This is the best thing that ever happened to Lana's career. Her self-asteem? Maybe for awhile she'll be pretty taken aback that someone she seems to respect and admire so much actually threatened to physically assault her, but in the long run watching someone you idolise stoop to such low levels just to get a reaction out of you (and also try and name-check you to stay relevent) is probably quite a gratifying experience. And hey, this gives Lana more fuel for some sarcastic-ass diss track come her next LP.

So turns out Eminem is still doing this whole "edgy white dude" gig he's had going on since the 1700s. We done yet?
 
I guess someone had to take "I'm tryna hit Lana Del Rey is what I'm sayin'" to the next level, though.

Having a reputation as being a misogynist and then acting like a misogynist isn't really playing off anything. I'm glad that someone's standing up for the poor guys who get in trouble for belting women, though. It must be rough only being able to hit someone big enough to fight back.  
 
[Edit: I'm accusing Eminem of doing this, not evilentity]

This really bothers me because she said in an interview a couple years ago how much she loved Eminem. I can only imagine what it would feel like to have someone you've admired and looked up to for awhile speak so violently against you. I don't care what the context was or whether or not he meant it; it's still really mean and she's literally the sweetest person.

i somehow see this more offensive towards lana   rip lizzy sparkler trailer heaven~ 

he gets away because he's a rich white cis-het man

That guy is racist, lgbtphobic, misogynist and we're "overreacting"?

"overreacting" about violence against women? Oh god

Maybe now we can lose the term 'stan'.

Better than Tropico, I remember I was shaking so bad

inb4 none of them happen and Lana just keeps eating spaghetti in her apartment for 2 more years

Give the op a break, what the fuck else is there for a Lana fan to do right now

what if a mum wants to know if ldr is appropriate for their tween so they google "lana del rey profanity" boom

Didn't mean for this to come out quite so garish, but I still like it.
 

 
And, uh... Someone on here made an LDR booklet a while back, right? This cover is nigh-identical to one of the pages in that, but I had to make it anyway.

^ I meant for the text to match her shade of lipstick, but you're right -- it is kinda garish-looking. Will edit when I can be bothered to!  <3

In the month of the disappearance of the Malaysian airline, Lady Gaga's GUY video featured a brunette phoenix falling from the sky, before being resurrected as a blonde in Hollywood. At the same time, Lana Del Rey was photographed diving into the waters of Marina Del Rey for her "West Coast" video.
 
Ingmar Bergman's Persona (1966) is the story of two girls, one blonde, one brunette, who in reality are only one girl. Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana (2006) is the story of one girl who masquerades as two girls, Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart. Gaga and Lana are likewise two hemispheres of a single archetypal feminine principle; one which directs itself outward into phenomenal play (being "born this way" and fashionable), one which directs itself inward into melancholy reflection (dye your hair a darker shade, to suit the mood of your soul). Only one of these personae can be So Legit.
 
Therefore, whenever Gaga goes brunette, it only figures that she would then start to mimic her brunette alter-ego.

Leave Madonna alone

I love this. Low-key whimsical, but calm, with an undercurrent of urban desolation. Speaks to the loneliness of the busy metropolis.
 
I need to sleep.

Ok...I tried it but I don't know what to think about it.
My first attempt didn't turn out that good I think ... but well, here is it, just in case you want to see it.

 
 
And here's the better one. I'm still not perfectly happy with it but I just don't know how to improve it .
 

 
Suggestions, opinions etc are welcome.

I ended up reading Lolita (and seeing both films, and cultivating an unhealthy obsession with the whole thing in general) after becoming a fan of Lana. I'd always been curious, but I'd never really gone off the deep end until then.
 
So yeah, there's that. I also found my favorite film ever thanks to a fanmade video for the Carmen acapella demo.

Tell me, was it ‘cause I wasn’t platinum and jewels?
That perhaps you thought I was a little bit of an uncool kid
Was that it?

I mean, there's a mid-sentence break there, all Sirens-style, but you know.

Let's talk about how the lyrics are clearly
 
"Plenty million" instead of "twenty million"
 
Dismissing most theories about the song being recorded at a later date where the numbers were correct

Like that?
 
 
 
 
 
Whatever, here's something new. Finally made a cover for Disco, one of my all time favs. I also thought about using it for all my Lizzy Grant unreleased songs but I'm not sure if it would go together...
 

 
Here I added "Lizzy Grant", I don't know which one I prefer
