Pls I totally forgot about this and just reread the whole thread to relive the horror
Anyway, Duped - a LanaBoards Horror Film premiering in autumn 2025 xx
I fought for my life for Lizzy Grant photos throughout the year, including John Carlucci’s Keds photos, many HQ sepia 2008 pics, early 2000s pics, and so much more (and arguably encouraging so many other Lizzy collectors to finally share their vaults with us) - so please consider me :]
weirdly enough, i couldn't think of anybody to nominate for worst profile picture i probably would've voted for may because he always had some strange profile pictures, but i didn't feel like voting for somebody banned would make any sense (and their last/current profile picture isn't bad)
This has been an incredible year for Lana, her fandom and, of course, LanaBoards. We should celebrate the forum is closer than ever to Lana and her team, and that's all thanks to our dear Elle. I will submit her for Lipster of the Year and Iconic Moment of the Year.
I will be analyzing my votes for each category in the upcoming days.
In the meantime...
PARADIXO - For your consideration
Most Active
I spent a concerning time of the year on this forum, and I couldn't be happier about that. Always on time for each event, I participated and interacted a lot and really hope you guys appreciate my contribution.
Veteran Member and/or Biggest Lana Stan
In 2024, my account on LanaBoards will be 10 years old. From Ultraviolence to Ocean Blvd and beyond, that means I spent 40% of my life on this site. That's insane. Also, a stan since the Born to Die days, I legit think I'm one of the biggest and most loyal Lana fans from Argentina and rightfully deserve this title. I have witnessed each each step in her career, applauded her endlessly, criticized her accordingly, defended her in war and I love her more with each passing year. My passion for Lana is bigger than words.
Be My Daddy
Despite not posing a lot for the camera this year, my photos were still met with generally favorable reviews. My latest release http://lanaboards.com/topic/35-pictures-of-you/?do=findComment&comment=1719121 or follow me on Instagram for more x aaronjokullsson
Not gonna vote yet as the year hasn't ended, but a few things that I'm personally endorsing:
Drama of the Year:
Thread of the Year:
Most Missed Sis:
Iconic Moment of the Year:
And if @mindofyouwithmeTHANKU1moretime doesn't get nominated for Best Username I will STOP THE COUNT!
Plsss I’m out at the pub rn and these replies are making me want to CRYYY ilysm I am truly nothing without u Lipsters I luv this time of year so much xxxx
Vote me for underrated member because I’m a diva and an icon. And I was ATTACKED for sending an email to Interview Magazine so I deserve an award THANK YOU🙏
May I be among the first few to kick of the self-campaigning, as just because I’m the host doesn’t mean I can’t campaign for myself too!
Elle - for your consideration…
Best Profile Picture
After having the same profile picture for the past 4 years, I finally gave mine a huge upgrade this year! It's pretty iconic if you ask me. & hey, if you don't like me in it, at least cast a vote for Lana's sake as she looks sooo cute in it xx
Nicest Member
I always try to sprinkle sunshine whenever I go, and even when i have to lay down the law with a mod queue or warning point, I always do it with lots of love
Veteran Member
I have truly put my life on the line for this country website, dueling through many battles over being a member for the past 10 1/2 years & owner for the past 7!
Biggest Stan
Not only am I the gracious owner of the largest Lana Del Rey fan site who has now attended 18 shows (reminder to update my Signature skkk), but I have arguably one of the largest Lana collections that includes over 175 magazines, over 100 clothing items as seen on LDR, and hundreds of other merch items! Here's some photos and detailed list of my collection that I took in 2020, and if you can even imagine it, it's even larger now.. maybe winning this award will give you all a little update x
Peace Keeper
Again, I know it’s not fun when I have to lay down the law sometimes, but without my efforts this place would honestly be a hell hole, you gotta admit it.
Be My Daddy - for Hottest Member
I've graciously won this award two years in a row after a long saga of runner-up for several years, so I'm back to try to take home the title again! In case you need a refresher of my beautiful face, here are some pictures from this year:
Iconic Moment of the Year
Me meeting Lana randomly at a Dillards in Alabama.. I mean please, does it get more iconic than the LanaBoards owner meeting Lana herself while shoe shopping?
Lipster of the Year
All I'm going to say is that this place wouldn't be here without me...
Also, I would just like to take this time to endorse @SalvaWHORE and @mindofyouwithmeTHANKU1moretime for Best Username because they make me giggle every time x
Consider stupidapartmentcomplex for literally any award now if you are sexy and like honeymoon
My contribution on this forum has been EXTREMELY wildly far-reaching and big and its not like i sit here reading your posts and not saying anything most of the time
im so indie & underground that i've been snubbed the past 3 years.. isn't that crazy so anyways i fear you should vote stupidapartmentcomplex most underrated member!
Did you know that there's a 2023 Lipsters Awards on LanaBoards.com? Well, now you do!
It's that time of year again! Our annual Lipsters Awards is our site's own awards ceremony where we all come together to honour all the members, music, moments, memories, and messiness that make our community what it is.
I look forward to hosting this year's annual ceremony with you all again! I always anticipate to our Lipsters Awards every year as it's one of my favourite things we do here on the site. I love how we can all come together to have our own special day all about us. Wishing everyone lots of love and luck! x

Awards Ceremony: page 45
After Party: page 78
Even without our notorious “Time Online” tracker that is now but a distant memory, at this point I’m sure we all can recognise who our most recent visitors are! The Most Active award will be bestowed upon the member that frequently blesses us with their posts. Also thanks for boosting our AdSense revenue xx
Sometimes a thought isn’t worth a thread post, and that’s okay! The recipient of the Status Updater award is the one who makes the best use out of our Status Update feature to let us know their thoughts for the day, their favourite new tunes, their drunken rambles, and the like. (& with the abundance of new random threads being created, I thank the ones who utilise this feature when appropriate instead.)
Whether it be a Lana reference or pun, an iconic song title, or just a purely imaginative name, we all have that one member whose name makes us smile, and the Best Username award is for that special someone.
Winner: @mindofyouwithmeTHANKU1moretime
Runner Up: @Stoned Mary in the Garden
Other nominees: @lizzyology, @Surf Noir, @Veinsineon
For Worst Username... well.. we will just assume your first option was already taken.
Winner: @Nectar Of The Puss
Runner Up: @CoochieSwirlC
Other nominees: @fl0ridakil0s, @lanaismamom, @Psychedelic Pussy
Our first new award for this year's ceremony - and one I can't believe we didn't already have! Members are allowed to creatively express themselves through their profile picture, and our new Best Profile Picture award will honour our favourites. Whether it be a beautiful photograph of Lana, an image of their lovely self, another iconic artist, a stunning artwork, or just an aesthetically pleasing image, let's show some love to the little square images we all associate our members with.
With the best must come with the worst. To oppose the previous award, our new Worst Profile Picture award will honour the profile images that give us all a little jumpscare when we see them. Perhaps it's time for a change.
Well, you can’t agree with everyone. Opposite from our previous award, the Worst Taste award is for the one whose opinions leave others questioning. We’re sorry, but we still love you anyway.
Winner: @Xenoblade 3
Runner Up: @Terrence Loves Me
Other nominees: @baddisease, @Jared, @Lindsay Lohan
This award is reserved for our own America’s Sweetheart who always keeps it sugary sweet. Let’s show our appreciation for those who make LanaBoards an enjoyable place to be with the Nicest Member award.
No negativity on this site, thank u. But it happens sometimes. This award is for our feisty pitbull who has no shame in digging their claws in every now and then. Take your Rudest Member award and then maybe chill out.
Old is gold. This award is to honour our member who has continued to come back year after year despite the madness, the one who has become truly embedded within LanaBoards culture. Give a salute as we honour our favourite LanaBoards veteran with the Veteran Member award.
(Note: Only accounts who have joined before August 2018 are eligible for this award)
Winner: @Elle
Runner Up: @Veinsineon
Other nominees: @111, @HeadBitch, @PARADIXO
Old may be gold, but new can be diamonds! The Best New Member award is for our favourite new face, who thankfully hasn’t been scared away yet. We hope you stick around.
(Note: Only accounts who have joined after August 2022 are eligible for this award)
Winner: @Embach
Runner Up: @Lanaparadiserey
Other nominees: @Black to Blue, @honeymooncd, @The Sun Also Rises
Everybody loves an underdog. The Underrated Member award is for the member who you feel doesn’t get enough credit around here and deserves their flowers. We won’t let you die an underdog in vain.
Winner: @hotshot2am
Runner Up: @stupidapartmentcomplex
Other nominees: @lizzyology, @Lanaparadiserey, @southbeachswing
Though I truly resent this award each year, at this point it has become tradition. As our member graveyard grows slowly but surely each year, the Best Banned Member award is to honour someone who is no longer here with us due to their own naughtiness. Perhaps a legend in their own right, pour out a drink for our fallen sisters with this award. (in b4 it’s all the same person in 5 different variants.)
The Most Missed Sis award is for someone who isn't necessarily a banned member, but for one who hasn't been around for awhile. Who do you miss seeing? Who do you want to have their comeback era? Let them know through this award. (Don’t let former user May gaslight you into thinking they’re dead though.)
Whether it be because of their huge Lana collection, their knowledge of Lana’s life history, their frequency at live shows, or just their general massive appreciation for Lana, the Biggest Stan award will honour the true ride or die (bitch.)
“When will people be over her? I am a Hater.” Although this is a whole forum dedicated to Lana herself, we do have those members who give her a hard time, and that’s why I cross my fingers that Lana doesn’t visit here too often. Although I don’t endorse the hatred, perhaps the Biggest Lana Hater award can give a little hint-hint nudge-nudge to ease off… or just add more fuel to the fire.
Winner: @Xenoblade 3
Runner Up: @Jared
Other nominees: @barttttender, @Lustformoney, @Terrence Loves Me
Although this is a Lana forum, we have plenty of members who are here solely for our entertainment section, which makes up a huge portion of our site. So, who’s your favourite Angel? Your favourite Little Ferrari? Your favourite Diamond? Your favourite Crybaby? Your favourite Kuchi? The Hybrid Fan award is our special thanks to a member who continues to visit, even if Lana isn’t their primary reason for their stay. Everyone is welcome a seat at the table.
It’s no doubt that LanaBoards can be a war zone, and this award is for the member who always tries to keep the peace. Whether it be a moderator or an unofficial officer, let’s honour the member who walks into the depth of the fire to put out the flames with the Peace Keeper award. I’ll also be taking note of these nominees as possible future mods, or those mods who deserve an extra pat on the back.
Appreciate ya.
The Attention Whore award is to give a gentle nudge that this place is in fact LanaBoards, not ____Boards. No disrespect here, just honesty.
Winner: @111
Runner Up: @ivory almond
Other nominees: @Strangelove, @Wait For Life, @Xenoblade 3
LanaBoards houses so much talent within our member base, and the Big Eyes Award - for Best Artist honours our true artists – whether it be for their physical or digital art, we truly have so much talent here. Will also be taking notes for future site theme design help xx
Winner: @kallumlavigne
Runner Up: @Embach
Other nominees: @palemoonbaby, @templeoflana, @The Sun Also Rises
We have talent of all kinds here, including those who are masters of audio art! Whose remixes have tricked you into believing a demo of a Lana song leaked on the site that shall not be named? Who do you wish will be Lana’s next core producer? Let them know with the Jack Anti-noff Award - for Best Audio Artist, and perhaps you could rival Mr. Antonoff for production credits on LDR10.
If LanaBoards had a dating app, who would be your super like? Who has you drooling in the Pictures of You thread? The Be My Daddy Award - for Hottest Member is to honour the hottest of the hot, whether you’re a daddy, mommy, or sexy enby.
Winner: @Elle
Runner Up: @mssainttropez
Other nominees: @Mer, @one time beauty queen, @PARADIXO
As I do have to pay extra to keep the Blog section alive, you bet damn well I’m going to honour the members who actually use it. Perhaps the Self-Loathing Poet Award - for Best Blogger may even inspire others to make their life their poetry, aside from their lovemaking being their legacy (or whatever you like to post in there.)
Winner: @Mer
Runner Up: @Liz Taylor Blues
Other nominees: @kraljicabenzinske, @The Siren, @williamprb
Whether it be someone who has a meltdown over every single Lana notification or just simply cannot hold themselves back from falling apart all over the boards letting their head spin like a ballerina, the Queen of Disaster Award - for Biggest Drama Queen is for them. A little extra dramatics never hurt anyone. Most of the time.
Which member’s posts give you continuous war flashbacks, the same kind of feeling you get whenever you see a picture of a typewritten message posted on IG? The Q.F.T.C Award - for Most Problematic Member is for them, and I hope their own QFTC proclamation awaits.
Perhaps this is a member who is no stranger to the mod queue or one that maybe you think deserves to have their unhinged posts moderated before public view. (Disclaimer that the winner of the Mod Queue Award - for Most Annoying Member award will not actually receive mod queue for it lol. At least not yet, anyway.)
As Lana proclaimed at the 2015 Golden Globes Awards, “Well, I love drama!” Whether it be site-related drama or Lana-related drama, there is never a dry day in the Lana Fandom. The Drama of the Year award is for the little extra spice within the fandom that took the cake this year.
Note: Please only nominate drama related to Lana or LanaBoards. Do not nominate any off-site drama, even if it involved our members.
Winner: @That Venice Bitch's "The Miss Daytona Collection" getting taken down
Runner Up: @Quincy vs @CandyRaye in the Mental Health Thread
Other nominees: Multiple Accounts Thread leading to the ban of @shadesofloveduthenandnow& @wilting daisy, @ivory almond's fake A&W lyrics on Musixmatch, "Unreleased Syndrome" - a @Strangelove conspiracy
Every year, there is always one certain thread that gives us that lust for life that keeps this site alive. The Thread of the Year award is to honour that thread and all the chaos and wonderfulness that ensued within it. We wouldn’t be without it.
Winner: Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread
Runner Up: December 2023 Leakfest Wishlist
Other nominees: It was all a lie... exposing Lana Del Rey, Multiple Accounts Thread, Who's the Ultimate Insider?
