Don't give me false hope omg

The ocean Vs wayamama

Glastonbury was cancelled due to corona

Can we just be glad she grew out of wanting to be a thirty year old Lolita figure and not rehash the old debate of the ethics of it :|

Lmaooo and people be like "i want the old non PC Lana back :(" she'd be blacklisted so quick

If I'm in the right mindset Coachella slaps ngl

Inb4 September passes without a single post <3

Oh definitely, Nabokov's writing is unnervingly beautiful. I think the 1997 version of it erred too much on the side of romanticising it though - only a few moments (like when she smiles at Humbert and you see her braces, good god) take you out of it and make you realise how pathetic and disgusting he is. I don't think whoever it is in the video is talking about the whole unreliable narrator side of things though. Grown women saying they romanticise it is incredibly iffy lol, and I'd say the same of Lana's romanticising of it back in the day. It fits into a bigger picture of normalising pedophilia and the weird rewriting of Lolita as a love story that just happens to be between a child and an adult (which is how a lot of people who haven't read the book understand it)

If this is an indirect then it's a misguided one. I definitely don't think the way things get taken out of context on twitter and cancelled is good or productive and I think people who try to "cancel" people who read or enjoy the book Lolita are juvenile and oversensitive. That said people who openly admit to romanticising it are either equally juvenile, have sinister intentions, or both. The pedophilia and violence in Lolita isn't a "thorn" on an otherwise beautiful story, it's an intrinsic part of it

[quote name="Skid Row Cherry Pie" post="923055" timestamp="1592374974" i love that we're now at the part in 2020 where people on twitter are cancelled for enjoying classic literature, anyway Massive difference between legit saying you romanticise what's clearly meant to be a pedophilic abusive abduction / "relationship" and enjoying the book for different reasons lol. I know plenty of creators that have discussed Lolita and said they enjoy it for the writing, and no one tried to call them out

Yep. Agreed. And always with adding whether they, personally, are attracted to her or not. And using that as measuring stick for how she looks. Like I promise that she doesn't care whether someone on lanaboards personally finds her attractive lmao

I'm lowkey surprised people don't know what blonde eyebrows look like. If you know a blonde woman w perfectly uniform darkish eyebrows she probably tints them. Lana looks cute here

.

Don't be shy, try some more!

Yeah if I hadn't seen someone say it was with TLSP I'd be very confused rn lmao. It does have that laid-back outdated-by-the-time-it-starts Sheffield glimmer that earlier arctic monkeys stuff had. I could definitely imagine Alex singing this and Lana thinking it sounds cool. Similar vein to miracle aligner in like how the guy being sang about is portrayed

Why are ppl talking about participle principals omg maybe Barrie or Alex just had some outdated sayings, Alex is from Sheffield or something it's not unlikely

I hear half cut, would make sense she'd pick up Scottish slang I guess

I think I remember reading that her boyfriend at the time said "diet mountain dew, baby? New York city?" And she just loved the way it sounded and that they both loved the diet version. It's a cute bop (especially the demo) but it kind of fits into the cute and fun BTD songs

Why does it bother you so much lol. Like she wasn't going anywhere to be seen. She was just wandering around. People really need to learn when their opinions on people's looks are needed, because I promise you no one needs this lmao.

Ew

Do we really need a rundown of every makeup look, every outfit you think she suited better, every hairstyle she did in her twenties you think she pulled off better every time we see a new picture of her? You really expect her to roll up shopping after months of quarentine looking like she's going to an award show?

That would be cool. But also ur a dreamer. U dream a lot in ur sleep <3

I kind of wish that she'd work with new people, new producers, new photographers for the cover so we get something fresh. Not really her style but still

Right it's got such weird vibes... like girl put your phone down and enjoy the party, you don't need to document and show everything

I don't think LFA will be on the album, at the very least because it would make it much more difficult to give the proceeds to the very specific charities / orgs the single's proceeds went to.
