PrettyBaby

Okay, so since I really really hate the cover they chose for the paradise edition and I have a lot of free time [via being a pie], I made one myself for me to think I'm better than them -which I'm absolutely not, you'll see.
So whatever, I decided to post it here in case anyone else hates the album artwork more than this.
One for the ep and one for the album.
 
Ep
 
 
 
The other one
 
 
 
I used this photo because I liked it and because I couldn't find a proper hq version of the blue jeans outtake they photoshopped, so if you have it send it to me or post it here and I will happily make one with that, or don't. I don't care.

Come on you sadistic German/Count of Transylvania, don't do me like this.
 
 
It's just the simple idea that creating and following our own imposed boundaries can be a healthy part of our lives by providing self-discipline and acting as a sort of guide/compass in our lives and what we do, but that they're never static--we're always reevaluating and adjusting our boundaries, remaining open to inevitably changing them as we grow, hence limitless. Makes a lot of sense, i reckon. Yes?

Congratulations. What a great interview

Gutted that there isn't 2 blue jeans choices, because the first blue jeans (with her and vintage clips) is the best video... not on there though

My obviously ~very important, accurate thoughts~ on this:
 
I think her dislike of performing is strong enough to be a large factor as to why she said that (but not the only factor, and not necessarily the largest, either). Like someone else said (I forget who, but props to you), I wouldn't mind if Lana pulled a Kate Bush and pulled from performing altogether, but still released shit. If constant performing for large crowds causes her enough anxiety for her to want to stop releasing albums altogether, I would sacrifice the possibility of one day seeing her perform for her continuing career in the industry.
 
I do think it was an incredibly stupid thing to say, "I've said all I've needed to say." You're young, Lana! 27 is YOUNG. You're not going to stop having songwriting-worthy experiences at a certain age. Your life does not end at 27. (Please, no tacky 27 club jokes). You're still going to fall in love and have relationships and have crappy, depressing periods in your life and maybe have children or discover new passions and see new places and do new things and grow and learn things about yourself that you didn't know -- and aren't at least some of those worthy of being documented? Is this not what you've written about before?
 
I don't know. Maybe she only wanted to write about the "crazy, tumultuous years" of her youth... but I think it'd be a real pity to only write about the struggles in her YOUTH. This is how she'd leave her music career, with songs about a reckless past (from being a teenager to early adulthood) that doesn't even define who she is (and a horribly over-produced album)? I think that's some really stagnant shit.
 
 
She probably does have some dramatic tendencies to her, but I never read the quote thinking that, or thinking that she spoke without some real thought to it, or that it was attention-seeking. I think this is something that she genuinely thought at that moment, in that time of her life. It doesn't mean she didn't put thought into it.

Jesus.
 
 
Despite being totally against the idea of a "member of the week" (hint hint: don't ever nominate me again or i'll sneak into every mod's house in the middle of the night and rearrange the furniture so as to totally confuse you) i voted for PrettyBaby because i wanted to hear what she had to say.
 
 
P.S. The other day in yoga we were talking about limitless boundaries.

Congratulations PrettyBaby! It was interesting to read your interview.

LOL, I do the same thing!

Really interesting, and such a good way to get to know you! Loved your shuffle and explanation on finding Lana. Good interview, Maru, makes me excited for the continuation of Member of the Week.

I always thought lawyers were badasses. Being manipulative, go on chase for informations, go on court w/ a wig and robe and shout "OBJECTION YOUR HONOR!"... (sorry I watched too many series and movies).
Since there's no photo of you, this is how i'll picture you from now on. You're on the left btw.
 

10.) What was the last book you read?
"Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. I think Chloe was one of those who recommended it to everyone. I miss her
 
 
 
Aww, I missed you! Did you like Never Let Me Go? I love both the book and the film:')

Congratulations, PrettyBaby! You rock!♥

I want whatever she wants. If she's happy, I'll support her whatever she decides.

"How do you like me now?"
"Fair to middling."

 
Oh this is too much fun.

"How do you like me now?"
"Fair to middling."

 
Oh this is too much fun.

Congratz!!

Oh my, PrettyBaby. I just discovered you! To be honest I thought you were a 16 yo boy... (I don't know why, don't ask). I love your answers, you're articulate and fun . Congrats!
And Maru, very good initiative, those questions/answers are great. We get to know our star of the week without being too invasive.

Congratulations PrettyBaby! I'm glad you won, I've always enjoyed reading your posts and this is a great interview. You have an awesome sense of humor and you totally deserve Member of the Week. Woooo!

i literally put her under alternative because i don't want my itunes library to have missing genres 'cause i get ocd about music.
 
but srsly, idk what genre, idc either. i know i like it so fuck it.

Congrats :shy:

this interview is so damn good. i wish i could've had such awesome questions!
 
well done prettybaby, and what an awesome interview!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this video I just saw on Tumblr, but I wanted to share it here:

I never cease to be amazed at how genuinely kind and sweet Lana is! I think it's something to highlight, especially as the novelty effect of her stardom has probably worn off, but she still keeps that smile and warm heart, with an appreciative attitude and an open, present disposition. I really think she possesses the virtue of compassion, which is sadly so rare nowadays. Not many famous - heck, non-famous! - people are this nice. I had one good encounter and that was with bearded troubadour Devendra Banhart (he was lovely), but most stars are bitches. Disaffected irony is overrated.

"he said can you party later on?"
he said... "no"

 
 
 
 
 
"promise you'll remember that you're mine"
"no"

 
 
 
 
 
"tell me i'm your national anthem!"
"no"

 
 
 
 
 
 
this is seriously the best thing ever.

"Give me the brite lites"
"No."
 
"Promise you'll remember that you're mine"
"No."
 
"Put Me in a Movie"
"NO."
 
"You can be the boss daddy"
"No."
 
"They're disgusting, I'm delicious."
"No."
 
"Do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?"
"Nope."
 
"I'm the girl next door, let me come in"
"No way."
 
"Is it a crime to wanna shine in my white go go boots and my silver design?"
"Yes it is."

All that's real to me is the Paradise Edition deluxe box set :sigh:
