Desperate about the crazy shipping costs for the hoodie box from the US site, I became creative - and created many more Lana related items. From what I spent on those I could have ordered 2 hoodie boxes probably, but this feels way more satisfying luckily :-D
 
 
Recycling old vinyl:
(I bought old colored vinyl and took a few black ones from our family collection, put them in the oven at 100 degree (Celsius) for 5min and then shaped them.)
 
Vinyl art 1:  Heart shaped bowl (plus black vinyl as kind of rose shaped)


Vinyl art 2: Holder for 7" vinyls and Paradise box

 
 
 
3D Posters
 
Poster 1: AW (almost finished, a small pepsi can pendant will be added once it arrives ;-) )

 
Poster 2: Queen of Hearts (work in progress; the vinyl will get heart shaped in the end)


 
Poster 3: Wild at Heart (work in progress)

 
before creating the posters (would have looked interesting, too, but difficult to fix):

 
 
 

Boxes  
 
Boxes 1 and 2: Heart shaped box (finished) and box for CDs (working on it next; need to decide about the design first)

 
 
Boxes 3 and 4 plus mirror, inspired by the FakesCakess boxes Lana bought; the one with the interview pic is not completely finished yet, the sides will be stickered and maybe get some icing, too.

 
 
Box 5, house shaped. The drawer on top needs a sticker, couldn't really decide about it yet.


 
Box 6, cigarette box. I don't smoke but I wanted to have such box, lol. Didn't like the design of the ones they sell on etsy etc.

 
 
 
small candy boxes and mugs
(since my LDR eyes mug from LDR village lost the print while washing, I stickered it now instead...)
 

 

Unfortunately it's the standard version. I guess the other versions could be sold for what you paid in one or two years, but not the standard one of course. I could imagine we might get signed other variants as well. 

Looks like this to me, too - however, it says "sold out" on the page of the item. 
 




 
I guess there might be more soon though, other variants most likely... 

That's what I thought, too. I think she's always very safe with songs like bartender - I know many people don't like it, but if it helps her to start, she should start with this one, or better: something else catchier, which makes her feel safe in the same way

It abso-fuckin-lutely was. There are no coincidences with our girl. I honestly loved the peppers ghost effect. 

out of the black, into the blue

nah the review wasn't harsh, i think maybe some fans just didn't know what to do w an overall bad review, at least on this one.

Are you talking about The Guardian's review?

Actually I don't find it that harsh, the author doesn't seem like a hater to me. I think the review has some points, while at the same time one can see it from another point of view. It was one of these typical Lana things, trying to avoid to fulfill anything what people might expect 😅 she's just doing her own thing on purpose. 

And I fall for it everytime...
I'm going to see if I can return it. if not, I guess I'll just sell it on ebay, although I'd have to take a loss on that from ebay fees but I guess making back most but not all of the money is better than nothing

I don’t like guardian but a reviewer does need to be mean sometimes- they still gave her 2/5 so it wasn’t really that bad if that was their honest opinion- the only thing wrong with it is if their own personal judgements between them and Lana effected the reviewing but it wasn’t really nasty- just honest

Billie showing up in this fit is killing me like girl I get it I literally dress like that too sometimes but there's a time and a place!
 
but they look sooooo cute together

i was lucky enough to grab tickets to the paris show last year, and having gone to the london 70k+ show the day before, and a medium sized venue in 2017, this setlist really does work in a small venue, and is not for the big stage
 
that small room really felt like it was just you and her, as cliche as that sounds, and the slower, more generic songs worked well in that format. these larger shows need higher energy, which she is not currently doing

Was hologram spinning around herself endlessly an homage to this 

I was thinking about this at the gym just now. The only way I can justify her setlist was if she was going for an outright ANTI-POP statement.
 
Like, "I'm Lana Del Rey, I'm going to the best festival in America, and I'm going to bore everyone to death with obscure, slow songs that no one's ever heard of - just because I can. I'm going to prove to the world that real art doesn't need to be neither ubpeat nor familiar. And my dancers and I are going to shake our booties and dance on a strip pole to delicate piano. Take that, America."
 
 

Have ppl seen this: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/13/lana-del-rey-at-coachella-review-a-disappointingly-lifeless-start-to-the-festival
 

That's why they didn't sell them previously... 
 
I'm gonna pass this anyway, not willing to pay 15 EUR extra for the signed picture. I could sell my signed Midnights vinyl instead though.

That's why I think that maybe they originally planned to sing blue jeans at this point. Would also be suitable in combination with A&W
