Mileena

every artist goes through image reinventions and all that, doesnt mean they're "fake''. I don't doubt that she had alcohol problems or lived in a trailerpark (there r pics) since she bases so much of her music on these things. exaggerations, sure. Fake, not really.

I think parts are fabricated and other parts are honest. Like all good story tellers, she draws from experience and creates something that she can connect to on a personal level but isn't 100% fact. I don't take any issue with it tbh, I'm here 4 the ride 

doesn't really look like lana imo but it would be cool if it was her 

Very early in her Tumblr she posted that it's "Skin"
 
@ welcome to full-time fangirling

right, here goes.
 
i really, really love her now. i wasn't so sure at first admittedly, because i only heard royals and when she said stuff about lana i was not amused. but then shortly after pure heroine was released i decided to give her another try. the whole album is great, i love listening to the whole thing (something i NEVER do with albums). there's not one track i dislike, and i love her song writing and the quite stripped down production.
 
so anyway, i stalked her loads, followed her on tumblr, watched some interviews, found out some weird facts - and i also really like her as a person. i applaud her for sharing her opinions, even though they're not always popular. and i've also gotta say that she seems really down to earth, like her tumblr is just fabby and 'the world according to lorde' on youtube is so funny. 
 
don't kill me for saying this, but her voice reminds me a tiny bit of ellie goulding (especially on 'ribs' and 'a world alone'), which i really like! 
 
my favourites on pure heroine are 400 lux, buzzcut season (the way she says hyper-real!!!!), team and a world alone, but i love every single song! 
 
i love the way she is rather self deprecating too, she's very funny and i know she'll have good success. now i can't wait till she gets her booty over to the uk on a tour, i've heard her voice live, i love it. 
 
*most importantly, we have the same fave grimes song, both our mums are poets and we both love some oj

i don't think much of lorde, not because of her age (i'm 15 as most of you know), but because her music just doesn't appeal to me in general. i think what she's forgetting is that, sometimes women like to play a submissive role sometimes, and there really is no harm in that, as long as she is consenting. lana is not here to be a role model, she wants to create art, not influence 13 year old girls. i think lorde is just trying to be somewhat controversial, but it's silly. i'm a feminist but i see nothing wrong with lana wanting to be dominated in a relationship, that's her thing, and it's not for anyone else (let alone some tumblr teenager) to say that lana is unhealthy for young girls.
 
sorry to waffle on, but it's annoying, lana has never tried to be a role model, she's not said anything of the sort, so what is lorde even on about? 

 
absolutely! i wear short skirts because i feel comfortable in them. they're not an invitation for men to wolf whistle at me or to rape me. 

i really hate how thirsty woodkid and jaime and bradley and shaun are and how they name drop lana every opportunity they can get. YAWN.   

Saw this on the Music Essentials he made for hypetrak, thought it was interesting: "My Zoom - I always have it with me. Whatever happens and where ever I am. Sometimes, I hear sounds that I want to record. It's full of things. The memory card is huge because I have sounds from 2007. I have rehearsals of Lana Del Rey and I singing together. Hopefully it will come out someday."
 
 
You can read the rest of his Music Essentials here.

Yeah haha! I am getting into Lorde now, but Lana really is something special. I've never heard anything like her before, I can't compare her to anyone because there really is no one like her. 

"My team of angels at the birth. Kyle, Lana best doc ever Dr. Randy Harris."

but imagine getting ready to go to bed with that guy, then you suddenly see that

& Lana took the cake for me also, haha. Im actually always checking for more often than Ellie, even though i like Ellie's music as well

i totally agree with you! there hasn't been any other artists who have came out in the past couple of years that i've actually took an interest in at all. to me, lana kind of gave me more hope in the music industry - i was a massive ellie goulding fan before but lana kind of blew her out of the water haha. 

Lana Del Rey - The most awkward walker ever
 
Oh lana what are you doing lol

currently imagining myself turning the corner of the cat food aisle and running into the grant family 
 

Preparing for the exodus of fans when she never releases Tropico

Within the last few years that new artists have continued to appear on the music scene, whether it was in hip hop, r&b, pop, dance, electronic, and etc, i can honestly say Lana Del Rey has left the most lasting impression on me. To the point where pushed me to go from only listening to one song on repeat from her, to an entire album. & Just getting caught up in the reality of the environment and atmosphere she creates. Which in turns serves as inspiration. & To me, something like this is rare. Because, they're aren't too many artists in this newer generation, like the likes of Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, & few others who do that for me. The others, who've been around like Jay Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, T.I., OutKast, Michael Jackson, &  too many other acts to name who were big throughout the late 90s & 2000s. Who will always remain my foundation musically. & Lana's about the newest to be added to that fold of talent.

I found a bunch of old Lake Placid News (LPN), Adirondack Daily Express (ADE), Plattsburgh Press-Rebulican (PPR) articles archived as black and white PDF scans that mention Lizzy, some with photos of her:
 
 
 
Here's a rundown of the rest of the references:
 
Involvement in Sports
Skiing. "Lately, the students of St. Agnes School have accomplished a lot out of school. Many SAS students particpated recently in some exciting ski races: NYSEF World Cup race for JV (ages 7-10). Placings are as follows... Elizabeth Grant 20th". January 25, 1995 LPN Sports page box score showing her run time and placing ("8. Elizabeth Grant   44.33") in the Ed Damp Junior V World Cup. March 12, 1996 PPR
"The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) held its annual family race and picnic for participants in the.series last Saturday, at which time the final standings were released... Elizabeth Grant (259)... Completed the top 10." March 23, 1996 ADE
Skating. "The following scholarships have been awarded by the Skating Club of Lake Placid to the skaters named below... $50 scholarships for ice or lessons... Elizabeth Grant." March 27, 1997 ADE Softball. She played center fielder for her middle school team. "Elizabeth grant [sic] OF-C". April 10, 1998 LPN Involvement in Other Extra-curricular Activities
Choir. "The Lake Placid High School (LPHS) concert started off with the chorus singing 'Psallite'. They song many traditional Christmas Carols [sic]. The chorus personnel are... Elizabeth Grant". March 7, 2000 LPN "After the Women's Ensemble it was the high school chorus' time to shine... Medley from 'Les Miserables' had many soloists, such as... Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN
What song do you think she sang?
Performed in a variety show (as well as Chuck and Charlie). June 23, 2000 LPN Secretary of the high school Key Club. "On Tuesday May 9, the Key Club members welcomed new leadership... Congratulations also go to the new secretary. Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN Staff of the Blue Times Bomber, the school newspaper which appears to have been an insert in the Lake Placid News. January 28, 2000  March 17, 2000 LPN  June 23, 2000 LPN Confirmation. "On Sunday afternoon. May 21, at 4:30 p.m.. Bishop Gerald Barbarito, bishop of Ogdensburg, came to Lake Placid and confirmed more than 50 people from area Roman Catholic churches, including St Agnes... It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony, with the church's altars and pillars decked in red, the bishop in his red chasuble (robe), wearing his miter on his head and holding his staff in hand. On the altar, dozens of red roses arranged in large vases added to the festive atmosphere. The 17 Lake Placid young people, all dressed in white robes, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of confirmation included... Elizabeth Grant". May 26, 2000 LPN Honor Roll
 
There are also many articles that list her on the honor roll:
Grade 7, High Honors. January 9, 1998 LPN  February 13, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 ADE  March 30, 1998 PPR  May 29, 1998 ADE  June 9, 1998 ADE  June 19, 1998 LPN  July 31, 1998 PPR Grade 8, Honors. March 5, 1999 LPN  March 8, 1999 ADE  March 12, 1999 LPN  May 7, 1999 LPN Grade 8, High Honors. June 18, 1999 LPN  July 20, 1999  July 23, 1999 LPN Grade 9, Honors. December 24, 1999 LPN  December 31, 1999 LPN  January 28, 2000 LPN This establishes pretty well that she started 9th grade in the fall of 1999. Unless you skip a grade, kids are 14 or 15 when they begin 9th grade (or at least turn 14 shortly after it begins). If Lizzy was really born in 1986 as she claims, she would have just turned 13 the summer before.   
 
Family Members
 
There's also a lot of articles mentioning other members of her family. I didn't spend a ton of time looking at those, but they appear to be mostly about her parents' efforts to organize opposition to a development project (Lake Placid does really remind me of Twin Peaks sometimes) for classic NIMBY reasons, her dad's real estate listings, and Chuck and Charlie's sports exploits (including a huge fish she caught).
 
However, this article describes in greater detail her dad's furniture company mentioned in that Domain Name Journal profile on him and this article gives more background on her family's ownership of "God Bless America" singer Kate Smith's home-- which Lizzy mentioned in this article and was the inspiration for the original title of AKA-- and their attempts to sell it at a large profit rather than an affordable price for the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation who wanted to turn it into a museum.
 
Note: Please let me know if any of my links appear wrong. That's a lot of links to copy and paste!
