Girly Nation: Would you rather go on tour in Europe or in the United States?
Marissa: Everywhere!
Lauren: Both!
Marissa: They're both two really different places and the fans are different too. We've done a little bit around here so far, so we definitely want to go to Europe now. Europe is great!

Girly Nation: Who does your makeup and hair or do you do it yourself?
Lauren: It depends--if it's a really big show, we have somebody come in and do it for us. But if it's a small show like a mall show or we're doing stuff around our hometown we do our hair and makeup. Like today, we did our own makeup
So it depends on what kind of show we're doing

Marissa: It's incredible!
Lauren: It's awesome! We're so excited! It's such an honor to be able to do that.

Girly Nation: Are you nervous for that?
Marissa: Yes. Well, Lauren doesn't get nervous that much. Well, she gets nervous, but it's more like adrenaline.
Lauren: But Zoraida gets nervous, she's just like "oh my gosh!"
But I'm just telling her "it's going to be ok..."
Zoraida: The minute the music starts, the nervousness goes away, it turns into adrenaline onstage. It's very very exciting!
