Pretty When You Cry vs Cherry

July 9th, 2019 lol. I kissed my (then) girlfriend for the very last time. Deep in my heart I sort of had this gut feeling it was going to be the last time, so I kissed her goodbye, approached my Uber to take me to the airport to fly home, and while the driver was loading my suitcase into the trunk, I ran back to her to give her one final kiss. I just knew if I didn't I would regret it. When was the last time you did something that scared you? x

"Primavera Festival "

Backfire vs Because of You

This absolute tea....... Well hey bb I’m single & wont make u sign a prenup Talk Ameri-Lana to me x

Okay that might be tea (ignore my grown out nails. I have an appointment to get them redone on Friday.) There's a lot of treasures in this book I'll have to share, but out of everything, this page is my favourite. I know it's been around the Lanaverse for awhile and is nothing new to see, but while flipping through all of the senior pages, everyone had such long paragraphs except for Lana. All she offered was one line. It's so very "Lana" of her - but her simple one-line speaks more volumes than any of the other paragraphs. Even though it was a Jewel quote, it just shows how she can express the most sincere sentiments in the fewest of words x

I think my rarest piece of merchandise is the Born to Die serpent flask! I saw one go on eBay for $600 the other day and hadn't even seen it listed anywhere in ages. Additionally, I own pieces that are less hard to come by but still pricey on resale such as the Paradise boxset, heart-shaped coke rosary, & Zippo lighter. I'm so glad I was able to get all of those while they were still being sold for their initial price. I also have three of her first magazine covers - Wonderland, Lovecat, and Intro! (I actually own every single magazine she's ever covered with a unique photoshoot for the cover, and also probably double that in magazines that have covered her with recycled photoshoots) Then, of course, my plethora of vintage dresses she's worn... I would say probably out of all of them, her Coachella dress is probably the rarest vintage piece I've found. I've been searching for it since the day she wore it and I finally found the exact dress for sale the other week. I had known of the brand for a few years, but the exact style & print combo was a waiting game x

No no, that's what I'm saying! I agree, it'd be better to buy pure biotin pills, SBH is just an extra novelty on top of the biotin x

Their main ingredient is biotin which does promote hair growth, although it's probably better off to just take straight biotin pills. SugarBearHair is really just an added novelty with the cute teddies & they do taste really yummy compared to just swallowing a pill (I tried SBH's multivitamin and they tasted like pink lemonade bubblegum heaven, so I assume the hair ones taste the same or at least just as delicious) x

It does sure seem that way.. I remember at her pop-up shop in 2017 she talked about how she attempted to go blonde back in 2016 but it turned out "blorange" and she gave up. I remember during the beginning stages it looked like someone just threw a pile of bleach on her hair and didn't tone it at all, and she ended up with un-dimensional red hair, before it slowly turned into an auburn shade and then finally the warm-blonde colour before she ditched it like a week later. After that, she dyed it back brunette and it looked reeeeally damaged from all the colouring she went through (especially because she started it after having her hair dyed jet black at the end of 2015 which is hard to come back from so quickly, especially since they didn't try to stage out the colouring process and immediately bleached her whole head of hair, leading to the flat red), which is probably why she chopped it all off in 2017. She's switched colourists since then and started using hair vitamins, and her hair has been looking a lot better. It seems she's trying to transition to blonde again in a healthier manner, by slowly continuing to add highlights & balayage to her hair until it becomes a blonde colour. I must admit, her chocolate brown hair is always my favourite on her, but it would be interesting to see her blonde again just for a change of pace. I really do think brunette suits her best though x This was all in the span of 6 months, which is a veryyyy quick way to go from black to blonde, leaving her with damaged hair she just chopped off a year later. A proper way to lighten is to give the hair multiple-month breaks in between, and gradually add the lightener in through highlights & balayage throughout multiple sessions rather than just trying to bleach the whole thing at once, and then continuing to bleach it repeatedly soon after. Going from dark to light in a healthy way could take around a full year depending on the starting shade of the hair and its tolerance/strength for bleach x

Apparently, Lana offered! In conversation with the girl in the first three pictures - Fan: Hey, my friend made your coffee and I wanted to check if he was lying to me or not. Lana: Oh yeah! We can take a selfie? Fan: Yes!

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey was spotted at Pour Jon's Coffee in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Lana made a stop in Arkansas while traveling to Tulsa, where she arrived to later that day. In the photos, she's seen wearing a necklace she purchased at Fringe Jewels last week.

sksksks Jayne-Ann Tenggren, producer of 1917. Good on the designer Aidan Mattox, at least! Getting lots of exposure x

Lana Del Rey will be performing at NOS Primavera Sound Music Festival at the Parque da Cidade in Porto, Portugal on Friday, June 12th, 2020.

Sad Girl vs Cinnamon Girl

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey visited Bramble Breakfast & Bar in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lana has been known to visit Tulsa in the past, as that is where her boyfriend Sean "Sticks" Larkin resides. She stopped by Arkansas earlier that day during her travel.

Steven: Hours fly like railroad ties when I'm with you In an ocean deep and wide when I'm with you Everything's a little brighter Everything's a little warmer When I'm with you Lana: Hours fly like railroad ties when I'm with you Mmm.. I'm with you Everything's a little brighter Everything's a little warmer When I'm with you Steven & Lana: When I'm with you When I'm with you Everything's a little brighter Everything's a little brighter Everything's a little brighter Everything's a little brighter

Religion vs God Knows I Tried

Fingers crossed she releases I Want War x

Stop it. Anyway, I'm taking a nap - if I wake up to see anyone posting or requesting leaks to tracks from the album, I will be very angry!! Goodnight!! x LanaBoards Rules - section 1, bullet 8

So, yesterday was my 8 year anniversary of the day I first discovered Lana. I thought it would be fun to share my story of how I discovered Lana, & I'd love to hear how you all discovered her as well! On January 29th, 2012 I made the innocent gesture of complimenting my friend's makeup, having no idea it would change my life forever. She told me her makeup was inspired by the singer Lana Del Rey, and I told her I didn't know who that was. She played me a small clip of 'Video Games' and it was enough to leave me interested to know more. Later that day, I typed "Lana Del Rey" into the YouTube search bar, not really knowing what to expect. Upon hearing the name "Lana Del Rey" and hearing her dark, narcotic voice from the short bit of 'Video Games', I honestly assumed I'd be stumbling upon a hispanic woman in her late 30s, early 40s. The first result was the Born to Die music video, and I was stunned. At first I was so shocked to see this young, white, strawberry-blonde woman sitting on a throne surrounded by tigers, singing so deeply yet so beautifully. I kept watching the video, and became just so hypnotised by the beauty of the video, the song, and the singer herself. I had the video on replay for the rest of the night. I even had it going while I was removing my makeup & washing my face at the end of the night. I was so lured in. It was instant. I, of course, immediately downloaded 'Born to Die' and 'Video Games', and downloaded the album on iTunes the next day. I also remember 2 months later watching American Idol with a friend and Ryan Seacrest announced that Lana was going to do a performance of 'Video Games' - I excitedly called over my friend who was getting snacks in the kitchen to come sit down and watch the performance with me, and I was telling her about how Lana was a new artist I was getting into and really loved. So, I always say 'Born to Die' is the song that truly introduced me to Lana, and started my now 8 year journey as a fan. This next part is how I stumbled upon her unreleased music and got myself even further down the rabbit hole - I listened to the Born to Die record throughout the next several months, and then the day of the Paradise release on November 9th, 2012 came. I remember going to Grooveshark (does anyone remember that now-defunct streaming service?) to stream the new EP. This ended up being quite a silly memorable moment as I was with some friends helping set up for a movie night and had the aux cord, and of course this being my first listen of the new EP, I was very embarrassed upon "my pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" blasting through the speakers of the room, catching some confused stares from all my friends lol. Nevertheless, once the EP finished streaming, I saw a few other songs I didn't recognise from either record, so I added those to the queue. I especially fell in love with this song 'Kinda Outta Luck,' so later that evening I typed the song into iTunes assuming it was a non-album single, and was puzzled when nothing came up. At this point, I didn't really know that unreleased music was a "thing." So I took to google, and it was then that I discovered the plethora of unreleased songs in an LDR megapost. I couldn't believe it. It was like finding buried treasure. I also discovered her whole past as Lizzy Grant, which made things even more intriguing. It was in that moment I sort of converted from fan to full on stan. Lana was all I listened to for months - absolutely nothing else. All my other artists I loved took a backseat. I was constantly watching interviews, live performances, reading up on her - I was so mesmerised. I can't quite explain the feeling I had then, and still have, of just this extreme amount of interest and fascination with someone. Upon getting to know more of her story through the interviews I was watching & reading and through the lyrics of her hundreds of songs, I related to her so much. I felt so understood, like I finally found this sort of soundtrack to my entire life. & 8 years later, I'm still riding that stan train hard. I never would have thought that simply asking my friend about her makeup one day would lead to all of this - owning a whole fansite, my insane magazine/dress/merch collection, traveling the world for 15 shows, meeting amazing friends through her & even being able to meet Lana herself and thank her for all that she's done for me - it's just unreal. I always wonder what would have happened if I never discovered Lana that day back in January of 2012. I'm sure I would have stumbled upon her somehow, but would I have ever dove deeper into her music and became such the huge fan that I am today that's led me to have so many wonderful and important life experiences? It's always surprising to me when I reflect back on the smallest of gestures that have changed my entire world. This was definitely one of them. & one of the biggest ones at that. x

It was actually the shop owner - Sean’s currently in NYC for LivePD. Nice try to rile up miss Rorman though

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey was out shopping and stopped to pick up a new necklace at Fringe Jewels on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California.
