The time has come. Our first anual Lipsters Awards have just begun. Preceded by two (2012-2013) amazing forum awards, this year they are back better than ever. Marketed as an event, the Lipsters Awards are more than just... awards. This time around, every winner will be announced during our big ceremony, which will include big surprises. Dates + more will be revealed later this post.
Now, some of you may wonder... what is this? The Lipsters Awards 2015 are a forum event made for us, the LanaBoards community, to have a good time and reflect on the big online personalities that shined through 2015.
Enough said, it's time to introduce our categories:
This title is granted to that member who's always online. Posting, updating, contributing, etc... It's time to recognize said member's input! I think this category explains itself.
Again, another category that explains itself. This one is for the #Lipster whose username shines the brightest to you. That user whose username you wish you had, or maybe not - but is iconic nonetheless.
Now, well - we all have an incredible taste, if it wasn't this way we wouldn't be part of a Lana Del Rey forum. But there's someone whose taste you adore, and it's time to recognize them. Could be musically, sonically, cinematically, lyrically, mathematically - y'all get it.
And we're introduced to the first not-so-nice category. First of all, do not take these negatively - remember it's all for fun and you're getting an award too so, you go Glen Coco. Now, back to this title, you all know. Whitin our Elite taste, there maybe be some users whose taste is not that exquisite, to you. This is the category for all the #Lipsters who have any Demi Lovato album on their iTunes library AND listen to it frequently.
This category is probably the one that hits the closest to home here. We love everyone on here, including hoarders. This is the time for you to award that #Lipster who you know - even though they don't brag about it... THAT much - they have unleaked material in their possession (photoshoot outtakes, songs, ROSES) but is still your sister and you love them very much.
Even though not that frequently used anymore, the Blogs section has still taken part on LanaBoards history. This is the award for the #Lipster whose blog gives you life. It could be because of their heavily detailed sexual encounters, their blog posts relating daily life events, or maybe their song listings you skip to read / never listen to yet you always comment about how good the songs on it are. It's their time to shine.
The Status Updates is probably LanaBoards' most iconic section. Filled with drama and other random things, it's time to award that #Lipster whose statuses are the highlight of your online days.
Oh my god, how could I word it? Nicely put, this is the award for that gash who's always trying to be the center of attention. It's time to give them the recognition they deserve and sought for this whole year.
Well I don't know how to describe so let's hit Wikipedia: In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off topic messages in an online community with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement.
So, that.
So, let's go back to the good sisters categories. Pretty self-explanatory, this award goes to the #Lipster who's always nice to everyone. LanaBoards' Sweetheart deserves to be awarded too.
On the flipside, there are some members who are, well... not that nice (in your opinion). This title will be granted to that #Lipster who is not in a good mood when they post some - or most - of their comments. Do not worry if you get nominated to this, you are also LanaBoards' sweetheart... with LanaBoards in need of a heart transplant.
Now, some of you may think this category is too similar to the previous one... no. Being a bitch is not being rude, it's being real even if that makes you seem shady. So now it's time to award that shady bitch! Own your bitchiness, darling.
I'm pretty sure y'all understand what this one is about. This award is for that #Lipster who turns something unimportant into a major deal. That #Lipster who blows things way out of proportion when ever the chance is given.
That #Lipster who is a LEGEND, whose username reflects LanaBoards history, obviously deserves their own award. This one is for LanaBoards royalty, queens.
LanaBoards' very own mommies and daddies are also very important. Now, this is not for the grown men who browse the forum in search of Lana's nudes (or Lizzy Grant era material, you know who you are), no no no. Veteran Member is for the users who have been here since the very beginning and are still active (RIP GagaOopsy 2012-2012 ).
We have some sisters who may not be that popular, but they are our sisters nonetheless. Show them love nominating them here and make them realize they do not go unnoticed! Everyone is a #Lipster4Life.
It's time to honor our fallen sisters who are probably still reading us but can't share their controversial opinions no more. This posthumous award will be given to that #Lipster who's not with us anymore, but still holds a place in our hearts. What's better than getting an award named 'Best Banned Sis'? Nothing. Well, maybe getting unbanned, but sorry sistrens we don't have that power.
Clean and simple, this award goes to the most dedicated fan in LanaBoards. That fan with a complete unreleased collection, who listens to Lana Del Rey live performances (my condolences to your ears, sis), who's capable of breaking into Lana's house. That one fan.
We thirsty hookers, this is our time to recognize LanaBoards' hottest member. Yes, the finest face and/or body in LanaBoards. Have in mind, maybe they'll be very grateful to us and they'll post dick pics! or pussy pics, or strap-on pics, or butt pics. Or probably nothing, but their beauty needs to be recognized.
Do you know of that one member who you see their posts and think "delete it fat"? This is the award for them. In other words, this is the award for the most annoying member. Don't be mad if you get nominated, remember: unless they're paying your bills pay them bitches no mind.
No, this is not for the most suicidal member. In that case, I'd recommend you call the suicide hotline because this is not a joke. Okay, seriousness aside, this award is for... the Most Problematic Member!
This one is for our sisters who are no longer active. It's time to award the most missed member and see if they make a come back post-ceremony. This is not for our banned sisters, sorry - you already have an entire category!
Of course! LanaBoards is full or artists, and they deserve to be recognized too. This award is for the #Lipsters with talent. This title have its 3 own subcategories too, because we have so many talented people here:
For the Lipters who graphic design is their passion. This includes: fanmade artwork, picture edits, posters, etc... Basically everything graphic on the Fan Art section.
For those Lipsters who follow Lana's path and edit their very own homemade videos.
For those Lipsters who create their very own songs and are going to fuck their way up to the top in the following years. LanaBoards' very own LEISURE could help you recognize them.
That member who's still developing their LanaBoards persona but has a bright future and it's going to be an icon soon enough. In simpler words, Best New Member.
In my opinion the biggest award of them all, this title will be granted to the Sluttiest Member! Take that as whichever way you understand it.
There's only 365 days in a year... and half of those 1) LanaBoards was down during 2015 2) there's drama. It's time to crown the biggest drama of 2015!
The formally biggest award of the night, this is the time to award the Member of the Year. That #Lipster who is the whole package. Only those with Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent will have the chance to be crowned LanaBoards' Next Lipster Superstar.
Start you engines.
And may the best Lipster, win!
I personally feel that Ultraviolence sold because of the music. West Coast is one of Lana's best songs of all time, and that includes her unreleased. I guess you could say that Born to Die helped in the way that it got her name out to the GP, but I really think a lot of people liked the change that Ultraviolence brought, and it opened her up to different audiences.
Honeymoon lacks energy & longevity. When I first got into Lana I had BTD on repeat for MONTHS, the same goes for UV when it released. When HM came out I was playing different artists hours later (opposed to weeks like the previous albums)
Honeymoon was underwhelming, and to even some, incredibly boring. The lyrics weren't fantastic and it was sooo slow.
High By the Beach was only okay, but again, not the best. Terrence Loves You was incredibly beautiful, but again, slow.
A decent chunk of the songs on HM sound similar, and she sounds bored throughout the whole album. It's an amazing album though, but I'm already bored with it tbh
NEW MUSIC: Lana Del Rey - High By The Beach [urban Noize Remix] Approaching this song once again, stripping away the contemporary sound of Lana's hypnotic trap esque record High By The Beach, and giving it a retro psychedelic 60s pop feel was really fun. With elements of surf rock and psychedelic.

In this week's issue of Billboard, out Thursday, Oct. 22, the acclaimed and enigmatic Lana Del Rey talks to novelist/screenwriter Bruce Wagner about her unlikely ascent to pop stardom, her past relationships (and hopes for the future, including thoughts on having kids) and why she's drawn to Big Sur.
Honeymoon is not "Alternative" enough, i guess.
considering FKA twigs, Bjork, FJM, Sufjan Stevens & Alabama Shakes all submitted to Alternative category.
HM isn't very edgy/electronic/alt rock enough to be under "alternative" and the competition will be fierce...
and she's not gonna win anyways coz those old, white, stubborn committees + TS + Bey's dad wont vote for her
we can already call it a win if she's nominated..
