I was a little disappointed that they had a peroxide-blonde, glammed-up Avril (of Nepean, ON) representing the good people of British Columbia. So hard to find obstinately grungy punk-pop princesses these days. Couldn't they at least locate an actual BC-born peroxide blonde, like say Pamela Anderson?

Napanee! Napanee! And as far as Kingston is concerned Napanee is "The West".

You're correct. Heaven knows how I conflated Nepean and Napanee... Although I do think Avril somehow got ahold of Pam's boots for that performance.

What are you saying, Mr. Taylor? Is that a hip urban euphemism used by the sub-40s set that I am not privy to? "Got ahold of Pam's boots": I'd like to use that in daily usage if I but knew its meaning.

Regrettably it's nothing nearly so entertaining -- but we could always launch the phrase and hope for the best. In the context of last night's Closing Ceremonies, I guess it's akin to the far more accessible "tarted up".
...But seriously, what the heck has happened to Avril Lavigne? Her dye job makes her look like an also-ran Shakira wearing Pam's <i>VIP</i> show wardrobe.

She grew up? It's kinda like when Chrissie Hynde got happy the album after the excellent <i>Learning to Crawl</i> around 1985.
