If you're in the UK, this is probably especially relevant, but even if not, there are new guidelines for UK YouTubers and brands wishing to do that whole advertising thing.
So I decided to go through the new guidelines in a video.
Because I'm cool and hip like that. :)
2015-09-23 10:37:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo we have reached our next milestone, which is $666, and a review of Good Omens.
I started working on the script last week, and the episode will definitely be out before the end of the year, but I want your input, fellow GO lovers:
What do you love about Good Omens? Why do you think it's th...

So...CAN one shame a fictional character for her attire?
Let's talk about agency, and practicality, and chafing.
Ware butt shots.

Well. Sort of. Here, in three parts, is all that stuff I really wanted to say about Attack of the Clones and...That Love Story, a bunch of things about body language, chemistry, Han and Leia, and...things.
I had a lot of fun making this one, if only for the venting it afforded. :)

I am ON FIRE the last couple of days! Here's my video for #WomenOnYouTube day, which is the first Monday of the month, where we watch women. On YouTube.
It is reasonably self-explanatory. :)

In which I get my Old Granny Hat on and talk about fashion trends which objectify kids.
Because the question shouldn't be, 'Why would you buy shorts that show off your butt cheeks?'
The more important question is, 'Why would you sell shorts (TO MINORS) that show off the...

2015-08-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostJill, where have you BEEN?
VidCon! And subsequently: sleeping off the jet lag! Caused by getting home from VidCon!
Seriously, I got home three days ago, and I only just now feel like a human being. I had serious trouble doing simple arithmetic.

Ahhhh yes, I know, way after it went up on YouTube, but I have been travelling for VidCon (so cool) and so haven't actually been on a real computer since...um...the 17th of July.
Yes, I was suffering a teensy bit of withdrawal.
Nonetheless! Pride and Prejudice! Keira Kn...

Bad Science is one of my very favourite non-fiction books, and it always cheers me up.
That said, I'm pretty sure this video is going to add:

OK then. Let's get specific about this whole 'traitor' thing. Because really, it did annoy me more than a stupid movie should.

YAY! It's been quite a while in the making, but we've for it now. Revenge of the Sith made me absolutely RIDICULOUSLY angry in the cinema. But at least now I remember why. Still, there are good bits in the film. We're not going to talk about them much here, though.

Next week's episode is a relative shortie on The Lion King, and this is my title card, which was drawn for me by Josh Lanning. (Basically, if there's art in my title card, it was him; if it's my face and bad photo editing, it's me.)

So might have to take a rain check on that one. But still, here is an MP3 of Reflection which you can download if you want it! :D (Also: $448! I am a happy happy person)
