Vanessa Hudgens is LVR Magazine’s Holiday issue cover star

Actress Vanessa Hudgens is gracing the cover of LVR Magazine’s fantasy fashion-filled Holiday issue, opening up to writer Roxanne Robinson about her obsession with witchcraft, wanting to take her future kids to Disneyland, and how she’s trying to up her interest in politics. “The news wasn’t on non-stop in my home, and my parents weren’t overly political,” she says. “So it’s overwhelming, but I am trying to study the issues and do my part, specifically for women and the reasons their voices matter so much right now. I feel the responsibility now more than ever; I’m thinking about the world I want to raise my kids in.” And speaking of kids, she took readers down memory lane with the reminder that before High School Musical, she made her industry debut in Thirteen. “People sometimes forget I was in Thirteen,” she laughs, referring to the infamous 2003 film about teenagers by Catherine Hardwicke and Nikki Reed. “What I took away from that experience at 13 was that I wanted to pierce my belly button!” Read the full feature, with styling by Jason Bolden, here.
