I was in LA for a few concerts for my favorite singer, Lights, and it turned into a vacation. On that Thursday, May 12th, my friends and I had breakfast at the Beverly Hills Hotel Fountain Coffee Room. It was reaalll nice. Then I asked the front desk if someone could give us a tour of the hotel, so we could take pictures by the most scenic spots. Since I'm an architecture student, I just mention that and they happily show us the architectural highlights. We saw the Frank Sinatra suite, which is about $15,000 a night and I saw a bag of weed on the table inside...it was beautiful. I said out loud, I bet Lana would love this room. We went down by the poolside and I took some polaroids and photos and we hung out for a minute just to enjoy. & Lana Del Rey walks past us and I immediately recognize her and say "Lana!" and my legs were just shaking. My friend Rachel did not even notice until a few seconds later (and she didn't hear me say Lana, so either Lana ignored me or she didn't hear me) and I was just SHOOK. I could not believe that this is where I would meet Lana. Our tour guide told us he was responsible for us so that it would be inappropriate for me to go talk to her under his supervision, but he left us a couple minutes later and told us we could do whatever...haha. We sat at a table 20 feet from LDR, drinking lemonade and eating chips and salsa. I didn't take any creeper photos because I thought that would be weird and she was just having lunch with her friend. On the polaroid I took of the pool and cabanas, I wrote "swimming pool glimmering darling... We'd love to take a polaroid with you" and asked the waitress to pass it off to which she said no, they can't do that. So we waited for Lana to finish her lunch, and then she took a picture with her friend. When Lana got up, so did we, and as she walked towards us, I gave her the polaroid and said it had been a dream to always meet her. She looked so beautiful and so sweet. The manager (restaurant manager) then came and interrupted and said he was responsible for her and that he needed to protect her and she kept brushing him off. The first thing she said to us was "I'm not really taking pictures today." That was kind of weird because she had just taken one with her friend. This other girl and her mom tried to take a picture of her and the manager got in front of the camera, and Lana said no pictures again. She asked me if I wanted her to keep the polaroid still and I said um yeah it's for you lol. She hugged me and my two friends, as well as this other girl and asked us where we were from, where we had seen her... So she showed some sort of interest but she didn't really engage in any conversation, at all. Like "Where are you from?" "Chicago" "Oh cool" Since we couldn't take any pictures with her, I showed her a portrait I had drawn of her way back, and her friend said I was very talented and I don't know if Lana really said anything besides that it looked good. We hugged her again and then she asked us "Are you leaving?" when we were already on the stairs and on our way out.. haha A few minutes later she passed us in the hotel hallway and said "How are you?" and kept walking without stopping. Overall it was kinda bizarre and I have no pictures to show for this encounter, but hey, I met Lana Del Rey in LA. This experience was so authentic and strange I loved it tbh. I am glad I got to meet her, and hug her twice, it was surreal. She looked beautiful, with her chipped tooth and she smelled so sweet.

    Lights

    If she drew a stick figure on a piece of paper, crumpled it up & threw it in the trash, I'd take it out, flatten it, and frame it.

    Lights

    It's also in reverse which means she had to lip sync BACKWARDS. ARTISTS CAN'T EVEN LIP SYNC FORWARD. How the fuck!

    Lights

    CHECK THIS SHIT OUT YA'LL Lights is honestly so incredible. I place her as most important to me, even above Lana. I think she is a talented lyricist, her voice puts me in a happy place, and she loves her fans. Lana is a bit more distant but that's due to her being on a whole different caliber. But Lights is forever my favorite.

    The 1975

    If I Believe You Somebody Else My faves and the only ones I have listened to lol
  19. fessle

    Rihanna

    Ok so Work is fire. And Higher is also fire. I'm not even a Rihanna fan, but you can't deny a good song.
  20. I just don't get why she would need to stalk Lana's house if she has met Lana so many times and seen her perform as well... I haven't met Lana though I've tried a lot, but I'd never go camp outside her house. She needs a therapist, not LDR.
  21. So My family and I just went on vacation. My grandma is a big fan of Lana. We always listen to Lana together on the plane. She heard Honeymoon in its entirety for the first time. She LOVED it. Her fave was Religion (I hope she didn't understand what Lana was saying) and she also loves God Knows I Tried. Her other favorites include Honeymoon and Salvatore. So clearly this album was a hit. She also had me skip Florida Kilos to go back to songs from Honeymoon.
  22. I knew the restaurant came last haha. Why did the restaurant use his mural for inspiration for their image? So random.
