I don't know if this is the right thread for this or not, but I wanted to say this somewhere (and my status isn't enough room)
 
I was re-watching this performance of "Video Games": 
 
 
Seeing Lana break down and cry like that gave me so many feelings. Despite the fact that this heaux has made a lot of artistic decisions I don't care for, and doesn't always do the things I wish she did, I am so proud of her, and I feel like I can't criticize too harshly, because she has worked so hard to get to this point. I bet the girl who was drinking and hangin' around in Lake Placid, or the girl who wrote songs in her trailer in New Jersey, or the girl who played songwriters' competitions and local clubs never, ever thought she'd reach this point. When she was singing "you're gonna love me, I'm gonna make you," did she know how true that was going to be? Did she know she would cover magazines and perform at festivals and have crowds and crowds of people cheering her name? When she took the stage for the first time and sang, did she know what was to come? Thinking about all of this is what makes me love her so much more. She's not perfect, she's certainly flawed-- but she is living her dream and I am so happy for her. I wish the Lizzy Grant of ten-or-so years ago could look forward to now and see what she's become-- I think she wouldn't believe it. Even if her music were to go down the drain, I'll always believe in the artist Lana Del Rey is, and forever be proud of her for having a dream and seeing it through.

so, I've never done any sort of graphic design work-- go easy on me! -- but I decided to try out a technique our dear @@Trash Magic uses (with much less success than he ), and made a few variant covers for "Methamphetamines" using a screencap from the video:
 
 
 
 
I'm far from satisfied with the finished product, but it's a step in the right direction, I think! I'll take requests, too-- even if the covers don't turn out great, I need the practice 
 
(also, what photo editing program do y'all suggest? I'm using Pixlr online right now  )

the good sis bey saw the HM vid before it leaked!!
 
leak ha telephone calls so we can hear lana letting bey get insp. from ha video

You've done great coverage, thank you! I'm loving all of the pictures and video you've been able to find. 

Our dear Lana has made a big impact in today's pop culture - musically, visually...
Let's discuss about it. Post songs/videos/artists/shoots (post-2012) that are clearly inspired by Lana's work.
 
Off to the top of my head:
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
I know there's much more, so feel free to share. Also there are lots of music videos inspired by her but I'm not into MVs so I don't remember.
Reminder that this is just how I see her impact in today's popular culture.. I could be wrong

This swedish female singer made a "Lana clone" song:
 

 
And this band from Israel obviously loves Lana too:

You've done great coverage, thank you! I'm loving all of the pictures and video you've been able to find. 

Lana with a fan (her dress is blue)


 
RIP white dresses
Edit:Giving me black and blue/White and gold teas

Forgot to mention, tomorrow is Leonardo Dicaprio's Gala thing, Lana is gonna perform..
I'll try to update on that on the existing thread for the event..
 
Sidenote: I know my coverage of this show is a bit messy and I tend to edit a lot so I hope it wasn't troublesome 
I'll try to improve next time

Nope, unfortunately. I'm using Pixlr online editor, which kind of sucks/has really confusing controls, but my computer is hella slow, so 
 
 
 
Ooh, you're right! The trailer screenshot is from one of the Gramma videos, so that would work!
 
 
I can't read sarcasm so I really hope this is serious bc you are my hero oml 

um i love it

i think it'd look nice as a cover for Gramma

I thought this initially too, but didn't post (idk why) so ya Gramma is prob best. Put Me in a Movie maybe too?
 
(btw your sig is amazing @)

I don't know what to do next with this edit... it started out as an AKA cover, but I don't know. Suggestions?
