So well-said! Building off what you said, I really think it’s silly for everyone to suddenly renounce their support for Lana over this and make such bold declarations about her when we don’t even really know her. I’m not defending her mask of choice, but I do think that there are ways of discussing this without immediately bringing in the whole “Republican” and “conspiracy theorist” and “Trump supporter” arguments because those can be damaging insinuations for a lot of people and Lana has never proven to be any of those things - I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate people who claim to be her own fans throwing that kind of jargon around. Not trying to lecture anyone or single anyone out, but I do think that this kind of “critiquing” of her (that instead becomes a tomato-throwing conquest towards her) doesn’t really help anyone and it just invalidates the point being made. Message also sent with love - but likely concern that will never be addressed.

Not exactly related to what you’re saying but this account is actually quite strange in that its whole purpose in the beginning was to hate on Chuck’s work and then it focused on “exposing” Lana’s new boyfriend, and it is quite appalling that someone would go out of their way to create an account to bash people and spread hate - it’s not even productive criticism or really focused on educating people to do better - it’s just part of a bigger cultural problem.

For all my writers - Lana’s typewriter is a portable electric Royal Scriptor AX150! It’s currently unavailable or out of stock on all retail sites but re-sales can be found on Amazon US or E-Bay! Happy writing

I was looking for this exact quote so I could post it on here! Great minds think alike Sylvia’s writing is always chilling. This is just one example

You said it so perfectly, I completely agree! I actually really disagree when people try and invalidate NFR by saying it was a “compromise” or was “safe” or “watered-down” when really I think that Lana is just somebody whose perspective is ever-evolving and whatever her muse is at a given moment is what will be channeled into a song or a poem. Just because her previous records or future records adopt a different narrative from that album doesn’t mean it was ever disingenuous or “pandering” to any critics.

For all my friends who missed out on this from Interview Magazine's website, you can pre-order it here: https://www.yourcelebritymagazines.com/collections/lana-del-rey/products/us-interview-magazine-september-2020-lana-del-rey-pre-order It's so much cheaper to get it from here than Interview Mag's site because of the shipping costs. I think for me it would've been $60 from Interview Mag but on here I saved $15! They also have other Lana magazines from past eras and the reviews for this site are pretty legit!

I really feel like the Interview Mag video from today could also double as a trailer for this poetry book, especially if she’s going to chronicle her fragility in this book like she said in May. I’m so excited for this and how it’s going to connect to Question for the Culture and COTCC!

AKA - Early February Born to Die - Late January Paradise - Late November/early December Ultraviolence - Mid-June Honeymoon - Early August LFL - Mid-July NFR - Early September, transitional period between summer and fall COTCC - Feeling a late September/early October vibe so far!

I think because of the lash extensions paired with the baby blue nails it has to be between June 30th and July 8th because on June 29th she was with her friends with no lash extensions, and on July 9th she had sparkly pink nails. LOL the sleuthing of us Lana fans!

Oh that’s true! I thought it was July 3rd since Wild Mud Barker was at their house that day and he filmed a project on set of this and I figured she just took her makeup off/switched it, but definitely late June/early July still stands!

Yes, I’m almost certain that July 3rd was the date they shot this! And I’m also sure that the interview with Jack happened between July 28th and July 30th!

This video just reminded me why I love Lana so much - and why we are so blessed to experience the art and gift of a genius of all her art forms!

Especially with her references to Sylvia in NFR and Patent Leather Do-Over, I think the facility may be autobiographical to her, but is definitely a motif based on The Bell Jar!

I didn’t find Question for the Culture to be controversial at all, I had read it as I would read any other announcement she has made and didn’t think too much about it. It wasn’t until I went online the next day and saw everybody attacking her that I was more aware of the culture she was referring to and I think the public’s reaction and them turning it into a race war just proved the point she was making. Her listing those women in the admiring way she did was to say “look at these women who sing about the same stuff that I do, but are seen as empowering figures in the feminist community, whereas I am seen as archaic in my beliefs that allegedly set women back hundreds of years.” I get that fans say they’re “traumatized” by her posting that because it’s never fun to watch someone you care about be berated by the masses, but I think that kind of indirectly trivializes the things that Lana was saying and contributes to the erasure of inclusivity of women in feminism and perpetuates the narrative that women need to adopt traditionally-masculine characteristics in order to be empowering (and by the way, I’m not saying women who adopt those characteristics are doing so on purpose just to fit a standard of feminism, there are so many more factors besides gender that play into why someone is the way they are). Why can’t women just be the way they are, even if that’s more “fragile” as Lana has identified herself to be, and still be empowering? I admire her ability to come out and say something like this - something that people may not be able to metabolize in times like these.

Ah, I see. That’s what I figured. Thank you so much! I guess we’ll have to wait until Tuesday then!

Has Interview Magazine put this issue up for sale/pre-order? Asking because I’ve seen people say they’ve purchased it online but it could be from that EBay retailer.

This interview is so amazing. One thing I’ve always admired about Lana is how she’s firm in her beliefs and confident in her own abilities - I think she really speaks to the saying that if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, then nobody will. And for that reason, she’s a huge inspiration! The way she puts things and the way she’s so self-actualized and aware of her own mechanisms really just reminds me why she will forever be my favourite artist!

@Elle I just wanna say that it’s amazing how you transcribed this interview when we only got pictures of it - that takes true dedication and it doesn’t go unnoticed you’re the best.

AMAZING. WOW! This really screams a 2020 version of her 2011 style with the hair colour, makeup, jewelry and nails! And Chuck shot these pics and did an amazing job as usual!

I wonder if the people listed at the bottom are interviewing her this issue? Gloria Steinem is listed as well as Jack, who she recently followed on Instagram!

Love this! It must have been shot around her birthday, as her nails were this colour and shape at the time! Also, this hair colour seems to be before her dye job in Tulsa on July 27th!

The title track of Honeymoon! I feel like people don’t really talk about it that much nowadays and when it came out I remember people dismissed it as “boring” because it was “slow” and “sparse” but I think it’s a song where her vocals shine and her extra-layered harmonies in the chorus paired with the sweeping strings and plucked guitar chords are so atmospheric! Musical heaven and masterful lyricism at its finest. I think it’s definitely one of her top 5 best songs of all time and that whole record is a career highlight!

I am the only correct answer

Hello, this is @IanadeIrey. I can confirm the record will be out September 3rd at 9 PM PST / September 4th at midnight EST! ‘Til then!

That post with Malena/Complex 2017 cover with the Honeymoon intro...hmmm - that, coupled with the BTD era talkshow leads me to believe she's teasing something really glamorous coming back this era!
