  1. Oh yeah, I forgot about Yayo. But that was only one song. There are a few on the possible tracklist. And yeah, I need new songs too!! Yes! The black and white effect gives it class and meaning. Noo! The black and white effect gave it emotion!
  2. Yeah, I was crazy over Hannah Montana when I was eight. I got a pillow of her and it's in my bedroom and she stares at me every night... it's creepy... And I only started liking this kind of music last year.

  4. You're not the only one. And it is more embarrassing for me because I bet I am younger than you and I am suppose to have a better memory. I'm just as bad as my fifty-year-old mother... Anyway, I honestly have to thank my cousin, because if it wasn't for her showing me Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl, then I wouldn't have become a KatyCat. And if I wouldn't have become a KatyCat, I wouldn't have discovered Lolita (the book). And if I wouldn't have discovered Lolita, I would have had no idea who Lana is. Everything in my life is somewhat linked. Well, Katy Perry used to really sport Lolita fashion (her One of the Boys album cover's theme is Lolita. If you've watched the movies, you would see a definite connection) in 2008. And at first, I thought "Lolita" was a fashion brand, just a fashion brand. It wasn't until one night, around this time last year, that I looked it up and found a Wikipedia page, defining the novel extremely briefly. I was intrigued so I downloaded the sample from iBooks when I went to bed. I finished reading it in a couple of hours (I like to stay up late) and I wanted to continue reading it so on the next day, I found a PDF file of the full novel and downloaded it. I read the first forty or so pages on it but I then got fed up of reading it like that so I had been nagging Mum to take me to the library so I could "borrow a Katy Perry biography" - I wouldn't dare tell her the book I really wanted to borrow; an old, crazily controversial, outright inappropriate and disgusting (to many, but not to all) novel as Lolita! Luckily there is a self-serve borrowing system at the library so I could take that book home without a soul but mine knowing. The only problem was how was I to read it and keep it hidden from the world? I did somehow manage to do this but I told a few friends. Oh, and one thing I must say, I had already knew of Lana's name, to be honest. I already knew of Cola because of a KatyCat friend on Twitter @ArabKittenOra liked Lana as well and another user she followed who's username I think was @lanaspepsipussy (I don't know if you're on here. If you are, WOW and I was @kewlkatycat or @thekatykat4eva then if you still remember. Lol it's been a very long time) and she was a Lana fanI. I had found out why this "Lana" had a "Pepsi pussy" because I listened to the beginning of Cola. But I think I thought it was too slow (I didn't even like Katy Perry's ballads) and whatnot and I also didn't like songs with titles that are not a phrase from the chorus (that has obviously changed). Ages later, maybe around July or August, I had looked at Lolita's Wikipedia page again. But I searched it in the Wikipedia search bar and it came up with a lot of different terms. One of them was a song by an artist called "Lana Del Rey". That name rang a bell - that time I heard Cola. I thought I'd look it up on YouTube to hear how it sounds and I fell in love with it. I downloaded it on a free music downloader app, where I download all my digital songs, and I would always listen to it, but that is all I would do. One day, I was looking up on YouTube to see if the Little Carmen song from Lolita (the part where Humbert and Lo are alone while Charlotte is at church and Lo is eating an apple and they're sitting on the couch) was real and if I could hear the full song. One of the results was a song called Carmen by that same artist, Lana Del Rey. I thought it was interesting seeming how closely Lolita and Carmen relate to the book. I had a listen and really liked the song. I think I may have downloaded it but I am not too sure. Then, one day, this Lolita fan account on Instagram had posted the picture of Lana with the metal Lolita glasses. I had commented, stating that I think the singer is a fan of Lolita, mentioning about the songs I had discovered and how they are quite Lolita-like. Another person commented and mentioned Off To The Races and how Lana sings light of my life, fire of my loins in it. I had also checked out this song. Now, I had been convinced that she was into Lolita but I hadn't looked any further into her other songs, I just listened to those three over and over again. But one time, after Katy's Roar had played on the radio and the radio host claiming the song to be number one in Australia at the time, they had played the remix of Summertime Sadness. I really liked the song and actually sung along to the chorus because I had learnt the lyrics. And then, when the song finished, the radio host said that the song was by Lana Del Rey, the artist I had just been introduced to and the artist who likes Lolita. I also downloaded Summertime Sadness, but the original version. And then a few days after, I thought I should check out her other songs and started downloading them all and I liked them all. And then I did a bit of research and watched some videos and I fell in love. And that is how I became a Lana fan in detail! So to answer the question of this thread, I became a Lana fan in August, 2013. I do not remember the exact date though. And I believe I will love Lana until the end of time
  5. You know you're a Lana Del Rey fan when you can barely hear the music (like a radio that's on low volume and is in the next room to you) and you can hear a Lana song when it comes on, or sometimes even sense it (is that normal? Because that's the case with me sometimes).

    Song On the Toilet

    No, I guess you could put a word after it. We're gonna party like it's 1949 on the toilet
  9. You can do that? And that's allowed?
  10. My problem is that Mum won't let me get it off iTunes.

    Song On the Toilet

    Hi, this game is really simple. You just have to get a title of a song or a lyric from a song and add "on the toilet" to the end of it. So for example: Down on the West Coast, they got a saying: if you're not drinking, then you're not playing on the toilet. Have fun!
  12. Nope. Do you own the Paradise Tour DVD?

  14. Hi guys, I've just been wondering if there is a way to purchase a physical copy of Tropico and if so, where would one be able to get it from? I have looked at JB Hi-Fi (for those who don't know that shop, it is a store that sells CDs, DVD, and electrical appliances like T.V.s, computers, et cetera) and I couldn't find it but that was not long after it was released.
  15. I used to always drink Coca-Cola, Lemonade or juice. I never drink water. I used to drink Pepsi and Mountain Dew sometimes when I'd go to KFC but not really anywhere else. Now, I definitely drink Pepsi more (I always choose it when I have the option) and I've been drinking Mountain Dew more (although it it rather rare to find). But I always choose Pepsi when I go to KFC because the Mountain Dew that we have here is energised and I have never found actual Diet Mountain Dew ever in my life so, yeah, I'd rather stick to Pepsi which is the actual drink Lana mentioned. I also got my cousin into Lana (I think she's her third-favourite artist) and whenever we see Pepsi we go crazy, sing "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" (but if we can't get away from the parents, we'd say something like "cat") and burst into laughter.
  16. Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant: Little Girls (Put Me In A Movie) or Mermaid Motel Born To Die: Off To The Races or Lolita Paradise: Cola Unreleased: Every Man Has His Wish, Hit and Run, Noir or Damn You Ultraviolence: West Cost, duh!
  17. Some of the possible tracks in the tracklist are old unreleased songs... And it comes out seven days before my birthday! OML, I know what I'll e getting for my birthday. I'll nag Mum to buy it
  18. Well Off To The Races is actually one of my favourite songs. Lolita, Off To The Races and West Coast (then a whole lot of unreleased songs that change all the time) are my favourites. Off To The Races was responsible (along with Lolita) for me joining this fanbase. It's really strange, Katy Perry is responsible for it because I discovered Lolita (the novel) by researching "Lolita glasses" which is what she called heart-shaped glasses. And if it weren't for me searching Lolita on Wikipedia one day (way after I was introduced to the book) and finding Lana's song, I wouldn't be here today. That is just long-story-short lol. But yeah, that is why Off To The Races is so important to me.
  19. So where exactly is Tropico going to premiere? Just in Los Angeles?

    Katy Perry

    ...because it was my favourite song of Lana's when i heard it for the first time. And "Imma ride or die" from Blue Jeans. Sorry, I was in a rush to finish my reply and didnt finish what I was trying to say.
  23. Born to Die: The Paradise Edition. I want Paradise and the Born to Die Bonus Edition but I doubt Mum will buy them. And I would rather get the vinyl record Paradise (I don't know if anywhere else in the world has it) but it's like $28 so I'm sure Mum won't get it... I'll have to persuade her which I am not good at doing on her. Hopefully she will give in to me... Fingers crossed. I need it!
