He deserves to be arrested to be honest.

Ah, that is true. But what he did was extremely wrong either way and I do believe he deserves some sort of "punishment" or something

It costs a lot of money to hire a lawyer to sue. I smelled something fishy as soon as I saw the original tumblr post months ago. Something told me to not put a dime in it and I didn't. Sometimes you have to follow your instincts. I never bought the one Lana has officially on her merch either. It doesn't have all the lyrics and I found it too expensive for so little. If I find it on ebay for a lot cheaper that's a different story but in the meantime no thanks.

All of those that brought that book should try and contact one another and collectively sue him till his broke arse is poor again.
 
This is one big massive scam and I honestly feel sorry for anyone who got conned. Seriously this is so fucked up on a whole new level

Without the context of the Great Gatsby, I suppose the song could be about a "cougar" relationship (the guy younger). Or it could be about a relationship between equal-aged people and a reference to that (bad) American (?) joke: "When my wife turns 50, I think I'll trade her in for two 25 yr olds". But ageism is not Lolita-ism, per se, and there is nothing intrinsically certain about YAB in its lyrics to suggest an older guy is who she's singing about.    Anyway, maybe this upcoming event will give us more info on LDR's perspective on the Ride video: https://twitter.com/LanaDReyCrew/status/695430843234254850

Firstly, West Coast is a fucking masterpiece. If it's not in your top 10 best songs on Ultraviolence, then where is it? In the bottom 16??? Ok....
 
Also, I do agree that in a way, it is natural to want to be similar to those you admire and look up to, but there is still a thing called having your OWN personality, mindset and views. It's fine if you are inspired by Lana in terms of fashion, her music, or maybe even some of her own beliefs, therefore you try to replicate some of those aspects, but trying to be exactly like her IS a problem. No one is going to be 100% like anyone else, so trying to live exactly like Lana and act exactly as she does is just ridiculous and completely unrealistic. If someone's goal is to be just like Lana, they're just setting themselves up for failure. They're never going to succeed. I think it's more important to own your own personality and live your own life!! Don't try to be a carbon copy of someone else...
 
The other problem is that young girls are living out Lana's comment regarding her attraction to older men. This is dangerous particularly for underage girls who are potentially fantasising about what could end up being abusive, illegal relationships. I don't think it's Lana's fault that some girls have adopted this attitude (I feel like that comment she made was more casual and perhaps a part of her persona, and let's be real, she hasn't dated a guy older than her for years, so she obviously doesn't even live by that statement anyway), but it is important we don't allow young girls like this to continue making comments like, "I want to date a much older man and be JUST like Lana!!!" We need to educate them, firstly, that they should never enter a relationship with an adult while they are still a child. It's dangerous and illegal, and if they ever end up engaging in intimate relationships, the man will be charged with rape/pedophilia, because they are underage.
 
On another note, I think when Lana was talking about following in the footsteps of your idols by finding out what they did, then doing the same, I think it was more so in relation to achieving the same career as them/getting to a similar point in life as them. I highly doubt she would encourage young girls to be just like her. She's saying, take aspects of the person you admire, and apply some of them to your own life, but don't dispose of your own unique personality just to take on someone else's.

Moy's video update:

It's not for pre-order in the US version of amazon. It doesn't come out for me at all actually.
 
Someone on this fansite already got a copy....? https://vk.com/ldrey
 

real or imaginary? i say real

There's something really off w her face, noticed it a while ago

Maleficent 2 soundtrack?
Alice in wonderland 2 (with Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman doing music) soundtrack? Saw a coming attraction, no songs on it yet
 
Would be great if on M2 Lana gets an original song so it can be Oscar nominated.
 
Lana's stock has gone up even more, what with America and the world seeing the absolutely horrible live performances of
both Sam Smith and Adele recently. (and then Sam's self-congratulatory fucking up what Sir Ian said).
 
Maybe there will be a new original song on the Norman R. motorcycle show?

Gurl, it's a personal Playlist and not an official release to not be able to contain 20 songs. Playlists can contain any number of songs. Go check out more playlists by LB members on : http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/795-your-favorite-lana-playlists/

no t no shade to marina bc i love her dearly but HM sold 116k first week and Froot sold 46k so I don't get the comparison

her fillers are fading 

It was kinda meh. The visuals were beautiful but it was quite clear they were just slapped over the top of Freak just so the footage could be released in full. 
 
Although I usually tend to prefer music videos with story/plot lines, I have come to accept that Lana doesn't always go down that route, and I've come to love her videos like West Coast, Shades of Cool, and so on, that are more focused on the visual aspect of things rather than the story. But with Freak, the visuals didn't even make sense at all. At least Music To Watch Boys To followed a theme of Lana reversing the male gaze and watching the boys instead. But Freak just doesn't have a meaning at all to me. It's a bunch of old footage with a new song slapped over the top, and 5 minutes of more old footage with a song that has absolutely nothing to do with the song Freak, or the video at all.
