"And I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. We both knew it, right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult - we were faced with more challenges.

I begged him to stay. Try to remember what we had at the beginning.

He was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in every woman’s head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn’t contain himself. I always got the sense that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him.

And in that way I understood him and I loved him. I loved him, I loved him, I loved him.

And I still love him. I love him."




Beautiful, beautiful, flawless. I cried at the end. Love her so much ♥

Ahaha the icon just seemed appropriate. No hard feelings lol! I actually just love that icon. I think she looks so adorable when she's making that grumpy face :)

I've never actually used Instagram, I can't wrap my head around it or why it's so popular. Tumblr is just being bombarded with all these instagram photos lately, it's driving me nuts!

Those were my favourite parts - her as marilyn (which I thought was spot on) and then of course the monologue. I think she wrote it. She writes a lot, other than songs I mean. Or so I've heard. Everytime she starts saying "And I loved him, I loved him" I want to cry, because it just sounds so sincere.

I dont have an iphone so i've never used instagram either. but lots of my friends use it on facebook. its all the rage.

I did a quick bit of googling but i cant seem to find out whether Lana wrote the monologue or is quoting. i think it would be more gorgeous if she were really quoting Jackie O but ah well, who knows.
