Erik Satie: Gymnopedie no 3 at the end of the Carmen video

this bit makes me laugh so much bc i can imagine the interviewer asking her really seriously why she covered TOW and then lana just breaks out with 'da othaaa womannnnn has timeeee to manicurree ha naillsssss' lol
 

 

Some people do. Often the same ones who enjoy telling everyone how logical they are, more than actually putting it into practice consistently  
But I get what you're saying. It's too easy to shut down when overwhelmed by one's emotions in social situations. The good news is, some people who have built up numerous connections between the two sides of the brain, ie multitaskers, report that they can learn how to process emotions along with rational thoughts at (more or less) the same time. Apparently it's a skill one can get better at with practice

You mean no one really named their kid Flea? This calls everything concerning RHCP's authenticity into question from now on.

She's such a gemini   

Me and Lana was walking the streets and then dreams are so random that I remember she started breakdancing in her red converse and it was weird. we were like best friends

to be fair, we don't know that for sure. she's obviously incredibly intuitive; seemingly in tune with a different wavelength than most. i imagine that she's aware of subtle shifts in energy, microexpressions, etc; all of which fall heavily in line with what @@PrettyBaby was saying about being highly sensitive to social cues and/or feeling overstimulated on a consistent basis. lana said so herself -- people make her feel crazy. i'm sure this interviewer didn't say anything particularly malicious, however, it doesn't mean she couldn't detect some kind of malice in the periphery anyway
 
even if she was correct in her assessment, we'd never know for certain. and what's worse -- neither would she! her meltdown was likely based on a feeling and nothing more. something unwritten and unspoken; essentially untranslatable outside of her own mind. but lack of concrete evidence doesn't have anything to do with the actual truth or the impact of the situation. she'd still be affected by the ~energy or her intuitions nonetheless -- feeling (and appearing) crazy in the process 
 
[and suddenly her interest in metaphysics makes much more sense after typing this all out]

She's such a gemini   

@@evilentity Didn't you say you're borderline INTJ/P? There's no way you're really this judgmental. Why do you insist on playing devil's advocate when it comes to Lana Del Rey? Cynicism, while the opposite of naive idealism, is no more objective; it's just biased in the opposite direction. There is nothing particularly truthful, or brave, in such an approach.
 
Withholding judgment is not the same as defending. It is simply admitting "I don't know," putting a pin in it, and waiting for more information to pass judgment. Waiting forever if necessary; not everything needs to be decided. This is my approach to life in general, and my intent in discussing LDR or anyone else. I'm not saying I'm always successful at avoiding bias, but I do consistently try.
 
If there's a source of bias in my assessment of LDR's choices, it's not from liking her music. It's from identifying intensely with the reactions she inspires in others. The things people say about her often echo criticisms directed at me in my own life, and I'm honestly baffled by many of them. In my case, being "highly sensitive" has less to do with injured feelings or low EI/EQ (though they do factor in), and more to do with a tendency to be overwhelmed sooner than others by certain forms of environmental stimuli. For me, processing social cues is an exhausting task. So when people like me ask to be treated a certain way, it sounds like we're saying we don't want to work as hard as others, when really we're saying we ARE working hard, to the point of fatigue and rapidly diminishing returns. Does this make any sense? (For anyone who's interested in learning how to work/live with the sensitive people they know, I highly recommend "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aron.)
 
But this isn't supposed to be about me
 
I don't think this was a terrible job on the interviewer's part. I think he went too far in a few cases, like we all do sometimes, but saying he "triggered her red flags" is intended as a neutral description of what happened, not accusing him of wrongdoing. I'm glad he gave his account of how it went down. (But it is HIS account.) An interview is not a fixed, physical commodity. It is an interaction between people, colored by the personalities of each, and that is okay. I'm not trying to pronounce judgment on one party. I'm trying to leave open the possibility that even in a situation of conflict, NEITHER party is necessarily in "the wrong."

It is endlessly fascinating to me how a sensitive person can simply stand up for herself and refuse to play the diplomacy game, and get called a bitch for it.
 
Apparently there is pressure in some form for Lana to do interviews. I say good for her for knowing to call it quits this time. (After, what, seven hours of interview time the day before?)
 
Yes, indeed there is a place for treating different people differently, and treating more-sensitive people with greater sensitivity. It's called emotional intelligence, and anyone who works with people would do well to at least consider it in their approach. (I don't usually extoll the virtues of EI because I think it gets overemphasized these days compared to other forms of intelligence... But completely ignoring it is just as ridiculous.)
 
Whether the established players like it or not, Lana is going to have to find her own approach to the game. If a journalist triggers her red flags, then she has the right to enforce her boundaries by ending the interview. (He even says she told him it wasn't about him. That's a conciliatory move. Artless? Maybe. Hissy fit? Hardly.)

She's such a gemini   

She's such a gemini   

She's such a gemini   

Talk about surgery all you want. It's an interesting topic, I'm sure Lana wouldn't appreciate it but we're not doing it maliciously.

I think that her eyebrows were really different back then, really thin. Eyebrows can drastically change someone's appearance/personality. But I also think she did something to her nose... Im not an expert, but it seems like she has prosthesis, you can notice that the dorsum of her nose has a different shape now.
 
I hope Im not going off topic, but I am also interested in plastic surgeries and I couldn't avoid talking about it since someone showed the same interest hehe.
 
(sorry if I made any grammar mistake, english is not my main language)

29th birthday!!! OMG, hallelujah

Thanks! was listening to song other day and I thought it sounded familiar...

"The voice of Nirvana says: 'come as you are'" - Oh Say Can You See - LDRAKALG
 
I reallyike this thread lol

About the interview MM did with Lana back in Jan of 09... I think they knew each other. 
My theory is that maybe he was seeing her on the DL.. because he was with with someone else. Could explain all the "woman on the side" references we get. It makes sense if he got married not long after they split. 
 
I also have this crazy theory that he was seeing her after he got married. Her tweets on her MissDaytona account seem to be directed (or indirected) to someone on there. I could just be over thinking it.
 
Also, about "Afraid" being about MM... doubtful. I think that song is about the 7 year relationship. I don't think Michael Mizrahi because of the teenagers line.. wasn't he like 10 years older than her? 

Facebook. I have proofs.

She keeps in touch with MM's mom... & apparently his wife.....

Remember?
You got game boy, game boy, you got game boy, game boy.. 

It seems like she had such a comfortable life as Liz. Hanging out in dat darn trailer park, wearing wigs and making videos, writing songs.... Just being a general menace. And then the occasional social work... Pretty sweet life.

Well the interview seems very... weird.
