If she had actually done sex work she wouldn't glamorise it the way she does, except -maybe- sugar relationships (and the age gap adoration makes sense there too). 

 

why not? I know sex workers who glamorize it.

But that doesn’t mean it’s up for debate on a public website

this might sound dumb but if shes cosplayed as a prostitute, and released songs to the PUBLIC about her being one... shouldn't that mean we're allowed to talk about it

[sympathyisaknife 16,032]

I don't think she was a stripper or a prostitute but I think she mainly explored those subjects in her early days as a way to build and create the all american girl vibe she wanted for BTD/Paradise. The all american girl who loves her daddy then goes stripping for his friends at night like at least thats what it seems to me.

 

I'm not saying that she actually did that because I really don't believe she ever did, but I think that was the vibe she was going for.

let's make it clear that 50% of sirens / aka / born to die / paradise is probably fictional - not necessarily that she completely made it up but she definitely exaggerated or downplayed the truth to a point where it's not really true anymore

just like how i doubt she had a boyfriend kill someone and then get put on the death penalty for it, i doubt she was going around bussin it down in the bedroom for coin

she very possibly could've stripped for a time being though and a. good for her and b. is that really any of our business

regarding the topic, we all know lana is a liar... especially in early songs 

 

Thread outlining all of Lana's lies in songs when? 

 

- Barefoot chickens 

- A marriage that was stopped by groom's mother 

- Buying her truck in the middle of the night 

- There are no apartment complex's in Malibu named "Mariners Apartment Complex"  (altho there's a Mariner's Village in Santa Monica I think) 

- The crypto boyfriend (?)

- Killing her father/daddy and putting him in the trunk 

- Cooking meth (hopefully?)

i feel like, at the beginning of her career when she said “all of my music is 100% autobiographical” or whatever that quote was, people took it the wrong way. you can make art that is 100% about your life and still use metaphors or references to other things to talk about your actual experiences, that doesn’t mean you’re lying, it just means you’re making art which isn’t always supposed to be taken literally or at face value. she used to do that a lot. or she could’ve just been flat out lying she also did used to do that a lot lmao

for all we know the "go go dancer" thing could just be a metaphor for working hard enough to sell yourself - we do know that she actually worked as a waitress after graduating high school and there was also the trailer park period... like how did she make money when she was still a struggling musician

just like elaborating on this, it’s not like she sat down to write songs with the intention of telling a fictitious story about how her boyfriend killed somebody and got put on death row. she sat down to write a song about the emotions that a real situation (that’s not that lol) made her feel, and that extended metaphor is how she expressed those feelings. doesn’t mean she was lying or not writing autobiographically

You're confusing sex work with sex trafficking, beloved

not sure how reliable Princess Superstar is but in that Patreon podcast she did about Lana, she said that Lana took out a loan to make all of the music she did at that time, and then she paid it off after BTD. not our business though just thought it was interesting

Love her. Personally, i think the lyrics are a fantasy, like a play on archetypes or something. But it doesnt make any difference to me either way 

(Not sure if in the QFTC videos she mentioned dancing for money irl or just in Tropico)

I'm sorry but I can not imagine Lizzy era Lana dropping it hot on the pole

the list of her best unreleased songs is pretty much half ultraviolence half post-aka pre-btd 2009 tracks with a couple of AKA, HM & LFL outtakes thrown in
