FROGGO

After Tropico is released, I feel like the GP will start saying "~SELL OUT~", "a poor attempt to be sexy", "done only to be provocative" etc, because there is such a huge disconnect between her relatively constant media image (think when she first started out, Hollywood glam, 50s/60s-inspired, etc) and the images we see of her chola-esque and as a stripper. It's a huge, confusing leap to those that don't own every last one of her leaked songs and don't Lanalyze the shit out of her songs/interviews/music videos. The images, while a bit of a surprise to us, aren't out of the blue because we fans see them as a return to the sort of sordid life she depicts in her unreleased/unacknowledged discography. These looks will appear horribly contrived and to be an overt attempt to "stir up buzz" or whatever to everyone else. ~Remember, she's just a rich girl who's father funded her career and a total industry construct and this too is probably another ploy~. I think what I'm trying to say is that I think there's going to be even more media-backlash than expected.

I just want to see Lana WORK the pole. There's no point in her wearing this outfit with the bills hanging out if she's not working a pole / gyrating sexily / giving a lap dance. If she's just looking off into the distance, all forlorn or whatever in that outfit, I WILL NOT BE HAPPY.

                        

Oh, this is true.
 
However, I think anyone who will backlash has already written her off, know what I mean? Or maybe Lana will actually explain herself well for once

Yay it's Canada Day!

I don't take offense to anyone thinking that the model is ugly or that anyone else is ugly. I'm not going to start dictating that ~everyone is beautiful~ or something equally flowery because that's total bullshit.

I do take offense to the whole "real women" and "healthy women" bit because the idea that a woman is not a "real woman" because she doesn't possess a certain figure, or that someone isn't healthy because they a certain build are just ridiculous catch-alls. If you mean to say "So-and-so has what's thought to be a 'traditionally feminine' figure and damn that's bangin' and totally my preferred type", go for it but don't spout this "REAL WOMEN" crap. 

TL;DR: I don't care if you call Lana fat, or if you think her or the model, or any other person is the ugliest person in the world. I can't nor do I want to dictate what ~you should find attractive~. Fat/ugly are subjective, women/healthy are not subjective terms. You either identify as a woman/genderqueer or not, you're either healthy or not. These things are not up for debate (although it would be disingenuous not to acknowledge that unfortunately, the former often is scrutinized) :\
 
 
 

I don't know, she could perhaps... act? You know, with dialogue?
 
I mean, "What are you doing, Ray?"   was iconic

Your country could never.

LET'S NOT PRETEND CELINE DION WASN'T THE BEST THING TO COME OUT OF CANADA EVER

I just want to see Lana WORK the pole. There's no point in her wearing this outfit with the bills hanging out if she's not working a pole / gyrating sexily / giving a lap dance. If she's just looking off into the distance, all forlorn or whatever in that outfit, I WILL NOT BE HAPPY.

                        

PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
                     
 

I've had the opportunity to see her dresses in person and they were all tiny and thank you for posting those pictures I really enjoyed them she's so beautiful

PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
PLEASE NO MONOLOGUES.
                     
 

I feel like a couple of posts in this thread that are complimentary to Lana's weight are inadvertently saying that certain other natural body types are not "healthy", nor are they the types that "real women" have. I think it's great that there's an overwhelming show of support for Lana's body (it feels absurd to even write that ) but I don't think other body types need to be thrown under the bus to make the point. Healthy bodies and women's bodies come in a wide variety of sizes, heights, body types and weight. :3
