Mash Tragic

This has probably all been said before but i was randomly rewatching the candy necklace music video and in the final scene it all clicked into place for me, that the point of the video Is the irony of not getting the thing you want most and have worked so hard for during life and only receiving it after death. The women from which Lana takes inspiration from for the video desperately wanted something during life (validation/fame/acclaim) but only received it after their tragic untimely deaths. 
The Black Dahlia was a budding actress who wanted to be a star and in a cruel twist only received fame after her violent murder, while Marilyn Monroe wanted to elevate her image, to be taken more seriously as an actress and now after death is revered as a Hollywood legend. Its about the irony of not getting the thing you want during life but receiving such recognition posthumously. Towards the end of the video it all builds up to this moment where there’s a bloody body in a trunk in the back of the car (presumably Lana’s), before it cuts to a shot of Lana getting her star on the Hollywood walk of fame while people cheer. I never understood this last shot and how it relates to the rest of the video but I think this ties in to the many times Lana has said over her career that she wants to be appreciated and respected first and foremost as a songwriter, and to find a community of like minded musicians. She felt harshly and unfairly criticised by critics and rejected by the music industry at large in the aftermath of her debut and SNL performance. The toxicity and scrutiny of the debate around Lana Del Rey and her image/persona has lasted for over a decade, impacted the way people perceived the music and clearly took a toll on her mental health. She has also made comments (although I cant find them now) about how she felt rejected by New York and that she would only be appreciated there after her death. This makes me think that the ultimate point of the video is a commentary on how Lana believes that after her death she will be appreciated by the public and her work to finally be recognised how she wanted it to be received. I also think the necklaces in the video represent metaphorical shackles on the confinements of fame or the box in which she was placed by the media/music industry over the years, as well as the mental burden that goes along with the controversy/discourse which unfolded around her - all of which she is finally freed from upon death.
 

she's so writing AOTY

i'll take the native american part but let's get one thing straight: being brazilian has nothing to do with being white. you can be white and brazilian lmao there's plenty of white people in brazil, particularly in the south due to german immigration in that area back in the day. now let's talk about portugal, that is straight up located in europe, not a latin country at all. i wish north american people would stop pretending that being latinx is a race, it is not. we have white people, black people, mixed people, indigenous people and many more in all latin countries. saying that being latinx is a race is honestly just ignorant and harmful. denying sky ferreira's caucasianess is foolish. and this bitch was born in california! stop calling her a latina, she's not.

Imagina having only 1 album under your belt from 10 years ago and yet you're still top billed for these basement performances. Legends only luvs xx

that's heroin chic for ya 

this edit goes hard
 
also I still love that cover, it has a very biblical energy 

crash deluxe is one of my fave album covers of all time, and charli's best imo. don't care for her other album covers ngl however
 
this was so fucking cool, myspace queen
 

Hate Charli cover. Sucker clocks a second for least fave for sure. Just like....both covers don't feel they look like her. I get like....XCXUncannyValley experience.

I think Crash comes in as my fave? But N1A/TR/HIFN are all fighting for second place. Depends on my mood.

 

Ngl I always preferred the closeup they used for the japanese cover of Charli than the official cover
 

it’s giving the return of Jesus ChristCX

hol awn 

Crash visuals went hard- 
those body sculpting sessions had her in sex symbol mode 

is this the vibe

My favorite covers are probably Pop 2/N1A, absolute classics. I just love how sleek they are and how perfectly they match their respective albums.
 
I hate the cover for Charli (seems like a universal opinion ) Its the grey isn't it  The kool aid dipped hair too just wasn't it (also the weird limp ass tentacle thing) She had a vision in mind but it feels moot, but ig it kinda reflects the album in that sense 
 
Also as much as I love True Romance, its packaging is so of its time. I was excited when Charli was thinking about reshooting a new cover for the album (which never happened ) cause its so dated. The effects, the font, the aesthetic, like I guess it matches the vibe of the album but I still think the visuals could be better. Its not awful though! and Charli cover is worse by tenfold 

i'm the biggest charli era hater there is 

this was filled with anger lol
 
I love the cover of Pop 2.
 
I hate the cover of Sucker (looks like a cheap porn DVD cover).

i think my favorite artwork is crash, it's simple, it's iconic, it's a statement  i looooooooove pop 2 and number 1 angel covers as well
 
my least favorite cover art gotta be charli, i hate that ugly grey background, that ugly hair, the way that her torso looks stretched out to not show her xcoochx and quite frankly i hate that album as well so... but i do like blame it on your love, gone and 2099 covers 

omg all this random true romance hate just for true romance to be better than crash 
 
 

Crying
The last one is giving Princess Eugenie of York though

i put this into an ai generator and it gave me this

My app did not face swap like usual. I think it's the angle  

This needs a face swap and a Twitter rumour asap

A robot with boob guns


 

The mv for the lead single of her next album should feature her putting her head in an oven a la Sylvia but then she crawls out the other side and emerges as a robot with lasers on the ends of her fingers 
Also some puppies and bunnies
