Marilyn's weight also fluctuated A LOT. At time she had a fuller figure (as in the previous picture), sometimes rather thin (as in mine) - like so many women.

OMG how can one not like Blue Jeans?! Seriously though, why? I'm really curious now!

Did anyone here watch "Only God Forgives"?

Ditto! "Put Ur Back N 2 It" is such an amazing & heartbreaking album (especially when you know the story behind it), EVERYONE should listen to it at least once. My favourite song is "Hood" - You would never call me baby / If you knew me truly / Oh but I waited so long for your love

Agree with the first part. The second part is beside the point. We wouldn't speculate about our friends' past relationships, harshly criticize the things they said in interviews or say they look fucking terrible in this or that outfit, to name a few, and we still do all those things here. She's not our friend, and that's not a valid argument to not have or express a negative opinion on something concerning her appearance on a fan discussion board.

Oh yay, there's a topic for Say Lou Lou! I just LOVE them and Julian is the best thing ever. Pretty amazing video, too. Saw this interview only a couple of days ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoWDktODl4k The first 10 seconds are soooo cute!

Other than speculating about which song this video is for, commenting on her appearance kinda has been the topic since page 1...

The flaming you got for saying this is really sad, to be quite honest. I hadn't even commented on this thread before because I had the exact same opinion as you and I just knew a wank fest would ensue if I actually said it. Unlike me, you weren't a coward - kudos for that. When people start talking about someone else's body, they can't expect everyone to have the same opinion and only say complimentary things about it. If her current body type is a lot of people's ideal, it isn't mine, and that should be fine as well. It's not like anyone called her fat or otherwise insulted her. It's also not like we're talking about extreme thinness or promoting unhealthy ideals. It's just a preference - as in everything else in life, taste is subjective. I know it's a touchy subject, but people should still be allowed to talk about it in different ways other than utter praise or hypocrisy. And I won't even get into the "real women" argument and the fact that all this "touchiness" usually only goes one way. --- Really excited about this new video, I predict something (once again) epic! Oh, and Lana as a stripper / go go dancer --->

I think the "dark humour" thing is re: the retweet, since it's so fucking idiotic; Lana being and liking all those things doesn't make her pro-anything, she's not a walking manifesto.

128, 128 and 160 kbps, respectively. You can see all that here.

Also, hipster in the original sense of the word, not *ahem* the current one. Which should be pretty obvious since she's quoting Ginsberg and has frequently said she identifies with Beat Generation poets. Remind of you anyone?

I thought about saying something really prejudiced that would explain Adele's lack of taste, but I'm a nice girl so I won't.

Soft Machine - Why Are We Sleeping?

Even though I'm not a fan of her music AT ALL, I have nothing against Adele personally - on the contrary, I actually kinda like her; her Oscar speech was wonderful and she seems, I don't know, genuine and down-to-earth. I do think this tattoo is really unfortunate, though. I mean, it's sort of okay for fans to do that (even if I would never - I'd prefer getting something personal and unique but still related to the artist and what they mean to me rather than blatantly copying them) but for another celebrity to do that... it's just really tacky. Of course I have no idea if she really copied it from Lana or not, but I do agree with those who say it's an awful lot of coincidence for it to be, well, just a coincidence.

Kill Kill vs Motel 6

So she simultaneously has an alphamegamia fetish and is a female ephebofile/pedophile? Girlfriend sure is kinky.

@ I bow down to thee!!!

If one takes the whole Lolita thing at face value, I agree that it can be creepy. But context matters. Lana is an adult woman who clearly has always liked older men (I gots a taste for men who are older / It's always been so it's no surprise) and probably enjoys a certain amount of age play, who's singing about her own experiences (real or imagined). To say that equals promoting paedophilia is just absolutely idiotic to me. I also don't understand what's the point of these "opinion" pieces such as the article in question. They seem to assume that song lyrics' purpose in life is to promote certain lifestyles, ideals & philosophies, and that only those deemed acceptable and politically correct should be written and sung about. So... are they suggesting censorship, or...?

That article is one of the most retarded shit I've ever read. No, scratch that, skimmed over. So she likes the younger woman / older man dynamics, so fucking what? And how that tweet is even an issue I sincerely do not even know.

Nope, you are not.

I love that album but I'll never be able to memorize even half of the song titles...

It is. But it's mixed with at least portions of Blue Jeans, right? And maybe others, I don't know.
