There's all of her music videos, plus behind the scenes footage into the making of the album. The dude rocking out with the giant scarf and acoustic guitar is too cool, the head-nodding bassist is hip to the jive, and the guitarist, with his leather jacket, black shades and mop-top haircut, looks straight out of the Mooney Suzuki. How could it go wrong?
10. Good Charlotte Four Pin Set Hot Topic, $5.99
Any friend will be totally blown away when they receive the ability to show their love for GC with these four awesome pins. "Hold on" to the receipt though, because there is a slight possibility that they could be a GC hater. You can "say anything," but it might not sway the "lifestyle" they've "made" for themselves. Those who are anti-GC will get lumps of coal in their stocking this holiday season and are in need of a good "motivation proclamation."
