The Veronicas' Hook Me Up
Veronicas' New Single & Clothing Line
From The Daily Telegraph
The Veronicas' return to Australia hasn't all been about promoting their clothing range and launching new single Hook Me Up.Jess and Lisa Origliasso are also bidding their childhood suburban home farewell as parents Joseph and Colleen and brother Julian downsize from Brisbane suburbia to a city apartment - now that the twins are based in Los Angeles.
In between the 55 phone interviews and family meetings to approve the Hook Me Up video last Friday, the duo and their guests were treated to the kind of spoiling that only a mum can deliver.
"Don't you love this? Lamingtons and Sara Lee chocolate cake, our favourite," Lisa gushes.
Jess is so excited about the cake she wears half of it as she tries to devour a slice.
"Mum's the best. She's our greatest supporter, always there for us," she says.
The Origliasso family are tight; mother and daughters so much so they each wear a tattoo of all their first name initials on their wrists.
And while she is partly responsible for the twin's fine manners and warm, gregarious personalities, Colleen is also not averse to sharing their more embarrassing moments.
"Do you remember the time you walked on stage with your costume on back-to-front, Jess?" she teases from the kitchen.
While they see far less of their girls than any parents would want to since they relocated to LA three years ago, the twins' presence is everywhere.
Their bedrooms are just as they left them, their ARIA awards are plonked next to the stereo near the kitchen table and the hallway wall is a shrine of magazine posters promoting their debut album, Secret Life Of The Veronicas.
"Oh my god, that photo of us, that was our very first album photo shoot," Lisa says with a squeal, pointing out the biggest poster.
"It was in Los Angeles and I wasn't feeling very well that day. We spray-painted this wall with 'The Veronicas Are Here' with washable paint but the police pulled up and they were really mad about it, asking if we had a permit.
"They didn't have a clue who we were but we kinda pretended we were well-known then when we weren't."
Colleen and Joseph are acutely aware of their daughters' every move courtesy of the obsessed fans who report it all on The Veronicas website.
Their mother bolts into the kitchen after seeing fans have posted stills from the Hook Me Up video captured from its screening on Channel V a couple of hours before.
When she turns on the TV - and within a minute the clip airs again - we all wonder if she is psychic.
She also opens fanmail, collects gifts and worries like any mother about the less complimentary messages or emails written about her daughters.
The family now faces the usual nightmare of packing up the suburban home, but with the added extras of hundreds of VHS tapes documenting the young women's two-decade existence.
"I haven't even started packing," bemoans Colleen.
It is hard to imagine this typically protective mother allowing anyone else to pack up a lifetime of precious memories.
