Her story… what does it mean… x

I can’t wait to see what she’ll be singing - whether it be an Elvis Christmas song, a holiday classic, or an Elvis classic. Lana has suchhh a good voice for holiday songs and I still hope she’ll do a whole album of them one day. I adore her covers of both Silent Night & I’ll Be Home for Christmas (& her unofficial Santa Baby cover too of course) xx

November has been so bountiful for us Lipsters.. the month of giving thanks indeed ma’am

Heroin vs Wild at Heart

I think it’s really cool that of all things that the tunnel could be turned into, it’s going to be for a place that centers around music history. I feel like it was somehow destiny x

Is This Happiness vs If I Die Young

Hello, everyone! In celebration of Lana's Grammy nominations, I am here to present to you all 80 new emoticons that have been added to our library. This update includes 40 new Lanacons and 40 new Misc-cons. When it came to choosing these, I selected from ones posted in the Smiley Requests thread, ones I see used in threads frequently, and ones that I thought would be fun to have. I know this update has been longggg overdue, so I hope the amount I added made up for the amount of time it took to get these all set for you! I hope you enjoy the new emoticons. If there were emoticons that you've been wanting added that didn't make it into this update, please be sure to post them in the request thread for me to consider for the next update! I promise I'll work harder to include new emoticons more frequently upon request. Happy emoting! xx New Lanacons New Misc-cons

Officially a nom I made a thread for her official nominations that I will continue to update as more are announced -

Lana Del Rey has been nominated for the 2024 Grammy Awards in 5 categories. The awards ceremony will take place on February 4th, 2024 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Her nominations include: Album of the Year - Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd Best Alternative Music Album - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd Song of the Year - A&W Best Alternative Music Performance - A&W Best Pop Duo/Group Performance - Candy Necklace

Here's some! Lana & Lukas previously did a duet of Find Yourself at Lana's show in Nashville in 2019 during the NFR tour -

Last night, Lana Del Rey visited Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. She joined Lukas Nelson onstage for a performance of “Find Yourself” along with Nikki Lane and Meg Mcree.

The note above hers is from a fan named Abdi who signed it as Abdi Del Rey a month after Lana signed her note. His IG is abdaddy x

A little more context as to why she may have chosen to write that - while at Sweny’s, she viewed a James Joyce reading of Ulysses. The last line of the book features a repetition of the word “yes” and perhaps the constant saying of “yes” resonated with her, inspiring her message x

Perhaps reading too much into it, but I wonder if she adopted a personal philosophy to always say “yes” to see what would happen in life even if she felt that she she would have rather said no. I took notice that when she met fans after her show in Wichita 2019, she literally said the word “yes” to everyone. When fans would ask “can we take a selfie” or “can you sign my vinyl” or “can I take a polaroid of you” etc, she always would respond with a smile and a simple “yes” I remember noticing that then and thinking it was interesting how that’s how she would respond. It was very sweet. However, maybe in other things in life, she’s also always responded with “yes” even when she didn’t want to. Perhaps that reason also ties into why she decided to sign her message with her given name rather than LDR. The message also reminds me a bit of her poem LA Who Am I to Love You - “I left my city for San Francisco and I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's not going as I planned. I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter and promised myself that I would stay, but it’s just not going the way that I thought“ Either way, I would love another poetry book. I always love reading her thoughts about life, whether about her own or about life at large x

Cool little momento someone sent me - on this day, she stopped into Sweny’s Pharmacy and left a note in their guestbook that reads “They said to say yes - But I did - and I don’t like how it turned out. Best of luck to those who live in the moment. Love, Elizabeth Woolridge Grant”

Sad Girl vs California

To clear up confusion, it doesn’t matter the encryption extension of the link of the image file, it’s that the LanaBoards functionality to embed images is encoded in http meaning that if your browser is blocking http/insecure content, the function will not work. To be able to use this function, your browser must allow http/insecure content. Many users are experiencing issues after a recent Chrome update where this content is automatically blocked within the browser settings, and users must now manually set the browser to allow x

So for the recent issues some of you may be experiencing with auto-embedding pictures & links, liking posts, using the @ feature, etc - The reason why this might not be working is because your browser is blocking “insecure content” aka things encoded with http rather than https. While LanaBoards as a site has a SSL script, these certain features are encoded with http rather than https, which marks the site as partially insecure. There was a recent update with Chrome that automatically blocked “insecure content” aka http features, which has prevented many users from using the site features encoded with http. To fix this, I recommend following the instructions in this post. About a year ago, I actually tried to re-encode these features with https rather than http after users voiced concern about seeing the partially insecure warning, but it ended up breaking the features for everyone, so I reverted it. At the time I reached out to both Invision Power (forum software) and my host company (SSL script provider) but unfortunately this was fruitless in solving the problem. Invision Power was helpless (their support team is the worst rip) and while my host company put in a lot of effort to help me, it still didn’t solve the issue as it does seem the issue is more on IP’s side since they provide the forum features that are then encoded. I reached out to Invision Power again recently after everyone voiced issues about liking posts, but they haven’t been very communicative with me. Hopefully I can provide a permanent solution for everyone soon, but for now the best fix is to make sure your browser isn’t blocking “insecure content” aka http encoded features for LanaBoards. That, or using another browser that does not block this sort of content such as Firefox or Safari x
