Question for the Culture: Lana Del Rey & Influencers' Late 2010s LA

As three girlies from the Northeast, we perceived Los Angeles as a fantasy world of glamor & excess. We soon came to realize that the city is, in reality, an oversaturated, consumer-driven land of fleeting fame. In this episode, we discuss Lana Del Rey's idealized image of Los Angeles & how influencers robbed the city of its charm.

I gotta disagree. New York is also a staple for where "dreams come true," not just LA. Also I would say that she didn't really grow into her fashion... if you read her interviews she says that she has no fashion sense and that she lets her stylist dress her and that her little sister would be appalled if anybody ever gave her credit for her style 😂😂
