    Annika: Hellooooo internet! Happy 2018!
    We've got Giovanni with us again for another
  • 0:17 - 0:23
    episode of Make Thrift Why, except today we're
    going to do something a little bit different.
  • 0:23 - 0:29
    People send me in a lot of strange and wonderful
    clothing, um, for my series "Make Thrift Buy",
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    where I recreate them.
  • 0:31 - 0:36
    And we have a few episodes called "Make Thrift
    WHY", where we just make fun of these clothes.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    Luci: Click on the i! Click on the i!
    ... Will it appear with the i...?
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    Annika: It might be on that side.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Luci: Let's point to all the corners just
    in case.
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    A: Click on the i!
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    L: Click on our eye!
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    A: So I thought that instead of just ragging
    on the weird and wonderful clothes that people
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    send us, um, instead this episode we're going
    to play a game.
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    L: And this game is: Make Thrift Why or...
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    Together: Fake Thrift... Why!
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    L: It's a mouthful!
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    A: So here's how the game is going to go.
    L: Ok.
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    A: In this game, some of the items that I
    am going to be describing are real items,
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    that actually exist, and that you can actually
    buy.
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    But some of the items I've just made up with
    my brain.
  • 1:09 - 1:14
    So I'll read the description of the clothes,
    and you have to decide whether it's real or
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    fake.
    L: Okay! And what do I win? Do I have to get
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    a certain amount right to be the winner?
    A: Oooooh - good question. Let's say you have
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    to get over 50%, and if you do...
    L: If I win, you have to hem these pants that
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    I'm wearing and the blue pair.
    A: *sighs* okay
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    L: Next time you're sewing
    A: Okay, I told Luci that he had to hem his
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    pants himself - alright, if you get over 50%,
    I'll hem your...
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    L: You'll hem the pants!
    A: I'll hem your pants for you.
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    L: Yesssss.
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    A: Okay.
    L: Okay.
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    A: Item number 1! Are you ready? L: Item number 1.
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    [silence]
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    These are my laser focuses.
  • 1:40 - 1:45
    A: The description of this item is, a sweater
    that's made of a see-through, slightly beige-coloured
  • 1:45 - 1:52
    mesh on the bodice, and thick knitted arms,
    so it has the effect of looking like a torso-less sweater.
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    It sold last year for £1550...
    L: *sigh*
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    A: Which is about $2000 US dollars.
  • 1:58 - 2:04
    L: Mmmmmm. I would say that is... real.
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    A: Final answer?
    L: My final answer is that that's real.
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    A: Okay - it is real!
    [ding!]
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    L: Can I see a picture..? Ohh.
    A: The brand is Calvin Klein.
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    L: I didn't expect it to be that sheer. Like
    it really just looks like the arms of a sweater.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    A: And it is sold out.
    L: Ohh *laughs*
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    A: It's sold out.
    L: Yeah, because they make like three.
  • 2:19 - 2:25
    A: Okay, number 2. A scarf that's made entirely
    from transparent plastic material, seemingly
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    negating the point of wearing a scarf, but
    hey, that's high fashion for you. So it's
  • 2:28 - 2:33
    a transparent scarf. It currently sells for
    $880 US dollars.
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    L: And it's made out of plastic.
    A: Yeah.
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    L: You can see right through it.
    A: You can see right through it.
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    L: Mmm. I'm kinda trying to second-guess you
    now. Like, would you... coz you're trying
  • 2:42 - 2:47
    to invent things that sound like they would
    be real things... uhhh... I'm gunna say...
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    L: My gut says "fake", but I'm going to go
    against my gut.
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    A: You're going to go against your gut?
    L: I'm going to go against my gut and I'm going to say "real".
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    A: You might get an upset stomach if you go against your gut.
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    L: *sighs* Woof. Your Honor - I move that
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    that joke be stricken from the record.
    A: Real?
  • 3:02 - 3:03
    L: Real.
    A: Okay...
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    [Fail sound effect]
    A: It is fake!
  • 3:05 - 3:10
    L: Darn it! Should have gone with the gut!
    A: Should have gone with the gut.
  • 3:10 - 3:14
    L: Ahhh - you just made that up?
    A: I just made that one up, yes - but 2017
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    was the year of transparent fashion, so -
    L: That's why I should have - that's why my
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    gut was telling me fake!
    A: Mmhm.
  • 3:18 - 3:21
    L: I should have known - it's not just all
    going to be transparent stuff.
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    A: Or is it?
    L: Well that would be - oh - ah - you're playing
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    with my mind!
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    A: Okay are you ready for the next one?
    L: Yep, okay!
  • 3:29 - 3:32
    A: So we're one for one.
    L: What - hang on, you're getting points as
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    well? I thought I was just getting points
    for everyone I got right - we're not competing.
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    A: Oh - yes.
    L: On "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", the
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    host doesn't get all the points that they
    don't!
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    A: [laughing] awww, maybe they do.
    L: No - they don't!
  • 3:43 - 3:47
    A: Okay, number 3. So you've got one out of
    two so far.
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    L: Okay.
    A: Okay number three is - A transparent plastic
  • 3:50 - 3:55
    "cape" that looks exactly like a dry-cleaners
    bag, except that the name of the Laundromat
  • 3:55 - 4:00
    is replaced with the name of the brand, who
    sell this piece for £650[sic] British pounds,
  • 4:00 - 4:04
    which is about $750 US dollars.
    L: So it's, so you know when you get your
  • 4:04 - 4:09
    dry-cleaning back and it has the plastic casing
    over the top, this is like a cape you put
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    on which is that just plastic casing.
    A: It's meant to look like that.
  • 4:11 - 4:14
    L: I don't think I need to think very long
    about this one, I think this is real. It's
  • 4:14 - 4:17
    soooo - silly.
    A: [laugh] Yeah.
  • 4:17 - 4:21
    L: That I think you, that I don't think this
    off the top of the dome. I think this is really...
  • 4:21 - 4:25
    A: You don't think so? What about after the
    transparent scarf?
  • 4:25 - 4:26
    L: No, this is real.
    A: This is real?
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    L: Yep.
    A: Okay, you're ready?
  • 4:28 - 4:29
    L: Mmhm!
    A: Final answer - real?
  • 4:29 - 4:30
    L: Final answer real.
    A: It is real!
  • 4:30 - 4:32
    [ding!]
    L: I knew it!
  • 4:32 - 4:37
    A: [laughs] It's by the brand Moschino, and,
    unfortunately, is sold out, and this -
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    L: They're all sold out!
    A: Yeah... [exasperated laugh]
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    L: Sorry everybody, I guess you'll have to
    get a regular dry-cleaners bag [laughs] and
  • 4:42 - 4:45
    wear that!
    A: That would be an easy "Make Thrift Buy"
  • 4:45 - 4:48
    though!
    L: Yeah, it'd be a very short episode! [Sings
  • 4:48 - 4:50
    intro music to "Make Thrift Buy", with the
    ending "zipper" sound effect being emphasized].
  • 4:50 - 4:55
    A: So this is the description from "Browns",
    who is a retailer of high-fashion, who sold
  • 4:55 - 5:00
    the dress: "This clear Moschino dry cleaning
    cape overlay dress is the only kind of laundry
  • 5:00 - 5:06
    you'd be willing to do (for your trusty au
    pair takes care of that kind of stuff)." Coz
  • 5:06 - 5:08
    you're rich!... You don't have to do your
    laundry.
  • 5:08 - 5:13
    L: Hang on - so - wha- [laughs]
    A: This dress showcases the brand's economical
  • 5:13 - 5:18
    - let's just highlight that word - economical
    - fall 17 runway theme.
  • 5:18 - 5:22
    L: Why is it economical if it's £650?
    A: This is how Capitalism works.
  • 5:22 - 5:28
    L: Hey, your au pair might be doing your laundry,
    but you can still wear the bag - WHAT?! WHAT?!
  • 5:28 - 5:31
    A:[laughs]
    L: ...What?!
  • 5:31 - 5:38
    A: Okay, number 4 - so this is a "key charm
    bracelet" that is a few pieces of chain with
  • 5:38 - 5:43
    several old-looking keys attached to it, with
    a large keyring clip to fasten the bracelet.
  • 5:43 - 5:47
    So it basically just looks like a ring of
    keys for a business or something that's been
  • 5:47 - 5:52
    slipped over your wrist - and it retails for
    £630 Great British Pounds, or about $850
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    US Dollars.
    L: I'm really torn on this, because it could
  • 5:55 - 6:00
    - it sounds like something that would be real,
    but it could also be the case that I know
  • 6:00 - 6:05
    when you were writing these fake ones you
    were sitting on the couch, and from our couch
  • 6:05 - 6:10
    you can see the wicker shelf where we keep
    our keys. So was it the fact - was it that
  • 6:10 - 6:14
    you looked over there and you saw the keys
    sitting there and you were like - the more
  • 6:14 - 6:19
    I say this, the more I'm like this IS what
    happened. This one is fake.
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    A: It's fake?
    L: It's fake.
  • 6:21 - 6:24
    And you're trying to trick me by having it
    be in pounds, and then changing the pounds
  • 6:24 - 6:27
    to dollars - that makes it sound more like
    a real retail item.
  • 6:27 - 6:28
    A: Alright - you ready?
    L: Okay.
  • 6:28 - 6:30
    A: This one is real.
    L: Awhhhh!
  • 6:30 - 6:35
    A: [laughs] - and is by the brand - I have
    no idea how to pronounce this - Bal-en-see-ah?
  • 6:35 - 6:38
    L: Valencia?
    A: I think it's Bal-en-see-ah.
  • 6:38 - 6:41
    So this is what it looks like -
    L: Ohh. Okay - great.
  • 6:41 - 6:45
    A: [laughs]
    L: It looks GREAAAT -
  • 6:45 - 6:47
    A: So this is the description, from "Browns"
    fashion again -
  • 6:47 - 6:50
    L: Mmhm. Browns again.
    A: Browns again.
  • 6:50 - 6:55
    A: "This metallic Balenciaga Key Charm bracelet
    is the key to success because as Lord Chesterfield
  • 6:55 - 7:02
    so rightly stated: 'if you are not in fashion,
    you are nobody' (and god forbid, one is a
  • 7:02 - 7:05
    ‘nobody’). The result of impeccable Italian
    workmanship, this bracelet has been crafted
  • 7:05 - 7:08
    from gold-tone and silver-tone metal "
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    L: [laughing] ohhkay.
    A: "And features multiple keycharms."
  • 7:10 - 7:16
    L: On the pro-side: it's made by Italians.
    On the con-side: Who is Lord Chesterfield?!
  • 7:16 - 7:20
    Is this someone all British people know about?
    Lord Chesterfield? [laughs]
  • 7:20 - 7:26
    "As the famous Lord Chesterfield said: Who
    is Lord Chesterfield?!" Some kind of fashion... lord?
  • 7:26 - 7:29
    Does Britain each year appoint one Lord
    to be the Lord of Fashion?
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    A: Yes. I believe they do. If you're from
    Britain - let us know.
  • 7:31 - 7:32
    L: Let us know.
    A: In the comments below.
  • 7:32 - 7:35
    L: The only Lord I know of would be like,
    Lord Vader.
  • 7:35 - 7:38
    And as Darth Vader once said: "If you're not
    in Fashion, you're nobody!"
  • 7:38 - 7:44
    A: You're nobody. Okay, number 5.
    An orange fluro workwear vest with high-vis
  • 7:44 - 7:49
    detailing that retails for $1,200 USD and
    looks basically exactly like those kind of
  • 7:49 - 7:51
    cheap safety vests that construction workers
    wear.
  • 7:51 - 7:56
    The only difference is that it has the brand
    name written across it on the back of the vest.
  • 7:56 - 7:59
    L: It sooo seems as though it would be real.
  • 7:59 - 8:07
    Because it's such a bald-faced, just like,
    way to get money from people... who... are... not..
  • 8:07 - 8:08
    pfht, phthpp
  • 8:08 - 8:14
    L: I'm just trying to think of a not-mean
    way to - pftht - but at the same time it is
  • 8:14 - 8:18
    SO the type of thing that it would be that
    it's the type of thing that you would make up.
  • 8:18 - 8:19
    A: Mmm...
  • 8:19 - 8:23
    L: I'm trying to do the flip, the old flip-reverse-flip-brain-flip.
  • 8:23 - 8:25
    A: [laughs] Have I got to you?
  • 8:25 - 8:27
    L: Very much so, yes.
  • 8:27 - 8:32
    Look, I'm just gunna
    go with my... I'm not going to try and do the flip-reverse-flip-brain-flip.
  • 8:32 - 8:34
    I'm just going
    to say: Real.
  • 8:34 - 8:35
    A: Real?
    L: Real.
  • 8:35 - 8:37
    A: Okay, we're locking in real.
    L: Okay, real.
  • 8:37 - 8:37
    A: Fake.
    [fail sound]
  • 8:37 - 8:39
    L: Arghhh.
    A: [laughs]
  • 8:39 - 8:42
    L: *sighs* Wahhhh
    A: But if it were real, it'd go really well
  • 8:42 - 8:46
    with the Key Charm bracelet from before.
    L: It's soo - now that you've put this out
  • 8:46 - 8:48
    there, this will be made.
    A: Oh - it will.
  • 8:48 - 8:51
    L: Someone from Browns is watching and they're
    like, "well, I have the description in mind
  • 8:51 - 8:53
    already".
    A: Browns isn't the designer -
  • 8:53 - 8:55
    L: No, they just describe the items.
    A: [laughs]
  • 8:55 - 8:58
    L: The Browns description writer is being
    like, "What would Lord Chesterfield think
  • 8:58 - 9:02
    about this hi-vis vest?"
    A: What WOULD Lord Chesterfield think?
  • 9:02 - 9:07
    L: [laughs] W - W - L - C - D.
    A: [laugh of realisation] Ohh!
  • 9:07 - 9:11
    L: What Would Lord Chesterfield Do?
    A: W - W - L - C - D.
  • 9:11 - 9:14
    L: LCD.
    That just sounds like almost the website where
  • 9:14 - 9:17
    you buy LCD TVs.
    Both: [laugh]
  • 9:17 - 9:21
    A: Not www.lcd.com. WWLCD.
    L: WWLCD.
  • 9:21 - 9:24
    A: What would Lord Chesterfield do?
    L: What WOULD Lord Chesterfield do? He'd put
  • 9:24 - 9:27
    it on. He's a fashionista.
    A: He is a fashionista.
  • 9:27 - 9:28
    L: Who is Lord Chesterfield?
  • 9:28 - 9:32
    A: Okay, I'm winning at the moment!
    L: Mmmmm - why is me losing you winning?!
  • 9:32 - 9:33
    We're not competing!
    A: Ah, yes we are!
  • 9:33 - 9:36
    L: You're the quiz-master!
    A: Everything is a competition and I'm going
  • 9:36 - 9:38
    to beat you!
    L: *sighs* No, you're the quiz-master and
  • 9:38 - 9:41
    it's - I just compete against myself!
    A: Okay - well, you're losing.
  • 9:41 - 9:43
    L: [laughs] Ohh!
    A: Next item!
  • 9:43 - 9:44
    L: Bring it on.
    A: Are you ready?
  • 9:44 - 9:47
    L: [breathes in deeply and clears throat]
    A: Sitting up straight, okay you mean BUSINESS!
  • 9:47 - 9:52
    L: Yeah I mean business.
    A: A black knee-length skirt that’s been
  • 9:52 - 9:56
    made out of nylon puffer jacket material,
    and scattered around the bottom of the skirt
  • 9:56 - 10:01
    it just has a bunch of armhole cuffs attached
    to it, um which the brand calls a “ruffled
  • 10:01 - 10:05
    trim”. And it is sold originally for $1385
    US dollars.
  • 10:05 - 10:10
    L: *sighs* It really sounds like real... and
    you've done the quote-marks, like... I'm trying
  • 10:10 - 10:13
    to do the double-flip-reverse-brain-flip...
    A: [laughs]
  • 10:13 - 10:16
    L: It's not working for me.
    A: I don't think it's worked for you that well so far!
  • 10:16 - 10:19
    L: Okay - ahhh - real. I think it's real!
  • 10:19 - 10:20
    A: You think it's real?
    L: Yeah. I think it's real.
  • 10:20 - 10:23
    A: Is this the double-flip-reverse-brain-flip?
    L: No, I'm going with the gut!
  • 10:23 - 10:25
    A: You're going with the gut?
    L: I'm going with the gut and saying real.
  • 10:25 - 10:27
    A: Alright! It is real!
    L: Yessss.
  • 10:27 - 10:30
    A: Now you've gotten 50% correct!
    L: Thanks gut.
  • 10:30 - 10:32
    A: The brand is - ahh, I do not know how to
    pronounce this -
  • 10:32 - 10:36
    L: Com-de-gar-son?
    A: I think so. Come-de-gar-son.
  • 10:36 - 10:41
    L: [Australian accent] Co-meh-des Gark-gons.
    A: [Australian accent] It's co-meh-des Gar-sons, mate!
  • 10:41 - 10:43
    A: Um, so there's only one left, one size
  • 10:43 - 10:45
    small left in stock, so quick! Get your hands
    on it!
  • 10:45 - 10:48
    L: Hey guys - oh, oh my gosh, if it sells
    out after this video...
  • 10:48 - 10:50
    A: Do you like the look of this?
    L: Yeah, I mean, it's really, really, really
  • 10:50 - 10:52
    expensive.
    A: Yes.
  • 10:52 - 10:55
    L: And it will fall apart immediately because
    it has raw edges!
  • 10:55 - 11:00
    A: Yeah, so the thing is that it says, in
    the description, it says "raw edges throughout"!?
  • 11:00 - 11:03
    L: Alright.
    A: A ski mask that’s made out of a transparent
  • 11:03 - 11:07
    mesh-like fabric, sewn together with a thick
    colourful stitch in all different colours
  • 11:07 - 11:12
    and sections.
    And it retails for only $480 US dollars.
  • 11:12 - 11:14
    L: It sounds like something that would be
    real - it doesn't even sound that weird. Or
  • 11:14 - 11:18
    like, it sounds like weird, but like -
    A: ... I think you've been desensitized.
  • 11:18 - 11:21
    L: It sounds weird but in a way that's not
    very creative.
  • 11:21 - 11:24
    A: Mm.
    L: I'm - I'm trying - my temptation -
  • 11:24 - 11:28
    A: Are you trying to do the double-flip-brain-flip?
    L: My gut says real, but my temptation is
  • 11:28 - 11:30
    to do the reverse-flip-brain-flip and say
    FAKE.
  • 11:30 - 11:33
    A: I don't know, but you did use the gut reaction
    last time...
  • 11:33 - 11:36
    L: And how much are you saying it is?
    A: Four hundred and eighty US dollars.
  • 11:36 - 11:39
    L: Four hundred and eighty... I feel like
    that's a made-up number you'd come up with.
  • 11:39 - 11:41
    You'd make that up, that number.
    A: Okay..?! [laughs]
  • 11:41 - 11:43
    L: That's the sort of number you would make
    up.
  • 11:43 - 11:44
    A: [confused laugh] why?!
  • 11:44 - 11:46
    L: It's fake.
    A: Why?
  • 11:46 - 11:47
    L: It's fake!
    A: Okay, it's fake?
  • 11:47 - 11:52
    L: It's just the kind of number you'd make up! 480 is such a made-up number.
  • 11:52 - 11:53
    A: [laughs] Okay - it IS fake.
  • 11:53 - 11:56
    L: Yesssss. I KNEW 480 was a made-up number!
    A: But I did do a little picture of what it
  • 11:56 - 11:57
    would look like.
    L: [laughs]
  • 11:57 - 12:01
    A: This is what is would look like if it existed.
    L: [laughs]
  • 12:01 - 12:05
    A: It's not your granny's ski mask. Or - maybe
    it is.
  • 12:05 - 12:09
    L: It kind of is! It's sort of a patchwork
    - it's like, if everyone had super cool ski
  • 12:09 - 12:13
    masks for the school trip and you're like,
    nanna, made you one and you had to wear that.
  • 12:13 - 12:14
    A: Aww.
    Alright -
  • 12:14 - 12:15
    L: Next!
    A: Next one -
  • 12:15 - 12:18
    L: I'm on a roll.
    A: So these - this item, is sleeves that have
  • 12:18 - 12:22
    been chopped off a shirt, and then re-purposed
    as leg-warmers.
  • 12:22 - 12:26
    And they still have the cuff’s buttons around
    the ankles.
  • 12:26 - 12:32
    And they're sold for $670 US dollars.
    L: Ummm - [gross sucking noise]
  • 12:32 - 12:37
    A: ...What is that noise?
    L: That's the thinking suck.
  • 12:37 - 12:38
    L: Fake.
    A: Fake?
  • 12:38 - 12:41
    L: Yeah, you made this one up.
    A: Okay. It is fake!
  • 12:41 - 12:45
    L: Yesss! YESS.
    A: [laughing]
  • 12:45 - 12:49
    A: And this doesn't exist... to my knowledge.
    L: Okay.
  • 12:49 - 12:51
    Both: [laugh]
    L: I bet it does.
  • 12:51 - 12:56
    A: Okay so the next ones are: green cargo-style
    pants that have had the entire crotch cut
  • 12:56 - 13:01
    out down to the thighs, save for the waistband,
    and all the edges are left raw.
  • 13:01 - 13:04
    So - I'll do a little kind of, let's kind
    of - it was hard to describe -
  • 13:04 - 13:07
    But there's like a hole cut out just like
    here.
  • 13:07 - 13:10
    L: Oh. Good place for a hole.
    A: There's just a big ol' hole, and, around
  • 13:10 - 13:16
    the hole's edges, so the edges are left raw,
    and around the edges there are little studs.
  • 13:16 - 13:18
    Like sparkly studs.
    L: Ummm - real.
  • 13:18 - 13:19
    A: Real?
    L: Yeah - real.
  • 13:19 - 13:23
    A: Gut feeling?
    L: Gut feeling. Going with real.
  • 13:23 - 13:25
    A: They are real!
    L: Yessss!
  • 13:25 - 13:27
    A: And they look like this!
    L: [sighs]
  • 13:27 - 13:30
    A: They are by the brand "Asos Exclusive"
    -
  • 13:30 - 13:34
    L: [disbelieving laugh] Because everyone's
    really fighting with ASOS for this great idea!
  • 13:34 - 13:37
    A: - and I guess they're convenient for going
    to the toilet?
  • 13:37 - 13:38
    L: Ahhh -
    A: So this -
  • 13:38 - 13:41
    L: Hang on, I've just got to put my phone
    away.
  • 13:41 - 13:43
    A: [murmurs] ...could have done that at the
    beginning...
  • 13:43 - 13:46
    L: Next one!
    A: Okay, so this is a hooded sweater, or “hoodie”
  • 13:46 - 13:52
    that has two head holes instead of one. But
    instead of being worn the right way up, you
  • 13:52 - 13:57
    flip it upside-down and you stick your legs
    through each head hole. And then the - the
  • 13:57 - 14:00
    elastic at the bottom kind of does-up as like
    a waistband.
  • 14:00 - 14:02
    L: Nup - it's not real.
    A: It's not real?
  • 14:02 - 14:07
    L: This is from Annika's deranged imagination.
    [laughing] Fake.
  • 14:07 - 14:08
    A: So we're saying fake?
    L: You made this up. Fake. Fake.
  • 14:08 - 14:10
    A: Alright - it's real!
    L: [surprised] WHAT?!
  • 14:10 - 14:13
    A: [laughing] And it looks like this!
    A: Okay so -
  • 14:13 - 14:17
    L: [loudly] Oh my GODD.
    A: This is - and I think it's Dollskill - Dollskill
  • 14:17 - 14:22
    posted this to their Instagram Story a few
    days ago and since then my inboxes - all my
  • 14:22 - 14:26
    inboxes - have been blowing up with people
    sending me this item.
  • 14:26 - 14:31
    L: It has an almost... medieval look to it.
    Like kind of Renaissance-fair look because
  • 14:31 - 14:32
    of the ties.
    A: Really?! Mm.
  • 14:32 - 14:35
    L: Because of the ties at the top of the bottom
    of the hoodies.
  • 14:35 - 14:38
    A: Yeah - like old bloomers?
    L: Yeah - that is, that's pretty silly.
  • 14:38 - 14:40
    A: I like how they've styled -
    L: [putting on a voice] "Heh, you know what
  • 14:40 - 14:43
    - it's a bit silly". It's a BIT silly!
    A: I think this is a little bit silly!
  • 14:43 - 14:46
    L: Awhhh, I think it might be a bit silly.
    A: I think this video might be a bit silly.
  • 14:46 - 14:51
    L: Uh ha ha - Ohhh boy.
    L: Dolls...skill? Dolls-kill?
  • 14:51 - 14:52
    A: Dolls-kill.
  • 14:52 - 14:54
    L: Well I think they're kind of - they're a bit cheeky, aren't they.
  • 14:54 - 14:57
    A: Yeah, Dollskill, they, they know this is silly.
  • 14:57 - 15:00
    L: There's a little bit of a - it's "tongue-in-cheek"
  • 15:00 - 15:03
    A: It's tongue-in-cheek, yeah. A: I think they're pretty incredible.
  • 15:03 - 15:07
    L: What would Lord Chesterfield think of these?
    A: What *would* Lord Chesterfield think?
  • 15:07 - 15:11
    L: [posh British accent] "I say, those pantaloons
    are a reversed jacket...a-loon!
  • 15:11 - 15:15
    A: [laughing] Good ol' Lord Chesterfield.
    L: Good ol' -
  • 15:15 - 15:16
    A: WWLCD.
  • 15:16 - 15:17
    [fun electronic music]
  • 15:17 - 15:22
    A: So this is a sweater top with 17 different
    sleeves protruding from various places along
  • 15:22 - 15:26
    the bodice and along other arms.
    L: I feel like you made this one up because
  • 15:26 - 15:31
    it's so, just... silly. It's just a sweater
    for a 17-armed monstrosity.
  • 15:31 - 15:39
    A: Have you seen my videos?
    L: Yeahhhh - my gut says fake, and my double-flip-reverse-brain-flip
  • 15:39 - 15:45
    also says fake... but my DEEPEST gut says
    "real".
  • 15:45 - 15:49
    A: [laughing] Your deepest gut?! Where's that?
    L: My deepest gut - my intestines.
  • 15:49 - 15:52
    A: Your intestines say "real"? Giving you
    that real feeling?
  • 15:52 - 15:54
    L: Yeah... but I don't trust my intestines.
    A: You don't trust them?
  • 15:54 - 15:57
    L: Nahhh - I'll go with the gut, and I'll
    go with the double-flip-reverse-brain-flip
  • 15:57 - 15:58
    -
    A: [laughing]
  • 15:58 - 16:04
    L: - and I'll say - I'll say... ffff-fake.
    You made this up so you could photoshop 15
  • 16:04 - 16:07
    more sleeves onto a sweater.
    A: Why do you think I photoshopped all of
  • 16:07 - 16:08
    these?
    L: I don't know - you've got photoshop fever!
  • 16:08 - 16:10
    A: Okay, this one is fake.
    L: Yess.
  • 16:10 - 16:15
    A: But it is not without precedent - see this
    photo of a real sweater with 2 additional
  • 16:15 - 16:19
    sleeves attached to the... shoulder?
    L: [laughing] I suppose, it has to be fake
  • 16:19 - 16:22
    because there's just not enough real-estate
    on a sweater to put 15 more sleeves on.
  • 16:22 - 16:26
    A: It would also use up a LOT of fabric.
    L: Well, that's not a concern of theirs is
  • 16:26 - 16:29
    it, it's still going to make a profit because
    they sell it for like, $5000.
  • 16:29 - 16:31
    A: You ready?
    L: Yep.
  • 16:31 - 16:34
    A: Oh no, that was the last one!
    That was the last one.
  • 16:34 - 16:36
    L: Oh... bit of an anti-climax!
    A: Sorry!
  • 16:36 - 16:43
    And so, you got 8 out of 14 correct, which
    is just over 50%!
  • 16:43 - 16:46
    L: Bom bom bom bom bommm bom bom... [victory
    music]
  • 16:46 - 16:48
    I hope that's not copyrighted. Whatever.
    I did like 2 seconds of it.
  • 16:48 - 16:51
    A: [laughing]
    L: I'll make up my own victory music.
  • 16:51 - 16:56
    Da dun daaa da daaa! Da daaaa da da daaaa! Da dun dun da dun! Da da da dun!
  • 16:56 - 16:59
    A: Ooooh, this is sounding a bit like Star
    Wars...
  • 16:59 - 17:01
    L: Da da daa douhhhhh...
    A: Congratulations.
  • 17:01 - 17:03
    I think I did a pretty good job of tricking you with a lot of those.
  • 17:03 - 17:05
    L: You did! I had to use everything. I had
  • 17:05 - 17:09
    to use the gut. I had to use the deep gut.
    I had to use the double-flip-reverse-brain-flip.
  • 17:09 - 17:12
    What was my prize again?
    A: I'm going to hem your pants!
  • 17:12 - 17:16
    L: Ahhh - Except now I feel like people will
    see this and they'll be like, "the prize is
  • 17:16 - 17:19
    that she's going to do some sewing for him?
    That's so incredibly retrograde 1950's gender
  • 17:19 - 17:22
    roles..."
    A: Tell Luci - in the comments down below,
  • 17:22 - 17:28
    tell Luci if he's just the worst, and -
    L: Nooooo - look everyone. Let me come clean.
  • 17:28 - 17:31
    I'll hem my own pants.
    A: [laughs]
  • 17:31 - 17:32
    L: I can do it for pure pride.
    A: How about this -
  • 17:32 - 17:36
    L: Ok?
    A: I will show you how to hem a pair of pants,
  • 17:36 - 17:40
    and then you will have the knowledge to hem
    all of your pairs of pants from then on in.
  • 17:40 - 17:45
    L: Yep, alright, you know what? That's good
    because buy a person a fish, they'll eat for
  • 17:45 - 17:47
    a day. Teach them to fish, etc, etc.
    A: Yes.
  • 17:47 - 17:52
    L: Teach a man to hem his pants and he'll
    be hemming pants left, right and centre.
  • 17:52 - 17:55
    I'll hem my pants into shorts, and I'll hem myshorts into underwear,
  • 17:55 - 17:57
    and I'll hem my underwear into handkerchiefs.
  • 17:57 - 18:00
    A: [laughs] NOW - we do have a Sponsorship to promote!
  • 18:00 - 18:02
    L: Da dun dun dun, da dun dun dun, da dun dun dun da da da daaaa
  • 18:02 - 18:03
    A: Would you like -
  • 18:03 - 18:07
    L: [louder] DUNNN DA! Dun dun dun DAAA dun!
    Dun da dil la DUN!
  • 18:07 - 18:10
    A: You're - feel free to use that one, Squarespace.
    L: That's - what - [laughing]
  • 18:10 - 18:14
    A: So did you know that I have a website that
    I made with Squarespace!
  • 18:14 - 18:17
    L: Squarespace! This video is brought to you
    by Squarespace!
  • 18:17 - 18:20
    A: It is!
    L: Wha- coincidence!
  • 18:20 - 18:22
    A: Coincidence!
    L: [singing] Square. Space.
  • 18:22 - 18:27
    Square. -
    A: Feel free to use that one too, Squarespace.
  • 18:27 - 18:30
    L: - Space.
    A: Just make it - we'll make a gif of this.
  • 18:30 - 18:32
    A: So my website, annikavictoria.com -
    L: annikavictoria.com?
  • 18:32 - 18:36
    A: -is the place on the internet where you
    can go if you, you know, you're just being
  • 18:36 - 18:42
    like, "who is this Annika Victoria chick?"
    It takes you to my website that I made with
  • 18:42 - 18:45
    Squarespace. I made it within like, a couple
    of hours!
  • 18:45 - 18:48
    L: It's a darn good website.
    A: So easy to make! Yeah, it was so easy to
  • 18:48 - 18:51
    make, and it looks really nice, I really like
    my website. Do you like my website?
  • 18:51 - 18:55
    L: I LOVE that darn website! Nah, it looks
    really good! But Annika - do I know how to
  • 18:55 - 18:56
    code- need to know how to code to use this
    resource?
  • 18:56 - 19:00
    A: You DON'T need to know how to code to use
    this resource!
  • 19:00 - 19:03
    L: Excellent - because I legitimately don't
    know how to do that!
  • 19:03 - 19:07
    A: No, you don't need to do any complex coding,
    you don't need to, you know, have the whole
  • 19:07 - 19:12
    business of hosting a website. Squarespace
    takes care of all of that for you, they take
  • 19:12 - 19:14
    care of your domain name...
    L: Cool!
  • 19:14 - 19:18
    A: Basically, you just set it up, you can
    leave it, and there's nothing to update, install
  • 19:18 - 19:19
    or patch, ever.
    L: Really?
  • 19:19 - 19:20
    A: Mm!
    L: Aw, that's pretty good!
  • 19:20 - 19:23
    A: It's just there, and you just know that
    it's just there.
  • 19:23 - 19:26
    L: Annnd when I'm designing it, do I get to
    choose between different templates, or looks
  • 19:26 - 19:30
    for the website?
    A: Yeah, so there's lots of different, really
  • 19:30 - 19:32
    beautiful templates that you get to choose
    between -
  • 19:32 - 19:34
    L: Nice!
    A: You pick one and then you customize it
  • 19:34 - 19:37
    to make it your own.
    L: What if I'm making my website and I'm like,
  • 19:37 - 19:41
    Bawahhh?
    A: Well, if you get really confused, there
  • 19:41 - 19:45
    is 24/7 customer support that is award-winning.
    L: Just call them and be like, Bawahhh? Blehh?!
  • 19:45 - 19:47
    A: Well, actually -
    L: And they'll know what your problem is!
  • 19:47 - 19:52
    A: I don't like talking on the phone, I think
    there might be a phone number for them but
  • 19:52 - 19:57
    I just email them. I've had a problem with
    it before that was entirely my fault because
  • 19:57 - 19:59
    I tried to do some coding, and it did not
    work -
  • 19:59 - 20:04
    L: Don't bother - they do it all for you!
    A: No, they emailed - I emailed them, they
  • 20:04 - 20:08
    emailed me back straight away, fixed my problem
    straight away - they were like, "uh, you put
  • 20:08 - 20:12
    in this dodgy bit of code, if you remove that,
    your website will work again" and it worked!
  • 20:12 - 20:15
    L: That's good service.
    L: Okay what what what what what about this,
  • 20:15 - 20:20
