Katy Perry Covers 'InStyle' October 2011

Katy Perry shows off her pink hair on the cover of InStyle‘s October 2011 issue.

Here’s what the 26-year-old singer had to share with the mag:

On her fiery side: “I’m not going to sit and be steamrolled; I’m going to stand up against things that are unjust. I am full of unicorns and Care Bears 99 percent of the time, but don’t open Pandora’s Box of that other 1 percent – because it’s there!”

On her secret to getting her makeup done on tour: “I ordered a special chair from the dentist so I can lie back and wake up looking like a million bucks – I call it my Sleeping Beauty makeup.”

On having children:“Not yet. I think if you’re married, it’s often in your future.” As for her approach to raising kids: “I think in the future – the very far future – when I have children, I’ll have a more open approach, setting boundaries and showing them what their decisions and choices will breed.”
