No fooling: Avril’s a lean, Lavigne pink-rock machine
April 9th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
Despite the skull and crossbones, Avril Lavigne is a good role model.
Now 23, she promotes girl power by delivering marginal attitude mixed with a refreshing brand of femininity that doesn’t require a bare midriff.
She writes songs like “Don’t Tell Me,” about actually not sleeping with a boy who wants to hop in the sack.
And she delivers a solid if not spectacular live show that is edgy enough to keep teen girls engaged, but not edgy enough to embarrass their chaperone fathers.
Plus, her skull-and-crossbones trademark is placed inside a pretty pink heart.
Tuesday night at Boston University’s Agganis Arena, Lavigne showcased both the sweet and the sassy in an 80-minute set that was heavy on backup dancers, ballads, black eyeliner and the color pink.
