getdrunk

To try to put it all together in one explanation; there was apparently a discrepancy of sorts with Lana's management and Bradley's participation in her music videos, something about getting axed from NA or what-have-you. Bradley had a Twitter meltdown and posted scathing and cryptic tweets that apparently had to do with Lana. It was disclosed that it wasn't about her, and was rather about Jeffree Star. Porcelain Black said otherwise, saying that it was actually about Lana. And for anyone who takes online-drama with a grain of salt, they simply don't care for him be it his looks or personality.
 
I don't give a shit about the tweets, really, nothing new was said that wasn't heard from 85% of the critics should it be directly disclosed that it was about Lana and not via word-of-mouth. I could say it had to do with Peaches from the Candy Cat Too in LA, I wouldn't know—because I'm not Bradley, Lana, or Porcelain, and there are all these stories and no one has any support other than their own take on what happened and whether or not their perspective asserts their devotion/fandom.
 
The two clearly worked things through if Lana's associating with him, and I fully stand by it not because I take a liking to Bradley and the two undeniably have on-camera chemistry, but also because it is a great demonstration of the power of forgiveness and Lana's fostering of goodwill. Oh, and it's also a testament to the fact that shit just happens with friendships and interpersonal relationships and everyone's guilty as fuck for saying something they shouldn't at one point or another in general, and not being Bradley doesn't make anyone exempt from that fact.
 
And it's actually quite sad that again, there's a lot of hate coming from fans. I would say it's ironic with Lana's fanbase, but it's not ironic anymore, it's just sad. That's still another human being. I'm not saying we should all get together and have a jerk-circle about Bradley, but it really wouldn't kill anyone to just leave the antics of 2012/13 behind, especially because it doesn't involve anyone enough to be digging it all back up with such vehemence; negative vehemence, at that.
 
It's cool if people don't dig Bradley, people can have their opinions, but we can at least save the shit-talk for a bad movie-sequel or an underwhelming cheeseburger.
 
ANYWAY.
 
Have any West Coasters given their take on what the "saying" might be that Lana's referring to? I'm actually interested to see if there's any that exist that she might say, or if she has one of her own for the sake of the song; like, in NY, we have "Fuhgeddaboudit," (well, more-so Brooklyn, but still.)

Omg if it wasn't for lana no one would even know who he is.

jfc

Bradley having another meltdown.

funny how most of you little minions hated me, for a reason that was false, now you're all back to loving me. sad little children. Quote: @brvdleysoileau 20m
you guys gotta grow up and learn to think for yourselves

If anyone thinks this is legit...
 
I don't understand the people who want her to /still/ remaster old stuff and go back to her pre-BTD sound. It was understandable in the summer of 2012 but it's 2014 now and she's /clearrrrrly/ doing new stuff.

Not to totally derail and make this all about personality types, but ISFP typically forgive people very easily, especially when they feel they have a connection to them and so the relationship is worth keeping.  This could explain her being friends with that bitch who dissed her SNL performance and now says "no one does it quite like miss Del Rey" and working with Dan Auerbach after he openly predicted her fame would be short lived. Funny, because she also said somewhere that she's "not as interested in flip-floppers", and clearly that isn't true.
 
Ok. Done being over-analytical.

it's interesting to see the Swallow hate, bc I find him to be verrrry similar to Lana, personality-wise. In interviews, if you can get past how horribly unintelligent he sounds and the fact that he says "like" more than any 13 y/o girl you'll ever meet, I think you will find that they have more in common than what might meet the eye. Imo this is partially why they compliment each other's aesthetics so well. He doesn't just fulfill Lana's "bad boy" description from many songs, I think they are genuinely in sync in their abilities to look graceful and be very attuned to their environments. Someone wrote how he seems like such a poser sometimes - and I agree - but have you not heard very similar things said about tha queen???
 
(if you're familiar with myers briggs type indicator, I'd type them both as ISFP)
 
In an interview about his tats, Bradley says "I don't really have a lot of meaning behind my tattoos" (so, visually inspired a la Video Games) and then goes on to explain the one exception: He was struck by a Suicidal Tendencies song War Inside My Head (his forehead tat lol) and says those words represent the constant ~war in his mind~ between doing right and wrong. IDK moments like that really scream Lana Del Rey to me.. but obviously still a little different. Like Lana Del Rey crammed inside a douchey tween skater boi who doesn't care to seem half as professional. And a touch more confident.
 
Random I know but I had to post this in case nobody would be interested by it 

I can't find the interview right now (but it was on Lana Del Rey Brasil's Facebook page) but she did say in an interview that she just likes when things are easy and when people are nice to her and she doesn't care why they're nice to her. That sounds really shallow and really sad.

What I was going to write:
It makes me sad for Soileau that people have such negative opinions on him. Him and Lana are clearly fine, isn't that saying something? If he really was targeting her in his rant, I find it truly amazing that she has forgiven him to the point of having him be a part of yet another video. He stated that his rant was targeted at Jeffree Star, whom he was in an aggressive feud with over Porcelain Black just around the time of his rant. Soileau called the person he was targeting a "speed fairy." I definitely don't get this ("speedy") vibe from Lana. His target is "on drugs floating around L.A." Lana wasn't even living in L.A. at the time, she was based in the U.K. And on drugs..? I truly find that doubtful. But then again, how would I know. And also the "everyone that meets you fucking hates you" .... Again, I have a very hard time relating this to Lana. Having just listened to a Jeffree Star track "no talent diva" kinda makes sense 
 
But! Having read Porcelain Blacks twitter rant at her ex (they love those rants) - she clearly outed his ass. According to her, his tweets were targeting Lana due to bitterness over being axed from the National Anthem video... And furthermore, she claims (somewhere else) that he was abusive and violent towards her... Which breaks my heart.
 
What's my point? Hmm. I have none. Except for the fact that I guess Soileau did have it out for Lana? Which makes me very   seeing that she's working with him again. AND (sorry this is long, but I dunno where to find that "spoiler" function) the drug related accusations make me feel like a massive, glimmering question mark.

Not according to Porcelain. 
But even if you still believe his story about his tweets being about Jeffree Star, they're incredibly bigoted if interpreted that way. (Despite his gender-bending I believe Jeffree identifies as male. Bradley refers to the object of his ire as "she"/"her", a "bitch", a "speed fairy" and "a no talent diva".) Either way Swallow's an asshole.

tbh Brad is attractive (hold me to that pls) but at the same time he gives off the most ludicrous poser vibe and that's what makes him disgusting y'all feel me on this

Interesting choice of male lead  I'm actually very excited to see her using Bradley again cause even though he might be an asshole in real life, he fits the aestethics of her videos so well. 

I can't believe she started the era like this...This era might not have anything to do with death or the darkside of life, instead it might be living life free, without a care in the world...kind of like Ride but less dark...id be here for that tbh.

She doesn't have to completely change key things about herself, like her image and what inspires her, to have moved forward sonically with the new album. I think the pictures are quite naturally gorgeous and support the "stripped down yet beautiful" description she gave her new music.

UGHHH BRADLEY NOOOO
 
lol Andy Mandy best not use that aspect ratio for Tropico again

Is she trying to make him look like Kurt

I don't understand the hate for Shaun.

Lana Del Rey Hot And Wet See Through Top - Lana Del Rey recently on the beach got quite wet.Yes on the beach one go to swim and enjoy we know.But Lana looked quite in naughty mood on the beach this time.Lana was seen wearing a white transparent top and from her wet top she did not shy away from showing her strapless bra.It was all for display.Though it was a tease for all of us.As you know we wanted to see a lot more Lana.Lana looked hot and a true seductress in that for sure.All this happened when she was shooting for a music video this week

 

 

IM STILL LAUGHING THAT VIDEO IS KILLLING MEEE

omg at this video

i think @@lola summed it up pretty well tbh. if i felt emotionally attracted to everyone i felt sexually attracted to, my heart would be a mess. I'm not saying I want to run off with bradley, marry him and pop out a few kids. i'm just saying i wanna fuck him

Don't forget about Courtney Love.
 
 
And after some time she tweeted a photo, writing, "What a gorgeous group of friends in my green room @RossButler @MRodOfficial @@lanadelrey @AllisonMelnick love u all xc." 
 

 
The thing is she's proving everyone who judged her wrong.

Photogs just make me think of like, Perez Hilton, tbh. The whole "I CAN DO WHAT I WANT AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME" shtick is identical, and annoyin' as fuck.

I somehow would've loved for Lana to have been the one who cut the dude, though -- even if that would've meant bad rep.
 
"LET ME FUCKING DO WHAT I'M FUCKING DOING!"

I think she might have put on an accent when she was younger and it just became a lot like that. She sounds like a 50s movie star with a little rich girl from the jersey suburbs and southern flair

she has an american accent but she toys with it a bit, adding touches of 'british' elements to infuse a sense of ~sophistication, elegance, culture, intellect, etc i think 
 
gaga does it too, but it doesn't sound nearly as natural
