    I have her first 2 CDs and wore them out, Iove her music. But then came the Avrilteens clothes, now the perfume. Enough.

      Did not know (or forgot?) that she did clothing. Good for her, she can retire early ;-)

    Quite cheezy. That had potential. I thought she’d be going for the “Beauty and the Beast” angle which would have been very cool, imho. In fact at :04, with that weird overhead shot I didn’t know that was Avril and thought it was “the beast”. lol Oh well, I’ll just go re-read Robin McKinley’s “Beauty” instead. :)

      Seemed very Lolita Lempicka to me, crossed with general vampire/goth stuff.

    I thought I was the only one who got a similar feel as from the LL (first fragrance) advert. Actually, I think it’s lovely. I’ve gone crazy for gothic stuff in my old age.
    Her first one smells nice enough, I’ll definitely sniff this one.

    Music reminded me of the Harry Potter theme music.
