There were some people who were cynical
when Avril Lavigne first burst onto the scene as a 17-year old pop princess.
With a pseudo-punk attitude and catchy tunes, there were many people who
questioned her authenticity. What there was no denying however, was her appeal
to young girls around the world. Whether her image was in fact a manufactured
persona or, at least in part, a product of Lavigne herself, the appeal was
genuine and undeniably huge, making her for a time one of the biggest music
stars in the world.
For a girl from a small Canadian town,
the achievement of selling nearly 30 million records is nothing to sneeze at.
Though other big acts, such as Rush and Neil Young, were also from small
Canadian towns their success has come over decades of touring and cult acclaim.
Even big stars like Shania Twain and Celine Dion spent their early years
struggling to find a voice but for Lavigne the success was instantaneous and
massive. By the time her third album was tearing up the record charts it
appeared, briefly, that her success might have been more than a flash in the pan
but since then not much has happened, at least on the music front. Now with
promises of a new album and a tabloid romance with Brody Jenner, Lavigne has
apparently continued to believe that she is still relevant, at least to
herself.
"Avril is currently on vacation and will
be touring this summer, at least briefly. She's also been working hard on her
new album which we expect will be released sometime this year. She's also
continuing with her clothing line and her perfume. She's also remaining active
in all her charitable causes," said a spokesperson for the singer. "Avril wants
her fans to know that she hasn't forgotten about them and very shortly their
patience will be well rewarded. She just knows that the long wait for her new
album will be more than worth it."
Official estimates put the number of
Avril Lavigne fans at about 14, though estimates by her label put the number
slightly higher.
Q: I’m getting ready for summer Fridays
and long weekends. What are the five things I need? — Daniela,
Maryland
A: My boys and I are counting down the
days — we spend our weekends in Southampton. We go to clam bakes, we fish, and
my boys surf (I watch), so layers are essential — a graphic button-down shirt I
throw over shorts, a classic cotton cardigan, white jeans and flat sandals. And,
of course, sunglasses and a swimsuit! — Tory

It’s one of the most anticipated films of
the year, and "Alice in Wonderland" looks to be bringing a stellar soundtrack
along with it.
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him
as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy
clothes
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasnt good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to
earth
5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all
alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they’ve all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned
down
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Did your pretty face see what he's
worth?
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine
now
We are more than just good
friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the
eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the
show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
Stepping out for the "Alice in Wonderland" Royal World Premiere in London England, Avril Lavigne was spotted
arriving to the soiree which was held at the Odeon Leicester Square on Thursday
.
The punky singer looked beautiful in a
long black dress and dazzling diamond necklace as she posed for the snapping
paparazzi.
Contributing to the “Alice in Wonderland”
soundtrack, the 25-year-old sang "Alice" for the film- the song that plays over
the movie's end credits.
In other news, Avril will be making a
musical appearance on March 3rd during Jay Leno’s first week back to the
"Tonight Show."
Looking to blow off some steam and have
some fun, Avril Lavigne was spotted partying at the VIP Room nightclub in Saint
Tropez, France last night .
The "Sk8er Boi" songstress looked to be
having a marvelous time as she laughed and chatted with fellow clubgoers. Also
in the house was Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli.
Earlier this week, Avril showed the world
that she and husband Deryck Whibley are still very much going strong in their
marriage.
On Monday night, they hit up Madeo
restaurant in West Hollywood for some delicious Italian eats, doing their best
to avoid the paparazzi as they made their way to the car.
It's one of the most anticipated films of
the year, and "Alice in Wonderland" looks to be bringing a stellar soundtrack
along with it.
Among the artists involved is punk-rock
pop star Avril Lavigne, who's song "Alice (Underground" is the lead
single.
In addition to Ms. Lavigne, the
soundtrack, titled Almost Alice, will also feature the All-American Rejects, Owl
City, Shinedown, Metro Station, and All Time Low.
"Alice in Wonderland," starring Johnny
Depp and Anne Hathaway is set to hit theaters all over America on March 5th,
2010.
Do you like Tory Burch?This is a
wonderful person.She has brought us not only as simple as a brand , but also an
attitude to life .
In an impressively short time, Tory Burch
has created a multimillion-dollar lifestyle brand based on herself. Raised in an
historic Georgian house on rolling acres in Pennsylvania, she was a tomboyish
kid more likely to be found up a tree than in a dress. Still, she soaked up
plenty of style from her parents, who were among the Main Line gentry: Her
father, heir to a paper-cup fortune, designed his own clothes and lined his suit
jackets with Hermès scarves; her mother favored the easy patrician chic of
Jacqueline Onassis. Burch credits her family as a primary influence on her
taste, along with the decorator David Hicks, whose color-charged graphics from
the sixties and seventies still look "very fresh" to her today.
Burch studied art history and then honed
her public relations chops with jobs at Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, and Narciso
Rodriguez. As a designer whose approach is informed by her foundation in
marketing, rather than fashion school, she is an interesting case study. Over
the years she envisioned the Tory Burch empire to come, amassing tear sheets
from magazines and old photos in an ever-burgeoning scrapbook. She launched her
first collection out of the Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan that she
shared with her then-husband and business partner, Chris Burch. A downtown
boutique followed; and, in an indicator of the phenomenal retail success to
come, nearly all inventory was cleared out on opening day.
Burch set her sights on an overlooked
market: aspirational mid-career women and Bergdorf moms seeking affordable
quality with the timelessness of good taste. Setting her price points lower than
the competition's, she bridged the gap between the haves and the have-nots, in
the hopes that both would want to wear her wares. "Luxury, as I see it, is not
exclusionary,"she told Town & Country in 2008.
With this solid business plan in hand,
Burch tapped in and struck gold. Women clamored for the versatile tunics,
modeled by Burch after a Paris flea-market find, in the bright palette and
prints that have become her signature. Early on, a glowing endorsement from
Oprah gave the brand the proverbial Midas touch. And it has been winged victory
ever since, with urban ballerinas snapping up the trendy Reva flat, emblazoned
with her ubiquitous double-T medallion, in enough colors to put a crayon box to
shame. Tory Burch knows her customers well, and they throng to her
tangerine-walled boutiques to get a piece of the action—that blend of
preppy-chic and boho bling that many of them will want to wear for a
lifetime.

brand ,you can show solicitude for my articals ,I'll update something related to
you regularly.
