Yeah, these are pricey, the second one is this reporter bag, with 'used' price being over 1200$ and full price being over 3000$. I myself always wondered why some people see it sensible to pay a couple grand just to have 'the right' brand stamped on top. There isn't a single mass produced wearable item sold on the market that can justify having a price of over 1000$, quality rises up to a couple hundred, but then it flattens out. and this bag is ugly af

I have to admit, they just don’t look like a match. Now they could be totally in sync with one another, I don’t know. I do think it’s good for Avril to be dating someone who isn’t famous. She was way too revealing and show-y with Chad, to the point it felt fake and forced. She looks really happy and healthy here so good for her. Just remember when you’re touring Avril, it’s okay to bring outfits like these and retire the cute ice cream skulls.

I remember as far back as the LG era she had a Chanel makeup bag that cost like $300. She showed it on one of those documentaries and one of her band mates was incredulous and he's like “Does it come with makeup?” Lol Oh yes Avril has always been I think a lot more into fashion and girly things than she let on. Why would a skater girl from a small Canadian town care about buying a $300 designer makeup bag?
As far as designer bags go, well I don’t think any bag is worth spending thousands on, but the more expensive bags are generally better quality and last for years. So it’s not a totally frivolous purchase on her end. She has the money. It’s not like she’s spending her money on drugs. For all we know, she’s donated bags she doesn’t want anymore to a shelter. I think it’s hypocritical of her though to make Abbey Dawn with cheap material and charge a hefty price. Like if she’s all about good quality products for herself, she should make her own line with good quality or at least charge an affordable price.

True, well, it’s a price you have to pay for the millions you make, I guess. Unless you're Rachel, of course. She's the exception I came here just because Rachel was mentioned. She can do as she pleases because, after all, she has the looks and the body, and even if she didn't, she is an extremely good vocalist and all of Cardiff knows it- and they know it around towns too. She is a 10, and you don't get any better than that. Actually Avril should start taking notes on her outfits if she wants to pass as a decent tribute act -And those were my 2 cents because I don't know anything about bags except that they are used to carry things inside. Anyways, about that 300 $ Chanel make-up bag...it really doesn't come with make up? I mean, are there REALLY designer bags specifically made for make up but they are sold without it?

After skimming through this, I get a better idea now of why he and Avril are together. He owns a business, he cares about the environment, and he is a cancer survivor. They share some of these things in common, I mean Avril has AD and she’s vegan and cares about children and obviously had Lyme disease. It kind of makes sense. And people think he’s some jobless loser... lol dude has his own business.

He owns a business, that's okay, hardly an achievement when you've been a multimillionaire since birth, but at least he seems to be more than just a trust fundie. He cares about the environment, but that's more or less a fad that almost everybody who is middle class or above claim to follow. Are private jets green? What about his luxurious estate, can humongous open air swimming pools be green? Him investing in sustainable technology hardly makes him an environmentalist, given that the sector is experiencing a boom, and investments bring good returns. Literally everybody capable to do so is investing in (supposedly) eco-friendly solutions, including industrial giants associated with environmental degradation, such as BP, Shell, Aramco, Exxon, etc. The fact that he had cancer must've indeed been the thing that made Avril and mystery man connect, but all else is nothing really surprising info.

It said something about his company investing in some thing that provides safe transportation for children. I didn’t read the whole article carefully and yeah most companies nowadays look for ways to be sustainable because they kind of are required to but I mean in general it seems like he cares about certain causes, like safe transportation for children. I mean you could say AD is probably made by sweat labor in factories in China where the workers probably get shit, doesn’t mean she doesn’t still care about humanitarian causes.

I've got nothing against him being rich. Maybe he spends all his free time busy spending money. lol! See, I was right. He essentially spends all his free time spending money/investing money... that's what rich people do.
