I would like to take this opportunity to talk about two things surrounding my recent YouTube blogs.
As some of you may know or not know, depending on how much you like to deal with my twitter account, I have started doing a YouTube blog involving clothes hauls.
The reasons for this are vast. They've been my guilty pleasure for a while, as when I'm bored I like nothing more than to watch them in bed. I also think that they actually do have meaning. Whilst most weeks I have barely any money, it's nice to indulge yourself in seeing things others have bought and appreciating it. I also think it's a great word of mouth for the businesses involved. For example, in a handful of my videos, I mentions websites or shops which are hidden gems to me as far as clothing goes, and what girl doesn't want to show off their new finds. I also think it's a fantastic way to use the advantages of YouTube in a positive way. People from America, Ireland, Scotland, England and even Australia are sharing fashion tips. To me, that is what the internet should be about. Not used in the way it is now, with cyber bullying and explicit videos of stuff people really would rather not see on their social networking news feed.
I also think it's actually helped me gain some confidence. If I can sit in front of a webcam and chat for ten minutes about my new dresses, then I can pretty much anything on a stage. So to those who feel mine or anyone else's videos are useless and time wasting, you're wrong. And perhaps maybe instead of criticising, you should turn around and make your own videos. Add your fingerprint onto YouTube instead of demeaning others. And if you still don't want to, then don't watch. It's that simple really.
But less of this negativity, if you do want to see me chat about clothes, here's a link to my channel.
There is also several trailers for student films I have been a part of in my favourites. Jus' sayin'.
