yes, i am a hater     

yssss i love their stuff! the quality is actually rather good for the most part (imo), especially for the price. they use really interesting fabrics, put in a good amount of detail, etc. shipping is really fast (internationally) although its kind of expensive ($20) unless you spend $100 or more, then its $10. i usually just bookmark a bunch of stuff and save up and order it all at once so i get the discount on shipping 
 

Just three? What a shame. SMH
 
#1 definitely got my vote! I really liked the multiple vocal layers and he seemed to be hitting all the notes correctly.
#2 wasn't that bad either but had too many runs, which kept him from hitting the notes and it was just way too try hard. (Tip: Don't try too hard to change the songs melody and to show off and you'll do flawless on your next cover, if you don't win this round!)
#3 was really cute but I'd suggest you actually listen to the instrumental while recording

I want her to wear this at the Oscars.
 

 
She has to look regal when she accepts that statuette for "Best Original Song".
 
 

she talks about being the 'bad girl that knows better', having a chameleon soul, no fixed personality, etc and i think its all true. i remember reading an article about her where the interviewer describes her as being 'coltishly innocent' with a 'vampish sense of knowingness'. i think that's a pretty accurate description of her lyrics, her imagery, and her personality. its probably also why people are so quick to assume that she's inauthentic, or putting on some sort of an act -- she seems to be a bit of a walking contradiction. personally, i think lizzy grant was more 'coltish and innocent' while lana del rey is more 'vampish and knowing'. elizabeth (herself) is probably a combination of those things and more. 
 
i think her beauty and her broadly overactive mind have come to shape her the most. she seems highly sensitive and intuitive to people's energies, her surroundings, and her own thoughts. since she tends to remain quiet (or ~ contemplative), perhaps even stoic or detached, people have thus come to perceive her as being stuck up, arrogant, possibly even vapid, if not worse. maybe these reactions have pushed her into her own shell, or left her quite cynical? i think a large part of her insecurities come down to the misperceptions (and passive aggressions) that have probably followed her throughout life. the anxiety of first impressions must be monumental for her. ultimately, i think she loves being beautiful, but its probably an often bittersweet kind of thing. i think she's been able to see the darker depths of human nature as a result. i think she feels a bit defensive about her looks; part of her may even resent what it does to those around her. but paradoxically, i think she needs to feel beautiful. 
 
i think she's a sweet person. i think she cares deeply about others' happiness, despite potentially being a bit aloof? i mean, i remember reading david kahne write that she was always riding the subway late at night by herself. so her being ~weird~ and aloof may be due to a self reflective nature. i also think she's a bit of a narcissist (which unfortunately, seems to be correlated with introversion). this comes back to her dual personality: she often seems insecure, awkward, and nervous. yet she knows that she's beautiful. she knows that she's smart, and she knows that she's talented. i guess it might be hard to attain a sense of self-security when you've got no fixed personality. but she seems happier and more confident now? i think she's come to feel validation (for her talents, and artistic intuitions) -- and its completely warranted. i think she's happy because people are starting to see how great she is, and now she can work on any kind of project that pops up in her mind without worrying about how it'll be received. i mean, after pussy cola, she can kind of do whatever the fuck she wants right? 
 
i dunno what else to say at the moment. a lot of what i feel that i know about her may just be random, abstract comprehensions mixed with vague projections. i guess she seems rather complicated. or simple, maybe? i dunno. but despite everything, i like to think she's as real as they come in this particular industry. 
 
also, if any of you are into jungian typology, i'm fairly certain that she's an INFP

SO, I don't know if I will get killed for making this thread and stating what follows but I don't care.
1949 is one of my favorite Lana songs. It's one of the only ones I don't ever get tired of listening to or singing to. I just love it. I know that Hawaiian Tropic+1949=Every Man Gets His Wish, I love them three, but 1949 is just so beautiful...
Anyone feels the same way? Anyone knows anything on the background of this song?

i love it too!! i think it's her song that's most directly based on (the novel) lolita. it really tells a story well and the melody is so fresh. and the line "july to july" is genius!

I pretty much feel the same like you all about their albums! Their first offering was great, but the second record wasn't as moving as their debut album.
 
I have great memories of making out with a gorgeous blue-haired boy with xx being the soundtrack to our fooling around

we need an eye roll tbh

i think? lmao i just saw it earlier today and died 
 

 
omg i luv how fat he/she is

@@Philomene Oh wow, such a coincidence!! Really hope she gets the ones with the pearls too, then!

This is by them !@@elllipsis

Just randomly found these and idegaf I want Lana to wear them
 

Found them here. And these are also cute, a bit more Lolita-ish.

I have a new theory
 
"drinking piss and pepsi"

and we all know which won that, the simpler, more obvious one.

People are just jealous cause they know that with all the money and injections in the world they won't look even half as good as Lana.
