Samson's strength comes from his braids, not just the hair alone. So yeah, I also always thought of braids as a reference to God and strength.
By the way, HAW could've been much better. Conceptually, it's amazing; probably her best "PROJECT", but how they managed it and brought it to life was completely out of place.

I've never seen braids associated with religion or angels but to me they look like they were meant to be warrior braids, like a viking, especially when she wore them with that crown she had sometimes. That look would have been cool for a MV or something, like she's a warrior fighting through dark times. The braids themselves didn't look great quality though
Personally I'm not going to dictate how she should dress or style herself or tell her because she's a woman of a certain age she should look a certain way. She can do what she wants. I might not like the execution of it or think I would wear it but she can present herself how she wants

Yeah agree re a more mature look. She can still be her but make it less teenage. Her look runs the risk of looking a bit of a parody of herself at times. 100% agreed

She can do what she wants. I might not like the execution of it or think I would wear it but she can present herself how she wants I couldn’t agree more!! She’s a grown woman & shouldn’t have to dress to please anyone, but herself regardless of her age & that goes for her hair as well, imo. Personally, I couldn’t care less how she decides to style it.. long/ short or whatever.. it’s her choice. I’m more interested in her music.

I also agree that it doesn't really matter what she wears as long as she feels good and she gives us the best music and performance live. But it's part of her job to be talked about her style. For me, it's all in one when it comes to superstars. I'm looking at the music, the style, the aesthetics, the performance, to an extent the attitude. Similarly, we also have to do it when we go to work. And Avril herself has said fashion and music go together (just look at her hair streaks every era). So I can't really blame people giving constructive criticism of her style as long as they're respectful.

The HAW era was not it when it came to her style. It's almost like she was trying to be someone else. For me, Love Sux was her best era in that department ever since TBDT. Because not only was it very much her, but it was very consistent and not a mess like self-titled or GL.
I think for this album/era something less colorful could work (assuming the album it's going in a different direction than love sux) But like, we don't know where she's going yet, so it's difficult to have an opinion on looks.

Omg Avril is so fickle… just because someone is no longer doing your hair doesn’t mean you have to unfollow them. She spent most of lockdown with Lauren, I would have thought their relationship would have gone past just being professional colleagues, just seems a bit rude.

Whatever happened (if it did at all) between her and Lauren was this week, because they both have followed the same interior designer just a few days ago.

I’m just curious about AL8 & what kinda genre it’s gonna be & if it’s gonna be released this yr. She’s so quiet lately, not a bad thing but I wonder what she’s up to.

This is really nothing new with Avril though, she tends to change her circle of friends with almost every album release for whatever reason. It’s kind of odd.

I would def love AL8 to sound like Im a Mess. It's emo pop rock and the overall mid-tempo and more nostalgic songs would be a great follow up to LS. I agree that LS2.0 would be useless at this point, especially with all the leaks we have it would feel more like LS3.0 tbh... we had enough of it for now.
I would be ok even with HAW 2.0 tbh as long as it's promoted better and has better creative direction. But sound wise, i wouldn't mind. BUT i would prefer UMS 2.0 or Im a Mess style.
I really thought she would release something before the festivals lol...

It’s only January. There is still plenty of time for her to release a single before the festivals?

Lots of time. It could even be after the first few dates. I would love an EP during the festival tour. Switch things up.
