    Wow! Not very often does a caucasian woman make Japanese women look bad, but Avril does just that!

    Well, given the crowd that's not too hard.

    Why do people want to wear jeans with holes ripped in them? I've never understood it.

    Haha, I read your comment just as I was squinting at the photo to try to see what Avril is wearing under those jeans.

    Why doesn't JT link to bigger versions of photos anyway...

    A nice opening ceremony intentionally attracts Japanese consumers, especially fans of Avril Lavigne.

    Avril Lavigne? Is she still around? I thought she'd faded from the spotlight years ago.

    Why is a Canadian girl attending an opening for an American company in Japan? I always thought Canadians were so nationalistic.

    alphawolf: To each their own and all that, I know and understand, but how you could think she makes Japanese girls look bad...

    Foxie: trust me, I wish when people like Lavigne and Bieber make the media their names were not preceded by 'Canadian singer/actor (name)...'. Sucking at music and/or acting isn't limited to one nationality, nor should it be particularly important where the person is from (or when not sucking, for that matter).

    Levigne has some good songs out there, but I preferred her in her natural black hair than this bleached and colored train wreck she's wearing now.

    Avril is looking very nice, and them ripped jeans are great! I love milky white legs.

    Sarge, The girl on the left is wearing "grandma jeans" she needs a pair cut shorter and grey doesn't look good in jeans. The one with blue jeans has no hips. Avril is hot..

    why is it that all the has-been stars from the West come to Japan to drag out their lacklustre careers

    Because the Japanese are still fascinated by western culture and the has-beens are less expensive for the managers. Just like the baseball players.

    Being the opening of a GAP store ratty jeans and hats with holes would be there at a high price. Where is Depp?

    As far as the women go, they are all cute but unobtainable....

    Compared to other vulgar starlets from America, Avril looks really cute.

    Most of those girls appear to be wearing GAP namebadges. You'd probably run into them if you visited the Ginza store (except for Avril, of course).

    I'm not sure what percentage of western people have colorful hair but I still find dark hair to be more classy. She's still cute tho. Hey Hey You You!

    Really? Doesn't work for me. Now I have a sore finger from madly clicking everywhere.

    I have no problem when they explain that Avril is from Canada. Many great singers are.... Heart, Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray.. I don't think it's politically incorrect to do so.

    I like Avril. Go Avril.

    I think the Japanese girl on the left (behind the girl wearing the black& white print dress) looks like Miki Ando.
