Hahaha yeah that’s true I suppose - it’s the way she says it that got me. Glad the acting thing never really took off. It’s funny how many singers back then dipped their toes into everything. Music, film, modelling, perfumes, clothing. Stay in your lane lol!

The perfume, clothing line, and modeling was kind of cool tho. I liked her Chanel photoshoots. Abbey Dawn was really lame at the beginning and now but around 2013 she had sole cool stuff. The perfume I never tried but I'm glad she got one too. I liked the commercials and her camera ads too.

Yeah I really liked her modelling shots. Facially she was stunning back then (still is, but her features were so defined it really suited the model look!). I think I had one of her perfumes and it was ok as a teenager. The clothing was never really my thing but given her style was so popular then I get why they did it.

I think it’s alright that she expanded her brand into other things besides music. The acting I never really got from her as she’s not that good at it but she did grow up acting in community theater so I get why she wanted to do it. The clothing line in particular felt very authentic to her since it was so clearly inspired by her style. I actually really liked the early pieces, I think by 2012/2013 era it started getting uglier and more tacky looking. Now it just looks like boring, basic merch.
I have all 3 of her perfumes and I like them. It’s questionable how much she was involved with their creation though. But it’s honestly so common for celebs to do clothes, fragrances, etc. and just slap their name on something without really doing much, I think it’s safe to say Avril was at least somewhat involved in the things she made so I think as long as she didn’t just slap her name on something, there wasn’t an issue with her expanding into other things.

I know Avril was only 17 at the time and likely playing up the tomboy, “Anti-Britney” image, but some of her comments about Britney Spears are a little cringe. According to Today, Avril said that Britney “dresses like a showgirl” and dances “like a ho”. She then goes on to say “I mean, the way Britney dresses, would you walk round the street in a fucking bra? You won’t see me on stage in a sexy outfit or my hair in ribbons. If that’s what someone wants to do then so be it, but I wouldn’t be seen dead looking like that”. It’s also pretty ironic since Avril would later start wearing bows and dressing in a “sexy” way during The Best Damn Thing era. I attribute that more to her growing up and trying different ways to express herself though.

She was asked about those comments on TRL and it’s not exactly clear if Avril ever really said those things in those exact words. When asked if she said that, Avril was like “No! I just said I’m different from her and the media likes to stick words in artists’ mouths.”
I can believe Avril might have thought some slut-shamey things about Britney back then considering she grew up in a conservative environment and was probably taught “nice girls don’t dress like that” kind of thing. And that wasn’t her own style, she probably thought it was a cheap sellout move to sell music when she felt she had more valuable things to say. But I think almost everyone has those thoughts at that age and then you get older and realize it isn’t that big a deal if some people want to dress more revealing than you do. She’s pretty much always said “we are different artists, she’s doing her thing and I’m doing my thing” and there were many times where she did stand up for Britney and say how mean and dumb she thought the whole anti-Britney thing was. And those are things she verifiably said on camera, not questionable quotes in print articles that she may have never even said.

I won't lie about that. Even if she did, she quickly changed her tune when I think she realized how out of hand the whole thing was getting. And years later Avril went to her show in Vegas, so clearly there is no bad blood between them.

I honestly miss the perfumes. I love a lot of the ones musicians have been releasing lately and if I had enough disposable income I'd have a shelf full. I'm surprised she hasn't released an Abbey Dawn one, or an AD-branded make-up line. I doubt it would be as fancy as some other celeb lines but given the eye makeup she has worn over the years a palette or two, some lipstick, and liner probably would have done okay.

She mentioned a long time ago wanting to do a cosmetics line but I guess it never happened.

I still can't decide if HK is cringey or the hottest thing ever, especially this part: The glasses, the side buzzcut, the hips just, I can't

Yeah I think it's kinda a bit of both isn't it?! She looks so confident there but the whole image in a candy store is a bit cringey hahaha!
