"Lana Del Rey" doesn't work anymore. But just "Del Rey" seems to work, although something has changed that makes it less resembling than before. Don't know why exactly but I find it boring.
Nvm, your prompt without "Lana" gives this (I put the best ones) :

I don't think it really works anymore, it blocks almost everything interesting now. your prompt doesn't work for me at all. but as we know this happened before where it became super restrictive to the point of being unusable only to unblock everything weeks later, so hopefully history repeats itself

Thanks everyone, I definitely recommend everything you mentioned too! It was definitely legit then, I was starting to get worried lol!

Remember Lana wore the rear eyes hoodie from ldrvillage to Rob's album release party? They advertised it as buy her hoodie, and people posted pics wearing it, too. So some people got merch from this collection. I also take this hoodie and Lana wearing it as a proof that they were still official at this point.

Lana definitely advertised LDRvillage at some point. I remember it. 

From what I remember, LDR Village popped up with the release of Chemtrails (March 19, 2021) and while I do remember we found it early before they announced it officially, I'm sure that Lana shared it on social media too
 
I searched through my emails and these seem to be the first emails I ever recieved from LDR Village/about LDR Village.
 
This one was sent directly from their email (I don't remember if I signed up for the email list or if they just sent it to me lol)
 
The second email is sent from Lana's official UK store (I can't find the US one for some reason) announcing the release of Chemtrails and while a lot of the images won't load anymore, there is one for LDR Village that shows that it is in fact an official merch store
 
There are other things that connect the two and prove that LDR Village was once an official store of Lana's, like the fact that she did the DNC photoshoot with the director of LDR Village and that they sold a design she made for Ocean Blvd (pink "u don't understand me" hoodie) but also that they provided merch for pop up events that were advertised by her and that she was supposed to attend.
 
The pop up events for Chemtrails and for Ocean Blvd were both advertised by her, for example and she posted on Instagram stories (I think) that she wanted to go to them but it was too busy or something lol ultimately, I think that whatever happened with LDR Village happened very recently, sometime after March/the release of Ocean Blvd
 
I agree that tap management should do more though, but maybe they thought it was shut down after the Ocean Blvd release? Maybe LDR Village bringing back the Surf Shop merch was just them trying to get rid of stock before they shut down for good but Tap sent them a cease and desist and they can't fulfill orders now? Idk 

This is all so strange, I really wonder what happened. It was definitely a real store since its inception and I've ordered from them before and had my stuff delivered. Their instagram was posting regularly like every other day up until October 2nd and then it just abruptly stopped.
I'm sad I won't ever get my stuff, I really wanted it. There are fans who have the things I bought (I ordered an ashtray, a bunch of pins, chapstick, and some air fresheners) so it's not like it's not real merch. There's actually more stuff I wanted to order but I've held off buying it since I currently have two separate orders I've been waiting for.
whether Lana's team decided to end their relationship with whoever runs the store or something else happened, they should've taken the site down and processed refunds automatically if they knew they weren't going to deliver

MESS!!! Omg this is SO unprofessional, since when has it not been an official anymore?? Why is this not publicly announced, so many people have been affected by this shop and waited for their packages or refunds! 

did none of you read the screenshot? it was historically an official merch shop connected to lana but it's not any longer so they are pulling an exit scam, and yes it's extremely unprofessional that her team didn't bother updating the fans on it but what did y'all expect from ben mawson... dua didn't drop his ass for nothing... 
 
contact your bank/paypal to see if they can help get your Hundred Dollar Bill back... just explain to them that the website/email are no longer in service and they disappeared 

How is it not an official site if Lana, Ben, and Ed follow them on insta and it’s the same merchandise they sold at the pop up? It makes no sense. I mean I guess it’s good that they’re trying to do something about it but they need to make a public announcement. 

From reddit:

That's Lana's manager Ben btw

The only reason I've waited this long to even ask for an update is because they are notorious for taking literal months to deliver. The fact that I've already waited 3 months is insane in itself
But their email and phone no longer working is ridiculous... did they decide to close and just keep everyone's money?
Now I'm not sure what to do, keep waiting for another few weeks to see what happens, or just go ahead and report the charge as fraud to my credit card? I still really want the stuff I ordered but there's literally no way to contact the store now

It’s a big mistake on their part not to let people know about this issue. And why is Ben writing “pls” twice 

I know it’s a tabloid and they like to talk about drama, but I wish they’d focus more on her actual music instead of her relationship status. I just know OB will age like fine wine with all the success it’s had so far

Thank you! You were both right. I managed to get it from my local corner shop. It's sold in a big bundle with the main newspaper, mini newspapers inside it, and 5 magazines (one of which is the Culture one!). 
 
I really wanted to get this interview in print. I don't yet have the words to describe what I felt reading it. Hearing her delve a little deeper into the context of Kintsugi, what I suspect is her not having a place in the MeToo moment (A&W lyrics), Swan Song, everything— like I said, I don't have words. The final quote, “We’ll see what melts the wings," is one of my all-time favourites from a Lana interview and what cemented the fact I needed this in print. It's gorgeously expressed. It encapsulates her spirit. 
 

This is going to sound SO stupid, but I'm in the U.K. and don't buy magazines or newspapers ever, so - 
 
Is the Sunday Times just sold on Sundays? Can you buy it throughout the rest of the week? Is Sunday Times Culture different to the standard Sunday Times? Where is it sold, can I just get it in a supermarket? 
 

Picked up a copy yeet 

I was wondering too if she'd go back to writing less openly personal and maybe simpler lyrics now because Ocean Blvd was so painfully honest (which I love!!), it seems that my hunch was right. I hope they'll still sound great, and hopefully sonically a little more interesting than just a piano now that she's working with more producers too. I don't know what I feel about simpler lyrics though, sometimes when I go back to her older works I'm like... she can do so much better. ^^'
I hope she's okay, I don't know why she mentioned not having kids or marriage when the reporter didn't seem to have been interested to ask about such things.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell with Lana, like, I think she’s very happy to rehash the authenticity conversation as it’s something she feels very passionate about setting straight 
 
I think she only wants to open up on more of her lyricisms or philosophies when it’s led by her- for example the interview mag was great and I felt we got a lot of nice snippets.. but I wouldn’t put that down to the interviewer.. I mean Billie’s interviewing didn’t push on anything she just seemed to say “oh wow, that’s cool, blah blah blah” 

This was such a good interview. I'm glad he let her talk, instead conteplating her authencity *yawn*. But I love at the end how she asked if he had a horrific question to ask her! She's such a strong Scorpio Rising queen!!!

agreed, sometimes simpler lyricism and something that’s easier to listen to is nice 
 
also.. when the interviewer mentioned she plans on writing an album of standards… i wonder if he misunderstood her when she was talking about doing an album covering standards orrr? if she genuinely just wants to create an album of like, her own standards…

i find it fascinating that they brought up that iconic "elders react to lana del rey" video that i don't believe is up on the react channel anymore, for some reason
