Hi guys
Hello
So, we thought we'd just do a little fun video
Where we look at some interesting childhood photos
This is mainly to comment on the fact that we were quite different as children
Also, you did once say in a video that you wouldn't have been my friend
When I was little
Well, probably not no, because I was a tomboy
You have no idea how much I fancied the girls who wanted to be tomboys
yeah, but you wouldn't have wanted to play
I would have followed you everywhere though
I would have written your name down in my notebook
Okay
Well, this is my first one,
And this photo is very special to me
Aww, that's cute
because I'm wearing a matching dress with my nanna
And you're also trying to eat it
yeah, I'm trying to eat her dress
but it's so cute!
That look's kind of like your Nana's saying, okay, Jessie, this is how you sit down and pray
And you're like, yeah
Eat you, I'm gonna eat your dress!
Yeah, I was a bit of a chubster, as we can see
I think I ate pretty much everything
Oh my gosh, you can actually, look at my hand, look at my arm
it looks like you've got a buldging deltoid. It's like the biggest muscly arm you ever had
Oh my gosh, how fat, jesus!
It might look like i'm wearing a bracelet, I'm not, that's my fat roll
I love it when their hands just come out of their little chubby arms
yeah, it's so cute
I was the biggest child
That is a really sweet photo
Thank you
It sums you up as a person I think in that
Oh, sorry, I mean just in the sense that it's like, you know, floral garden and like English
and love of family and you're just really cute
And you're wearing a little dress with a big like skirt and you're bald
This is me, which was quite stereotypically my face in pretty much all the photos when I'm a baby
I feel so sorry for your parents
I just like, one grumpy little kid
And that's my sister
Who's really fascinated in the camera case right there
But, yeah, every family photo that you both have, is basically of your face like grrrr
apparently I had a bit of a, is it a stigmatism or something?
I was slightly cross eyed
So, that's why I'm always frowning
Because I think, I just couldn't see very well
You still do that
I've come into the bedroom at night and you're staring at your phone like
that's really sweet, look at my little dungarees,
I love a baby in dungarees
I do, and I love that your mother has colour-coded your dungarees
I like when you look at yourself at this age, you can't really get embarassed because you don't really remember it and
obviously, like none of that was your choice, and you were just cute, like, it's like yeah!!
As you get older you're like, oh yeah, I do remember choosing that top
Moving on from like Jessie as a pretty frilly little girl,
Well, to be fair, in this photo I'm still fat
but I am now a boy
yeah
with like a little mohican
yep
I'm a boy with a mohican, I think this was when my mother realised that she had to dress me in girl's clothes
in really frilly girl's clothes
Otherwise, people were like' awww, your son is so adorable'
Is his father chinese?
You really do look like a boy
I look more like a boy than even my brother did
This is me
I think i'm like, oh, it says summer '89
on the back, because my mum always wrote everything, which is good
I look pretty cool actually, I really like my really eighties t-shirt
my little tucked in, im really like belly
My t-shirts holding in my belly
You do have quite a belly
Still frowning
Still frowning, yeah
Look, we were like such a team. `I've got my spade look, I'm like, I've dug up these pebbles
and Julia's like I shall put them in my top.
Awww
And again in pink
To be fair, if I wasn't in pink, I could probably pass as a boy in that one
You see, I think in both photos so far, your mother has been like, mmmn
I think people will mistake this child, let me dress it in pink
And everyone will know it's a her
My mum was like, let's play with some gender
Again, as I said, my mother then quickly realised, oh dear, we must dress Jessica as a child or people will be very confused
dress Jessica as a child?
As opposed to what? A dog?
No, we must dress Jessica as a girl
God, this hair is terrible
this haircut is horrific
Look, you've got natural highlights and lowlights
Yes, I've got really weird stripey highlights as a child
like, they're just really, yeah
Also my hair naturally, I don't have a parting, it just grows from the centre of my head all the way round
And my parents thought the best thing to do with this was just to literally, chop across the front
Yeah, it's sweet, I think
Well, as I got a bit older, I started to embrace my erm...
sort of my natural instincts to want to be a bit more tomboyish
I love this picture
I like this photo, yeah, I look pretty cool
You are, you are looking good
Look at you, you're so hot
I say from the perspective of child me, obviously, not right now
You're still hot now.
I'm at my confident age, I was like, yeah, I know who I am, I'm six, I know everything about the world
I have to say, as a little girl I would have.... pffff
you would have been everything
Seriously. Biggest crush, ever
Would have happened if I'd met you
Awwww
We're completely different
You can see why
This girl.
Where is it?
You can see why these two
You wouldn't have been my friend?
I might have been
I did have some girlie friends who I sort of like, kind of looked after
You know like, are you okay?
Why are you crying?
So, yeah I went through that kind of like, almost, like yeah, I'm cool, cool child
Yeah, so whilst you're having your cool child moment
I was having this moment
I know what you're thinking, Jessica, you still dress like this
yeah, er yeah I do
Also, is that your cousin?
... err, no
That is just a girl who I was friends with
Okay, I'll hold your hand, strange girl
That's harsh! We were friends
Don't make assumptions
You don' even remember if that is a boy or a girl, couldn't have been that much of a friend
At that age you would not have been like that.
I need to put a smock, to protect my clothes Mother.
I think that the straw boater might be my idea though
Yeah, that's quite sweet
I think I look ruddy adorable
Although the kid in the background is throwing some shade, she's like
And yeah, look at her arm
I think as all children in the 90s, I think went through a bit of an awkward stage, luckily in this photo
My sister kind of completely overshadows me in her ultra nineties look there
Yeah, again, so sorry Julia
So sorry that you've been dragged into this
What are those glasses?
They were all the rage in the nineties
Have you not seen Clueless?
Could you recreate that face for us please Claudia?
I do that face quite a lot still today
I don't now why I'm crosseyed there
it looks like I am
I think it's formal sportswear, I'm wearing a skirt, I would have hardly ever worn a skirt
At that age
So Mum must have worked really hard to get me anything that was at least a little bit more err...
I know we couldn't find a photo of it
My Puma shorts, they were men's cycling shorts,
I had them inerm, green, and in blue
And obviously they were meant to be tight lycra like cycling shorts
but they were like baggy, three quarter length
Me, a bit older, one of my favourite things to do was dress up
As if my normal clothing wasn't dressed up enough
but this phot is actually very significant
again for the other person in it
drag the siblings into this!
Sorry,
Erm, i begged my mother for a sister
She did not provide, she gave me a brother
Instead
So I decided, n o he's a girl now
And I used to dress him up in skirts constantly
I love that he's wearing his little slippers
yeah
It's like he's just woken up from bed and your just like '
right put this on now
You're a girl now
I'm gonna wear this
And your gonna wear this like whatever ... what the hell is that?
It looks like some disco diva
I wore that to my first ever disco
Oh yeah, see
RIght, this last one is actuallyquite embarrassing
IN my defence, before I show it, i was, we were playing dress up
I was being ken
like Barbie Ken
What is Ken's surname?
Oh I don't know. But, Barbie has a middle name and it's Millicent
really? I did not know that
Oooh, what a looker
you look weirdly like
I'm getting really into the part there
I think actually I remember feeling like, really quite cool
Girls should be given the full range of options
Well, I obviously stopped dressing like a man
Actually, you are dressed like the curtains
I know
Blending with the curtains there
I think that was the fashion in the late nineties
Also you can skateboard
I couldn't really
I've seen you skateboard okay. It was one of the most attractive things you've ever done
She came into my cosins kitchen skateboarding and erm she just went backwards and forwards in the kitchen and I was stood there
We learnty that I am still inspired by vintage fashions
Uhum
You still enjoy
And you look the best dressed in women's clothes than men's clothes
Yes
I was coolest when i was about six at Dartmoor
I think you're really cool now. What are you talking about?
Maybe if you'd been my friend when we were like younger, I would have been like oh, yeah, I'm gay!!!
rather than waiting for another like twenty years
Hey, I'm six and I am a lesbian
I don't think I would have known what that was
I would have explained
It's alright darling, we are wife and wife now
you don't have to pretend like we would have been dating from the age of six to justify our love any more than it is
Fair enough fair enough
that doesn't even make sense
Okay, give us a like if you like thisvideo
And let us know in the comments which you thought the best photo was
Of that little set
Clearly, the one of me looking like a boy
