    I hope she doesn't cause I'm absolutely exhausted, there's no point in even trying no? There will be Rihanna Adele Justin etc so I think the security will be maxed out I don't think I'm going to go even though I want to

    Hi everyone, I'm going to try to replicate Lana's MTWBT headphones for my Lana Del Rebirthday (commemorating the first time I saw Lana in concert October 19, 2014, which was when I started becoming completely obsessed with Lana). I probably won't make them in time for my rebirthday but I will try for Halloween.

    I figured I'll post a tutorial for anyone that would also like to be Lana on Halloween. I'm still waiting for the headphones to arrive from Amazon, so I'm going to update this main post as I go.
     
    Materials
    Headphones
    Crayola Model Magic for making the frangipanis or you can order 4 foam frangipanis from ebay
    6-8 Pink fabric/paper roses
    Green ribbon or fake long grass/leaves
    Pearl stickers or pearl beads
    4 3D Star stickers or star beads
    1 Bee charm
    Glue
    Blue Paint
     
    Tools
    Scissors Knife Pencil Small cup (I'm using an empty mini candle jar from Bath and Body Works) Paint brush Directions
    Make the frangipanis (skip this if you have the foam ones). You can also watch Youtube tutorials by searching "make frangipani". You will need to make 4 flowers.
    Make a teardrop shape stencil for the petals. Mine is cut from a foil wrapper. If you make if from paper, it will stick to the model magic, so use a thick plastic bag/foil packaging. Roll out the Model Magic. Trace your teardrop stencil on the Model Magic with a knife. Remove the stencil and cut the petal out. It's best to cut the petal out because it makes a nice smooth edge. Repeat 4 times to make a total of 5 petals. Pinch along the left side of each petal to make a raised edge. Smooth the outer edge with the side of a knife. Place the 5 petals in a semi circle. Pull the right side of the last petal under the left side of the first petal. Shape the petals to curve outwards. Place in a small cup to dry overnight. When dry, paint the middle of the flower blue. Glue a star into the middle of the flower. Wrap the head band of the headphones
    Cut one piece of ribbon (we'll call this ribbon A) long enough to wrap around the headphone band from ear to ear. Cut another piece of ribbon (ribbon B) that is double the length of the headphone band plus an inch more. At the end of the left side of the headphone band glue ribbon B on the outside of the headphone band. Glue it more to the left so it's edge is along the edge of the headphone band. It should be in the direction parallel with the headphone band. At the left side of the headphone band, glue ribbon A on the inside of the headphone band so it's perpendicular to the headphone band. Wrap ribbon A around the headphone band until it reaches the right ear. Leave ribbon B outside of the wrapped headphone band. Glue the end of ribbon A onto the inside of the headphone band. On the loose end of ribbon B, wrap it with a bit of tape and cut the tape into an arrow. This will help you weave the ribbon. Weave ribbon B in and out of ribbon A. When you reach the right ear, start wrapping ribbon B back towards the left ear. Glue ribbon B down on the inside of the headphone band. Glue the flowers, pearls and bee onto the ears! (Almost done, yay!)

    Position the front facing frangipani to your liking and glue it down. I wanted the red part of the headphones to be mostly covered. Glue the another frangipani facing the back. I put mine lower than the front facing flower so the top doesn't stick out behind the front facing flower. Glue the pink fabric roses in between the two frangipanis and cover the rest of the visible headphones with pearls and the bee on the left ear. Yay, now you can put on music to watch boys to! I will update with final product pictures once I'm done.

    I have embraced my love for tacky looking things like jeweled out accessories and animal print.

    EERIE CONNECTION BETWEEN GWEN STEFANI’S LYRICS AND LANA DEL REY’S LOVE AFFAIRS.
     
    When was the last time you got trashed by a love affair?
    The last one -- before the boyfriend I’m with now -- was pretty bad. It wasn’t good to be in it, but it wasn’t good to be out of it, either. He was like a twin. Not a facsimile twin, but a real twin.
     
    The song “DARK BLUE” by NO DOUBT describes Lana’s previous relationship with Barrie.
     

     
    "DARK BLUE"
     
    I'm tired from exploring you
    I'm sorry you've had some scary days
    I'm lucky, they had me on a leash
    Exposing, sometimes you frighten me

    And it's too bad you're so sad
    I wish you could have had what I had

    I'm loathing most of your history
    Hesitation, but then you siphon me
    Your potential, well I'll indulge in that
    Violent timing explains the aftermath

    And it's too bad you're so sad
    I wish you could have had what I had
    And it's so sad it's too bad 
    Maybe I can make you feel better
    Oh maybe I'm supposed to make you feel better

    I want to comfort you 

    Unlike you I had it easy 
    You're dark blue Stained from previous days

    And you're so sad 
    It's too bad
    I wish you could have had what I had
    And it's too bad you're so sad 
    Maybe I can make you feel better

    I'm sorry
     
     
    So maybe finding the same person doesn’t work. Are relationships hard for you?
    For someone like me -- and it’s not a codependent thing -- I just like having someone there. I’ve been alone, and that’s fine. But I like to come home and have someone there. You know, to say, “Oh, he’s here. And this other thing (Mimes a table.) is there. And this (Mimes setting down an object on the table.) is there. (Laughs.) I’m very methodical. I have to be. I’m like that in the studio too. Mixing and mastering can take four more months after we’re done -- three to mix and one to master. I like having a plan. Though I do leave spaces for ad-libbing in the studio when I write.
     
    The song “HOME NOW” by NO DOUBT describes Lana’s current relationship with Francesco.
     
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k-fiq7JeOM
     
     
    "HOME NOW"
     
     
    I'm hanging out with me
    And you're a vacant chair
    A chosen compromise 
    This space we rarely share

    And if you lived here you'd be home now

    So what you givin' up for me?
    And what shall I give up for you?
    Aimless expectations passing by

    If you lived here you'd be home now
    If you lived here you'd be home now

    And to make it real
    I need to have you here
    I need to have you
    I need to hold you

    Barren wasted heart 
    Neglect of normalcy

    And if you lived here you'd be home now
    Oh if you lived here you'd be home now

    And to make it real
    I need to have you here
    I need to have you
    It can't be sincere
    Unless you spend time here
    I need to see you...

    Supervision is what I need
    Some consistence, tangibility
    Some casual light days 
    Part of the furniture
    I want to take you for granted
    And see you regular

    So what you givin' up for me?
    And what shall I give up for you?
    The separations tired, it's been too long

    And to make it real
    I need to have you here
    I need to have you
    It can't be sincere
    Unless you spend time here
    I need to see you
    I need you...

    Come home now

    Make the frangipanis (skip this if you have the foam ones). You can also watch Youtube tutorials by searching "make frangipani". You will need to make 4 flowers.
    Make a teardrop shape stencil for the petals. Mine is cut from a foil wrapper. If you make if from paper, it will stick to the model magic, so use a thick plastic bag/foil packaging. Roll out the Model Magic. Trace your teardrop stencil on the Model Magic with a knife. Remove the stencil and cut the petal out. It's best to cut the petal out because it makes a nice smooth edge. Repeat 4 times to make a total of 5 petals. Pinch along the left side of each petal to make a raised edge. Smooth the outer edge with the side of a knife. Place the 5 petals in a semi circle. Pull the right side of the last petal under the left side of the first petal. Shape the petals to curve outwards. Place in a small cup to dry overnight. When dry, paint the middle of the flower blue. Glue a star into the middle of the flower. Wrap the head band of the headphones
    Cut one piece of ribbon (we'll call this ribbon A) long enough to wrap around the headphone band from ear to ear. Cut another piece of ribbon (ribbon B) that is double the length of the headphone band plus an inch more. At the end of the left side of the headphone band glue ribbon B on the outside of the headphone band. Glue it more to the left so it's edge is along the edge of the headphone band. It should be in the direction parallel with the headphone band. At the left side of the headphone band, glue ribbon A on the inside of the headphone band so it's perpendicular to the headphone band. Wrap ribbon A around the headphone band until it reaches the right ear. Leave ribbon B outside of the wrapped headphone band. Glue the end of ribbon A onto the inside of the headphone band. On the loose end of ribbon B, wrap it with a bit of tape and cut the tape into an arrow. This will help you weave the ribbon. Weave ribbon B in and out of ribbon A. When you reach the right ear, start wrapping ribbon B back towards the left ear. Glue ribbon B down on the inside of the headphone band. Glue the flowers, pearls and bee onto the ears! (Almost done, yay!)

    Position the front facing frangipani to your liking and glue it down. I wanted the red part of the headphones to be mostly covered. Glue the another frangipani facing the back. I put mine lower than the front facing flower so the top doesn't stick out behind the front facing flower. Glue the pink fabric roses in between the two frangipanis and cover the rest of the visible headphones with pearls and the bee on the left ear. Yay, now you can put on music to watch boys to! I will update with final product pictures once I'm done.

    Hi everyone, I'm going to try to replicate Lana's MTWBT headphones for my Lana Del Rebirthday (commemorating the first time I saw Lana in concert October 19, 2014, which was when I started becoming completely obsessed with Lana). I probably won't make them in time for my rebirthday but I will try for Halloween.

    Omg thank you for finding these! I just ordered them from Amazon, but the Nerds one bc Sweetarts are double the price, Lana's influence.

    So I'm guessing it's taking a concept from Murder House- you die there, you're there forever?
