She might be the daughter of the Queen of Pop, but Lourdes Leon a.k.a. Lola is happy to slum it in the mud with the other mere mortals.
While some more Hollywood type prefer the manicured lawns, fountains and mister-fans backstage at Coachella, Lola headed to The Hudson Project music festival in Saugerties, NY for something a little more gritty, and according to her blog, she was more than okay with it. Also, she’s clearly quite the little hipster with her love of indie music.
‘Big Gigantic played a set right as the sun was setting and it started to rain but it just made everyone that much more into it and it was just an hour of everyone stomping and dancing in the mud,’ Lola writes in her newest Material Girl blog. ‘WOW AND THE PEOPLE YOU SEE!! For example a completely butt ass nekkid man that was running around during a GRiZ set trying to start up fights with people. Or the man who was literally dancing with a stick for like 45 mins. A stick. A little stick. No one gives a rats booty about anything and it’s so great.’
The 17-year-old, who just graduated high school (and admits she had a little champagne at prom), says she didn’t even think about getting dirty and shared pictures of her muddy trainers as well as side-stage shots – well, you didn’t think she would have a general admission ticket did you?!
‘I think music festivals bring out the animal in you especially if it’s a camping festival. Your phone is dead like three hours in and obviously you can’t plug it anywhere. There’s nothing to do but sleep, eat, dance around like crazy and listen to bomb ass music. You get so dirty but you don’t even think about that. There is so much that you just don’t care about because there’s nothing u can do about the dreads in your hair or the actual layer of dirt on you, or your dead phone, or like ridiculously muddy shoes (peep the instagram). You just end up letting everything rock and focus on the music and the people around you. The other awesome thing is that literally everyone is on the same boats as you; all there to appreciate the music, and the sense of togetherness is like nothing I ever have experienced. I truly hope I can go to another one sometime soon it was an amazing weekend.’
Lola just graduated from to the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art Performing Arts in Manhattan and in September is bound for the University of Michigan where she is enrolled in an arts programme. Her mother was also a student at the university back in the day, before dropping out to pursue stardom in New York.
