Elle

New lyrics:
Carry me up them stairs
With my white socks on
And my pretty song
Like my blue nail polish
What is all this?
You said of the mess upstairs
Don't be scared

Daddy dearest
You know how I like to take trips
Pops first stops at the K-Mart
Buy me my peach lipgloss
Cigarettes and lollipops
For our trip across the USA

We're gonna party like it's 1949
We're in the Pontiac from July to July
Gonna see it all before he says goodbye
Gonna party like it's 1949
 
Carry me up the stairs
With my white socks on
And my blonde hair long
You like my pin-up bodice
And the solace
That comes with the midnight air
And my icy stare
 
It's the clearest
When it's me and him alone
He's stops, he talks about all the ways he used to
Dinerettes and soda pops
For our trip across the USA
 
We're gonna party like it's 1949
We're in the Pontiac from July to July
Gonna see it all before he says goodbye
Gonna party like it's 1949
 
Daddy likes Blackpool,
Pleasure beach and road stops,
Me, I like the Swiss Alps souvenir gift shops
Late night, midnight, radio show talks
Him and me, a big jailbreak
 
Ponytail and lollipops
Dinerettes and sodapops
New blue bathing suit
Ruched tops and Cadillacs
Blue LA Carte Docks
Hopscotch, hot talk
Alabama hard knocks
Motel brass locks.
 
I'm completely in love with this song. The final version is so beautiful. I always loved the first version, and this is so lovely to hear. The new lyrics are fabulous too.. "my blonde hair long." So Lizzy!
This song is also very close to my heart as it's an "Our Song" with someone very, very special to me.

The amount of money put into this project converts to nearly 7.5k in USD.

You know what I would give to have had even a small fraction of that $7.5k when my cat was dying of cancer and I was barely scraping up enough money just to afford consultation appointments to find out what was wrong with her so I could have ended her suffering sooner?
 
You know what I would give to have had a fraction of that money just to have helped family members of mine afford treatments to help ease their agony and get them comfortable while they endured terminal illness?
 
And yet I have to see someone use that much money (that wasn't even theirs to use to begin with,) to pay off a Mac computer and a Netflix subscription, among other luxuries, and chalk up such irresponsible financial decisions as "essential to human existence." I think everyone continued to lead quality lives just fine without DVDs being shipped to their houses in 1998 and their favorite shows being streamed directly to their devices since 2007.
 
I thought the case of Ethan Couch would have been the first and last time I had to hear about the poppycock diagnosis of "affluenza"; clearly it is contagious and exists in various strains.
 
You know what I did when my Spotify Premium subscription was up and I couldn't afford to pay another month? I didn't renew it.
 
You know what I did when my PlayStation Plus subscription was up and I couldn't afford to pay for another month? I didn't renew it.
 
You know what I did when I quit my job in November under the false pretense that I had another job lined up, and couldn't afford Christmas gifts because I was unemployed? I didn't spend money I didn't have, and I told everyone not to worry about me for Christmas.

I especially did not use money given by people, who were customers expecting a product to be developed and distributed to them as promised, to pay off debts I racked up under my own accord.

As someone who suffers from depression, anxiety, and OCD, that open letter was absolutely cringeworthy to read, because I saw more investment in elaborate and outrageous excuses to justify irresponsibility, practically begging readers to say "Oh, I TOTALLY get that," than I saw investment in assuming full responsibility and remorse for letting one's personal issues cloud their judgment.

As the son of a business owner, and as a partner of a creative business, that open letter was absolutely cringeworthy to read, because under zero circumstances do you touch a single red cent of your customers' monies before you provide them absolutely 100% of your services. You do not touch a single red cent of your customers' monies before you provide them the quality product they paid for.

Putting the copyright legalities of the lyrics alone aside, as far as the use of pictures go, that money could have been used to pay artists to replicate photos or even contribute their own art for the project. I can already tag a handful of members on this forum who are talented and aspiring artists/graphic designers, and would have loved to contribute to this project for a small fee, or even for free, had they been asked or offered the opportunity.

He says he intends to refund everyone, but I have to chuckle at the advertising of snapbacks, as though his reputation as a seller has not been compromised in the slightest, and anyone who already lost money investing in the book, would be inclined to confidently put another dime into his business. Bite the bullet, try harder to find work, and actually earn the money that is going to be used to pay everyone back.

Even then, let's say that he gets a job where he is paid $9/hr. or better, and intends to put $200 aside out of each paycheck to pay off the debt his shenanigans caused him. If he is paid bi-weekly, he is only seeing a paycheck 26/52 weeks a year, which means that it would take him at least a year just to pay off $5.2k of what he owes everyone, adding on another 11.5 weeks to pay off the remaining $2.3k or so, if I am doing my math right.

With that kind of time-frame, I'd love to see how well he commits to this lofty attempt at redemption and compensation, as nice as the ideal sounds when you are looking at it through rose-colored glasses. It sounds like there is an overwhelming amount of customers to keep track of, and I'd be concerned that, eventually, he would lose track, and either forget people, or accidentally give people double or triple the amount they are owed.

I certainly hope he figures it out as soon as he puts his life, his values and his priorities in perspective, and I certainly hope everyone who invested in this failed project gets their money back, one way or another; and if the above theory is the most likely approach to each customer seeing their refund, they start thinking about if they are willing to wait that long, or intend to take other measures to get the refund they deserve. PayPal only handles claims within 180 days of the transaction so I wouldn't expect them to willingly rush to everyone's aid.

I also hope that the moderators have been considering how to possibly handle future situations like this, should another member attempt to use their fellow peers and their love for an artist to gain profit, and fail to carry out their obligation as a vendor/seller with the utmost integrity and consideration; and so it is not misunderstood (as I love and respect each of the mods here,) I am not saying "I hope" as a passive-aggressive jab. I am saying it as a genuine inquiry because as a fellow member here, the integrity of our community is just as important to me as I know it is to everyone else, no matter who was involved in this.

Underneath the layers of excuses and awkward attempts to persuade everyone into pity and understanding, this was still a scam like any other. Regardless of whether or not anyone involved could have used better judgment than to invest in a product, that didn't even at least make it past the prototype phase, friends and peers were manipulated by a member of our community, with whom they had entrusted a monetary investment. It is just as much of a display of poor character as it is when members here spread false rumors of unreleased music to garner attention, and not for the sake of a laugh or to make a point. We've had good members who have been banned for less and never got to explain themselves.

Good luck, guys.

YESSS that's exactly what I thought when I saw it

From the front, her hair looks very much like it does in this interview: 
 

I've officially taken my Lana obsession to the next level lol.
I've tracked down some pretty memorable outfits Lana has worn - the dress worn in the Ride video (as well as a few other appearances) and the shirt and skirt worn in the Born to Die cover shoot thanks to some posts in this thread.
The Ride dress and the shirt worn in the BTD shoot were relatively easy to find. I only found one of the BTD skirt, but I was lucky that it fit even though I was worried it might be too big. They were all for a great price too - I paid a little over $10 for the skirt & about same for the dress, but they were both out of the country, so shipping ended up costing more than the items themselves. I found the shirt for $20.
My photographer friend is going to do a shoot with me in a few days dressed in my BTD outfit, but I had a friend take some quick photos of me in the Ride dress with a flag so I can channel my inner Lana lol.           

scathing
 
but yes, i remember the sad realisation that the AKA project couldn't go on, however it still resulted in something positive as people (myself included) printed their own copies. Perhaps Moy could offer something similar and release the prints to people who paid for it so they can have the option to create their own somehow if they wish. After all this mess I feel it would at least make the situation a little less sour. Obviously they should receive financial reimbursement too, but like many others here, I can't help but get that sense this is not being taken care of with the sense of urgency it deserves.

"Heavy metal love of mine, I should have learned to let you stay" 

I don't know if this has already been posted but Wait For Life is (in my opinion) one of "her" best songs.

i actually love guns and roses.

Yikes there's another one of these hosted by tumblr user "lanadelreybook"
