The wholesome is definitely intentional and drilled into me. I mean, we weren't allowed to pierce our ears growing up. We didn't wear makeup. We couldn't have layers in our hair, perms, or color, or manicures. My dad didn't think it was ladylike. My dad just felt like his daughters should be wholesome.

But I always had a hairbrush in the mirror singing. I was always with him backstage; I would go out and be pulled in for the last song. Lisa Marie Presley backstagedadhairbrush share on social

My family, they're story tellers. My mom is Irish, and my dad is Italian. In my family, we weren't allowed to watch TV while we ate - we had to sit around the table and tell stories about our day. Meg Cabot allowdadday Change image and share on social
