lorde seems like a really awkward person..
There’s one mistake,she don’t have Croatian ancestry,she have Serbian ancestru.
Oh yes of course because Dalmatia (region from which her mothers family emigrated to New Zeland) is also in Serbia? I must’ve been crazy all my life, considering I’m from Dalmatia and it is part of Croatia last i cheeked, but obviously i’ve been living in Serbia all along? Srbija do Tokija!
These measurements are faaar off. 26 inches? No way. She’s a much healthier 28 at least. She’s certainly bigger than a lot of young starlets on the scene, and she’s happy about it. So don’t change her size to suit the others!
She has beautiful hair. (SIGH)She is very good looking!
I think Lorde is an incredible songwriter, I love her album and also her performances. She’s also stunningly good looking, an awesome girl!
NO way she is 128 lbs… I’d say @ least high 30’s
She never wears size 6. I´m 5´7 or 5´8 so taller than her and i have 34-25-33 and wear size 6. She probably wears size 8 (maybe 10).
i had s*x w/ her so she’s a lesbian and ps she is sooo good in bed.
hahaha no you didnt. ill bet shes great in bet and her sexuality has never been confirmed, she could be bi but shes probably straight? dont be ridiculous
She weighs 128 lbs and is a 36B she has a wide back and her hip size is 91.5
Her bra size is a 36B her back is wide but her three sizes remain 87-68.5-89 and her shoe size is 10 (US)
Her shoe size is 8.5 US
She is exactly 2 sizes bigger in shoes
She’s a 32C
Lorde has stated several times that she likes hashbrowns from mcdonalds
and her favorite drink is orange juice and she said she likes The Office
I could be wrong but I would suspect her to be what humans call lizard people, or vampires, or werewolves, I should know I am one and as to her being awkward yes that is correct because as we are functionally human there are so many differences. And on top of that it becomes very difficult to connect on a deep level with humans, our brains don’t think the same way and we naturally feel different. Which will lead to isolation or keeping a facade up around everyone you ever come into contact with, or you do what I do and own it and tell people and freak people out be called crazy and be hated by people just because your different.
