It’s probably easier to just poke out people’s eyes and then tell them I’m good-looking. ---

Hiding your natural beauty is not a good idea, ladies! Why limit your dating pool only to people who’ll love you for yourself? (that’s a rhetorical question and not a rhetorical question) ---

She hardly blinks in this video. Once you notice it, it’s pretty creepy. ---

Well, um. . . I think her hair looks really nice at the end, good for it or not. ---

If you like that “Hi, I’m wearing hay on my head, and I haven’t touched it up in about 3 months!” look. ---

I like it better than the frizzy I haven’t brushed or washed my hair in a week look. It looks healthier to me at the end than it does at the beginning (smoother, shinier, less dried out). ---

The funny thing is that it seems people here think this is a dorky girl mocking overdone prissy girls. If you follow the link on her Youtube to her Facebook, you’ll see that she’s actually an overdone prissy girl mocking what dorks think of overdone prissy girls. If you were to go her Facebook, you’d see photos of her in her underwear like [this](http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs168.snc3/19558_313758924927_311917224927_3363914_462936_n.jpg) or [this](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs268.ash1/19558_313759034927_311917224927_3363929_4554149_n.jpg). Or you see that her job of choice is, in fact, gogo dancer: [here](http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs168.snc3/19558_313824929927_311917224927_3364086_6649141_n.jpg) and [here](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs168.snc3/19558_313824744927_311917224927_3364061_5069734_n.jpg). So, I think the message to take away from her video is: be yourself. Over doing it one way or the other might be bad, but there ya go. ---

Hiding your natural beauty is not a good idea, ladies! So true! It’s sad how many women think that the more time they spend making themselves up in the mirror, the prettier they are. Sure, spend a little time touching up, maybe a little highlighting of your best features, sure. But hours of straightening, fake eyelashes, layers of eye make-up, etc.? Overboard. ---
