Adding to this - it seems the movie that Florida Kilos was intended for was formally scrapped! https://www.nylon.com/articles/what-happened-to-harmony-korines-the-trap/amp

Okay this is a good question because I’ve always wondered about her alleged involvement with Spring Breakers, and it gets even more confusing as to where that even came from, because of this excerpt from her interview with James Franco for V Magazine in 2015 -

Omg! Thank you so much for sharing this. <3 Do you have any other intel on recording dates for songs (from any era) that you can share?

All the songs from this era are just god-tier…it’s so interesting to think about the headspace she was in following such an unwarranted backlash that led to the creation of some of the best songs she’s ever made—a large majority of them unreleased. I remember in her Instagram Live on Blue Banisters release day, she said that making another record didn’t seem like the next step to “being pissed off” but it was “all [she] knew how to do” at the time. Ultraviolence and its cumulative recording process is not just a career-defining moment, but a life-defining one. She was and still is so incredible.

Black Beauty was earlier than June 2013! She first mentioned it in an interview posted here on LanaBoards on February 27, 2013. My guess is that it’s from one of those January 2013 sessions with Rick.

Fordham Road vs. A Star for Nick

Besides that, lyrical continuity and parallel imagery have always been cornerstone aspects of Lana’s writing. She—inadvertently or not—constructs a grander narrative between the records through her own self-referencing.

I think Sky Ferreira is a testament to how permeating Internet culture can be. Like, I know nothing about this woman and have done nothing to actively learn anything about her, yet I’m so aware of the fact that she has been delaying an album for almost ten years———and that’s simply because of how information migrates to and overlaps with respective audiences on the Internet! It’s so fascinating. Oh - and she was also in that one scene in the Twin Peaks revival.

“in World News”

“Ignoring reality” ugh relatable queen

I love Courtney Love to death but there’s no way she introduced Lana to Joni Mitchell…Lana first mentioned Joni Mitchell in this 2014 interview and stated in this 2019 interview that she heard Joni’s name brought up constantly and “didn’t really start listening to too much of it until college”, which would’ve been well before she met Courtney.

Omg really? It seems like it will get counted as a separate submission on my end, as none of my first answers reload! That’s okay though lol that’s the only thing I wanted to change and I’m sure the majority will nominate/vote for the song anyways Thank you anyways!! <3

“Crazy For You” and “California” (different from the one on NFR) — both are outtakes from Honeymoon!

Clowning myself for submitting my votes before the three songs surfaced in the last two days I trust the Lipsters will make sure Dragonslayer wins!

Don’t worry, the Lipsters have your back and know who to vote for (myself included, I voted for you for a few! ) <3

@lanaswildflowers for the millionth time

Omg What can I say? We got tested and *I* passed, yes…

It’s so wild how the Lipsters spent months pining after one song just to learn about another song (that they have heard less of and know less about) and turn their backs on the first song. Don’t let things come along and detract you from your goals, Lipsters. Take from that what you will…

Just voted! Good luck to everyone and can’t wait to see everyone’s red carpet looks next month

OK @Wait For Life has my vote just for that campaign alone…

A decade edition!! This is so exciting and I love the graphics - thank you @Elle and @Rorman Nockwell for putting this all together! <3

I agree with this, especially in the way that you acknowledge the reality of human response. And I think you’re spot-on about how certain sociopolitical doctrines are never going to be fully legitimized by the public as we’re a divisive population. I WISH things could be ideal, and that’s what I was expressing, but I appreciate how you ground this discussion back into the real world application. The best we can do is adapt ourselves to yield the results that we want, regardless of whether or not that’s the most ideal thing.

I totally get where you’re coming from, but I’d also say it is complicated because this kind of logic enables that of people (mostly men) who justify the unwanted sexual attention that women receive (like harassment) on the basis of what those women are wearing. I can only speak for myself when I say that I would never wear anything revealing so as to not increase the possibility of that harassment, but women receive sexual attention regardless of what they’re wearing. There are so many instances of women being sexualized to their discomfort even in conservative cultures and religions. I guess because Lana is famous and is presenting this through art, it appears slightly different, but I think the principle still stands. The photos can be appreciated without vulgar comments attached to them. Sensual art has a place, but it seems that the artfulness of it is stripped away as soon as the audience marvels at one’s bosom in a lustful way.

I totally agree! You bring up a really insightful point about how completely leaning into sexuality is seen as a primary means of empowerment. I’d argue that both extremes—being liberated in your sexuality to the point of overexposure and being conservative about your sexuality to the point where any exercise of it becomes associated with shame—are damaging, and both position women as objects to be perceived by men (the contrast between the “slut” who is repulsive to men and the “saint” whose purity and innocence are appealing to men). I think we should avoid unsolicited comments about people’s bodies in general, especially sexual ones given the social dynamics of Lana being a woman whose fan site consists of a lot of men.

I think it’s disgusting and backwards. These are still (mostly) men making these comments. It’s great for Lana for feeling liberated to embrace her femininity in the way that she is—and I think the women who praise her for doing so are doing it from a place of camaraderie and solidarity with the female experience. But when people talk about her breasts in a way that is reductive and almost drooling over them, it’s plain disgusting. Period.
