- The teens!
The youths!
- Is there anything they can't do these days?
- If it isn't fighting for safer schools,
or starring in major television shows,
- This age bracket is finding super creative ways
to change the world.
- Today, we're tapping into their resourcefulness,
and trying a little challenge that the youths created.
- It's Ladylike, and today we're trying
the Instagram Craft Store Challenge.
(snapping and drum beats)
- So today, we're gonna go to a craft store
up in Studio City and sneak in,
and try to take the most bomb pictures,
because what has gone super viral recently
is teens are creeping in to stores
like Michael's or Jo-Ann's,
and taking beautiful pictures with their cell phones,
and posting it on Instagram.
They look like professional pictures.
- You know, as a teen, I was just at the mall.
I was just at the mall,
tryin' to get chose.
- I budgeted 30 minutes for us
to be in this craft store.
- Oh my God, we only have 30 minutes to do it?
- We're gonna try not to
get kicked out of the craft store,
but also take awesome photos on a time crunch.
There are a lot of factors here.
- I can only get good photos or not get kicked out,
I can not do both.
- But we have the beautiful Rachel here,
who's gonna give us some makeup looks,
because if we're gonna be filming in the craft store
where we might get kicked out,
if we're not gonna have professional cameras,
I want to make sure that we at least
have our makeup ready to go.
- The idea of taking photos in a craft store is very ah!
My inner teen is really worried
that I'm gonna get in trouble.
- I mean listen, I think you can do a lot with a little,
and I'm excited to explore that today.
- Honestly, just the producer in me
is worried we're gonna kicked out,
so...
we'll see.
Let's do this.
You guys ready to go to a craft store in the Valley?
- Let's go to the craft store in the Valley!
- Let's go to the Valley!
- To a craft store.
- So, we'll go in, we'll talk really loudly
about glue and popsicle sticks,
throw them off the scent.
We'll be like, "I have a dollhouse that I'm building!"
Ah! - Gotta go figure this out.
- Gotta figure out my dollhouse.
I've never been on a secret mission before.
- Yeah, we gotta be covert about it.
- What if we get arrested?
(record scratching)
- Who's posting bail?
- Jen?
- Oh God.
I really hope that this craft store
isn't crowded today.
- I hope it is, cause that way we have more cover.
It's like, don't rob a casino - Oh true.
- when it's empty.
You rob it on fight night.
(dramatic hip hop music)
- Kristen was very nervous the entire time.
I'm gonna have you stand over here.
- I'm gonna do nothing, sounds good.
I was so freaked out.
I kept being like, "Someone's gonna catch us.
"They're gonna get mad."
- I don't know if I should go up high.
- [Kristin] Wait, oh wait.
- Hey guys.
How's it goin?
We're in the wedding.
Oh no, we're shopping for wedding stuff.
(laughing) - Trying to--
- [Female] You're not doing a video or something?
- Just taking a picture for the wedding stuff.
- [Female] Oh okay, I just wanted to look through here.
- [Freddie] Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
- It was really funny because we started,
we walked into the craft store,
and found the fake flower section.
Then a customer came up,
and asked us a question.
Just basically like,
"Hey, can I sneak by you?"
It freaked us all out.
We were like, "Oh shoot!"
- There's a woman who decided to go
right into the aisle that
we were doing our photo shoot in
to browse, how dare her.
- I went off on my own,
cause I thought if we split up,
we're more likely to get the mission done.
- We lost her.
- Okay, so I split up from everyone else,
so that I could try to find my own places,
because there are a lot of people here.
- That's honestly all the conflict we got.
Sorry to ramp up your expectations,
as if we're gonna get kicked out.
We didn't get kicked out.
We're good girls, okay?
(upbeat jazzy music)
- I think we got some stuff.
- That was a really stressful shoot.
That was probably the most stressful shoot
I've done at BuzzFeed.
- 15 minutes, in and out.
- That was stressful.
I was stressed.
- We would not have gotten arrested.
- But there's a first time - Which is worst
case scenario. - For everything.
- I don't think I felt any threat
of any type of arrest,
or getting in any kind of trouble.
No one gave a shit.
- I love it that we were pretending
in front of just another customer.
- It wasn't in front of an employee.
- I know that's the other thing,
I was like, "Why are we pretending so hard?"
in front of this customer?
This customer doesn't give a shit.
- That was some of the worst wedding
decoration shopping pretending I've ever seen.
- What are you talking about,
I thought those grapes were great?
- Devin picks up these grapes and is like,
"These grapes would be a great centerpiece."
I was like, "Yeah, these grapes
"would be a great centerpiece,"
said the woman under 50.
- Whatever, I stand by it.
All right, so I'm gonna look at my pic.
Oh my God.
I look like Mother Earth is just giving birth to me.
This is a full on perfume ad.
- I love this photo.
I think you look great in this photo.
- [Devin] It looks like I'm modeling
for a perfume called Flower Pussy.
- (laughing) I don't know if that's where I went.
I think I went somewhere wholesome.
- Oh, okay!
I look like a beautiful garden nymph.
- Okay Fred, this is insane.
She looks like a princess.
She looks like legit royalty.
- There looks like there's legit sunlight
peeking from the corner,
which is impressive,
because we were definitely under fluorescents.
- (laughing) Look how cute it is!
Actually, this is really cute.
This is really sweet.
- Kristin's, she looks like a beautiful flower baby!
- I think you can definitely tell
I'm in a craft store.
We found this hat.
I don't know where it came from.
This is the hat.
- Kristin!
You did it, Kristin.
- I'm really glad we found one,
cause I feel like I saw a lot of them
where it was me holding a fake flower and being like...
- Most of the faces that Kristin made were very stressful.
This photo, however, we caught a good one.
Kristin, we got one.
(laughing)
- I thought I was doing
a subtle seductive face,
but really I was making like,
holy shit, are we done taking these photos?
- Who knew that you could just plant yourself
in front of plastic flowers,
tilt your chin up a bit and get a good pic?
- You don't need a whole production team
to produce a beautiful photo.
You just need your beautiful face,
and a craft store down the street.
- Craft Store Instagram Photo Challenge.
- Lady tested, lady goin' on the gram.
- Honestly, I feel like if you'd given me 15 more minutes,
I would have given you at least
5 more sour puss looking faces.
- [Freddie] Well, we missed out.
(jazzy music)
