I Got An 18th Century Makeover
Переглядів 3,880,316
2 роки томуFinally, the video we've all been waiting for... the one where I get to return to Colonial Williamsburg after ~20 years!! As some of you guys might know, I bring up Colonial Williamsburg *a lot*, as it left a big impression on me as a child - so we decided to make the trip to the historical town of Williamsburg, VA to get an 18th century makeover (hair, makeup, and outfit!) and explore their living history museum, in costume. A big thank you to Abby Cox & Nicole Rudolph for helping out with our final look, and thank you to Colonial Williamsburg for inviting us!

I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take on a re-enactment role of an enslaved person. The history needs to be remembered though and the culture that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these people that take on these roles.
@michaelajordan4189 Рік тому
It's less of a burden to take on and more of an honor to show the strength of the people in that time. That way we can understand and appreciate the strength that we have now. A whole culture of people lived and worked and created families in a time that they were demeaned and abused. And then survived, and inspired movements and laws to change and colored people in our government. My mother played the first educated slave in a reenactment museum like this and there was so much power in the lessons that she taught people. How in America, even now, you can do anything.
@chocotoasties2671 Рік тому
@@michaelajordan4189 Nah it can definitely be a burden. Some guests are disrespectful and use the reenactment opportunity to be rude and dehumanize slave and working class reenactors.
@michaelajordan4189 Рік тому
@chocotasties that's true, but people are ignorant everywhere about everything. Teachers get made fun of, but they still know they have a job to do. I would rather people be educated and rude then uneducated and oblivious because at least if they know then there's no other reason for them being rude then them just being a disrespectful person. And I promise you most actors like myself and my family, don't care about the opinions of ignorant people

Just a neat little thing I’d love to mention! As someone who’s worked at the Renaissance Festival before, we have a somewhat very similar way of running things! No modern words, many hot layers, and no modern technologies or inventions in sight (my cloak helped with hiding SO much “contraband”!). Everything is just in the Elizabethan period, so just a hundred or two hundred years older than Colonial Williamsburg! It’s such a fun place to work and everything that happens between the cast is always story-worthy! You should totally make a video on visiting a Renaissance Festival sometime soon!

@@totesmegoatscrystal9688 You can't tell facts in today's society. Just like you can't point out that every race has enslaved (including black people, as Africa was enslaving its own people long before anyone else did, and they're the ones who sold/traded their own people to others), and every race has been enslaved (including white people). You can't point out how Native Americans suffered way worse in the US than other races, you can't point out how every race has racists in it and every race can experience racism. People refuse to acknowledge any history that shows that white people aren't the only ones to commit atrocities and have suffered atrocities themselves. We should of course acknowledge the horrible things that have happened throughout history, but all of it should be acknowledged and taught, not just specific areas.
@thepinkestpigglet7529 Рік тому
@@englishatheart OK so this is a out peeve and I don't want to get deep into politics but African slavery was really different than American slavery. In African slavery slaves could make their own money and buy their freedom, and often if you were a slave it was because of debts you owed and could hopefully one day pay off. And historically everyone was a slave, or at least there were a few people who felt they owned everyone else. Mideveal Europen lords taking your taxes and your crops was nothing like what America did. Slavery is always wrong, but what old Americans did was not the usual sort of wrong.

Oh my goodness! When our children were young, we took them to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown several times. (I taught them history during those years using the American Girls books and resources as part of our curriculum!) Cutest thing was that my eldest were about nine years old- boy/girl twins. She wore the Felicity costume during our touring day(s) and he enthusiastically joined in on the “Felicity’s Tour”. We were with another brother/sister pair of similar age, and while the other boy was hanging back in embarrassment, our son joined in on the sewing of a pin cushion, learning to dance 18th century dances, and taking tea. When touring, our guide asked us why there were ladders leaning on the houses. History son (who had been listening to the Felicity books) said, “because they needed to be able to stop fires that a chimney’s spark might drop onto the thatched roof!” He surprised us all and made such a fun memory for me. He’s all-guy- ex Minor League Baseball player, but still loves to learn. And sister? She’s now teaching 2nd grade- the age she was when being taught and touring Williamsburg, VA. Thank you for letting me share and for bringing up these wonderful memories!

My parents were professional colonial re-enactors and this brought back sooo many memories! From the age of 3-13 I would go with them to all sorts of locations around the US and Canada. We made all our own clothes, using authentic patterns and materials, and being that I was a kid when they started, I got to experience a wide range of outfits from little girl style to the more grown-up garments that a teenager would have worn. When we were doing a show, we would literally camp out in the exact style of tents that they would have used during the American revolution, and we would cook on an open hearth outside, making recipes from the times. (They’re actually pretty tasty!) We camped out at Williamsburg several times and I remember our tent was right in that green you showed in this video! Such good times. Also, yes my dad is a history buff and he absolutely had a Gettysburg phase when I was a late teenager/in college! We used to go every summer!

I think that this is my favorite video you’ve ever done. I grew up in Williamsburg, and was a junior interpreter at Colonial Williamsburg for three years (junior interpreters are middle and high school age volunteers and the application process is intense). This was such a blast from the past for me! The last time I saw the inside of the costume warehouse was when I turned in my costume three days before I moved away. My 7th grade history teacher used to be the blacksmith. I used to carry all my contraband in my folded up apron, and my mom and I used to stop in that Wawa on our way home! This video was so much fun for me. A few differences in experience: my shoes for my costume were a similar design, but leather, not wool. My costume was meant to be a poorer person than your costume because of the house I worked in, so I didn’t have to wear stays or petticoats, just a cotton shirt that went over my shift and a cotton or wool skirt depending on season. They didn’t make us pomade our hair (thank god) and the break room was stocked with Gatorade (or hot chocolate, depending on the season) to pour in our official-issue colonial mugs and some pretty unhealthy snacks. It was such a fun experience for me that I’m so grateful for, and I’m glad you had such a good time too!!

You are so funny and eclectic in the best of ways. Seeing you and Tyler together is beautiful, you two are so made for each other. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I'm close to 60 in age, so I might not be typical, but who knows, of most of your subscribers. You just make my day.

@katherinemorelle7115 2 роки тому
It's one of the reasons I love dress history so much- it really shows just how interconnected everything is. Like, the growing popularity of cotton and how that was die to both slavery in the US and the British occupation of India and stealing how to process cotton form Indians (and then sometimes breaking their thumbs so they wouldn't have the competition from the skilled Indian artisans). But that is what led to the increased use of cotton at the end of the 18th century, and to it now being the most common of the natural fibres (even though it's also the worst of the natural fibres). I find that with looking into dress history, you can see how it all comes together into whatever the fashion of the time was. And also how fashion itself shaped geopolitics, and how one fashion trend leads to another. It's a fascinating subject! Though admittedly, I'm biased. It's also much more hands on and much less "great man theory" than a lot of other areas of historical study. You get a feel for what the average person felt, ad you feel a lot closer to them, because you're wearing what they wore, feeling the same sort of support and structure, moving the same way they moved. Memorising Generals and troop movements has nothing on dress history, imo

Most things people think of as corsets in historical fashion (including corsets) were actually made to support the bust--they were essentially what women wore before bras came along. So, yes, they were sturdy, foundational garments, but not always meant to squish waists.

Her great uncle was in the United States and sent back fabric and a pattern so she could take it to a tailor to get it stitched. (Which was common for a lot of Indians who wore American/European clothing at the time. My grandmother did the same thing but she got her patterns from family in Australia)
