Hi, it's your meme mum
So I was like what's gonna the next video be?
Let me see and then I realized you guys really like when I'm judgmental about things
[I like hanging out with a vengeful bitch] but at the same time you don't cuz then you're like you're judgmental. So I was like
I'ma try to be honest, though
I've been thinking about this video for awhile and I never got around to doing it because I felt like it's a
controversial topic in a way like I feel like a lot of people could be offended by
Me not agreeing with them. So so lets do this! [nervous laughter]
So let's go back in time in
2015 there used to be like this huge boom for all kinds of like "hundred years of"
Videos the whole format was started by Cut
So they made a series of videos kind of
showcasing different beauty standards in different countries and different eras
And I think they were the first ones that did this and since then a lot of major media outlets were like "That sells!"
so they try to do the same thing in
2015 I remember watching those and
the first thing that always came into my mind was how little
research was done or even if there wasn't the research done the
Stylists killed the research and I was like as a person that was a little bit interested in fashion history at a time
I was like
Why would you pretend you know stuff when you don't and I did my own video which was triggered
primarily by this but also by the fact
all of these were kind of like showing the high fashion and it was always the fun way and I was like
Fashion does not always look like that. So that's why I made my own video and then Cut
Didn't really like that
apparently
Because the video went viral and they took it as it was kind of like a personal offense
That was kind of pointing out what they did wrong
Which I actually did not because I just pointed out what they didn't do
Which is why I felt it would be important to kind of fill in but I never pointed out
All the inaccuracies that they had because I didn't want to piss them off too badly
So today I am going to judge those videos harshly and I'm going to say what's wrong with them. And what's good about them
I just wanted to say that I do you understand how much work goes into videos like that?
It's a huge amount of work and I do understand that they have done the research
kind of you know
It's still impressive that they came up with these ideas and they make them it's it's usually it's not the makers fault
It's kind of like those
miscommunications between the people making the video that then
Turn out to be bad
So what pisses me off is not the people that made the video?
But the fact that those major media outlets are kind of respectable, you know, like we respect them
We believe that what they show is true. So I made a whole playlist. So we're gonna start off with
Kotzebue to go about the USA fashion
Okay, for some reason the very first decades of 20 century are the ones that are always the worst in
Every single video I have no idea why that is because they're quite simple to make in terms of hair
You just need to look at the photos
But people just always seem to think that old stuff is not sexy enough
and I've noticed that so many times people are just like especially
Stylist or kind of like we need to spice it up a bit
So here we have very Messier style with some loose hair
sticking out which I think if it was supposed to look like something from the ear eye it might kind of look like
Evelyn Nesbit hair she was an actress and she had some like
sexy style pictures
Where her hair was kind of like loose but no one would ever go out like that like check out the the actual photographs Mandira
Oh my goodness, it's
I'm just wondering how harsh can I because I don't I don't cut to be mad at me again
But this is not a good hairstyle
It could work better if it was supposed to be 1930s because that's when they kind of had this fluff to be honest, though
I don't understand why you wouldn't hire a vintage hair stylist for a video like that
especially for the first half of the 20th century because it's really not something that you can do well without
Formal training so why do they always hire modern hairstylist?
I'd have no clue because that's not what they were trained
And this actually looks like my hairstyle in the video I made into the 2015
Supposed to be nineteen thirties and let me just say I knew it was bad the moment I made it because it was so messy
And because you could clearly tell my hair were pinned up. This is another another thing that I think
Is the reason why some of those are really bad is because it's really hard to
differentiate the hairline in one video and herlands
Changed dramatically during the 20th century
but there are some tricks and there are some hairstyles that could work both for short and long hair and
This is just not one of them
Yeah, this is much better than the previous one it kind of
resembles
1930s, you know
You have the finger waves you have kind of the right land and the hair
Does not look like if you pulled it up and tried to pretend it's short. It's kind of this one is okay
The victory roll should never have a hole in it
Like show me a single picture later on the era of a girl wearing a victory roll. That is kind of see-through
That should never ever happen
That's the first thing that a vintage hair stylist will tell you and also not one more eyeliner in
1940s that's kind of more of a 1950's thing
Shall we a single picture of a person from 1950s looking like this? I will wait. Okay. So first of all
Okay, moving on hundred years of hemlines oh
My god, is that an authentic dress? That is an authentic 1910 dress. That is very nice glimmer well done
No
So the as I mentioned in one of my videos that you guys kind of liked but also forgive you cook me a lot
1920s you would not show your knee unless you were a prostitute or a dancer. So that is kind of untrue
Although I do think they have an original dress here is just too short for the model. Correct up to the knee
Well, if if that means covering the need and that's kind of true that again is an original dress
I am actually impressed with this video. This is really good and the shoes are original as well. I think
1950 this one is a bit like
Stereotypical 1950s but it still works. I mean the length is right and that's what the video is about
This model looks great in 1960s. Yeah, that's that's a good length. That's the right tights
No, this video is too good for me to like judge it. I need to find something better
Hundred years of beauty icons. What the hell is that?
Is that Josephine Baker? Okay, so the hair is not too bad. She is so pretty damn the dress though
It looks a bit too modern to me
Like it gives me this kind of like from dress vibe and the shoes are totally wrong
See this is what they often do in those videos. They have motor shoes buy really expensive
Brands, and it's a secret ad for those shoes
so
I don't know if you knew that but most of the shoes they have are like really modern and
Expensive shoes, and those videos are kind of like secretly
Advertising those shoes. That's what I've noticed at least. Oh
No, oh hell no, baby noo, this is very wrong
First of all, you're going for like Katherine Hepburn bodice lacks words style
That's more 1940s. Second of all this this suit screams modern
Why would her hair be so long if it's supposed to be 1930s? This outfit is just plain wrong. Oh
My goodness, what on earth is this
What is this this is Oh Ava Gardner is
Going to raise from her grave and bitch you up, baby
Everything about this look is plain wrong
I'm beginning to believe that other is the one that has worse
Styles whereas Gilmore is actually doing the good job
1950s
You know, if you're if you're having your model we're awake why don't you get the one that has lace in front
So it actually looks believable. I'm just so sick of those fake Marilyn's everywhere
You just you're just put the poor, you know blond wig on and you're like, I'm Marilyn
But no like you have to put some effort into it. Maybe just try to style it properly
I mean, I'm actually happy they did this look and not the white dress
Miss Taylor
That's not even about fashion. No, like it's kind of like Halloween costumes like it could work as a Halloween costume
evolution of hats
What is this what is this on what on earth is this this looks
1960s they had this style of hat in
1960s this is so wrong. Unless they're going to squeeze it after oh
No, baby. No the clash hats were really low and they were really fitting around your hair had
Really tight and they would almost cover your eyebrows and they would cover your ears and they would not be that tall
See, this is the the reference picture. How could you not tell that the hat in the video is almost twice as tall?
No, not really like this this is not really what they wore in 1930 sometimes I think what people don't get is
That it's not only about hat, but it's also about where you wear it. For example, you had pillbox hat both in
1940s 1950s and 1960s but in each decades and in a in each like sort of era you would wear them on different
places around your head
So for example 1940s you would sort of have them towards your forehead and sometimes asymmetrical in 1950s
You would have them usually either straight there also towards your forehead and then in 1960s you would have them pulled
To the back of your head, so it's not only about getting a vintage hat
But you also need to figure out how to wear it
And it's also really important what of hairstyle you wear it with C on the on the reference photo
It's worn in the front and on the side. So why would you pull it on the back of your head?
Hi, I have a feeling this hat is worn sideways
This one is supposed to be 1960s and it kind of is like the hairstyle is and the hat is except it's like
69 versus
62 or something
So yes
They did wear pillbox hats like that and they wore hair like that's sort of but it's kind of like completely different styles and different
Edges of the decade. So for example a hairstyle like that could be worn by a teenager in
1967 why would you wear a hat like that? If we were a teenager, you know what I mean?
So again after 60s, it's kind of way easier to style it because there were so many trends that you can basically get right
400 years of dresses that could be interesting
Should I just point out everything that's wrong with this look or should I just move on the dress is too short
The dress is too tight
It shouldn't be fitting like this around the waist especially I can't even see the shoes, but I can guess they're wrong
Yes, they are
They actually are Wow
Of course, there is fringe down there that shouldn't be there because no one ever had fringe because it was expensive
The shoes are great. They're looking really cool, except they're modern and no one would worse sandals in
1920s this is so wrong. This is so wrong. What is wrong with your hair? What is she doing?
I mean I get a silk sateen kind of thing
But it's too short if it's supposed to be an evening dress it should cover
It should be like floor-length with a long train. See see they know what I'm talking about
They're just not doing it and the hair it's tragic. It's really bad and you can see this one piece that became undone
It's kind of like hanging loose. Why did I never get the beehive right? It always looks like it kind of
Elongate to the skull or something
It's always too small like make it as wide as the head I is
Okay, so they got the dress kind of right even though the pattern looks really modern
I don't think it's an original dress from the era and the hair is kind of weird like it will work better for 19
For earlier
1990s that's a modern dress, isn't it? It doesn't look 1990 the hair looks kind of watering too better
You got the makeup, right and the shoes. No one would pair shoes like that with a dress like this in
1990s. I don't think so. Unless you got a proof. No. No, she's wearing sandals. Hi
So basically what happened is I somehow managed to delete
one of the recordings in which I was summing up the whole thing and basically
Ending the video as you can tell I am not feeling fantastic right now, but I'll try and end this video anyway
So, why did I do all this? Why did I judge other people's work?
And why did I feel the need to point out every single in accuracy they did?
Mainly because I'm hoping this would improve
like mainly because I'm hoping people would start to notice things that are wrong about these videos because I'm so tired of
seeing comments like you see something that's clearly not historically accurate and the comments are like oh
I wish I lived in the 1920s and I'm like you have no clue because this is not what
1920s looked like and worst of all, I wish people
Watching those videos
kind of knew they can't believe everything that's shown there and
They kind of have to check the facts all the time
And also I wish that the creators of those videos if they ever somehow managed to stumble upon this video
Which is quite unlikely to be honest that they would feel the need to improve their work because it's such a great idea
And it's such a simple way to teach people about fashion history, but it's so easy to just make it not that good
So I hope that's clear. I hope you don't hate me too much and if you do there are
Plenty of other channels you can watch I'm just kidding don't hate me
I'm gonna go in grab some tea and see you in the next video, which I have no idea when it's gonna be
