how dare you say that about video games how dare you how dare you how. dare. you.

Young and Beautiful & The Paradise era in general, in my opinion.
 
I tried to get into Y&B, but both the DH production and the version used in the film just can't keep me entertained.
 
And as for Paradise, I think it has some great moments, but it seems rushed and lazy in terms of vocals, writing (especially the bridges), and production. That said, I realize it was intended as an expanded re-release and not a proper "release", but I think the EP was lackluster in general. 

aw no, i love pawn shop blues.
 
cola tbh, i rly dislike it but everyone else seems to love it

I still laugh at fans who are like "omg you are like the best photographer ever!!!!!" and that's only based on a couple of shots of lana. That's all they want anyway. Nobody would care about her or her photography if lana wasnt involved. 

awww that's really sweet. poor mom getting shafted all the time 

She looks stunning. So stunning.
 
Fabulous answer tbh.

i can't see the images 
 
if you can't see them too, here's the cover:

 
looks like L'Officiel Part II 
 
edit:
 

I TOUCHED THAT HEADBAND.

Ok I about died and cried at the same time. WTF IS THIS

This is the only time I have fallen for her dark hair. Think it has something to do with her makeup too, because her makeup nowadays looks fucking horrid. BTD era look please.

Just PERFECT here!

I basically live for the Lizzy Grant blonde days

 
light blonde > brown > black > dark blonde > red/chestnut/auburn/idk what is this

The dark hair adds years to her face in my opinion. Also I think it's too long~ but that's personal preference.

I don't know about her (or you guys), but filling out the MySpace info with absolute bullshit was a thing. At least i thought that's what a lot of people did? I certainly was not truthful about any of the info on my profile. Then Facebook came along and it was time to get SERIOUS. 

Not surprising from someone who doesn't know her own birth year either.

the whole time i was just like
kisssss herrrr do itttttttttttttt

I bet there's more to the summer wine video I bet they banged

You're not overthinking it. I've been way too paranoid these last couple of days whether or not I should address it to Elizabeth. But you make a very valid point. Come to think of it, it really does sound kind of disregarding and tacky. The letter was written in a very personal manner and all, but that doesn't change the fact that it is Lana's music we all love and appreciate not "Elizabeth Del Rey's". Although I wouldn't mind addressing it to "Dear Sparkle Jump Rope Queen" 
 
Thanks for the perspective! I changed it to "Dear Lana"

It's funny, i was just thinking about this the other day and i had an epiphany of sorts. When i sent her a message with a link to the Money Hunny cover i recorded, i addressed her as Lizzy. I'm not sure why i did that, but i didn't give it much thought. I guess i thought it was cute and personal (why did i feel like i needed to be cute and personal?) Since then, for unrelated reasons, i've been thinking about stuff like identity and different trangender issues, and in thinking about some of these things, i suddenly realized that it was in very poor taste to call her Lizzy because it disregards or overrides her decision. It's almost like taking away a person's agency and putting a decision that is not yours in your hands. It's presumptuous and even condescending. I don't think it's really any different than a situation where someone is, say, born female and wishes to be referred to as "he" and not respecting that decision just because the person wasn't born male. She chose the name Lana Del Rey, so i think that decision ought to be respected. It's not our call to address her by anything else.   
 
Perhaps some of you will think that i'm overthinking this and taking it too seriously, but i just thought i'd pass along my thoughts on the matter because i think it's worth thinking over. For whatever it's worth, i really regret calling her Lizzy.

i wouldn't call her elizabeth or lizzy in the letter, sounds kinda smart-ass-y imo

Arthur Lynn song, Mo, but I'll forgive you for avoiding Lanalysis.
 
 
Anyway, awesome post, evil! I'll be happy to just directly quote you like the Mr. Campbell stuff in Lanalysis--it doesn't do much for "relating songs", but it's interesting regarding her relationship. ("Put Me in a Movie" was recorded far too early to be a Mike song, despite that disgustingly fortuitous title.)
 
And since MM is a "filmmaker", it's only a matter of time before that sextape you all thirst surfaces Would rather see Reeve naked, even Jimmy...hell, even Bradley before Mike, too.
 
But let's not with that

The gods are so good. 
 
I hope from here, she'll start dyeing her hair lighter. 

She looks so much younger without all those pounds of black hair! I like the new color, kind of dark brown maroon? And she's so perfect when she smiles.
