When it comes to bringing the sexy, there are two things a woman needs, according to Avril Lavigne: "Attitude and confidence," as she told Maxim magazine for their November issue.The 26-year-old singer is gracing Maxim's cover for a third time, and a lot has changed since she first posed for the publication when she was just 19.“I’m older and more comfortable with my femininity. The first time I was about 19 and was very nervous. I was more of a tomboy, I guess,” Lavigne said.Her style sensibility isn’t the only thing that’s morphed.
After hits like “Sk8er Boi” and “Complicated,” the singer says she’s ready to produce an album that isn’t totally about boys.“This album is the first that is not boy-bashing,” she told Maxim with a laugh, but admitted that she’ll definitely draw from personal experiences. “I have officially just wrapped the album. I’ve been working on it for about two and a half years. I’ve lived a lot, gone through a lot, and put a lot into my songwriting.
These songs are very meaningful to me.”As for other star songstresses who are dominating the charts like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Ke$ha, Lavigne told the magazine that “it’s an interesting period in music right now” that’s fueled by a lot of ‘80s inspiration.“A lot of girls are really into their image and costumes and going over the top,” she said, but added that Ke$ha is a favorite. “Her songs are fun to party to and her lyrics are hilarious.”Ke$ha may be on her party playlist, but you’ll have a hard time catching Lavigne going hard in Hollywood, an environment that she thinks might’ve led to the downfall of a few other famous names.“I got here on my own. I came from a small town and grew up in a regular home.
I know what I’ve worked hard for,” Lavigne said. “I’ve seen a lot of people who have gone a little crazy and who are really into the Hollywood scene. I don’t really like to hang out with people like that.”So who is she interested in hanging around? Lavigne, who filed for divorce from musician Deryck Whibley last October, wasn’t shy about spilling what she’s looking for a man.“I like a classy man, a gentleman who opens the door and gives flowers and always puts the lady first,” she said. “I’m a little old-fashioned like that.”Check out the full interview with Avril Lavigne in the November issue of Maxim
