"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."
