Vanessa Hudgens is Self Sweet
Vanessa Hudgens is set to cover the May 2009 of Self magazine.
The 20-year-old, who is currently in NYC to support boyfriend Zac Efron’s hosting on SNL tonight, dished to the mag about keeping herself protected at all times.
Vanessa shared, “I keep a Taser in my purse for self-defense. I’m moving into a house by myself, and it’s scary.”
As for going au naturel, Vanessa revealed, “Sometimes I feel prettier without makeup. You take it off and you’re like, Oh, there I am! But red lips make me feel sexy . . . It brings out the vixen in you.”
Nashville princess Taylor Swift took the mag’s March 2009 cover.

yay! vaneessa post in time for my bday!
luve her soo much!
and she does look better with out make up.
She is one true beauty. I’m so glad she found out that less is more when it came to makeup. In the early days when she would appear at award shows with the other HSM cast she just wore more makeup than she needed—actually she needs none at all—and it took away from her looks. I loved how she said last year when she was featured in People as one of the most beautiful women that someone she cared a geat deal about finally made her feel that she was beautiful without any makeup. That was sweet. I got to say how much I love her hair just like this.
I like that taylor refused to wear a bikini on the front.. good for her

Why do I care if Jashley broke up? this is a Vanessa thread. She looks really pretty, I wish I looked like her. I hope she has fun in NY with Zac, and I hope he does well, I’m taping it!
GOSH she’s simply STUNNING ..

http://www.vanessa-hudgens.org/photos/thumbnails.php?album=1026
she just can’t stop being so gorgeous !!
@VANESSA HUDGENS IS THE BEST!:
thanks for being NICE…. you rock
and vanessa is gorgeous as always…
taser is dangerous though…. haha
i only have pepper spray…
@eLLa:
Where did you read that?
wooooow she looks amaaaaaaaaaaaazing
looove the piiics and the interview part
so cute that she really went to NYC for zac <333
I don’t get why all girls don’t carry pepper spray or tasers. Especially if you’re walking alone late at night from the subway. its just common sense, its a dangerous world.
@Katty:
in the comments on teamhudgens under the article of V at JFK
someone asked if she changed b4 going 2 the 30 Rock studio
and someone replied saying y was she at 30 rock?
and the reply was she went to see zac
@VANESSA HUDGENS IS THE BEST!:
a Taser is a self-defense electronic control device that affects the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system
She looks lovely. I love that she promotes being healthy, natural,
and true to yourself. She a strong ,self-suffcient,confident young woman and is a perfect choice for the cover. I’m so excited about
SNL and I’m so glad Vanessa is there to support Zac, He’s gonna be
great.
Oh thank god for Vanessa. I mean really, who needs make up ? We’re all naturally beautiful. *sigh* She can be so beautiful and sexy at the same time.
Vanessa is very smart….a taser….that could do good for paparazzi’s.
ugh there she goes copying ashley again
So fierce.
She’s gorgeous
@…:
oh plz for god’s sake ..
now tell me that ash is the first person ever in this world to wear a bikini on a mag cover ..
and that every girl that does that after her is just copying her !!
gee .. some ppl r really weird !!
She looks lovely and that cover pic was perfectly done.
it kinda of funny how Ashley did a cover of a magazine in a bikini and now she doing it. but she do look pretty
she is gorgeous .very focus and talented.
If anyone’s wondering..they do sell it in the u.k..
@zashleyroxzanessasox:
how is that funny?
ashley is not the first person to do a cover in a bikini. get that through your head.
I Love Her!
Go Vanessaaaaa!
i love her.that cover picture of that magazine she is beautiful.
#48 Alexis we dont have that type of magazine here in uk.
@…: how?! ashley needed alot of photoshopping in her picturee
I don’t see why *her* name is here when we should all be gah’ing ans sqe’ing and jdfhdujhbd’ing about Vanessa. But if they should be compared, I’d say that even thought they were both in bathing suits, V’s mag will actually sell……….
omz vanessa is just the prettiest girl ever!!
shes a natural beauty!!
i love her style nd her look nd…just her!!!!!!
im always here 2 support her!!!
nd i think its great that shes in nyc 2 support zac!!
they’re just meant 2 b!!
anybody who says vanessa’s copying ashley and ashley’s copying vanessa are stupid. honestly get over it!! no one’s copying anyone. ashley’s cover was great and so is vanessa’s.
Jade is very few shops the magazine is sold here in England. Huge WHSmith shops, and even Selfridges, that sells almost all American magazines!
She looks very beautiful!

aaaaaaaaa
I LU U ZANESSA
you make me fell so fine!
with or without make up. Vanessa is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
she is very pretty!! thats so sweet that she is supporting zac
Stop with the comparisons. Ashley was not the first and Vanessa will not be the last young beauty to find their pictures on front of a well known magazine wearing some kind of swim ware. Have you people never seen anyone else in the last 10 years do this???
Gorgeous and cute.
HAHAHAH that is HILARIOUS. today me & my friends were talking about carrying tasers and pepper sprays w/us!!!
i love her.. she’s sooo down to earth.
and she looks pretty sexy on that cover!!!!!
i love ya Vanessa! ur my role model!
vanessa is so sexy and coool…
yeii she deserves the attention she is getting, btw i saw a prreview of bandslam thanks to a friend and let me tell you its not baad=)
BEAUTIFUL
@…:
y is she copying ashley…??…
omg some ppl need to stop comparing these 2 girls…!!!…like seriously…i feel like its a primary school playground!
by the way….i swear the camera loves vanessa….she always takes great shots..!!!
Es hermosa!! Inocencia Sexy
vanessa looks BEAU-TI-FUL
she´s one of that girls with natural beauty
make up or no make up she´s always pretty
and she has this innocent sexy vibe that makes you wanna love her
no wonder why zac said “The weird thing that no one expected about Vanessa is that underneath such a sweet girl… is a very sexy woman,” ^^
aww she was in NY supporting zac how cute ^^ she´s such a good GF
lol the taser thing is funny … beware of her paparazzi the girl has a taser and she´s not afraid to use it LOL XP it´s a good thing she´s taking care i´ll be scared to death if i had to live by myself :S
ps: these are the pics of the brazil photoshoot right?
awwwww she looks so sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see Vanessa on yet another cover. I use to try to keep up but she’s been on so many its hard. Loving great as always. I know she’s enjoying her time in NY with Zac.
Thanks for this JJJ
We Love Her.
So perfect in that cover
God Bless V.
Vanessa is perfect! Diva, diva (L)
still waiting for SNL.
i wish Zac the best.

Zanessa Rocks!

whatever 3
who gives a f*ck about her anyways
@…:
apparently a lot of people including you since you commented.
@V…4ever:
who’s gonna buy it??? Whores!
she’s so glamorous! love her!!
so sexy!!!!!!!hot!!!!!sweeet!!!!!
she is the prettiest woman in the world!!!!!!
I think that Vanessa looks very sexy and beautiful without to much effort it just seems to come naturally you can see why Zac is so taken with her.
And so what if Ashley did a cover in a bikini there’s no law that says that only one person is allowed and Zac had his photo shoot with a naked model on top of him so I don’t see what the fuss is with Vanessa’s shot she has clothes on, but as usual she can’t do right for wrong, she is 21 this year so obvioulsy she is going to be on more grown upmagazines and seings she likes to keep fit it seems like a good mag for her to be on.
Seems that Zac picked her up from the airport in NY to there’s a photo on one of her other sites with both her and Zac having a picture taken with fans, great that she is there with him and also they get to spend some time out of LA. and together.
You never know we might get some pictures from the After Party of the show at least the main thing is that they make time to support each other and make time to hook up even where their apart, that’s good in a relactionship it’s what helps to keep it strong still making ime to be together even though your work can sometimes keep you apart.
Wonder if she’ll come back with Zac it would make sense or I would’n be suprised if they get back into LA. without being noticed either way I hope they had a great time in NY and got in some R&R as Zac has a few busy days ahead of him before the L.A premier next week.
so,, cant wait see some picture!!! :]
you know, this is really not intended to be a sexy pose. her arm is partially obscuring her abdominal area and she’s got a cover up on. plus the way she is positioned is definitely showing a playful innocence rather than major sex appeal. i think this is a very appropriate cover for someone her age and who is trying to transition herself. this is a far cry from “sports illustrated swimsuit edition.”
@rosilee9:
Where is that pic of Zac picking her up in NY? Can you post it?
Vanessa is so gorgeous and beautiful..love her so much
hehe oh thats why shes in NY ..kools i hope to see pics of her and zac..its so cute shes there to support him
..and does anyone know if they sell this mag in australia..i’d really love to get it..just leave a reply to me if u noe
..thnx heaps xx
I’m a former Vanessa fan but then that racy photo leaked through the internet and that’s the reason I’m not a fan anymore…..I’m a miley cyrus fan now……even If I’m not vanessa’s fan now, I still watch her movies….

#89–Katty:
nathalia’s #92 post has the link to the picture that rosielie9 was talking aobut. There is a question whether it was taken at the airport or the NBC studio where SNL is filmed. But in the picutre Vanessa has the same sweatpants and jaket on as she did inside the airport when she was walking with the airport person upon her arrival.
@eLLa: thankyou!!
