I absolutely love Lana Del Rey so much!! I think she is such a wonderful person and so easy to connect to through her beautiful lyrics!! She’s so original in everything she does and always keeps creative control over her music and videos. That, in itself, is amazing!!! She’s such a power house!
Not only is she stunning and continues to have the best hair and makeup on the scene, but her outfit choices are always so on point! I love that she mixes a sweet 50s look, with a touch of ghetto, and rounds it off with a badass attitude and some leather! She has some of the best style around.
Her most recent masterpiece is a short film she wrote called “Tropico” that includes three of her songs. It’s so visually stunning and depicts LA in a way most people don’t see it. It’s truly wonderful. Warning: if you are easily offended or disturbed, do not watch. It’s pretty explicit.
Here’s a few Lana quotes that I love:
“When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It’s a real release.”
“I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.”
“I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn’t think I’d have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn’t know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.”
“When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.”
And my all time favorite:
“A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I’m writing about New York.”
Stay beautiful!!
