"Lana Del Rey wants to tell you what she’s wearing. Sometimes, as on her break-out, heartsick single “Video Games,” it’s her man’s “favorite sundress.” Often—twice on her album Born to Die, out today—it’s a “red dress.” Elsewhere: leather tight around her waist, a white bikini, a red bikini, a “party dress,” ribbons for her hair, “glass room perfume / cognac lilac fumes,” nail polish, mascara. Elaborate descriptions? No. But what Del Rey puts on and takes off form a big part of what we know of her through her lyrics."
This is more important than the author realises, and not in the way that he thinks.

This is probably a good time for me to say that one of the best Lana “talking about what I’m wearing” moments is “running from the cops in our black bikini tops” in “This Is What Makes Us Girls” because it evokes all the vivid memories of when I was fifteen.
