Pls I totally forgot about this and just reread the whole thread to relive the horror Anyway, Duped - a LanaBoards Horror Film premiering in autumn 2025 xx

May I be among the first few to kick of the self-campaigning, as just because I’m the host doesn’t mean I can’t campaign for myself too! Elle - for your consideration… Best Profile Picture After having the same profile picture for the past 4 years, I finally gave mine a huge upgrade this year! It's pretty iconic if you ask me. & hey, if you don't like me in it, at least cast a vote for Lana's sake as she looks sooo cute in it xx Nicest Member I always try to sprinkle sunshine whenever I go, and even when i have to lay down the law with a mod queue or warning point, I always do it with lots of love Veteran Member I have truly put my life on the line for this country website, dueling through many battles over being a member for the past 10 1/2 years & owner for the past 7! Biggest Stan Not only am I the gracious owner of the largest Lana Del Rey fan site who has now attended 18 shows (reminder to update my Signature skkk), but I have arguably one of the largest Lana collections that includes over 175 magazines, over 100 clothing items as seen on LDR, and hundreds of other merch items! Here's some photos and detailed list of my collection that I took in 2020, and if you can even imagine it, it's even larger now.. maybe winning this award will give you all a little update x Peace Keeper Again, I know it’s not fun when I have to lay down the law sometimes, but without my efforts this place would honestly be a hell hole, you gotta admit it. Be My Daddy - for Hottest Member I've graciously won this award two years in a row after a long saga of runner-up for several years, so I'm back to try to take home the title again! In case you need a refresher of my beautiful face, here are some pictures from this year: Iconic Moment of the Year Me meeting Lana randomly at a Dillards in Alabama.. I mean please, does it get more iconic than the LanaBoards owner meeting Lana herself while shoe shopping? Lipster of the Year All I'm going to say is that this place wouldn't be here without me... Also, I would just like to take this time to endorse @SalvaWHORE and @mindofyouwithmeTHANKU1moretime for Best Username because they make me giggle every time x

Winner: @hotshot2am Runner Up: @stupidapartmentcomplex Other nominees: @lizzyology, @Lanaparadiserey, @southbeachswing Though I truly resent this award each year, at this point it has become tradition. As our member graveyard grows slowly but surely each year, the Best Banned Member award is to honour someone who is no longer here with us due to their own naughtiness.

Winner: @Elle Runner Up: @That Venice Bitch Other nominees: @Embach, @lizzyology, @Surf Noir “When will people be over her? I am a Hater.” Although this is a whole forum dedicated to Lana herself, we do have those members who give her a hard time, and that’s why I cross my fingers that Lana doesn’t visit here too often. Although I don’t endorse the hatred, perhaps the Biggest Lana Hater award can give a little hint-hint nudge-nudge to ease off… or just add more fuel to the fire. Winner: @Xenoblade 3 Runner Up: @Jared Other nominees: @barttttender, @Lustformoney, @Terrence Loves Me Although this is a Lana forum, we have plenty of members who are here solely for our entertainment section, which makes up a huge portion of our site.

I’ll also be taking note of these nominees as possible future mods, or those mods who deserve an extra pat on the back. Appreciate ya. Winner: @That Venice Bitch Runner Up: @Elle Other nominees: @fishtails, @NikoGo, @ultrabanisters The Attention Whore award is to give a gentle nudge that this place is in fact LanaBoards, not ____Boards.

A little extra dramatics never hurt anyone. Most of the time. Winner: @111 Runner Up: @CandyRaye Other nominees: @ivory almond, @Strangelove, @the ocean Which member’s posts give you continuous war flashbacks, the same kind of feeling you get whenever you see a picture of a typewritten message posted on IG? The Q.F.T.C Award - for Most Problematic Member is for them, and I hope their own QFTC proclamation awaits. Winner: @111 Runner Up: @Xenoblade 3 Other nominees: @ivory almond, @Strangelove, @wilting daisy Perhaps this is a member who is no stranger to the mod queue or one that maybe you think deserves to have their unhinged posts moderated before public view.

Pin Up Galore vs Wayamaya

Earlier tonight, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet a pair of fans while out in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Greatest vs Trash Magic

Is it this? @1:23 -

It’s official! She’ll be performing on June 4th, pre-sale for I-Days & LiveNation subscribers on December 13th and general sale the following day. I’ll update the OP and move this thread into the Shows section x

A&W vs Born to Die

Lana Del Rey will be headlining I-Days Milano music festival held at Ippodromo SNAI in Milan, Italy on June 4th, 2024.

I did too Can’t leave our good sis in the dark! Xx

Paging @annedauphine, come back from your Voluntary Leave x

Lana Del Rey will be performing at Rock en Seine music festival held at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud in Paris, France on August 21st, 2024.

The music video for Alma Mater (feat. Lana Del Rey) by Bleachers has been released. The video stars Lana along with other stars such as Margaret Qualley and Clairo.

Looks like she’ll be in the video! She’s featured in the poster x

I had a dream last night that Lana announced her second poetry book in an Instagram post. She wrote that instead of attempting to rewrite the drafts from Iron Gates, she started from scratch and wrote an entire new book while she was on tour over the summer. She noted certain cities & states that fueled a lot of inspiration for her including Alabama, Burgettstown PA, Charleston WV, Charlotte NC, Columbia MD, Dallas TX, and Indiana(?) The caption in total was really long. She also noted that she would try to revisit Iron Gates one day, but was so excited to share her new collection with us as soon as she could. This new book was titled North Star and was being released through an indie Japanese publisher (it started with an U, something like Umaruane) and she put the link to preorder from the publisher’s website in her bio, but the site was all in Japanese. North Star would also have an audiobook edition with accompaniment from Jack Antonoff again. The post featured a video with the audiobook version of the title track of the book set to a visual of different scenery she had taken while travelling on tour with an orangeish vintage noise filter overlay. The poem was reminiscent of the speech she gave at her Dallas show and featured the line “never forget to let passion be your true North Star” from her speech and talked about Icarus as she did in her recent interview. Her voice in the recording was very light and delicate. The instrumental accompaniment was beautiful and similar to those on Violet but more lush. I then made the pre-release thread for it and member Embach was the first to reply lol. Within seconds, the thread already had multiple pages of everyone freaking out about the release. Some people were also speculating she might tour in Japan soon because of the publisher. Her announcement also gained her 11 million new followers on Instagram skkk. Anyway, just thought I’d share this dream with you all. I’ve been longing for another new poetry release from Lana, so I’m hoping this dream was a bit of foreshadowing that one comes soon

Saw you all’s fave masochist last night xx I wouldn’t consider myself a Sky super-fan, more of just a standard/casual fan - I like the music she’s put out and there’s a few unreleased tracks I have on my rotation as well. I bought a ticket since they were inexpensive and a friend was going, so I thought I’d check out the show. I wasn’t really sure what to expect since I’ve never seen her live before and have only watched a few of her live performance videos awhile back. Despite having no expectations, she definitely exceeded whatever I would have had lol. I thought it was a great performance. Her vocals were incredible (I guess the nebuliser works) and honestly may be one of the best live vocals I’ve heard in person? I was pleasantly surprised by that, especially since some of her songs seem like they’d be hard to perform live. She had a great setlist - 22 songs that spanned over 1 hour & 40 minutes. It included some unreleased gems such as Guardian, Innocent Kind, All My Lovers Die, and Pretty Dull! She also sang Ghost which she hasn’t been singing at all of her recent shows, but it’s one of my personal favourites so I was really happy to hear that one. I also teared up at Sad Dream, and it seemed Sky did too. Otherwise, she seemed overall in good spirits, smiling and giggling between songs. Nothing really went wrong - there were two songs she restarted after the first few seconds, once due to still drinking water and not being ready and the second due to technical issues with her in-ears. Both quickly handled and wasn’t much of a bother at all. The only possible complaint I could’ve had about the show is that the stage lighting was rather dark, but that seems to be the case with her recent shows. She’s also been wearing shades as well, so maybe the darkness helps her feel more comfortable in front of the crowd. In the end, I thought it was a great set and I’d definitely catch her again the next time she swings by my area. If you’re interested in Sky, I think the performance is definitely worth attending! x

I have soooo many lyric-related questions I’d love to ask her.. or even just share my thoughts and interpretations of her lyrics and see what she has to say about them. Her incredible writing and the interpretive meanings I found within her songs are what initially drew me into her music above anything else. As a fellow songwriter myself, I love to interpret her lyrics to see what I can make of them - how her life stories and personal thoughts can be strung together into beautiful lyrics and melodies to construct an art piece in the form of a song. Of course, I consider her the greatest songwriter I’ve ever had the honour to listen to, and I would luvvv to just sit down with her quietly for awhile and tap into her brain when it comes to her writing process and the meaning behind her lyrics. Would truly do anything for that lol x

Wow, this almost seems like a connected double meaning that envelops itself - that last bit about “falling to disaster through the combination of a personal failing and circumstances with which they cannot deal” is sort of the same idea I suggested about her not being able to find the beauty in her hardships and only being able to see them as the harsh tragedy that they are. So, this idea of “Greek” being used to imply both a metaphor for beauty and for the definition of a Greek tragedy connect with one another and make the line even more multifaceted! She can’t find the Greek metaphorical connection within the tragedy, because the tragedy itself is already Greek… Amazing x

It’s in print -

I love that line, but it certainly is complex. Here’s my simple personal take on it, especially with the context of her using Greek mythology and poetry as metaphors in her writing. It seems Lana finds comfort in metaphors (as do I, I love a good metaphor) and will often use them to sort of “soften a blow” of a hardship she’s sharing in her music, poetry, etc. For example, writing “they said to say yes but I did and I don’t like how it turned out” after taking influence from the Ulysses reading with the repetition of the word “yes” in the final lines. Or, in this interview noting how people have been burnt by certain paths they take in life, and after rather nonchalantly mentioning that she hasn’t yet had children after previously expressing she hoped to one day, says she’ll keep exploring life’s opportunities until something melts her wings - like Icarus after flying too close to the sun. In these two recent examples, it seems she’s using references to Greek mythology and poetry to process and understand her own life & emotions and find comfort in the connections. So, in that line when she says “they say there’s irony in the music, it’s a tragedy, I see nothing Greek in it” I take it to mean that she’s unable to find the beauty or the art in the hardships that have happened (such as the loss of her family, friends, other details she shares in the song) & while others may find irony in her music and view her sadness to be beautiful or artistic in a way, it’s not how she sees it this time. She can’t find that comforting tie in to relate her own story to that of an artistic myth or beautiful poem, so it is only what it is - just a tragedy. To simplify - I see nothing Greek in it = I see no beauty/comfort in it I think that’s also why in Fingertips she says everything sort of plainly/straight to the point especially in the latter half of the song following that line. The lyrics are quite diaristic. Instead of taking her thoughts and stories and attempting to string them into beautiful/artistic lyrics to soften them, she’s just telling them as they are. She can’t find that beautiful connection, she can only see the harsh tragedy. As the song progresses, the lyrics get more and more raw - until we reach the very final lines of the song where she ties in Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love & beauty, which is perhaps her final attempt of trying to find the beauty in an ugly situation. I hope I explained that all in a way that makes sense. But either way, that’s just my own interpretation - I love that lyric, so I’d love to hear any other interpretations as well x

She’s known to order a myriad of things! Here’s some recent ones I jotted down because I wanted to try them lol - Tall hot matcha latte with oat milk - September 2023 Venti London fog with oat milk & one pump of vanilla - July 2023 Venti Peppermint Mocha with Nonfat Milk - November 2022 Matcha latte with whole milk - November 2022 S’mores latte - December 2021 & here’s the photo I believe you’re talking about from behind the scenes of her Harper’s Bazaar shoot - though it’s unclear if the drinks are hers or her team’s x

24 vs I Can Fly

It seems she's been interested in Greek mythology & poetry lately and has applied the stories as metaphors for her own life. Here, by referencing Icarus and his wax wings that melted by flying too close to the sun. Earlier this year, she attended a reading of Ulysses which was inspired by The Odyssey, and after hearing the reading she wrote a message in a guestbook that suggested that the book's final line featuring the repetition of the word "yes" was how she attempted to live her own life which left her feeling dissatisfied. Even in Fingertips she writes, "They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy, I see nothing Greek in it" & “Call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me” I'm interested to see how Greek mythology & poetry influence her upcoming work too x

It's giving fig tree~
