Q&A: Where Can Copies of WHAT?! Be Purchased?

Q: I was wondering if you could let me know where to get a copy of the WHAT?! Magazine Spring 2010 issue [with Tori on the cover]. —Carrie

Issues of WHAT?! can be purchased from R. D. Franks, a fashion book shop located in London. WHAT?! is listed under Magazines > Fashion Media. The order form doesn’t seem to allow you to specify which issue you want to purchase so you might want to call or e-mail the shop to clarify your order and get a shipping quote if you are ordering from outside the United Kingdom.

Thanks to Kaz and Greg for the tip!

Update: Bobbywithahammer reports that he picked up a copy of the issue at The Soho Bookstore on Old Compton Street in Soho, London. So clearly there are lots of places out there to pick it up if you’re in the area. If we come across any other places to mail order it from — for those outside of the UK — we’ll update this article.

Q&A: When will The Tori Store re-open?

Q: Any idea when the Tori Store will open again? It has been saying 1/18 forever now. — Greg

A: Yes, bit of a delay. The folks at The Tori Store are working on it and expect to have it back up and running soon, hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

Q&A: Will there be Legs & Boots for the Sinful Attraction tour? pt. 2

Q: I am really starting to wonder if there will be any boots of this tour. Any word at all?? I’ll be heartbroken if there aren’t any. — Melinda

A: Just a few hours ago, after the Amsterdam show, Martijn/@martijntulp told us, “I ran into Mark backstage, asked him about the Legs&Boots: they’re not happening this tour.” So the word is “bummer.”

Q&A: Will there be a second leg of the US tour?

Q: Will there be a second leg of US tour dates, maybe in the new year? — various

A: No, there will be no more US dates added for the Sinful Attraction Tour. This is it.

Q&A: Does Tori ever do a post-show meet and greet?

Q: Does Tori ever do a post-show M&G? — Kimberly

A: She used to, but hasn’t for a long time. People who’ve waited after various shows on the AATS tour have told us that they’ve either gotten a quick glimpse of Tori waving as she’s whisked away in her vehicle or they haven’t seen her exit the building at all.

Q&A: Is Tori pregnant?

Q: Is she pregnant or not? — Amanda

A: The rumors that Tori might be pregnant have been flying fast and furious for the past week, in part spurred by an increase in tummy-centric gestures Tori’s been making during recent shows that could be perceived as hinting something may be up. However, the official statement from Tori’s people is “Can confirm Tori is definitely NOT pregnant and there are no plans to be.” Hope this confirmation will put the rumors to rest.

Q&A: Will there be meet and greets for the Sinful Attraction tour?

Q: Have you had any word about meet and greets for this tour? — Brandy

A: While we haven’t heard anything specific about this, there was one before the Acoustically Attracted to Sin concert in London so we think it’s safe to assume that they will probably continue during the tour proper. If we do hear anything concrete about this, we’ll be sure to get the word out.

We’ve also received more than a few questions about how the meet and greets work, what to do and so forth. If you are curious about that, please check out the Meet and Greet article we posted right before the last tour. Two years later, everything there should still apply. (We also keep a link to that in the Tour section, under “Useful Tour Stuffs” in the righthand column. With the tour starting in a couple of days, if you’ve never checked those links out, now might be a good time. Some handy resources in there.)

Q&A: Will there be Legs & Boots for the Sinful Attraction tour?

Q: Do you know if Tori will be doing Legs & Boots for this tour? — Lisa

A: When asked about this in a recent interview, Tori said, “We’re planning something again, but it might be Europe this time. It’s a very involving thing, cause you have to work with the venues and promoters.”

Q&A: Will there be VIP packages for the AATS tour?

We’re adding a new category here on the News page: Q&A. We’ll use it to publicly answer questions we get that are of interest to Toriphiles in general. Normally they’ll be things several of you have asked and we’ll get to them as we have time and, of course, answers.

Here’s the first…

Q: Do you know if they are going to sell VIP packages for the 2009 tour? — Simone Gabrielle

A: There will be no VIP packages for any of the shows on the AATS tour. Some venues, such as Lotto Arena in Belgium, offer VIP tickets to their patrons; these VIP tickets entitle holders to luxurious “royal treatment” in a private lounge before and during a show. They have nothing to do with Tori herself and are not related in any way to the meet & greet VIP packages Tori offered to fans during the American Doll Posse tour.
