I think Brite Lites is about Lana leaving her lover because he isn't good enough for her, he doesn't have the star quality that she possesses. Maybe he is also unappreciative of her "look at me look at me" "I gave you everything"

Hmm, it's been a while since i've read a post in which i am in complete disagreement with every single aspect and detail, as well as the way in which the opinion has been formed.
 
It seems to me that you're projecting your thoughts and values on aesthetics onto her process, and assuming that she was attempting to approach her music videos in the same way you would have made them. How do you know her point was to a) take into account cinematographic considerations and quality in the same way that a director of photography on a film set would, and b) "convince the viewer that the overall odd scene is taking place in an ancient, somehow vintage-ish, setting"?
 
I've always taken her videos as a melding of old and new, past and present, and i think that point comes through pretty clearly when watching them. There is a considerable span of time and culture that is seen throughout all her videos. I don't see any evidence anywhere that she is trying to hide or distort time/era/place in the shots of herself. Also, did you forget, perhaps the most telling and obvious example, Video Games, which is replete with footage of skaters, paparazzi shots of young actress Paz de la Huerta, and, of course, contemporary video games?
 
As for the hooker wigs, you may have missed this detail, but Lana Del Rey and kitsch are inextricable.
 
I've said this a few times on here before and i'll say it again because it pertains exactly to this: Lana Del Rey is a quintessential postmodern artists. That whole "vintage" aesthetic that people love to reduce her to is stifling and, most importantly, not even accurate--there is no way that someone like her could have existed in any other time but the present. She's not just rehashing old tropes. I wouldn't be here right now if that's what she was about.

Selfies

I've thoughtful this long and hard before lmao
 
You know I'd open garageband and sing endless covers of various songs
And record homemade videos of all her demos and email them to myself
And tweet something mean about lady Gaga
 
"fucking stop trying to make a collaboration with @ladygaga happen u little c*nts I h8 her x"

I love the homemade videos the are so interesting and so unique like no other artist would do that

oh i totes agree with ya!
i just wanted to express another side to the analysis, give it different viewpoints like: mike wanted her too do well but she just got a bit crazy with the fame thing and he's just like shit get me outta here!

In all seriousness, if I could be Lana for one week, I would:
- Leak all my songs and videos in the highest quality possible, including all my old DIY videos, MySpace tracks, and material on file with the US copyright office
- Reveal the identity and full back story of K
- Hire Trash Magic to do the cover art for my next project
- Give Madrigal a complete production chronology
- Give SitarHero a complete history of my relationships and any references to them in my songs
- Record an album with Monicker in an old Hollywood mansion
- Answer all of evilentity's questions about my life and career before "Video Games"
- Give a private concert at evilentity's house and pay for travel and accommodations for all prominent LanaBoards members past and present to attend
 
Oh, and fire Ben Mawson.

I finally finished reading all of this... and I am not so sure anymore that I am who I am. In fact, I am doubting everything about life right now.

Tbh I am 999% sure that correspondence from Lizzy to May is fake. It all sounds way too convenient with the "other woman" thing and all the references to K and Ray (after the so-called "Rayse" early mix surfacing recently). Plus the writing style sounds a bit immature and not as eloquent as I'd expect from Lizzy. And I hope to god she knows the different between to and too.

So this might be nothing, but your post really got me thinking. So I decided to google 'I knew lizzy grant in boarding school' thinking I wouldn't find anything probably- I was wrong. It's nothing big, but from what I read this person says they knew lana in boarding school. They are dishing anything big and it sounds sincere
 
"Who would have thought the girl who used to sign around DH dorm would one day be on SNL."
Can anyone tell me what that means?
Anyway, here's the link.

To me, at least, it really doesn't seem like it--sounds completely fabricated.

I LOVE it when I don't have to re-format. But let me throw MM a vote down, just for you...
