Why didn't they release this I want her to step on me 

Absolutely love that Gucci made her a beauty queen with the big hair, makeup and definitely the nails! Living for this look. 

So I re-drew the hands and shaped her face and hair a bit differently, it looks better in my eyes now. The sun will rise in maybe an hour or so, so I won't stay up and finish the chain necklace, haha, I'll continue tomorrow. I think I'll fix the hand to the left again, it looks uneven to the one to the right. Maybe I'll start to fill it in tomorrow.

Unhappy Meal is her worst song ever. It’s terrible.

its a grower i promise you xo

Listened to HIAB long version on YT while looking at all the butterflies in my backyard. Needless to say, cried some beautiful tears...

I figured your post wasn’t serious, but it’s a bit much referring to her friends as “vapid girls who think they’re the shit” when you don’t even know what type of people they are. The other post I quoted def was serious tho.

Someone asked: Whad happened to Lana’s shoot?
Steven: coming soon too!
 
quote beacuse I’m on my phone. 
 
edit: to the person above me: he did not tag VMagazine on his post. just checked.
edit2: he did. My bad!!

Lol, this is fan fiction. Steven Klein replied to a fan on IG and confirmed it was for the mag. And he updated a post about it with the VMagazine handle.

Norman Rockwell painting of us waiting on the album
 

Yeah, I get what you're saying and in this drought I guess we have resorted to discussing her "lifestyle". But we literally don't know whether her friends are the reason for the delay of the album; it's a wild assumption. If you could even call it a delay at all (considering that ThErE iS nO pLaN). 
 
When I come here to check this thread, I expect to read about NFR related stuff. I don't think that's an unrealistic expectation. If people really want to discuss things such as her friends, her drinking matcha tea or whatever, then make a thread for it. 
 
OT: A reproduction of a Norman Rockwell painting would be amazing! I'm not sure if she would actually do that, because of her own artistic vision

I'd actually like to really know what Ben's opinion is on this whole record thing. That and how much he'll take from the 1 dollar sales of her poetry book 

Honestly I'm gonna sound harsh, but to all the people who wish a flop for Lana and many other bad things, you're trash. WE DON'T KNOW WHY SHE DELAYS THE ALBUM SO MUCH. Can't you guys understand she has a life??? Try to have some empathy and think about it! It's becoming ridiculous to hope for so much negativity. I'm so sorry but it's seriously disgusting to see Lana being dragged down like that. Never thought I'd have to say that, but it's too much. Some of you are so cruel, it's unbelievable. Lana is human, she's not a machine, let's not forget it.

Honestly, Doin' Time is perfect for her to cover because of these lyrics (which she should change to first person when she sings them):
 
Evil
I've come to tell you that she's evil most definitely
Evil
Ornery scandalous and evil most definitely
The tension is getting hotter
I'd like to hold her head underwater
 
I've put it into my current playlist and I sing that part extra loudly. 

I understand what you're saying, and I 100% agree about becoming too emotionally invested/frustrated over someone else's life/decisions. That's not healthy or productive. However ...
 
I don't think that discussion of her friends is irrelevant, given that they are part of her new ... lifestyle (if we could call it that) and that that lifestyle seems to be, at least partially, the reason for the NFR delay. As I said, it's her life, and her decisions, but as a public figure, she can expect to have those decisions scrutinised and seeing as this is a discussion board, I don't feel that it's wrong to do so here.
 
All I can say is, if my BFF put up a pic of herself in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel, we'd be having words. And I'm not even a famous bitch with millions of gay fans.
 
I don't even know how I feel about NFR being released in the context of this phase, and whether it will influence how I will feel about the music, but I'll rant about that another time.
 
I'm hoping the cover is a reproduction of one of Norman's works ... there are so many good options ... like that one someone posted awhile ago with a woman slumped against a wall with a book in her lap. She could replace all the objects with objects pertaining to her and it'd be sooo much fun to see.

i'm pretty sure the label doesn't even know when the album is coming out lol

Lana delayed NFR almost 9 months because she’s preggo

the fact that we have to look for info on random russian websites instead of lana just... telling us. omfg this is so sad good thing lipsters are better than the FBI at finding info LOL

Look at the replies. He implies it at the very least
This is the best conspiracy theory I’ve heard this entire era
