I am going to recreate the Mean Girls movie poster
so I feel like everyone
knows this film it was a film of my childhood / teenage years and it's just
an iconic movie and I thought it would be fun to recreate the movie poster so
I have bought outfits that are as close to these outfits as I could possibly get
and what we're gonna do I am gonna dress up in the outfit I'm gonna do exactly
the same poses I'm gonna do the makeup the same I've got wigs and we're gonna
recreate the movie poster so I'm kind of combining fashion and graphic design
hopefully this will turn out well I actually scoured the internet to find
outfits that were anything like the outfits they had on but I went on Amazon
I went on pretty little thing I went on boohoo and I went on asos and I got
a selection of different clothes that were the closest I could find and let's
give it a go that one there that's Karen Smith she is one of the dumbest
girls you will ever meet for the first outfit I think I'm gonna go with Karen
classic Karen but I've got like a patterned little skirt some pointed
stilettos which were very very hard to find I will have you know oh she's got a
white watch one I need to grab that and then a little plain top I got this this
was the closest I could get to a semi patterned bandeau skirt it's just a little
ditzy floral skirt I wouldn't wear this myself but it's very cute if you wanted
it I got the top from pretty little thing and it's just a nudey pink colored
top again it was super hard to match the colors exactly so I'm probably gonna
have to do a little bit of tweaking in Photoshop then the shoes these are the
brightest shoes ever but they're from truffle collection and just a little
stiletto heel and a pointed toe there's not much more to say I think they speak
volumes for themselves and the final part of this outfit I feel kind of
catfished by it's the wig so this is supposed to be a blond wig doesn't look
blonde when this arrived the other day in the
post I was very upset so here we have an and almost blonde wig
to be honest I feel like Karen's hair is close to this color but again Photoshop
Photoshop is my friend I will have to photoshop it together just got myself a
little nude colored watch and let's get this outfit on I'm aware that I don't
have much pouty-ness to my lips but what can you do now I'm gonna attempt to
put a wig on
what am i doing with my life we're gonna head over to my camera and
attempt to take some photos mum I need you to take over for me you'll never
look at me the same again ow these are so tight right that foot needs to
go behind the other leg but with your foot facing that way you're right what
oh it's so warm mum help you're putting where your watch is yeah you're shoving your a** that
way and I need my mirror hang on hang on how the f**k does she do that that bits behind right head that
way but look at me and you're pouting but you're looking at me evil takes a
human form in Regina George she's the queen bee the star those other two are the two are
just her little workers I'm now going on to do Regina George
the iconic I have got the same shoes that I wore for Karen despite the fact
they don't actually fit on my feet the same wig which is gonna be a bit of a
dilemma because like it's too dark it's not blonde enough so I'll have to
brighten that up when I edit but I think most of it is actually like behind her
neck so we should be alright for the outfit I hunted high and low for this stupid
little cardigan it's just a baby pink button up cardigan that's quite small
and fitted then I got a little pink skirt and I'm pretty sure this is just
like a tennis skirt yeah it was the closest I could get to the like
schoolgirls skirt she's got on and then she has a little white
vest on so I just got this little vest from pretty little thing just a scoop
neck vest and then the final bit which I'm really impressed that I managed to find
I got this from Amazon and it is a little r like a necklace with r on
it for Regina so very happy about that right let's put the outfit on time for the
wig is definitely too dark but I think we can get away with it a
little necklace am I channeling my inner Regina George oh my god I love
your bracelet why did you get it oh my god I love your bracelet where did you
get it
that's it oh my god if we did that in three shots I can't feel my toes let me just
do one more I need to like elongate me neck bit
ah look at you with two strands and
everything yeah that looks good I mean that's best we're gonna get that little
one that's Gretchen weiners Gretchen Weiners knows everybody's business she
knows everything about everyone Gretchen wieners her hair is so big because it's
full of secrets so I did think my hair is the closest to hers
but I ordered a wig anyway because it's not quite as long and hers is kind of
like Auburn red kind of color this is literally what my hair used to look like
before I had it cut short then she's wearing a jumper if I wasn't
already melting enough as it is today I've got a jumper it's not quite the
right pink shade because once again it did not exist I went on every shop I
could think of but it's like a cropped ribbed pink jumper just needs to be a bit
darker she's got her belly out I am definitely not that toned or tanned so
I'm gonna have to Photoshop myself a tan of some sort and then the skirt I'm
actually pretty impressed with how close I got with the skirt so again pretty
little thing I'll leave everything I bought linked down below in case you do
like any of it but it's just this little I suppose it's kind of a bandeau skirt
with a bit of a frill on the bottom so it's it's similar to the one she's
wearing but not spot-on but this was again the closest I could find and
somehow in the array of parcels I ordered I forgot to order some like
black stiletto sandal shoes so I have these
ones which aren't stilettos but they're sandals or I have these ones which are
stilettos but aren't sandals I think I'm gonna go for these because then at least
I'm I'm in a big heel but yeah that was an error on my part my bad I spent like
two hundred-pounds making this video oh and she's got a little bracelet of some
sort on I'm not quite sure what that is she has got like a square necklace
thing necklace but I couldn't find anything at all similar to that so we're
just gonna leave that one out so I just need like a chunky bracelet of
some sort I will find one right I'm gonna transform myself into Gretchen
wieners Glenn Cocco four for you Glenn Cocco you go Gelnn Cocco and none for Gretchen
wieners bye I'm having way too much fun with this
also thought I would say my neighbors are having a little birthday party for their
two-year-old son and I'm walking around in my office in a bra and thong the wig
is on it's just like me when I had my hair long this is the least offensive outfit
of all of them which leg this one is it straight or bent straight
and your a** is that way
this is gonna be the easiest one have I got enough hip pop a little tiny
more that's it I'm getting cramp in my thumb good yeah got that we did it one
more to go I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops so I bought army
pants and flip-flops oh we're on the last one so we're on cady heron
Cady Cady it's pronounced like Katie for her she is wearing some like boot
leg jeans low-rise I definitely had a pair of these when I was a young 'un not
anymore and again didn't really exist this was the
closest I could get but here they are flared jeans I feel like they might be
a little bit baggy on me then again could not find a top similar to the top
that she was wearing for some reason it didn't exist so I got this one from
pretty little thing it is the wrong shade of red but again hopefully with
some Photoshop magic I'll be able to fix it oh my god it's a bodysuit I will not
be wearing it as a bodysuit No thank you not today then I got a questionable
looking wig oh I'm running out of lip gloss these girls are like lip gloss
Queens then this this probably looks like the cheapest wig out of all of them
it actually cost me 12 pounds this wig definitely didn't break the bank with it
did I so whatever expectations you might have had by this point in the video I
know how how much I've totally smashed this just lower them a little bit this
wig doesn't look promising I'm gonna look like Merida it'll be fine it'll be fine
and then finally I got some more pointed shoes I'm presuming she's got stilettos
on but you can't actually see the heels so I chickened out and I just got some
flats feel like these will do the job and hopefully the jeans are long enough to
cover them I'm getting flashbacks to my youth
I wonder how long it actually took them to have this photo shoot bet it weren't this long no
why do I do this to
myself make sure you check her mom's boob job
their hard as rocks we're done we've done the photos I'm gonna try now
and edit them all together and hopefully it's gonna look okay right so I have
brought the photos into Adobe Lightroom and I've picked my favorites so what
I've noticed in here is that I am very pale and I am not as skinny as these
girls but oh well um and also there's a bit of editing I definitely need to do
so yeah I've just been sat like looking at the photos one of them like I like my
feet in this one but I don't like my face and then on the other one we've
chopped off my foot so I'm gonna have to edit like my foot back in but when I
chopped myself out it should be alright and then this one yeah I just have
considerably bigger thighs well right let's get to it
many hours have been spent editing it is now four days later and I've just
finished editing the photos it taken me so much longer than I thought I was
gonna but I think I've got it to the best I possibly can so initially I was
gonna film the whole process of me editing it but it literally took hours and
hours and that would have been really boring to watch so basically I have
screenshot the progress as I was editing sent it to my phone and we're
gonna have a look through it so you can see the transformation of me turning
into a mean girl I am part of plastics now actually I am all the plastics so
once I chose my favorite photos in Lightroom I put them all into a
Photoshop document so here you'll see that I have arranged the photos into
this document and tried to like scale them to a similar scale to the poster
that I was recreating so once I put these together I realized just how much
work I needed to do to get these to look anything like it the colors were off
I am nowhere near as tanned I should have lit up my legs when I took the
photos because my legs look so much darker than my face but I mean the
premise is there just needed a bit of work so I've got the poster and now I
need to place myself into the poster so in order to do that I chopped my
characters out of the poster and then I filled them back in so I filled that
area with the same color as the background and kind of blended it up so
it was a nice smooth kind of base to start with probably should have done
this first but so once I'd smoothed the edges I dragged my lindsay lohan's self
into the image and I recoloured it I'll put on screen now the before and after
before I change the colors basically I completely changed the color of my shirt
I even like copied and pasted the buttons on her shirt and the little seam
on her arm I copied that over and then I actually ended up copying a lot of the
hair over because that wig was just something else and it didn't look right
I also copied the shoes because the angles my
feet was annoying me so I literally just copied and pasted my feet this was the
one that I edited the most I think because I wanted this one to look the
most accurate I guess the shape of my face is nothing
like hers but what can you do I even remembered the bobble on my wrist when I
took the photo and I actually slimmed my thighs down a little bit because I'm
most certainly not the same body shape as her then I put the plastics the 3 og
plastics in there and these are un edited photos and you can just see the
contrast difference between the edited one and the unedited one so then I went
in and edited those all separately so first for Regina I actually really liked
how my hair looked in this or my wig I mean my mum managed to like pull out
two strands perfectly and pretty much get my pose and stuff bang on I mean my
skin looks a bit weird and I don't have stick thin legs but overall pretty
happy with that I just brightened up my legs because as
I said I should have lit them up when I took the photo and I adjusted the
contrast and like the shade of the skirt so yeah I'm kind of becoming a bit more
Regina George coloured then I went on to Karen I did the same for her so my skirt
initially wasn't anything like the same color but it was the closest I could
find so I tried my best to change the color of that skirt but it was annoying
me and I was losing patience so that's the best I could get the skirt to for
the time I had I brightened my legs again I put like so many different
layers of like orange filters on the legs and on the face because the final
movie poster was so like orange toned that and I'm just not clearly I needed
to it make it look like I was so yeah I changed the color of her shirt
brightened my legs I added some shadow up and down the thighs made it look a bit
more accurate as accurate as I could get I was debating editing in the hair like
actually borrowing Karens actual hair and putting it on mine but again lost my
patience couldn't be bothered so that's the best we got with Karen and this one
makes me laugh so much so this this is Gretchen and I am
fully tangoed like I look like a cheesy whatsit you know that scene in angus
thongs when she's got cheesy wotsit legs like that's me I gave myself a major
tan I also contoured some ABS and I used like the burn tool and the dodge
tool to like add some contour changed the color of the jumper which I think I got
pretty much spot-on which is nice yeah I was gonna edit the shoes again but I
lost patience and then the face I look like an alien like what is the face
I was trying my best to like add contour and like I added a bit of darker makeup
around my face I zoomed out and I looked like that so weird it looks like
someone's stuck my face on in the wrong place I genuinely didn't move it I just
contoured it really badly okay I'm sorry let's look at both of them
together I think I've done all right you know considering how completely
different I look to all of the girls I am nowhere near as thin as those girls I
don't have the face shape I'm not blonde obviously like the wig wasn't great for
the blonde ones but I think at a distance you think that's just the
normal poster and then you zoom in and think wait a second
that's not Lindsay Lohan so yeah let me know what you think of this video I hope
you've enjoyed watching it it's been so fun to create and edit it's been a lot of
work but I've actually really enjoyed the process and I'm pretty impressed
with the final result actually so little tap on the back for me
did anyone use to do that in primary school everyone give yourselves a tap
on the back so yeah thank you so much for watching this video if you did enjoy it
please do give it a thumbs up share it with your pals let me know if you'd like
me to do anything like this again leave some suggestions as to what I could
recreate down below I think this could make a fun little series but yeah thank

character from Mean Girls so I know you got to the very end of the video that's
