“The issue with Lana Del Rey is not whether she is some corporate test-tubed ingénue, but why we are unwilling to believe that she is animated by her own passion and ambition — and why that makes a hot girl so unattractive. The big question here is not: Is she real? But, rather, why it seems impossible to believe that she could be.”
— This is the gist of my Lana Del Rey story, if you are not burnt out entirely on her yet, you can read the whole thing over at SPIN. As my editor said “contains actual reporting”. It is a bit about the story of the story, the myth of the myth, sexism, dreams coming true and how a bad girl went good. (via tinyluckygenius)
