May be wrong but I think the stylist is a guy and the hair stylist is a girl, the guy being still Johnny Blue Eyes and the girl being Anna Cofone because in the shoot picture on her instagram Anna Cofone tagged Johnny Blue Eyes Anyway I'm extremely excited can't wait for a new big production

This is very random but has anyone some receipts about Lana being a vegetarian? I know it's in the BBC radio 1 interview with Huw Stephens but I've looked really everywhere and didn't found anything. It's not in the interview that's available. I wanna know so bad.

I despise the H&M campaigns and all the big hair looks like the El Rey theatre or the National Anthem video. I don't know why, it's intimidating me and she looks mean, not really herself, can't pinpoint. Also the Uomo shoot is a big mess, the makeup and hair are weird as f. And also, but that's just me, I really like her trashier, messier looks, more than the smooth looks. She is elegant in a very particular way when she's natural and not all dressed up. And I think Summertime Sadness is by far one of her worst songs, anyway all the songs she said are her favourites from the albums, are the worst to me :') And practically all the bonus songs are really weaker. Ugh, cringing at my own list though, why so much hate

I'm desperately looking for the full VH1/MTV interview, who's blocked in my country. I think I've seen it all except the Gangsta Paradise and the speed questions parts... Does anyone managed to rip it and can PM me it, or does someone know where I can find it please? I want to watch it so bad

You're Gonna Love Me kills me. It really really does. I can't believe how much I love this song. Serial Killer and St Tropez too, and TOSTB and MPG and Dark Paradise and I'm forcing hard myself to stop because I can legit cite half her discography, but holy crap, You're Gonna Love Me is out of this world, it's surreal. I love everything about it. She has so many songs ugh it's impossible to choose

Anyway I'm saying this but if they do something together and if it does sounds good I'm probably gonna die of nosebleed because I love them all so much. Just have to wait and see I guess ha, but still something tells me it wouldn't be *the best* for Lana

Dunno if it's where to put it but I've been thinking of something; the new James Bond song hasn't been announced yet right? What if it was some kind of collaboration between Muse and Lana? I'm a huge Muse fan too so I'm probably reaching hard but as they've been seen together and all have some kind of really cinematic imagery and sounds and I think it could be incredibly epic. I really really don't want Matt to produce Honeymoon though, it would probably be disastrous, their music is so different and stuff.

I don't exactly expect her to rehash old stuff, and I'd obviously much rather have new songs and probably would be slightly disappointed if she actually reused stuff, especially knowing how productive she can be, but in the very unlikely case she feels the need to reuse previous songs to fit a particular mood or mindset, which Lana being Lana is not COMPLETELY impossible and could in fact be more interesting if we're talking about her ""artistic vision"", I wouldn't mind it, especially if it's songs I know I love already. It would just get them be more known. And I agree with Hundred Dollar Bill, I'd gladly give a kidney and five years of consciousness for a clear studio version of YGLM and some others, even though I suspect that part of the beauty of the songs are their raw roughness. And she did mentioned Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but as it has been brought already, we never can be sure of what to expect haha. Who knows what that means in her head. In any way, I'm dying of excitement and I really hope she does promo

Yeah I thought it'd be fake. Passing false information wasn't my intention though, my apologies, but the thirst is real.

Sorry if it has already been brought, It might be fake but I suddenly remembered this, did this happened before or after she announced Music to Wath Boys To? Because the Velvet thing might be Velvet Crowbar idk maybe I'm just reaching because I love this song too much and I desperately want it

Omfg that is beyond fascinating, I'm panting thank you so muchhhh, still have to read this thread thoroughly! Your observations will definitely have a huge impact on my thinking. And Lana having studied Metaphysics is def part of what makes her stand out in a stellar way in my eyes. I wish I could sit with her for an hour and discuss it with her ugh. I really super wonder what she would think of all of this, especially being the person concerned. I always forget that idols can be fans too, too. Thank you to everyone who have read the essay, I'm just so happy to be able to discuss it.

Oh God, I didn't even thought about her being a woman, you make an excellent point I'm pissed haha. This is so relevant. I'm obsessed by Chuck's photographies, it's a big part of why I wanted to do my essay specifically on Lana. In this particular photo, I think that two important things is that first she shared it herself, she specifically chose this one, and secondly she's turning her back to her fans, and facing therefore the stage. I could rant forever on this, don't even get me started ugh. In this photo too, unlike the others, there is a physical contact. I should have talked more about how she actually goes into the pit and collect stuff and all. I mean it's not that uncommon but she talks about it a lot and I also remember this Kroq interview from 2012 if I recall well where the dude asks her why people cry upon meeting her... Arghhhggh so much more stuff! Anyway the more I look into this photo and the more peculiar and masterful it appears to me, the composition is so good and it seems that there is so much more to it. Chuck (if I'm not a fake stan and it's really her who took it) is really freaking talented. I find the connection you make to these other artist hella interesting, first thing that I notice is that the dudes remain "superior" to their public in the sense that they're not on the same level, they're still on the stage, even though Nick Cave is crouching. I recall some Beyoncé performance too where she touches the hands of fans but stay on the stage. I wonder if Lana actually "showing her proximity", "showing her humanity", by descending into the pit and interacting much more with the fans - to the point of recreating what is usually seen as an act of love, kissing on the mouth - actually makes her more of a divinity in the eyes of fans. I'm repeating myself, I know. I def agree with what you said about Iggy. I also recall the famous "let me fucking do what I'm fucking doing, signing things" vid. It's iconic and hilarious and super Lana precisely because of what we all said, and it precisely makes us (or at least me haha) adore her even more. Her proximity, her humanity. It's a fascinating vicious circle. No thanks to you for being interested in what I wrote, it's really what I enjoyed the most to write ever and it's a real luxury to be able to discuss it about the very concerned people, especially when you're kind enough to provide me with references I wouldn't have thought of myself

Wow thanks for the feedback. Yeah I agree about the theorists. I don't understand why it's academically required, it's frustrating. Just because it's not printed in a book doesn't mean it's less worthy. Besides I'm pretty sure the people he named are a bit far stretched from my subject and in only 3500 words I couldn't expend much. But I also recognize I should have researched more. I found so many things after finishing and submitting it ugh. I want to continue writing on the subject including all I didn't found first. That is extremely interesting. To be honest I wasn't quite sure about what I was writing, and I actually found that using only Lana fandom to confront religion and fandoms was restricting, so again it seemed quite a reach when I wrote this. I'm fascinated by this act though, the act of kissing fans on the mouth, with all the cultural implications it has, and I highly appreciate your Sid Vicious input, thank you! It's part of what makes Lana so peculiar in my eyes; her acts of transgression are so "connected" and relevant to the rest of what she does, like she does what she wants and she means it, it's cheesy bit it's a bit like a """"soft revolution"""", and I absolutely agree with you saying that it's what makes people question her authenticity. In my eyes she's obviously authentic, even in her lies and fantasies. Because she puts her idea of what is beautiful before everything, like her Grazia quote, "I like the idea that truth shouldn't cross the path of a good lie", something along the lines. I find it very elegant of her to express this kind of unsettling bare-boned authenticity in a way that remains completely accurate to herself. Oh God sorry I'm not sure if that sounds as good as it did in my head. Anyway, I'm really haunted and fascinated by this particular subject so thanks a lot for your input!

Thank you so much, I'm happy you liked it

I only want Lana's happiness but when I look at pictures of her and Barrie and when I watch/hear Summer Wine I can't help to think that they're a match made in heaven, even though they probably separated for the best. I hope she's happy with Francesco!

I would say all her unreleased but the ones that stand out for me (I don't really consider Serial Killer to be underrated) are Tired of Singing the Blues, St Tropez and You're Gonna Love Me. Also Last Girl On Earth and Hit & Run Demo.

Thank you so much

Thanks omg it means the world to me Me too I'm sorry, but there's not much more choice available

Hi everyone, as I presented myself in the Welcome section, I'm a fine arts student. As part of one of my second year units on fans and amateurs experts, I had to write an essay on fandoms. Being a Lana stan and being fascinated by religion, I decided to do it on how the Lana Del Rey fandom can bring criticism on the relationship between fandom and religion. I immensely enjoyed writing it and I really want to explore it much further. It's called "Kissing God - Lana Del Rey is my religion". Please keep in mind that: _ I only got B+ for it because I only cite pop culture sources _ I was immensely depressed and suicidal during the whole time I wrote it _ English is not my first language and I'm not a particularly good writer _ I was still a pretty basic Lana stan when I started to write it. I hope you'll like it Feedback would be much appreciated! PS this is what my tutor said about it, it adds some insight. The essay:

Sorry I'm super late but I've look at ultra high quality pics and apparently it's from Allsaints! Don't know if it still exists though, probably not, didn't found it on their website!

I've always heard "you're smoking hot" instead of "let's go get high in BTD and "I can see my baby swagging" in WC. Smh. Also I've thought for months that it was "Barrios tonight" instead of "bats her cartoon eyes" in Carmen, I though it was a club or something! And the first time I've listened to Brooklyn Baby I was very tired and completely misunderstood and thought she was saying "he plays guitar in his submarine"
