[Intro Music]
S: Hello friends and welcome to another video.
S: Today I'm here with Cristine from SimplyNailogical
C: Hello friends
S: And we are going to be doing something that I've wanted to do for a long time
S: But I could not do without Cristine
S: So, if you don't know Cristine or her channel, she's pretty much the queen of holo
S: And if you don't know h💿l💿, it's short for holographic
S: Not the projections, I'm talking beautiful shifting rainbow pigments
S: And if these shiny rainbows make ya feel kinda gooey inside, you may be what Cristine calls a holosexual
S: I think I'm a little bit holosexual myself, and holographic things are everywhere right now
S: From Cristine's nails, to runways, to clothes on celebrity's bodies
S: And because I'm absolutely terrible at painting my nails,
S: Today we're going to be wearing head to toe h💿l💿 for a day (C: Yess)💿💿💿
S: One might even call it a h💿l💿transformation
C: Or a h💿l💿day
S: So I went out and got two bodies' worth of clothing, and here it is
C: *gasp*
C: Oh mai gad
S: I hope I did it right...I dunno
C: What is this?! Is this a holo space-suit? Oh my god it is!
C: Is this a tablecloth? Oh it's a skirt
C: OHMYGOD (S: Here have this hat)
C: I wanna wear it! I need to put it on!
C: GET IT ON MY BODY
C: Ooooh, I'm a h💿l💿 mountain!
S: How do you feel? C: I feel really good right now.
S: Do you feel a little aroused?
C: *Laughs* You wanna join?
S: So I think we should get...dressed, and see what we've got.
S: And then we'll venture out and see what the people of LA think of our head-to-toe h💿l💿 look.
S: Alright. Lets do it. C: Lets go friends.
Tyler: Are you guys ready?
S (distant): Yeahhh
S: I feel like when I watch your videos, I AM a holosexual
S: Like I'm like: Oh YES (C: Mhm, Yeah!)
S: But I don't wear a lot of it
C: We're gonna change that.
S: *gasps*
S: Ohmaigod!
C: Oh, gurl (S: WOW!)
S: How do you think people are gonna react?
C: They're gonna wanna be my friend immediately
S: Those pants are amazing! C: Wanna touch em?
S: Yes. C: We already gettin' holosexualll
S: It--I'm like kinda like a...a little baby (C: It's nice and smooothh)
S: Like I have a--little bowties and my little bucket hat C: Look at your head!
S: And my little dress, I'm ready to go to school
S: I was thinking maybe people would think we're street performers
C: We might turn a lot of people on
S: Okay, so before we head out into the world, I do have a little bit of a finishing touch
C: You mean holo makeup!?
S: Yeah, just put it on the face--Just *Wshew sound effect*
C: Put it on mai face! C: I'm getting way more than I needed
Tyler: She's makin' it rain.
C: Oh shit! S: Nowww we mean business!
C: I call this: take-your-holo-to-work day
S: I wonder if we should treat today as just like a two-woman arousal caravan
S: Spreading more of the message C: It kinda stings...is that bad?
S: Mm...I'm putting a little bit extra C: Oh it's on my teeth now, that's--good play, Cristine
C: What if we get like a holo van and just kidnap people
S: Did I do too much? C: You should put this on your legs.
C: This is head to toe holo, remember.
C: So...get down there, girl
S: Oh! C: Oooooh, yeah.
C: That's better than Jergen's body glow.
S: So whad do ya think?
*Overlays Cristine's childhood commercial "Whad do ya think?"*
C: I think we did good!
S: It's very hot outside, um.
S: Do you think this holo reflect the sun or does it absorb it
C: It reflects the sun
But I think usually the material underneath is quite thick so we might sweat to death
S: We'll die happy C: On my deathbed
That's exactly what I want to be wearing, so I'm good
S: So our first destination bringing holo to the world was Starbucks. So Christine, when did you first discover your love of holo?
C: You know, that's a tough question. What is... I always knew. S: You always knew? C: I always knew
You know, I didn't know what it was called. I didn't know why
S: Our outfits were mostly ignored at Starbucks, so we wanted to get other people's opinions on our holo fashion
S: Holo! C: Holo there!
S: And then we got to asking some questions
C: What's it called?
C: Yeeeah S: When you see the rainbows. What does it make you feel?
Yes!
Once you touch her legs though, everything changes
C: Touch it!
Can I? C: Yeah
*gasps* whoooooa! Can I try?
Ooooh, this is innapropriate.
C: Yes, No
I think for the most part people have been liking it or seeming like happy or excited. You know?
They smile
Yeah, it seems like mostly
-they kinda just smile
I think we're you know ransoms some-something's
C: They're interested
S: Now one development was that some people actually thought that we were street performers
There was a guy who was um like a guy who worked for like the tourism Department of Santa Monica
It seemed like. It looked like he thought that we were actually street performers and we needed a permit
and then after we explained that we were not actually street performers
Then he switched to are you tourists and do you need a map. Either people think there we're street performers
Or that we are just very lost. C: Or that we're from another country where there's a whole other type of fashion going on
S: Well you are from another country
C: Oh... Good point.
S: So we gave it a shot. We tried the whole chrome tinman statue thing and just stood still for a while
Tyler: So you're just gonna stand there S: -but it didn't really work out for us
So after getting some modern on the street opinions about our outfits
I was curious to know a little bit more about the history of holographics fashion
When do you first see holo? Do you remember?
C: Probably like six years old and it was in my mother's wardrobe flashy scrunchy ...I making that up
S: Awakened something inside-oh you... that's not true C: That's not true
S: From what I can tell, I don't think holo has ever been as mainstream as it is now
but rainbow holographics have been worn for a very long time in jewelry and holographic clothes date back to the
1960s as interest in futuristic clothing prompted designers to try using non cloth materials such as
holographic discs clear plastic and metals for concept clothing
Awesome!
S: Not to mention it was also the late sixties where summer of love
Psychedelic and rainbow imagery were everywhere. Plastic clothes and rainbows, it feels like a match made in heaven.
Since the 60s holo has kind of stuck around. It was a part of the disco pitch scene in the 70s
Where wearing the loudest outfit was at a premium and in fact the more you looked like the disco ball the better
The holo aesthetics popped up again in the 80s
parallel to the invetion of the CD-rom
Once again picking up its role from the late 60s as a symbol of the future and of technology. This connotation
carried through into the 90s was clothes accessories
Makeup and lots of body glitter as the turn of the millennium peach new interest into the future. One of the most iconic
90s holo moments for me was Zenon girl of the 21st century's earring, where it was like the secret to all of the ships codes
And it was a little CD. C: Well the CD emoji is the holosexual emoji. You think CDS are outdated?
You wrong. S: they're more relevant than ever C: Not for listening, but just for your visual consumption pleasure
S: So I guess that's all to say that holo fashion has roots in bling futurism and psychedelics
We've been walking around a lot today. Yeah
C: *sighs*
*groans*
S: It's exhausting being a
Human piece of holo but I think overall I think we are
brightening up... Both: people's days C: yeah, with rainbows
I think we made their day a little brighter and they smiled and I had a funny story to tell at dinner
S: Where they're like 'I saw crazy people today' Okay, so now we're going to go get some dinner cause we worked up a holo appetite
C: We don't need dessert. We are dessert
Or we could get cheesecake
Yeah let's get cheesecake.
Yeah
So we went to the cheesecake factory
Ate some cheesecake and then had some fun times in the bathroom. Once the sun sets the holo does lose a bit of luster
But if you turn on your high beams you can get the party back again.
*Tyler and Ben laughing in the car*
Ben: Good it works
S: Well, I think overall we were pretty well-received today like I think most people smiled
I think actually people liked it better when we weren't talking to them like I feel like-
C: Yeah, that's what people tell me normally, like 'just stop talking'
S: It is a little bit like we are Elvis impersonators
C: Well it's like they're not sure what kind of impersonators we are. S: Yeah, they're like they're doing something and I don't know what it is
C: I just wanted my my outsides match my inside because I'm holo inside.
S: Sounds like you're empty inside when you say it like that
C: That's the point S: oh it's- oh
C: Safiya!
S: Nooo! ...But I feel like you know whether or not like LA and Santa Monica
Were ready for us to bring them this holo. C: We brought the holo. S: Yeah
We did C: We brought it all. Can I keep this though? I know you got this
S: Yes, of course! C: It's because I sweat like all over this. S: Well that's the number one reason
Why you should keep it. My neck is sweaty too. Is your neck sweaty? C: My body is sweaty
I feel like a lot of this holo clothing is like pretty plastic. Thank you for doing this with me Cristine.
C: Thank you for doing this with me Safiya.
S: I'm sorry that you sweat so much today, but... C: Same goes to. We both smell. We should probably shower.
S: We should probably end this video.
C: That too.
S: Thank you guys so much for watching. Make sure to check out our collab that we filmed on Cristine's channel which explains why our nails
Are not holo but you know C: shame S: It wasn't head to fingertip, it was head to toe and the toes are holo so there you go
