Okay . . . but be prepared for a book. Many of you have some kind of relationship with Lana: from a one-time meeting or more, watching Lana perform live, so that Lana knows the regulars by name - some - or you met her and took a selfie which lives in perpetuity on social media, and had vinyls, CDs, arms, books and other merch signed . . . There are fan sites when Lana was on social she followed, commented, and liked. Remember when Lana posted fan cam snippets of the Norman tour on IG? Before she deleted landelrey IG and twitter. Here is some of my history of artists I feature or have sampled. There are fan sites I am sure get noticed by Lana or her management, and receive exclusives from one or the other, like the Brazil sites. That is another type of relationship. My VideoConnoisseur or LiveConnoisseur on twitter is a fan site of Lana and the handful of acts I appreciate. I post their live fan cam snippets. It is a fun hobby, checking out the lives, and posting the snippets, with credit. I wrote thought pieces for comments on major publications sometimes, and sometimes got in twitter debates, positive toward Lana. Though I am not in the categories mentioned above, or - like you - having met Lana or enjoying Lana in concert . . . this happened with some other acts I follow - I think my comments and posts were read by Lana, and there is a little back and forth! It happened with other artists, too. I started tweeting their videos, and it seemed like a back and forth, without ever admitting to it, without following or naming, having never met. Except singer Liv Warfield finally retweeted a video I posted of her performance in France, after three years of fandom of Liv *yay* I didn't WANT to admit it. And I don't WANT to admit it. If i admit, "I think the deleted post was directed to me," then I have to admit these: Dev Hynes Chris (me on the left) and Ann Wilson in response to a video about Chris' boots because I used the video to introduce Chris' boots to Ann's tour boots. I live in my own bubble. I am happy. The world is falling apart. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I hope for better things! Jesus said at Matthew 24:33: Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors. But I must turn my 62-year old face to the mirror mentor some true and say, "Louise, you're not a little girl any longer. It's time to start admitting things."

I think the deleted post was directed to me.

@Strangelove I bothered to respond to your topic. I think you should Like, whether you agree or disagree. If anyone responds to my topic, I Like regardless.

Why? Aren't there videos of Lana and Chuck baking cakes?

Re: Québec, CAN Festival d’été de Qc I wonder what the significance is of this long train . . . This is the first pic I see in profile, and appreciate the length. Maybe it means something: wedding? red carpet? Cr. @madamenonelle on IG.

Superbowl headliner!

Wow. Lana appears calm and relaxed. Oh. Just noticed the 2nd pic down Lana taking a puff of her vape. I wondered what that is. Poor girl. These pics prove the beautiful people cluster together, fans and celeb! Lana's outfit is cute and comfy-looking. Cool for hot weather. I like the color of her dress. Glad Cody is standing by.

Made a split screen video of the choreo for live debut of Chemtrails Over the Country Club using Lanaboards post and peppedelrey, with overlapping audio.

Welcome to Lanaboards. It is nice you came here and shared with us your experience of meeting Lana, and gifting her a bracelet you made, which she wore on stage! That's amazing! If you have a photo or still of a video or sceenshot, that will make a nice souvenir. Please post a pic of the bracelet you made here. Please let it roll off if people make fun. They made fun of me because I am 62, but I laughed. It isn't directed at you, but just an exageration to blow off steam. Here is my twitter: I posted a tweet of the pic of you signing off and flipping the bird, and @Lanaspoisonivy commented: so she took up for you and is in your camp, without you being here or knowing of it. Best wishes! Louise

Yes I appreciate the level of detail in this photo. Great dress!

Paul Thomas who shot the soundcheck came through for the fans also with concert fan cam . . . I needed a good view of Candy Necklace, er, I mean a clear audio. This has it! HOW do Blake, Byron, Lana, et al, keep the music atmospheric in front of a festival audience? Listen how Blake does the subtle notes to compliment Lana's voice. It is like old school jazz, with a small band where the drummer uses brushes and the instruments speak a language the musicians only know, but let the audience in. With recordings this good, it is easy to pick out highlights - which ones did you notice? Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@HuntPaul333/videos

Composition-wise, because it is centered. The nesrine.bdj on IG appears to be right in front of the screen, and turned and captured it just on time!

Nice capture from nesrine.bdj on IG!

I'm deceased, after listening 4x and downloading . . .

The connoisseur is happy to come across this live soundcheck. It is as though Lana recorded it specially for her fans! You experts can tell me which songs are represented!

Big screens are nice!

@Elle is this true the fans upset slothdelrey who livestreamed?

That's me! Ha ha.

Sounds so good! Carlin White the drummer is contributing to the new live.

The Guardian giving five stars, finally Lana receiving her flowers for live!

The baricade looks rigid, scary. Are you able to get the attention of security if you get in trouble? Stay safe!

Oh, it's definitely Taylor. Harry Styles is her friend who had her on stage. Lizzo wouldn't shade Harry Styles.

This is exactly what Lizzo said. Lizzo, own what you said! So tired of people walking back what they said as though they didn't say it! Lizzo clearly said, "The most popular person of TODAY . . . ain't even comparable to what Beyonce is doing." Who else could she be talking about? But if there is fallout over what you said, then you lie and say it wasn't referring to Taylor? Beyonce had to cancel because she couldn't sell tickets. "Production logistics and scheduling issues" is the spin her PR team put out. It is an issue to me. People think they can dodge accountibility by saying, "you misunderstood"

Here is the reference for the FKA Twigs interview: ‘It’s A Miracle I Came Out Alive’ https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a35460385/fka-twigs-shia-la-beouf-abuse There has been talk that fans cross the line if they believe Lana is speaking directly to them, so I want to add an addendum that Lana is intimate from the stage with her fans. It is one of the appealing things about Lana the artist, when she sings to each individual attendee as though she is sharing a secret with that one, warm in a cold world. She added lyrics at the end of Chemtrails in Hyde Park. The mainstream press picked up on it. I used Lanaboards and the Hyde Park thread to express myself - yes - back to Lana and to any fan who read it as though we are in a coffee shop discussing back and forth . . . as though she read it . . . It is out of my system . . . Lana's personal life is her business, but when she chose to share, I put two and two together . . . I don't have to live Lana's life but I can still learn from it. That is what great art does . . . Lana is intimate with her fans, esp. since the Blue Banisters era. Look at the shock on her singles picsart covers. So now we know what is behind it. What is behind it is what she went through . . . Lana is a human. She was misled. Lana was told and made to believe things were one way, then the rug got pulled out from under! And a lot got expressed. We now know she experienced that tragedy which afflicts more women than is reported, a rape, at a young age from Ocean Blvd. We got a hint things weren't right in her upbringing in Blue Banisters, which came out more in Ocean Blvd, and the losses in her family which hit her hard. Fingertips is for me! "Two seconds to be me." So I felt an obligation to respond. No matter if I appear delulu.
