Avril Lavigne gave an interview with OK magazine, about her new clothing line, Abbey Dawn, cancels show on the Best Damn Tour, rumors of party, rumor-only blonde, back-up singers, and much more. This is the Q & A:
* There are a multitude of fans lined up around the site today to see you and meet your new clothing line. How do you feel about it?
It feels like my birthday or something. It is a totally new experience for me - have a multitude of people and really has nothing to do with my music.
* In what way were you in the design?
I am the designer and the concept obviously came from me. As regards the design goes, I sat down and told everyone what I like and what not, and clothing is basically all I want to use.
* It was important for you to keep prices low for your clothes?
It is certainly important. The clothes I wear are accessible. I do not really worry to much high end, so almost everything is $ 24 - $ 48 making it really accessible to young people.
* Where does the name Abbey Dawn?
Is the nickname of my father when I was a child. It was my alias name when I started my musical career. I used to think maybe I'll get a girl and call her Abbey one day, but I have a clothing line first.
* Speaking of which: Are you thinking about having children someday?
Oh God! I do not want to have children within 10 years. I have yet much to do. Do not even know if I could handle a dog now. I'm not as smart. Someday I'll be a mom, but not until I'm in my 30.
* It was their second wedding anniversary on July 15. How did you celebrate with Deryck?
We went at night to our favorite restaurant and had a day and a very romantic night. If I were not on tour right now, I would have gone on vacation to Hawaii or something, but I'm staying home on weekends.
* How can you keep a relationship strong when you're on tour for so long?
We communicate via e-mail and talk on the phone. I'm always on my Blackberry. He goes out and visit. I was just in Europe and left for two weeks at the beginning of the tour and two weeks at the end of the tour.
* It is really good, see Deryck around because he is so talented and helps me to give me notes on the show. Then I took voice lessons was like "wait, is the best voice I ever heard." Has a very good ear.
* So when Deryck is not around, how we spend the majority of the dancers on your tour?
I'm very close with some guys from the band and dancers. We come together to hang out. Always end up being friends with dancers, because they spend enough time with me and no one else around.
* A dancer said to have asked to dye their hair brown to be the only blonde on stage. Is that true?
All were brown but one of my favorite girls was blonde, we came across' You've got to have brown hair. It looks good.
I wanted to see my girls really like punk with black hair and this is pretty standard for everyone, like Madonna and Mariah Carey. If they are blond, deverías not see another blonde on stage.
* What do you say about the rumors of you on the internet bother you?
Yes of course, like a human it can be hurtful, but at the same time not let it affect me to because there are more positives than negatives continuing. It is probably some chick Napanee, Ontario can not believe where I am today.
