    i didn't even say names queen 💅

     

    You used examples from my post to make the very strange claim that people sharing their personal stories are trying to essentially out-poor each other and then proceeded discredit them. To even assume that anyone was sharing those things because they felt offended and defensive is weird. I am a nobody from Missouri. Lana's post didn't have me frantic trying to prove myself to LB members. Go outside.

    The fight isn't even about Lana anymore... apparently it has become a fight about who is poorer and suffered the most. It's strange to say the least that some individuals feel so offended and come out of their holes when some of their privileges are pointed out

     

    I loved some of the arguments given here such as: "my family took trips to Europe, lived in a first world country, paid me a private school... but we were poor i swear!!!!"

    You have no idea how sickening it is to be truly poor

     

    I assume you're referencing my post but you literally have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Discuss and argue about Lana all you want, but please, do leave me and MY story out of it. Now I'm being accused of not being "truly poor" when my family is still living in poverty and I have to send them money just to buy milk sometimes. At no point was I trying to PROVE how poor I was because I don't need to? The anecdotes I shared were to point out that poor people can mismanage money and things aren't always what they seem. But thanks for proving my point tho. Truly. Using what you think you know to discredit someone's life. Exactly why Lana is frustrated.

    She said they didn't have any money. Rob blew all their savings on domain names after the dotcom bubble and everyone thought he was insane for it.

     

    My dad took us out on boats and we were pretty poor and classified as just under middle class. 

     

    We had a student exchange and we had to severely budget to afford the plane ticket.

     

    My parents managed to scrounge enough money together for karate lessons for a few years.

     

    It doesn't cost any money to try out for modeling. 

     

    I don't think you fully know what it was like in the late 80s and 90s. 

     

     

    This!! People are so fixated on the domain names but If people took the time to actually read the "sources" they keep posting, they would see from the interview with Rob that domain names were way more expensive than they are now and along with the real estate, he was making insanely huge investments with no promise that they would pay off. It's very possible that her parents were middle class and could have been comfortable under different circumstances, but had no assets and had all of their money tied up in these insane investments (probably why there's so much emphasis on the arguments). It's not hard to believe at all that he had a decent job in the city, moved to Lake Placid (which wasn't the cushy place it is now, another moot point people are trying to make), blew all of their money on investments and lived below their means because of that, and started reaping the benefits after Lana was at Kent (meaning she never saw a dime). 

     

    Also I just want to point out that at my parents poorest, they were bankrupt, getting food from soup kitchens, and almost lost the house multiple times. But still paid for me to go on a school trip to Europe and sent me to a VERY expensive private university in NYC. I had scholarships and financial aid, but that's exactly my point. It's not impossible. And also maybe speaks to how even poor people handle their money and use what little of it they have.

     

    I don't think the things people are posting to prove Lana is lying hold any real weight. There's way more nuance to this than people want to act like there is. As far as her saying her parents didn't know she was singing until SNL, I think she meant to the extent that she was. Knowing your daughter as Lizzy Grant performing in bars is different than knowing about publishing deals and the Lana Del Rey persona from the BTD era. Idk why her nose is being brought up, but girly clearly got her nose and lips done with that $10k advance, and being dishonest about plastic surgery (ESPECIALLY in 2012) is much different than fabricating your entire childhood and upbringing. 

     

    I feel like there's no way any real fan would claim the trailer park era was for funsies (not even gonna elaborate because iykyk) and I find it so strange that she took the time to make that video because she was so frustrated about being misunderstood, and her own "fans" are straight up calling her a liar and are going to weirdo lengths to try and prove it.

    yeah and usually even when you're alone you can always ask other group or other person queueing alone to hold your spot for a few hours

     

    Yeah! Every time I've camped out it's been by myself and the people around you will hold your spot for as long as you need. I've left lines for hours at a time and had no issues bc the line is established basically once there's someone behind you that saw you in that spot. As long as no one is blatantly cutting and being disrespectful, you'll generally have a better experience in any concert line if you don't worry about what other people are doing.

    I know i probably sound like a whiny brat but I just feel defeated right now. I drained my bank account, even had friends donate towards me coming and being in pit bc they know how much it means to me, missed my greyhound bus to get here, had to pay an Uber driver $400 under the table to drive me 6 hours to get here. like all of this and for what lol. To probably be at the very back of the pit even tho im about to go line up at 10am. Idk. I know it’s gonna be amazing no matter what, but I hope I can get good close up footage for my friends to see. After they helped me get here it feels like im letting them down if I don’t get it. I just hate that this is so hard. I don’t understand why that guy is doing that. Like who are you…. You’re not the Lana leader just bc you’re so unhinged that you were first in line because you got there at like 3pm YESTERDAY. 

     

    As someone that's camped out overnight for Lana (and other artists) this is honestly how it usually is minus the physically writing numbers on hands. If they have people waiting in line and holding their spot and they're not just leaving as groups and coming back, what's the issue? Should they also not use the restroom or grab food since they're leaving the line? They showed up early enough, they have friends nice enough to hold their place, it's their spot in line and they can come and go as they please.

    What the fuck's she's taking? Meds or candy? :defeated: also Star Mode...a new song? Reminds me of the delusions of June 21, 2022 with the Stars Aligned shit

     

    Those are definitely meds. Or supplements of some kind.

    Okay, finally going to do the lil storytime!!

    While on our way to Huntsville, my friend and I decided we wanted Italian food once we got there, and we were deciding between Olive Garden and Carrabba’s. We joked that we’d be more likely to run into Lana in Olive Garden, but we decided on Carrabba’s instead since the OG had bad reviews lol. So, we made a reservation.

    Once we got to the hotel, I began unpacking my things and realised I forgot to bring cute shoes to wear to the concert, and the only other shoes I brought wouldn’t have gone with the outfit. So, my friend and I decided we’d make a quick stop into a store somewhere so I could get shoes before we went to dinner. We looked up what was near the Carrabba’s and there was a Dillard’s right next door.

    We’re getting ready to leave the hotel, and just as I’m about to walk out the door, I think to myself that I should bring the charm bracelet I made for her with me just in case.. so I turned around to get it and put it in my purse. Thank god I did. 

    We step into the Dillard’s and we’re looking around as we make our way to the shoes. On the upper level, I thought I saw Lana’s friend Cody from a distance, and my heart immediately dropped to my stomach. I told my friend that if he was here, there was a good chance she would be too. So, our radar was out for her, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much especially since I wasn’t even 100% sure it was him since he was far away. We continue looking around at the cute clothes before making our way to the bottom level where the shoes were. As we’re walking to the discounted shoes - there she was. Right in front of me. Her back was turned, but I knew it was her immediately. Rob was there with her and Annie too. I immediately panic and duck behind the other side of the shoe rack, and my friend and I are in a little huddle trying to figure out what to do. I couldn’t even form a proper sentence while speaking to my friend, my mind was just full of squiggles. I really didn’t want to be rude and bother her while shopping, but I also knew this was a once in a lifetime chance to run into Lana like this. For a moment though, I almost didn’t take it. I told my friend that maybe we should just leave her alone, but eventually she convinced me to go say hi (she’s also a longtime fan of 11 years like me, but wanted me to be the one who approached her first)

    By this time, she’s standing by a table of Gianni Bini shoes watching Annie try on a pair of boots. I start walking up to where they are and I smile and wave, and she looks at me with a big smile and I say to her, “I’m so sorry, I’m so shy, but I just wanted to say hi!” & she motions us to approach her. I don’t even remember what we initially talked about because my mind was just a bunch of squiggles, which at this point were beginning to turn neon and form into fireworks. Looking into her eyes was like looking at an angel’s soul. Lana is even more beautiful in person, which is hard to imagine since she’s already so beautiful from what we see through the screen. I was just so taken by her beauty, I couldn’t even think properly.
    I then remembered I had the bracelet with me, and asked her if I could give her something I was planning to give her at the show tomorrow. She said of course.

    I pulled out the box from my purse, but before I gave it to her I showed her my charm bracelet that I wear pretty much every day that has charms of photos I’ve taken at her concerts I’ve attended over the years. She immediately pulls out her phone and begins recording my wrist, fingering through all of the charms and recalling which locations the photos were taken at. She then calls Annie over to look at my bracelet too, and they were both in awe of it for awhile. I then told her that everyone needs a charm bracelet, so I made her once inspired by Dance Till We Die, because that song is such a reminder that no matter hard life gets to just keep dancing, and that you’re never truly alone. She opens the box and I explained the charms were tied to the opening verse, and she begins singing the song as she looks at all of the charms. She then exclaims “it’s all of my legends!” and then I said “since you’re my living legend, I just had to put myself on the bracelet too, but you can take me off easily with pliers.” and she laughed and said “I would never!” 
    She took it out of the box and tried to put it on but was having trouble doing the clasp herself, so I asked if she’d like me to put it on for her. However, I wasn’t much help because my hands were shaking so bad, and I had broken my right thumb nail a few days before which made handling the clasp more difficult. When I told her my nail was broken, she said, “Ugh! That’s always the worst!” She gets the struggle.

    I then asked if we could take a picture together that I could add to my charm bracelet, and as we took the picture she said, “you look like a little princess!” which was absolutely not true as I had been sleeping in the car shortly before this and hadn’t touched up my makeup before we left the hotel. She had called my friend “baby” during their conversation, so my friend and I bought little matching plushies and named them Princess and Baby in that honour.

    She told me I looked familiar and she knew me from somewhere, and I told her we were Instagram friends. She said “you’re right! What’s your username again?” After I told her xmissdaytona, she exclaimed “Ahh! It IS you! I see you every day!”
    She then chatted with my friend and I for awhile about where we’re from, how we met (when I told her we met from working as actresses on set together, she said “that’s very glamourous!”) and she was telling us some stories about her recent shows as we mentioned we’d be at the show tomorrow. We also chatted with Annie, who is such a sweetheart, and Rob, who we told needs to do his own tour soon! He asked us where we really wanted to visit one day that he should consider for a tour, and we said Greece. He mentioned Lana wanted to go there again.

    After an incredible 10 minutes, we said our goodbyes, and I bought some shoes before heading to Carrabbas. Our visit to Dillard’s was supposed to be a quick in and out so we missed our reservation by a bit, but it was worth it. At that point, I could barely eat as the fireworks were exploding in my mind. While we were sitting at the table, I got a notification that Lana DM’d me a heart emoji on Instagram, which continued to extend my excitement that I was still on her mind.

    On our way back to the hotel, I shuffled my Lana music for us to listen to in celebration and “My Best Days” was the first song that played. How perfect, because the next day continued the saga as Lana wore the bracelet I made her to the show and even talked about it on stage. When she went to the barrier after Ultraviolence, she walked straight to me, and showed me she was wearing the bracelet. I was so touched. I didn’t expect that either, and it truly warms my heart that she loved it enough to wear it at the show. So honoured and so grateful.

    That 48 hour span has truly been the peak of my entire life. I’ll never recover from this.

    (& I know people have been wondering if I asked her any of our burning questions, but unfortunately I didn’t. I even have my own personal list of questions I’ve always wanted to ask her, but because this run-in was completely unexpected, those questions weren’t even in my mind. Again, nothing but neon squiggles & fireworks in my brain lol. Maybe next time! Xx)

     

    This is such an amazing story and proof that fate is real and everything happens for a reason. You were MEANT to meet Lana that day and as the backbone of the fandom, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. It warms my heart that Lana is such an amazing, sweet person. They say you should never meet your idols, but I don't worry when it comes to her. Thank you for sharing this!

    I wonder what her definition of Americana is cause I can see her going a lot of different directions with that same term describing the record. It sounds like she's still in the early stages of it tho and we know how quickly she changes direction so we'll see...

     

    She also mentioned she's working with a new person so that's exciting too :hype:

     

    I don't think Americana necessarily means country; I would argue that BTD fits the theme perfectly. I wouldn't mind an album that had a sound similar to Ride.  We're talking about the woman that literally invented Americana (jk.. but not really actually).
