That's a good question.

SO gorgeous! the makeup is so flattering.

what a great exchange thanks for sharing, monicker!
i love how he describes her in a way i hadn't thought of before, and what he says at the end about allowing yourself to be unpolished because capturing an idea that might slip away at any moment is what gives it its immediacy, the feeling of it being alive, as opposed to the overproduction that rids it of any "imperfection" and makes it less exciting and "real".

Don’t know if this is exactly thread worthy and how much discussion it can really spur, but i thought it was worth sharing. Maybe we can just use this thread to collect the more interesting (positive!) opinions on Lana from non-celebrities from unlikely places? God, that’s a mouthful (i kind of feel like LDR crusader Love Lana Like Life right now). 
 
Anyway, i’m always interested in seeing how things that i’m really into are evaluated by those from other corners of the universe. I just think it’s fascinating to get the perspective of people who aren’t so on the inside like us obsessed freaks. I think it’s easy sometimes to forget about the more "casual" listener’s views. The subject of Lana in particular is of interest to me in this context because it still puzzles me how she seems to have totally eluded a less pop-culture-oriented audience. So when i see someone who's coming from another part of the music world and they “get” it, the geek in me gets excited. 
 
Anyway, the point to all of this is that i was on the Beach Boys messageboard when, to my delight, i see the name Lana Del Rey suddenly pop up. What was interesting to me was to see BTD’s production described in a way i’ve never heard before. I'll use spoilers because this is getting long. 
 
 
 

Like, ever.

I really love this one so so much! It's a really sweet Lolita-in-paradise kind of thing, visually stunning.

The Illuminati DO exist, just not in the context you're thinking of. Lana isn't famous enough, or rich enough to be even considered by the 'Illuminati' (that you're thinking of) I'm getting tired of EVERY new artist or existing artist be connected with this 'illuminati' In conclusion, NO she isn't in the Illuminati, unless she's joined the freemasons and we just haven't heard about it.

yeah, great lyrics. 

No more from that shoot, please.

I really go out of my way to make sure people know I dislike her now since I used to like her 
But really I cant stand to listen to her music anymore, there is nothing in it to me, its just blah blah blah with no substance. And I dont like her personality and everything she stands for

Hey, Lolita, hey!

This photo shoot is perfect.

I don't think making a thread about it is going to make the matter any better.
