- Dim sum, festive dim sum.
I don't think they actually make the dim sum festive though.
- Oh, I bet they do in some restaurants in like Chinatown.
- They do.
- Like, little piggies with hats on.
- Like, when we were in Malaysia
and we had the Chinese New Year dim sum,
and it was rabbit themed.
- Oh, yeah. - That was really good.
Do you think this year it'll be dragon themed?
How do they make a bao like a dragon?
I have so many questions.
Currently stuck in traffic.
Claudia can't quite cope.
- I'm so hungry.
- She needs the dim sum.
- We both need dim sum, don't we, Rupert?
We wanted to go yesterday but Jessica was too unwell.
So we've had to delay it to today,
and now this traffic is just tantalizing.
- Also, we've been sat here discussing
the types of dim sum we like the best
and which ones we want to eat.
It probably wasn't the smartest idea
'cause now we are really thinking about it.
- [Claudia] Such a weird little car.
Well named, though.
- [Jessica] Oh, it's called a Cube.
- [Claudia] Yeah.
- [Jessica] Oh, it is a cube.
Look it, it's a tiny little dog picture.
- You like the Cube?
- [Rupert] Yeah, I do.
- [Jessica] Can you see the Cube?
- [Rupert] I did.
- [Jessica] Oh, you did.
- [Claudia] He sees it and he sees everything
I can see in his mirror.
- [Jessica] Oh, of course, right.
Rupert has a backwards mirror
so he can see whatever we can see,
which does make filming him a hazard.
I can film the back of his head
and look, the fact he's taken off his shoes.
There are his socks.
- [Claudia] He doesn't like to drive with his shoes on.
- No, has to take his shoes off in the car
because being in the car is like being inside the house.
The best dim sum place in town.
We made it, we made it.
(cheerful holiday music) (crowd murmuring)
One happy lady.
You like that one?
- [Claudia] He's come to a stop.
Oh, he runs!
- Hello, lovely people and Merry Christmas.
Welcome, welcome one and all.
Okay, today's video is a highly requested rerun
of me giving my wife a vintage makeover.
Oh yes, we are doing it again.
Now, I think the last time I gave her a full vintage look,
she had long hair.
So, this time we're doing it with her newly shortened hair.
I say newly.
She's actually had a short hair for the same length of time
our child has been alive,
which is very bizarre to think about
because you can hold a full conversation with him.
So,
he's a full human.
But yes, she's agreed to let me put my hands,
get my hands on her hair, which I love
because her hair is such a different texture to mine
and it really holds a curl well.
She has very thick strands.
They are,
already naturally
have a wave to them.
Gorgeous. She has gorgeous hair. Lovely.
She hates it.
Now Claudia, my darling wife,
has a style that I would describe as tomboy.
I guess we're going go for.
It's a relaxed look.
She is, much more shops in the men's department
but looks, I don't know.
I always say she looks like a a grownup skater girl.
Largely because that was my, that was my
thing as a teenage girl.
Who was I most attracted to? Skater girls.
Who am I most attracted to now? Grown up skater girls.
Did she used to own a skateboard? Yes.
Could I put her back on a skateboard? Yes.
It's really worked out well for me, this life thing.
It's going well.
Does she enjoy makeup? No.
Does she enjoy hair stuff? No.
Does she enjoy wearing dresses? No.
So, let me know what you think of today's outcome.
If you'd like to see our previous makeover
where we actually swap styles from many moons ago,
click the card right up here
or the link in the description down below.
Here's Claudia in her natural state.
Describe your style.
- I am wearing a pair of 501 Levi jeans
and you know, - [Jessica] This is her bum.
- Like most people probably do these days.
I'm wearing a black sweatshirt
with some cooking stains on it.
- [Jessica] Wait, I didn't get the cooking stains.
- Yep. - [Jessica] Cooking stains.
- Generally part of my look.
I've got a little bit of like,
I dunno, that's pretty much it, isn't it?
I've got some men's socks on
that I bought for Goodwood and I actually now
wear them all the time.
- [Jessica] Yeah. - I quite like them.
- [Jessica] Yeah, I like the pile of clothes
in the background. - Probably the most
vintage thing I'm wearing right now.
And this is how I do my hair.
I don't brush it.
(Jessica laughs)
- [Jessica] Are you excited for your vintage makeover?
- I am actually quite excited. - [Jessica] Ooh.
- Does it mean you have to brush my hair?
- [Jessica] Yes. (record scratches)
(Jessica and Claudia laughing)
Incredible.
(Claudia singing)
- [Jessica] Ooh.
- I don't know how to pose.
- Okay,
let's begin.
First, we're going to start with some makeup.
Okay, we have eyeliner.
This is my favorite eyeliner.
It's the Maybelline Matte Waterproof Eyeliner.
It's the only thing that works for my hooded eyes.
Everything else just runs, runs.
There's nothing I can do about it.
So difficult to put makeup up on other people.
Just a bit, don't open them all the way
or else the eyeliner's gonna stick to your eyelid.
Just a little bit open, but you can keep 'em closed.
- I have actually had my eyelashes tinted before.
- Oh. - Crazily.
It was 'cause one of the nurses
at the practice I used to work at did it
and she was like wanting to practice
and I was like, "Yeah, why not?"
Like, you know, seems like short term effort
to go get it done, but long-term gain
by not having to put a mascara on.
- Yeah. - It was a bit terrifying.
- Having someone else put things in your eyes.
Okay, it's just me.
Stop moving your eyes. - No.
- Stop moving them. My goodness.
Okay, if this comes out badly, it's because you didn't move,
you didn't stop moving your eyes.
- Well, I think it's a natural reflex
to blink when someone comes at you.
- Would you like to put your own mascara on?
(Claudia and Jessica laughing)
This is going really well for me.
- Okay, give me a mirror.
There's one in that drawer.
- I'm much better at hair.
- I haven't got very, I haven't got very long eyelashes.
Don't you normally put fake ones on?
- Yes. - Let's not do that then.
- No, I'm not gonna put fake eyelashes on you.
We'll be here all day.
They're very short, you have very short eyelashes.
- Yeah, well I'm Asian.
That's kind of-
- Is that a thing?
- No.
I thought it was then like, I've actually met
a lot of Asian people who have lovely, long lashes
and I'm like, "Oh, it's just me."
I do think my- - Your family?
- My dad has short lashes, doesn't he?
I'm pretty sure.
- Your dad's the white one.
- Yeah, I know. And he's got short lashes.
That's why I'm thinking, like, maybe my whole like idea
has gone out the window, and my mom had short lashes too,
so I think I'm just someone born from
two people with short eyelashes.
- You didn't have a chance. - No.
I had to go to the post office this morning
and I was wearing this...
Well, first of all, I had to drop Rupert off at school
when I was wearing this on my head,
which I was very, quite self-conscious about,
but luckily it was raining so I put
my hood of my jacket on top.
So, I don't think anyone really noticed,
they just thought I had my hood on.
- Lipstick! Bing! (Claudia sneezes)
Ooh!
- I'm so sorry.
I was holding that in to try not to get my eyes all messy.
Lipstick never really goes, wears well on my lips because...
- I'm trying to be cute.
- Oh. - Ding!
(Claudia and Jessica laughing)
- I can imagine that's how people think
you put your makeup on.
- It is, don't break the illusion.
- That tickles so much.
(Claudia and Jessica laughing)
- If you could just stop giggling.
- It's so tickly. - Okay.
- How do you do this to yourself?
Oh, it's giving me a headache.
Oh! (Claudia and Jessica laughing)
- Babe.
Hold your lips just in tension
and stop moving away from me.
There we go, thank you.
(Claudia screams)
- Stop screaming.
- I can't.
- It's just lipstick.
You can do this.
Come on, I do this every day.
- I'm crying.
- She's actually crying.
Okay, lipstick's not that bad. You can do it.
- My eye makeup's probably getting ruined, darling.
- It's okay.
We just do the other side.
I didn't know that makeup was going to make you cry.
- Well, you're shoving things in my eye.
I mean, like...
- This is going really well.
- Oh.
- Absolutely, give your tomboy spouse a makeover
to be a vintage girlie.
Highly recommend. Going well, going well.
There we go, you get to take the hood off.
- These were so painful to sleep on by the way.
I was like, "Do you know what?
This might be the cause of all your migraines, Jessie."
The fact that you sleep in rollers all the time.
- I don't sleep in rollers every night.
- Every other night.
Here we go.
- You pretty much have a migraine every other day.
- Right.
Gonna spin you around.
(cheerful holiday music)
Sorry, sorry.
Claudia hates having her hair brushed.
She does not brush her hair unless it's wet.
(Claudia groans)
(Jessica laughs) Okay?
- There's two mag pies outside.
One for sorrow, two for joy.
Oh, gosh. You could warn me. Oh, goodness.
(cheerful holiday music)
- What do you think
of how your hair looks so far there, darling?
- Can't see it, darling.
(Claudia and Jessica laughing)
- I can just tell you, you look amazing.
- I did quite enjoy when we dressed up for Goodwood.
- Yeah, you looked really good.
- [Claudia] The first time and the second time.
- [Jessica] You look very good in vintage.
- [Claudia] Wonder why.
- You're just very, very good looking.
(Claudia laughs)
I mean I realize I'm very biased,
especially as your wife.
- Sometimes I do think,
"Hmm, it'd be nice if I was one of those ladies
that wore make up, and always had their hair nice,
and wore fashionable like clothes all the time."
And people, I could like look at myself proudly
and be like, "Ooh, look at that attractive lady
that I am walking down the street,
or going to this event, or whatever it was."
- But then-
- Well then I'm like, "Well that's just,
but that's not me inside." (Claudia laughs)
- I think you're look lovely all the time.
- Oh, thanks.
I sometimes feel like I'm not like, you know,
maximizing the gifts I have been given,
that I have been graced with,
and that they're wasted on me
and they would be much better used by someone else
who actually wanted to flaunt it a bit more.
- That's hilarious.
You're like, "I'm so good looking and yet I do not use it."
(Claudia and Jessica laughing)
- Yeah. - Okay, whoa.
- If I made myself up and wore a dress and some heels,
I went, I mean that's so bad, that stereotyped kind of like,
or not even dress and heels like, I don't know.
Just wore something more eye catching
or wore like more out there clothing.
I think I'd be, like, more attention grabbing,
but then I guess that's true of everyone, isn't it?
- I personally think
you're really gorgeous when you're walking down the street
in those, like, boyfriend cut jeans that you have,
and then your aviator jacket,
and what are those like high top shoes you have
that match your aviator jacket?
- My Uggs. - Are they Uggs?
- Yeah, the ones you bought me.
- Yeah, with the zip.
I think you look really gorgeous in those.
I'm like, "Ooh, yeah."
Well,
this hair is done.
- Oh, wow, is it?
- Boom.
(cheerful holiday music)
How are you feeling about your transformation?
- It does actually make me want to automatically,
like, swish and turn.
My feet feel like they've been stuck into, like,
cement pegs or something, like so uncomfortable.
Why do people wear high heels like this?
I'm actually trying to train my toes to spread out.
Barefoot shoes. (Jessica laughs)
So, this is totally opposite.
It's not good for my feet.
- [Jessica] No.
Also, they're too small because they're my shoes.
- They're too small.
That's probably why they feel extra, like,
tight around my toes right now.
My hair feels like, actually quite manageable.
It's not in my face, it's all good.
It's not pinching or pulling.
- [Jessica] It looks amazing. - My lips feel quite sticky.
I don't really like having things on my lips.
Like I do sometimes wear lipstick,
but I wear like, ones that are kind of
quite like matte and lip balmy. And...
- [Jessica] The dress?
- The dress is actually quite comfortable.
It's quite nice.
- [Jessica] You like it?
Should we go pick Rupert up from school in the dress?
- No, I'm going to get changed back into
my joggy bottoms and jumper, (Jessica laughs)
and I may well just actually sit in the car
and let you go in and get him.
- I see. (cheerful holiday music)
And there we are. And there we have it.
Her gorgeous new style.
(Jessica laughs) I love her hair.
I think it looks so good.
She doesn't, she refused to get out the car.
We had to go pick up Rupert from school
and she wouldn't get out of the car.
She made me go.
Offended.
She looks amazing, right?
It's not just like it's my best work ever.
It's not, it's probably not my best.
No, it is. I'm gonna claim that.
It's really good, it's really good hair.
I think I did well today.
Let me know what you think in the comments down below.
I will also be linking all of the products that I used,
which is, to be honest, not that many.
Her hair does not need that much to look fabulous.
We just use...
(Jessica laughs) We just use.
We do. It is a we,
because I am in control of her hair routine.
Because if I didn't, she would wash her hair with soap.
I have to. Sometimes you've just gotta step in.
Here's the right Kerastase products for your wife.
They will all be linked in the description down below.
I hope you've really enjoyed this video
and that you are enjoying
seeing a little bit of Vlogmas so far.
Remember that I'm also putting out shorts.
You can still watch shorts on your desktop,
and probably on your TV.
Okay, much winter, snowy love to all of you
and I shall see you in my next video.
(Jessica blows kiss) (cheerful holiday music)
