The majority of North Koreans are impoverished and held hostage by their own government. You know what happens when they try to leave? They get shot. And, even on the off chance they do successfully escape, their families are gathered up and sent off to labor camps. I understand the point you're attempting to make, but choose a better example next time.

Remember when being a stan was considered a bad thing? We should go back to that.

E x a c t l y She was already going full steam with the promo on an already finished album. And it was making to be my favorite promo cycle of hers yet (I especially liked the Apple mini concert), but then she decided to fuck off around January. If she merely wanted a break, she would've taken it before starting a new promo cycle, not in the freaking middle of it. I don't understand what is so hard to understand about that.

Lmao, of course not. That shit's just part of the kayfabe.

Behind-the-scenes of the Cellophane video: She really is incredible

The second one with her looking down is beautiful

I mean, of all the Vogues out there, it's Vogue Italia that gets these covers. Not surprised high fashion fans are ripping into it. If this were for US Vogue, no one would bat an eye lmao.

Legit literary publishers didn't want anything to do with her shit, and self-publishing was too much effort for sis.

Idk the rest of the book, or Moby at all tbh, but from this and the Lana story, dude clearly has/had a habit of chasing his middle-aged ass around barely legal women and characterizing a handful of hangouts as full on dating. I doubt any unawareness and remorse on his part and live for Lana leaving him blue-balled twice.

Lmao, jfc Low key, I'm pretty sure the NFR release fuckery has more to do with this church/cult shit than anything

It's also not like being born into a generations-deep poverty cycle with no practical role models or hope of getting out, which is the reality of the particular kind of poverty she was cosplaying. Oh no, I definitely include privilege in that naivete. I try not to assume an intentional ignorance and concious apathy... but I guess it'd almost be meaner to imply that she's not that deep of a thinker. But I've known people who've done outreach things, usually through religious avenues, and while you'd think those experiences would widen their perspectives, a lot of these people somehow manage to keep those same blinders on the whole time they're there and after they're done. My feeling with these things (and especially so with mission trips to impoverished places) is that they're more for the people doing the helping than the people being helped. Like there's a strong paternalistic attitude that keeps them from looking at marginalized populations on a deeper level. Edit: Fuck, absolutely botched the quote splitting - bear with me everyone! Edit 2: fixed it

I usually associate "mass" solely with Catholicism, so I had assumed she was at a different church. But I don't see Catholics being cool with people showing up to mass dressed like that. Less the poor fashion, and more the lack of modesty and humility. I think, above all, Lana/Elizabeth is incredibly sheltered and naive. To the point of looking outside of her own perspective and experiences for purposes other than fantasy being totally foreign to her.

Edit: Sorry, I was being harsh. Just going through a thing right now.

I think she has a lot of contempt for her fans these days.

Put Me In a Movie disturbs me, and not in an intriguing or fun way.

She's done this more than once?

She's just being provocative and enigmatic ok

I'm not super educated on Christianity, but wasn't Jesus all about hanging with the poor and undesirables, and generally looked down on the rich? Or he at least pitied the rich because he saw excess wealth as morally-compromizing?

It's like a Disney song's older sister, or a really close cousin that grew up in the same home as said Disney song but generally has more life experience.

Speaking for myself, I would've been fine with a legitimate "drought" for like a year or few and then followed by a cohesive album release, rather than what's she done here. To me, it's that she released a solid single, followed shortly by another solid single, and then an interview talking about the album, along with poetry and sailing and flying and whatever, and a perfume campaign, and a few performances, and another single... only to drop everything for nearly half a year. If she wanted the break - which is perfectly fine, and frankly what I had expected - then she should've taken the break between albums and not right after going full-steam into a new album release without actually releasing it. It's kind of a cock-tease, to put it crudely. She probably had the lyrics lined up for a while and was itching to record it, so they did it first thing.

I've had Jealous Girl stuck in my head for at least a day now. Only, I haven't actually listened to the song in ages, so it's more just random parts of it playing on top of each other.
