I feel your tea, sir. But omg I can’t believe Lana is throwing the biggest field day for me and I can’t even be there LA fans are so damn lucky. Being able to own one of those dresses is literally a dream. I wish more than anything that i could attend.

Lana has announced via twitter that the Lust for Life Merch Pop-Up Shops will be arriving in Los Angeles from November 24 - December 2. She will be present at the shop for an hour each day. The location will be revealed on the 22nd.

Lana is attending a party with actor Ansel Elgort and his girlfriend Violetta Komyshan in Los Angeles, California.

I contacted my host server about why the site had been slow, and this is the response I received. Since the gifs are embedded into the posts, it causes everything to be slower. It would be different if someone linked to the gif rather than embedding it in the post. x

Definitely! Thank you for helping! x Oh, don't worry! You are of course still allowed to post gifs. No one will get in trouble for doing so. But just keep in mind they can slow the site down. Just a way to help speed it up is to only post non-LB gifs when needed. But do as you please!

Hi everyone! Just popping in to say, part of the reason that LanaBoards has been kind of slow lately is because of the overload of non-LanaBoards gifs being posted. Of course, you are still welcome to post them as you please, but try to keep them to a minimum if you can! Sending everyone all my love. (& Cherry is the best song on LFL)

You’re right! Same hair, same shirt, same jewelry. http://instagram.com/p/BX8cUh1Am9g/

"de mortuis nil nisi bosnum." Just wanted to add my two cents on the topic. It's very tragic how Peep died, and it's really disheartening to read some of the comments in this thread. Although Peep would often post videos or speak of his drug use, I definitely don't think it was meant to "glorify" drugs. He wasn't doing them just because he thought it was "cool." He was truly depressed and dependent on his pills. I see it as an obvious cry for help. Coming from someone who has lost friends to drug use, he showed all the same signs. He just wanted help, but didn't know how to ask for it. If you read some of his instagram captions that were posted just 2 days ago, they're also eerie cries for help. "When I die You'll love me" "I just wana be everybody's everything I want too much from people but then I don't want anything from them at the same time u feel me I don't let people help me but I need help but not when I have my pills but that's temporary one day maybe I won't die young and I'll be happy? What is happy I always have happiness for like 10 seconds and then it's gone. I'm getting so tired of this" "I feel emptyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Underlined some segments of the second quote that make it extra eerie. He knew he needed help. He didn't want to die young. Yet, he knew it was coming. So evident if you read his song lyrics, especially the opening line of 'The Way I See Things' - "I got a feeling that I'm not gonna be here for next year, so let's laugh a little before I'm gone." Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this was ruled as a suicide. But, there's this rumour going around that a fan gave him laced pills that led to his overdose. The fan met him after the show, gave him the pills, and then was bragging to her Twitter group chats that they "really fucked him up" and he was "passed out" because of them. She left all the group chats & deactivated her twitter account after she learned he was dead. Nothing is confirmed though, of course. Either way, his death is super tragic. He knew he needed help, yet no one would help him. You can really see his decline just within the past few days on his instagram. The most chilling video has now been deleted from his instagram, most likely by request of someone on his team, where he stated, "I just took 6 Xanax and I was lit. I'm good. I'm not sick." All this aside, my heart goes out to everyone affected by his death. I never really knew of him, I had only heard a few songs, but just a little over a week ago when I was in ATL to see Poppy, he was performing at the same venue in a larger room. After Poppy's show, my friend and I were chatting outside the venue for 2 hours. Just as we were hopping in an Uber to leave, Lil Peep came outside the venue to greet fans. As we were driving away, my friend and I shouted at him and he turned to us and smiled & waved. He seemed like a pretty cool guy. RIP.

Added some new & higher quality images to the OP. The new images will also be included in the spoiler below. I also put the transcript of her speech as well as a video of compiled segments from it in the OP. And may I just add that this is by far one of her best looks this year if not THE best?? She looks absolutely stunning.

She's been looking exceptionally youthful lately Drinking out of the fountain of youth. ~there's something in the water~

Lana presented the "Manager of the Year" award to her managers Ben Mawson & Ed Millett from TAP Management at the AM Awards (Artist & Manager Awards) held at The Printworks in London, UK Video: Speech: I am very happy to be here tonight to give my managers this award and I wanted to share with you what they did for me that no one else could do. They were able to see in me all of the things that people around 2006/2007 said were unmarketable, not pop enough, too abstract. They were able to see these traits as assets and to have the wisdom to see that some of the peculiarities of my writing style were relatable. They could actually make my record translate in a universal way that other bigger managers and bigger labels that I had met hadn’t been able to understand up until that point. My melodies, choruses and songs weren’t four to the floor, and my sentiments were not always cheerful… like having a debut record called Born to Die! But I was able to communicate my feelings in a way that was different from other artists at the time. I had my own unique vocabulary and I had ambitions to be a great American writer. They saw that value in that. By the time I met Ben in 2009 I had already been playing in local bars and auditioning for major and indie labels for about four years. Although my experiences with open mic nights and playing on the lower east side of New York City was generally positive, my experience playing for labels was mostly the same. Every meeting ended with the question, Where are the hits? To which I would indignantly reply, I’m sharing my life story! I guess I expected people to see the value in that and to have an a-ha moment. On some level I think people did love the music, I got a lot of positive feedback, just no calls back. That was probably because nobody knew what to do with the tone of the project and songs, and they couldn’t really envision what my career would look like long term. But when I met Ben and shortly after I met Ed, I moved to London where they lived, and we did start to get calls back after making the rounds for a few years. They were the first people who could see the big picture and they loved my music as much as I loved making it. Which I think is the most important thing for a manager: to truly love the projects that they are working on and to want to make the personal and professional commitment it takes to make an artist successful. Once an artist becomes famous, it really does become a commitment and a shared life between everybody involved. The artist’s ups and downs and the layers of the complexities in the ways that the managers need to be involved, especially in a younger artist’s life, can be extensive. Crazy ex-boyfriends, complex family histories to work through, previous indie record deals gone wrong, eleven record publishing commitments made at a young age to unwind. All of that before you even think about what the style of the first record should be. The most valuable thing a manager and an artist can share is to be on the same page as each other for the most important things like principles, ethics and goals. Eight years ago I told my managers upfront that there were going to be more parts of me that were not for sale than would be for sale. That having a real private life was going to be as big a priority to me as it was to write thoughtful records. I had to fight that a little bit, but we’ve kept them at the forefront of all of our decision making. On a side note, I’d also just like to say that there is a real cultural shift happening this year with women coming forward telling their stories about experiences in the entertainment business. It’s a real cultural moment. Me and my managers called each other up the same day that some of these revelations started to be divulged and I felt really lucky that we were on the same page about the fact that we felt like this is going to be a really good thing for artists like me and younger. I had a moment in those weeks thinking about how important it is to have those shared principles. So to finish, I really am one of those artists who wouldn’t be where I am now without these two people because it does take a village to make an artist go far. They’ve helped find the right people to support me as I travel around the world sharing my music. I also wanted to say that Dave Chumbley was my booking agent and he passed away this year while we were doing shows in the UK. I feel like if I mention his name, he’d be smiling because he loved stuff like this. So congratulations, you really deserve it, Ben Mawson and Ed Millet, managers of the year. Getting some BRIT Awards 2013 Vibes.. I feel like 2017 has been the year of 2013 throwbacks.

“Inspiration #3 - Jack Kerouac”

Truly! I mean, before when she alluded to using the dance used in live permances in the video & now talks about it being in a hotel.. I’m getting some strong National Anthem demo video vibes. Lana sensually dancing around in a hotel again would be the best thing ever. (1:04-1:20, 3:20-3:26, 0:51–0:55) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTWZ_e8rHHw

Awh, one of my friends just met Taylor outside of her NYC popup shop & Tay paid for her pedicab home. Despite her negative ~Reputation~ she does always seem to be really sweet to her fans.

:illumarina: :illumarina:

Wow, what? I expected Lana's only real competition to be Lorde and maybe perhaps Imagine Dragons, but I definitely didn't except 30 Seconds to Mars to win. Seems suspicious
