Avril Lavigne is coming to Macau in September
Vocal pop princess Avril Lavigne is coming performing in Macau for the first time on September 26 at The Venetian’s Cotai Strip CotaiArena.
“The Best Damn Tour” kicked off on March 5 in hometown Canada, she’ll be heading to Shenzhen, Chengdu, Lijiang and Shanghai and finally final stop Beijing on August 6.
Currently sporting pink locks, she’ll be performing on a pink piano with a pink drum kit.
Yes, the girl loves pink
Back in 2002, when I first met her, she was a surly tomboy on the brink of stardom with the release of Lets Go, which spawned massive hits like Sk8tr Boy and I’m With You.
Answering most questions with a monosyllabic yes or no, or even a silent glare, she had the whole Don’t Give a Damn attitude down pat.
Did she wear make-up? Never – only a smidgen of eyeliner, she insisted. As for dresses – she complained that she preferred sneakers and baggy pants any day.
“And why did every other teenage girl have to copy her and wear a tie?”, she complained.
How to tell the Old Avril from the new version:
Tie - check
Baggy pants - check
T-shirt of singlet - check
Scowl - check
Asked for a beauty tip, she answered – “peanut butter – I put it on every night before going to bed”.
When asked if she was serious - she deadpanned: “Of course not.”
Back then, favorite product, “I use toothpaste on zits. I’m not kidding about that one.” As for hair care, “I hardly wash my hair. I do it, like, about once a week.” And makeup? “I just go with black eyeliner,” she said. “I’ve been using it since I was in high school.”
Back then, Avril didn’t wash her hair much
One opinion she was vocal about was that she’d rather be dead than be caught in the skimpy clothes that Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera favored.
“I won’t wear skanky clothes that show off my booty, my belly or boobs”
How things have changed since then. The punk teen has morphed into a sophisticated bride, serious actor and fashion role model with her own line of clothing.
Her husband, by the way is Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley.
She’s also learned how to vamp it up
