Avril Lavigne just couldn’t let her image suffer after she gushed about her new fiance and her teardrop-shaped 14 carat ring. Avril is hardcore, and she’s not going to let a scrapbooking proposal and a junior’s line at Kohl’s hold her back or make us think she’s soft. She dyed her hair green and pink, shaved half it and put some studs in it. Then she went on about the process to US Weekly and OK Magazine as if it was the coolest thing EVER. Avril was granting interviews from fashion week, where’s she’s showing her Abbey Dawn line. It gets better:
“Tonight I got a little wild with my hair dye in my hotel room,” Lavigne admitted to Us Weekly. “I’ve always dyed my hair and had fun with pinks and greens, but this evening I was celebrating Fashion Week, here in New York, and the fact that I’m having a runway show, which is a major deal for me and means a lot.”
“I just got dye happy and dyed my whole hair blond and then went crazy with these colors and studs,” she added. “I actually had pink fingers, but I spent so long washing them.” – From US Weekly
“I figured, ‘We’re going to have our models walking down the runway wearing different colors of hair,’” the “Sk8er Boi” singer says of the brand-new dye job that took place that day. “I just got dye-happy and dyed my whole hair.”
She adds, “I actually had pink fingers, but they’re not pink anymore.”
During the event — in which ex Brody Jenner’s sister Kylie Jenner was the only model not to sport a tuft of colored hair — Avril, 27, collected a bouquet of flowers. Her collection, which features skeleton prints and T-shirts with slogans like “Hey, Sailor” and “I F****** Love You, B****.”
Although her collection is top of mind, her impending nuptials to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, 37, bring out her giddiness. He asked for her hand in marriage Aug. 8 bearing a 14-carat diamond sparkler.
“What was grand about the proposal was the fact that it was really natural,” she says wistfully. “We met in the studio, and were friends for a while. One of our last days in the studio was when he proposed. It was super-romantic, and had a lot of meaning behind it.”
How’s wedding planning going?
“I have been planning in my head,” she says with a laugh.
She’s even considering her wedding gown.
“I’m thinking about it right now, what I want. Either something I’m going to design, or partner up and collaborate with another designer.”
Hm, what will it look like?
“Bad-ass!”
She is even ready for prying questions. When asked, “Are you pregnant?” she responds in kind: “Are you pregnant?”
When asked if she told ex Brody before she announced her engagement, she gives a good-spirited growl. – From OK!
“Balls, brother!” she says with a laugh.
[From OK! Magazine and US Weekly]
Avril is 27 years old. This is something that Willow Smith would do. Even Miley didn’t do her own hair and brag about it, she hired a professional, like one does when they’re past Jr. high.
As for Avril’s “Bad-ass” wedding dress, you know it will have pink skulls and purple stripes on it. I can’t hate on Avril though, she’s made a good living as a perpetually angsty pre-teen, sneering at her parents and blaring the pop music she thinks makes her different from all the other kids who listen to the same drivel. Only in Avril’s case she makes the music.

I don’t understand the whole shaving part of your head trend. What is the point? I wouldn’t hate this at all if she hadn’t shaved it, too. Oh, Avril.

I think it’s a cool haircut if one can manage it and style it right.
That’s one of the main reasons why i’m not sure if I’ll get it myself, I don’t think I can wear it nicely. Though I think if it’s well done one could sport it to work office and to formal situations.
Anywoo, Avril got it so, so wrong… Ugh.

Hi Rocketmerry
I walked into my salon about a month or two ago and three of the stylists had that partially-shaved-head thing going on. During the 90s grunge trend I remember people shaving just the bottom half of the head. Remember that?
I don’t know how I feel about that look.. WTF do you do when the shaved portion starts growing back in?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Hey, TheOriginalKitten!
Yep, growing out that hairstyle is probably a b*tch. I guess one would have to keep shaving the short-haired part of the head.
Ultimately one would probably shave it all down in a nervous fit of exasperation

Avril needs to remember she is 27 not 17 by that age it is just stupid to do what she did to her hair. She should know better, how did this idiot get a fashion line? She wear jeans and t shirts usually either pouting, spitting or scowling. I hope it bombs bigtime. Fashion design should be left to actual fashion designers not musicians and rappers.

That is only true if you are looking to pop music for “hardcore”. Of course pop stars are “only into fashionable non-conformity”. The problem with Avril is that she makes pop music but calls herself “punk” – that invites ridicule.

I don’t think you can be a “celebrity” and be “hard core” like Avril means it. Being a celebrity means buying into a system of packaging yourself for the public – or at least letting someone else package you. Avril’s idea of being “hard core” is saying “f*ck” alot in her songs (I know – I have 3 of her CD’s). Her music is fun but it hasn’t moved forward at all in its style. And angst-y teenage rebellion at age 27 is NOT hard core. It’s just embarassing for someone to have to watch.

I agree. I read an interview with Mickey Rourke once where he laughed off suggestions about him being a rebel by saying the real rebels are doing time in prison. As I said celebrities only do fashionable nonconformity.

When I was 21 I spent the summer living with a bunch of friends in an apartment with no TV. We heard all the music on the radio and Avril’s first song was huge that year. I thought it was just another sugary-sweet pop song, so imagine my shock when I finally saw the video and realised it was supposed to be “punk”.
She’s about as bad-ass as Rainbow Brite.

Absolutely nothing she does is original. That includes her damn music, her clothing line and that dumb ass haircut (she looks like the result of a one night stand between Skrillex and Kelly Osbourne circa 2002). Sooo embarassed for her.
Maybe she should try googling punk? And maybe not just assume that because she owns plaid pants that she’s part of it? Maybe take a look at some of the politics behind it? Then again, that would require depth which is beyond her.

These comments are too good why i read this site – everyone here should be a professional writer; agree esp. with kimbob,marie, nettie and elizabeth – look if i want punk I will listen to the Ramones or the clash; Right, like shaving and dying your hair has never been done Wendy O. Williams and Sioux City Sue and the banshees from the early 80s I believe – correct me someone if my memory fails me.

Speaking as a Canadian, she’s a national embarrassment. She’s a highschool drop-out without an iota of intelligence or class which is evident by her general rudeness, spitting on photogs, etc. The faux hard-core image is ridiculous as she started out as a country-western singer, but then the studio execs took over her career and voila, a manufactured punk.

No, she would not be dressing this way. She didn’t start out “punk,” she wanted to be a country singer but her record label changed her image. If you google images of her in high school right before she got famous, she was totally normal.

I used to dye my hair every color of the rainbow when I was a teenager, and sometimes I do kind of miss being able to say “screw it, I’m dying my hair pink!”. Maybe this means I’m secretly immature, but I think if I ever did something that made me enough money that I wouldn’t have to work a “regular job” for a year or two, I’d probably have one last hurrah with the manic panic because, hey, why not?
I can’t stand Avril, but I sort of don’t hate this look. She can afford to dress as ridiculously as she wants to. The things I take issue with about this girl are more to do with her bratty attitude and god awful music. But, the hair? The hair is ok to me.
Also, how does her fashion line still exist? I swear, this thing came out when I was still in high school. Avril and I are the same age, so that means she’s been churning this crap out for… What? At least nine years? That can’t be right. And how did this line get a show at fashion week? And how is this stuff sold at Kohls and not Hot Topic? Missed opportunity!
