Just some make-up and costumes, as per usual. I’ve been making some new friends in yourpants.org
Yup, we’re a weird sub-culture.
My profile in your pants (haha, never gets old) is here.
If you want to see more of my CATS costumes, as i describe them in their ancient pitiful glory…
This week I present to you, the bloopers from last week’s JelliclesVlog video. Yes, I know, lazy video Jenny, why couldn’t you have thought up something new? Well, this video montage was actually requested by Roxanne, my partner in crime for the original video. So I did it for her mainly, and come on…who doesn’t like bloopers?
For those of you who like guessing games, watch this short but sweet Monday Vlog. It’s two truths and a lie, because for this video, I was being lazy.
Tonight The Long Holidays have a concert so perhaps I will record some live footage. Look for a new video in the next week here!
This post is coming a bit late, I know. But my weekly videos did not! Jim did not post a video, but that’s because he’s in Canada being awesome. (doing science-y stuff!)
So this video is another oldy but goody, added some royalty-free music and my little out-tro. Oh and…it contains me in Cats makeup…cause I know Jim needs warning…*headdesk*
This week has been ‘Collab Week’ on JelliclesVlog, and I was paired up with Roxanne from the CCDB. We did a fake commercial for the CCDB and it was quite silly but a lot of fun. (Warning: Cats makeup and a partial fur-suit involved..I know…be very afraid…)
Haha, I put this post in the Acting category for that…
That’s all for now everyone, keep telling your friends about my YouTube channel so I can get that Social Media contest started!
What is fandom? Wikipedia says it “is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.” That seems about right. It’s a well known fact, if you know me, that I tend to get pulled toward the little known harmless subcultures. Such as the band Hanson or the musical Cats. (Really, those are the main two.) Cats in fact has inspired me to become more artistic growing up. A long and seemingly never-ending project I’m ‘working on’ is a fan fiction based in the world of Cats, dating back to 24 years before the Jellicle Ball that is the musical. It’s an epic tale conceived with one of my best friends Julie, whom I met in Jr. High (when the story got started). We are currently re-writing it, mostly for our own enjoyment. I got to see her for New Years and together we got to talking about what we always talk about; how the characters in this famous yet conceptual musical are related.
Also, recently I’ve met some girls who are interested in the costume design of the musical. We all have dressed up as the characters different times in our lives, for fun and for performance. It’s a bit of an odd hobby (and nervously borders on the world of ‘furrys’ which I am not a part of) However, it is harmless creativity and fun. I talked a bit about my experiences with Cats costuming in my Monday vlog here:
Thank you for putting up with my odd fandom talk, there will be more of it here for sure. If anyone has any ideas for videos for my main channel, Cats related or not, let me know!
There is a trend on YouTube, more popular a few years ago, of sharing a channel (account) between usually five people. Each person posts a ‘vlog’ (video blog) on their given day. It’s kind of a cross between a blog, pen pals, and a reality show and it’s most often referred to as a ‘collab channels.’ I’m a fan of two of the biggest collab channels. VlogBrothers and FiveAwesomeGirls. Well, I’ve got together with a few girls I’ve met online via. the The CCDB (Cats fan costumes) and we have decided to make our own. We’re starting in January and I’m Monday. Watch the trailer and subscribe to the channel for more!
I am a Cats fan, true. I enjoy making costume replicas and wearing them for fun, true. I occasionally make them to sell or take commissions from other fans, true. There are many many others like me, true. You may not understand it and you may even outright hate it but that’s you, not me. Soon I actually will set up a commission page for knitting, crepe wool wigs, and perhaps even unitard painting. Last weekend though, I got to wear a Cats costume not made by me and prance around with the other SoCal Cats fans!!
