*Quiet singing*
-
Oh, woah, woah!!
-
Yeeeaaahhhh!
-
Five-hundred-thousand!
-
Five-hundred-thousand!!
-
Half-a-million!!
-
What is this song I'm singing? *laughs*
-
*upbeat electronic music*
-
Hello, everybody!
-
So, to honor the fact that I reached five-hundred-thousand subscribers last week
-
I'm doing a video I have been wanting to make for a while
-
Which is to go through some of the weirder "Make Thrift Buy" suggestions that you guys have sent in to me
-
And because I really wanted to show you all my appreciation for helping me to reach this amazing milestone
-
This video is also going to feature a person who has been highly requested to make an appearance on this channel
-
This person is...
-
Future Annika; insert a drumroll here
-
*drumroll*
-
My boyfriend, Luciano!
-
dun, dun, dun, dun, duuuuuun!
-
Hi!
-
Hi!
-
Hi!
-
Hi!
-
Hi!
-
Hi!
-
I'm trying to imagine that there's a studio audience
-
*laughing*
-
This is my lovely Luci
-
My partner
-
Or, I'm an actor, paid.
-
*awkward laughing*
-
We have been together for a little over five years.
-
Yet he has never, not once...
-
Actually, wait, there were two moments that you did appear.
-
For like three seconds in outfit videos
-
Basically he has never appeared on this channel before
-
First time!
-
speaking
-
Here I am
-
Here's my voice
-
So what we are going to be doing in this video today
-
is that I've collected some of the weirder "Make Thrift Buy" suggestions that have been sent in to me by you guys
-
And we are going to go through them
-
But Luci hasn't seen any of these yet because I wanted his initial reaction to seeing them.
-
Yup, my unfiltered gagamuffs (?)
-
Here we go
-
Now if you don't already know
-
somehow "Make Thrift Buy" is-
-
Actually Luci, you've seen my videos lots of times, what's "Make Thrift Buy"?
-
Do my intro
-
Uh your intro is like "Hi!"
-
"This is the show where you send me items of clothing from the internet and I try and recreate them!"
-
Yeah
-
"Today I'm making a weird... bra with a cat... butt face"
-
*laughing*
-
So that's "Make Thrift Buy" and I'm just gonna say now that
-
I love getting weird suggestions like
-
I loved making that cat bra even though it just looked like a cat with a butt for a face
-
I've also made these weird shorts without pockets
-
This... bear which was a phone case
-
So don't let this video deter you from sending me in weird suggestions
-
because I love getting them and sometimes
-
recreate them!
-
Yup
-
With that in mind, here is some of the weirder things that I have been sent
-
to try and recreate
-
Ok
-
Ohhhh this is like little underwear that goes on your phone?
-
*an extremely giggly 'yeah'*
-
*giggling and chuckling*
-
*a slightly bewildered 'yeah!' followed by more giggling*
-
Wh- ok what- this-
-
I mean I don't think it's protective enough...?
-
*more laughing*
-
Wh- What the crazy thing that this is implying to me
-
is that the genitalia of the phone is the home button
-
Ooooh
-
Think about that, that's what it's blocking so
-
think about how many times a day you touch the home button of your phone
-
what are we doing to these poor phones?
-
Oh no ⊙︿⊙
-
Um, so I don't think I'm gonna make this
-
(phones have the right to wear panties too)
-
Well how would you even make it? Like it looks like it's made out of plastic
-
Yeah I don't know maybe like
-
Resin... some kind of plastic that I painted on
-
There's just so many moments where you would stop
-
going through the process and be like
-
"I'm making underwear for my phone"
-
Yeah
-
"That's what I'm doing right now"
-
Ok, alright next one
Luci: I'm ready, I'm prepared
-
This is- uh... the ol' head cage...!
-
cage, cage that head
-
this is like in 1984 when they put that rat cage on Winston Smith's face
-
that's what it looks like
-
Fashion is super weird
-
I love, like I love the combination you have to have these incredibly absurd items, like this 1984 head cage
-
but the models always have to have this incredibly dead-pan look like
-
"Yes, I wear this"
-
'This is completely normal"
-
"I wear this every day, this is my bold statement"
-
"This is my fashion"
-
It's like an upside-down dog cone
-
Yeahhhhh
-
You could put it around and make it a dog cone
-
If the model was like
-
It's not any more bizarre than this really
-
If this model had some little itch that she wasn't allowed to scratch with her teeth
-
You could just flip that around and she wouldn't be able to get there
-
Would would you call this a hat?
-
I feel like that's such a generous definition of a hat
-
okay, that's a hat. Here this is a hat, you know?
-
Oh, that's a hat. This is a hat now. Everything's a hat apparently.
-
*Annika laughs*
-
It's fashion!
-
It's fashion, everything's everything in fashion
-
Do you understand fashion? C'mon.
-
I understand now, everything is everything
-
and you can wear a dumb rat cage on your face - correct!
-
Okay here is the next suggestion.
-
Well that's simple, DIY football. Why haven't you done that already?
-
D.I.Y. football.
-
Hm, I think this one's on the wrong channel
-
Hah, DIY football, make your own football.
-
I MAKE CLOTHES!!
-
No no, make your own football, like your own football sport.
-
Oooo, your own football sport!
-
What are the rules, what are the teams?
-
What's the rule of our DIY football?
-
Well you gotta, you gotta make it yourself.
-
When you get to the pitch you have to have made -
-
So it's just DIY each time?
-
- you have to have made your own uniforms. You have to have made your own balls.
-
You have to made your own rules!
-
It's a confusing game.
-
Wow this is amazing.
-
What an amazing new concept
-
Did they mean DIY a football?
-
Yes, I think so.
-
Like, A football?
-
Yes
-
Okay, what do you think about this one?
-
DIY boyfriend!
-
Well, umm, I guess I'll go. See ya.
-
Did they mean a blow up doll type of boyfriend? Like a inflatable boyfriend?
-
Look! I...I'm not sure, I think maybe this was a joke
-
and I took it literally.
-
DIY boyfriend!
-
Have you seen those, umm...pillows that are like just like a t-shirt and an arm as a DIY
-
boyfriend pillow? They're pretty great.
-
I've considered making one of those before when you went overseas.
-
*Laughing*
-
Hang on, hang on. So you're saying its more comfortable to snuggle up to a disembodied
-
torso and arm? than it is to just cuddle up to a pillow?
-
You know, if you close your eyes you don't know that it's disembodied.
-
Well if you close your eyes you could just cuddle a horse head, who knows?
-
*laughing*
-
It's nice and furry and soft.
-
*laughing*
-
Like; I don't know
-
This person, I think, is making a joke
-
I think so
-
Unless they really do think that you can frankenstein style
-
Like collect pieces of corpses and use the power of electricity to bring it to life
-
I mean they know I'm a scientist, maybe they know I'm a scientist?
-
That is a two part video
-
*laughing*
-
DIY boyfriend, you know, what is the problem with modern boyfriends? The problem is ;
-
How do you make one? Who knows?
-
Who knows? Where do they come from? How do you get one?
-
Are you gonna buy a boyfriend? Then you don't know where it's come from.
-
No, you don't know how it's been made.
-
Exactly! You don't know the ethics of -
-
You dont know where it like...
-
- These boyfriend factories, yeah.
-
Are the people making these boyfriends getting paid a living wage?
-
That's a serious concern!
-
You definitely want to DIY this yourself.
-
Make your own boyfriend out of sustainable materials; ham
-
Thrifted fabric,
-
Exactly! Thrifted eyeballs, thrifted organs.
-
*laughing*
-
You're gonna need these things!
-
*laughing*
-
I really like this next one.
-
...What .. the..
-
OHH! It's slippers!
-
Teddy bear slippers!
-
Well that's...
-
that... what you need for that, is you need one of those;
-
you know those birthday card chips?
-
You open a birthday card and it goes like;
-
*muffled noises*
-
like terribly recorded.
-
Yeah
-
What you need is one of those in there and every time you get the pressure of the foot
-
It's just like;
-
*screaming, yelling, groaning*
-
*laughing*
-
I had the same thought with these shoes
-
Cause like I did a similar thing, umm, when I made the teddy bear.
-
Yeah, when you killed that bear.
-
When I -
-
Okay, so, I felt guilty enough having to cut this open once and put a phone case in there
-
but with these ones you're literally, every time you step into these shoes
-
it's like you're stepping into the stomach, into the intestines of this bear.
-
And then, and then!
-
Not only that, you're then walking around each time you step.
-
It's like *screaming*
-
Here we go
-
This looks like an H.R. Giger picture.
-
Can you bring one up, like, on the screen?
-
Like go to the images. like -
-
Ooo!
-
- like it looks a little like this to me, these horrible like
-
Oooo! This is really scary! Ooo I don't like this, don't look that up!! I don't like it at all!
-
*Luci lauging* That's what it looks like to me!
-
It's like these babies squished through some industrial tube! It's horrible.
-
It's horrible! I'm not - I'm saying it's horrible!
-
Yeah
-
*Luci lauging* Ohh, you look so frightened!
-
I'm really frightened by that
-
I would love to see you make this cause I'd love to see you just like sawing the soles off some shoes.
-
Like people would be like "what are you doing?"
-
"I'm gonna put babies in here,
-
I'm gonna put some little babies,
-
with a viewing window so you can see 'em"
-
That's fashion(!) In fashion everything is everything(!)
-
Put some babies in there.
-
Oh ok, so this was a suggestion -
-
*Groaning* That bears legs are waaay too long.
-
*Laughing*
-
Pass! Weird bear.
-
*Laughing* So weird.
-
Mmmm, dead cat. That's a good suggestion.
-
No, it's a cute handbag.
-
Ahh!
-
It's a cute and fashionable handbag.
-
Tha-that's pretty creepy.
-
That looks like a dead cat to be perfectly honest.
-
No! It's a cute handbag!
-
It really, really looks to me like a cross between a cat and a worm
-
*Laughing*
-
Where is its legs? Thats a good question.
-
Well, its legs are gone because it's a dead cat bag
-
and the legs were not useful.
-
Aw, no.
-
*Luci laughing*
-
I'm not the one who sent in a picture of a dead cat.
-
It's not, it's a bag and it's from a Japanese designer and
-
there's even one that has a little hat on it
-
*Awkward laugh" Oh boy! That's even creepier.
-
Cute.
-
But the really creepy thing about that is, that person's not only killed and stuffed a cat
-
but then they've put it through the indignity of giving it a little boater hat
-
like an English schoolkid.
-
Aww
-
It's not - it's horrible!
-
I think it's cute.
-
Okay, so this is an item that is very very popular,
-
has been suggested by like literally everybody.
-
Pokemon Go!
-
No, it's this backpack.
-
Ah. Pokemon mould *laughs*
-
It kind of looks like Ash's backpack if it got a terrible virus.
-
Mould? It got like a mould infection -
-
Yeah.
-
- and then the galaxy..
-
*laughs*
-
And then the galaxy was there?
-
Maybe this is our galaxy, people.
-
Have ya ever thought about that? Expand your mind.
-
Maybe our galaxy is a mouldy backpack.
-
Welcome. To Cosmos.
-
So they also have a, I would say matching, pair of shoes.
-
Ahh. Mould shoes.
-
The ol' mould shoes(!)
-
See, now these ones don't look as mouldy because they don't have that, um
-
multicoloured pattern.
-
They don't look like a fashion thing. They look like an orthopaedic thing.
-
Yeah, no I think these might be like therapy shoes.
-
*Laughing* What do you mean therapy shoes?!
-
I know you wear them -
-
Psychotherapy?!
-
*laughing*
-
Massage shoes! They're massage shoes.
-
Ah, ok.
-
I think they'd be really uncomfortable to actually walk in.
-
They look like a nightmare, yeah, they don't look comfortable at all.
-
I feel like the shoe design that we have where you put your foot on a flat surface -
-
Works pretty well.
-
- has evolved over time.
-
So, I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to DIY these either.
-
Well it's simple, uh
-
You get a rubber shoe, melt it... in the sun
-
and then you put a bunch of marbles under there!
-
I'll make my own
-
You should make your own channel
-
I shouldn't
-
"Make Thrift Buy with Luci!"
-
*laughing*
-
Everyone would come and be like
-
"You stole this idea from Annika Victoria!!!11"
-
Little do they know that you actually came up with the concept of "Make Thrift Buy"
-
(sigh)
-
Little do they know...
-
The unsung hero of "Make Thrift Buy"
-
Luci actually came up with the concept of "Make Thrift Buy"
-
I came up with the name and put it together and everything else but you know
-
Luci: Yeah and made it and did all the work and did all the creative work-
-
But yeah, Luci came up with the initial concept for it!
-
Mhm
-
Which is pretty cool!
-
Yeah!
-
So thanks!
-
That's ok, it's materially contributed to my life in many good ways
-
*chuckling*
-
Because I walk around with you in public and people come up to you
-
And be like "It's Annika Victoria!" and I'm like
-
"Hey, and I'm somebody who knows her...!"
-
There's a little ol' thing called 'Internet Famous Girlfriend Club"
-
*laughing*
-
Okay... this guy... oh boy...
-
He.... Ok so my immediate reaction is
-
if I slept in this hamburger bed, I'd be so terrified all night of a giant hand
-
smashing through the window and like grabbing it
-
You think you'd come into Tiny Tale?
-
I think it's like a situation where
-
I'm exploring this amazing new world, I think I'm on an alien planet-
-
Actually I've been shrunk down by an evil scientist, and I don't realize
-
What looks to me like a soft bed is actually a hamburger!
-
And then I get eaten like, by my own... best friend or something
-
Yeah it'd be a bit scary to sleep in
-
How would you feel if you... came home one day
-
and I had replaced our bed with a DIY burger bed that I've made myself
-
Hmm...
-
Um... my publicist said I would only be asked questions about my up-coming movie
-
*laughing*
-
(fin-tastic)
-
*wheeze*
-
*laughing*
-
Everyone wants to be eaten!
-
Eaten by a hamburger, eaten by a shark?
-
I think it's uh, I think it's a thing
-
Uh yes, it is
-
It is a big thing on the internet
-
I love that this person- like it shows the progression of their relationship
-
*laughter*
-
First of all it's like
-
♫ Shark and me ♫
-
♫ Our relationship will never go downhill ♫
-
And then *sad tuba noise*
-
Yeah
-
Eaten
-
*wheeze*
-
They're still standing though
-
They're still standing and that is the most important thing in life
-
That is an important lesson
-
Yeah, maybe you get swallowed by a shark, you're still standing
-
Still standing
-
Y'know, what about self-care? Run a bath! The shark would like that
-
Probably dried out
-
He'd probably like it a lot!
-
Probably dried out like a big chip!
-
What is it supposed to be? Is it a sleeping bag?
-
I don't know
-
I think it's a sleeping bag
-
Looks to me like a Converse™ ad
-
Y'know it so draws the attention onto the Converse™
-
*chuckling* yeah
-
Like I feel like I'd go into a Converse™ store
-
and there be some sort of new, edgy campaign and one of them would just be that
-
It'd just be legs sticking out of a shark's mouth
Annika: It'd just be feet just sticking out of a shark?
-
Like an actual shark?
-
I should warn you Americans, if you come to Australia you WILL be eaten by a shark
-
Don't say that!
-
Yeah!
-
Half the Australian population is eaten by sharks every year (source not found)
-
Annika, whispering: that's not true
-
Luci, confidently: Mhm
-
And some of them are robo-sharks
-
//Mechanized//
-
Don't tell them about our robo sharks-
-
So everyone that is the end of the video!
-
And this is my Mystery Boyfriend, now no longer a mystery!
-
*chuckle*
-
So which of the items do you think that I should try and recreate on "Make Thrift Buy"?
-
Ummm
-
What's my favorite? My favorite was probably...
-
that bear with the real long, creepy legs
-
That was your favorite?
-
Just cuz that photo was really weird and I was just like "Pass, too creepy"
-
Ok, but would you really want a giant bear taking up our tiny apartment?
-
No... actually, I remember when you came home with that huge hamburger cushion
-
*laughing*
-
It was not 'huge' it was like-
-
*gasp*
-
I have-
-
Ok guys I almost had a hamburger bed once and-
-
What did- Why did I get rid of that cushion??
-
Is it still in our house??
-
I wish I had not reminded you of this horrible-
Annika: oh noO...
-
This cushion's //filthy//, people
-
Ohhh it was the best, I thrifted this hamburger pillow
-
it was like this big...
-
And it was so goOD
-
I think I-
-
Did you get rid of it??
-
I think I might've persuaded you to get rid of it 'cause it was //so// filthy
-
It was so impossible to clean
-
Oh yeah, it got covered in mold, I think
-
Yeah, it was disgusting
-
like a real hamburger, left under the bed
-
It got pretty moldy
-
Keep sending in weird suggestions
-
I actually really, really enjoy going through them and sometimes recreating them
-
And as I always say at the end of my videos...
