"You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches"-Dita Von Teese
A quote to live by: “It’s really not that hard to not be a dick.”
"who needs a thousand metaphors to realize you shouldn't be a dick" - Bo Burnham
I don't think it's possible to word that phrase better. I love Rachel for saying it!
"let girls have underarm hair" rachel maksy, a queen for the peoples, 2021
ie: you talking about giving away costumes, you could also try donating them to your local community theaters! Most have really small costuming budgets, and trust me, can find use of even the "weirdest" things
I know you probably weren't thinking about it, but that's also a great idea for the fabrics that sit in my stash because I don't know what to do with them! Thank you!
omg this is such a better idea!!! Either a community theater or a highschool theater!!
I feel like Rachel can just breathe and all of us fans are like “YAS THIS IS THE BEST CONTENT, MORE PLS”
Honestly yes. I would happily watch her putter around the house and clean, and I still would be like, “ah yes, chef’s kiss.”
“It’s really not that hard to not be a dick!” Can we make this the official slogan of 2021? Lol
I was just going to comment the exact same thing! It's so much easier to just not be a dick to people.
This is probably the most authentic thing I've ever seen on UA-cam. As always, you are a breath of fresh air!
*Her mentioning giving away old costumes and me immediately thinking about her Joan of Arc costume* .... ✨ s n a t c h ✨
Video: *starts*
Rachel: *plops face down on the sofa*
Me: *hits like button*
Rachel's Imposter Syndrome: They all hate you...
My husband, seeing Rachel-potato-hates-exercise: Hey, it's your twin, honey!
Yeah... you're awesome and you legit make my life better by existing.
I love morbid! I listen to it every night before bed. The weepy voiced killer was the freakin worst.
I wake up before everyone else in the house, so I have some quiet me-time and listen to Morbid. 🖤
Oh my, Rachel AND Micarah are Morbid fans, my two favourite sewing UA-camrs love my favourite podcast. 🖤
"Meeting the ladies" was the highlight for me!! Some may even say they were - the stars of the show! 🤣🤣
You should see if a local theater company would want your costumes! Or even a high school theater club, I'm sure they'd be thrilled
Oh yeah, wow, imagine getting a heap of awesome costumes as a high school theatre club!! 😍 What a dream!
My highschool always borrowed from the community college nearby, so we never got to keep any of the actually good stuff 😩
Plus, a lot of her clothes can work well for period pieces! I’ve been in stuff like the Crucible and Fiddler on the Roof, and clothes that can look “historically ambiguous,” where they could easily fit a multitude of time periods, are really useful to theater companies.
I am not a fan of Imposter Rachel, but I am a BIG fan of Imposter Rachel's cape 🌻Giving me evil Kermit vibes
In regards to sewing:
Micarah Tewers - Chaotic Good
Rachel Maksy - Neutral Good
Bernadette Banner - Lawful Good
Well damn this makes me want to start a sewing channel where I sew FOR EVIL! BWAHAHA
If you don’t have a specific person in mind already for the dresses you don’t think you’ll wear again, there are charities that give dresses people don’t have a use for anymore to people as prom or wedding dresses. This dress would make an incredible prom dress
And if a particular dress isn’t appropriate for that purpose, why not auction off for charity?
I agree. It would be an awesome prom dress. There might even be a bride or bridesmaid out there who would love it.
There's also a lot of organizations that take clothes for transgender teens! Upon transitioning, I donated all of my feminine formal clothing, including a couple vintage dresses that I wish I still had to turn into other garments. That's on me tho
And I’m sure local high school theater departments would welcome any donation of costumes for their productions. I used to sew (until my sewing machine and I broke up because we couldn’t play together nicely) and did sewing for the high school I worked at during my sewing days for their musicals. And despite the flaws I blatantly saw and the use of hot glue where needed, they loved them! (Not in anyway boasting of my abilities, remember I don’t talk to my sewing machines anymore...😒) And to finish off, you are amazing, so don’t let anyone tell you differently! Hold your head high and keep doing the great job you’re doing!
Am I the only one to think this dress looks like something Hera (the Greek goddess) would wear? I mean, it has the gold, the stars, the peacock color and the dramatic train... I love it!
“Once drop kicked someone in a mosh pit”
“Once got drop kicked in a mosh pit”
Rachel: I have a thing for men in masks
COVID-19: *exists*
Rachel: *sharp inhale*
Why did “and make space mom proud” almost make me cry????
I thought about Carrie Fisher a lot last year. I'll probably keep thinking of her a lot this year as well the way things are going.
“For no particular reason...two weeks late,” is SUCH a 2021 mood.
I'm an old lady and we're required to give unsolicited life advice... You, my dear, are freaking rocking it out the park. You have been rocking it out the park all year. Use your own yardstick to measure your success. No one else's yardsticks matter.
You know what I'd love to see her make? Cinderella's pink dress, the one the mice made for her
Rachel: Hospital visits dressed as characters-
Me: Stop. I’m in. I want whole vlogs of that.
I will need to get myself into a hospital then... In the US... Hopefully my European insurance covers a very necessary trip to the states
Rachel honestly I would be so happy to hear about all the “boring” things you have to talk about. The world is bananzas right now so hearing some quiet little news that shows a small bit of joy is absolutely what I want to hear about :)
I agree with this comment! Those little "boring,ordinary things" are the things that make me smile and love your content even more!
Rachel, I love your little “mistakes”. Like when you misspeaks or something. It shows you’re imperfect, it means you’re human. Part of why I follow you is because of how real you are.
Some people in here not all make snarky remarks about Rachel and it bothers the hell out of me Rachel is honest and no fakeness
on her I do support you Rachel never give up critics are Jealous.
"panics in lizard person" and the imposter sydrome lurking around the corner made me cackle
"Potato with Purpose"
*Immediately needs on a t-shirt*
😀 Featuring now world famous mashed potato pizza 😀
Rachel: "Potato with Purpose"
... I need this on a t-shirt
Okay, but get this: Merch with the sayings: "Potato With Purpose," "But first... coffee," and most importantly: "It's really not that hard to not be a dick."
but instead of t-shirts, VINTAGE POODLE SKIRTS. You know, in cute colors from olive green to pastel pink but it says the slogans and has a little picture (like the world's best potato pizza/cup of coffee) in the bottom left front corner of the skirt.
either that or like vintage letter jackets/sweaters with the slogan on the back and cute picture on the lapell.
eeehhh??????
or like any other vintage inspire articles with the best Matsky quotes of all time. :D
I would die to have one.
Omg this is the best idea ever!!! I would buy so many!! God I need this in my life so bad 😭
She wonders why people like watching her. Well, I for one love the way her brain works. Just all of it. It makes my soul smile. I look forward to each video to see what jokes she'll crack and what weird floor troll thing she'll do next. She's relatable, real and incredibly quirky and adorable. Not to mention talented. I also love that she's imperfect and she's letting us learn along with her. It's refreshing really.
I also watch Rachel constantly I'm like glue to her I love the way she is no pretense.
RACHEL HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS IS THE PERFECT CONTENT
No need to be perfect.. That's why it's perfect.. Do you remember the (I think it was Esprit) Marketing campaign with the words "I'm perfect" "imperfect"? I think that's the clou.. (sorry for answering and not being Rachel, just my 5 pence :)..) free virtuell hugs to all you lovely people..
Dita von Teese once said, “You can be the juiciest peach in the world and someone out there will still hate peaches.” Don’t let other people’s opinions decide who you are. You are awesome and super talented. I always look forward to your videos. Keep doing you and ignore the negativity.
Perfect comment! Now, please, if Rachel would do a Dita von Teese inspired look, maybe for valentines, as a nice acknowledgment?
I genuinely laughed very hard when you were introducing the stars and tied in the mosh pit drop kick between Gina and Lucy S.
When you said you thought endorphins were a myth, I felt that in the depth of my soul. I never get a good feeling from exercise. Ever. I HATE working out.
Same. And I keep buying nice sport bras, because I believe that in new bra I'll be a whole new person. A fitness guru. 😭
Yoga counts as excessive, it’s not something that’s always fast paced but it’s still exercise while also being stretching and good for your mind. ❤️🌻
Same here. I don't get that "runner's high" and exercise is SO boring. I end up hurting all over and struggling to breathe and I just want it to be over as quickly as possible. Not even listening to music or trying to watch TV helps. 😕 I need to do it more but ugh.
So glad to hear there are at least a few other people out there in the world who feel this!! 🤦🏻♀️ Thought it was just part of having fibromyalgia (most exercise is pain, during & after) but looks like it's just a thing... 😏
Pedro Pascal said something about using a "bedroom voice" for the character, so your reaction is sensible.
We need the “2021” as a ringtone
“It’s really not that hard to not be a DICK!”😂 I love Rachel so much. She just says the most perfect things at the most perfect times, and her reference game is top notch.
This dress looks like what a wizard would wear to a party in the Wizarding world during the Fantastic Beasts times! I really like it!
Costube (aka Rachel, Bernadette, Karolina, etc.) are the only reason I’m still sane, also, the dress is amazing!!!! It gives me Luna lovegood vibes
"I have been very much potato for the past three weeks..."
Rachel, we have all been potatoes for the past year
I can never figure out how Frodo doesn't stab his lil tum when he lays on projects that already have pins in them lol I guess it's just his dedication to be where he aint supposed to be
pausing just to say that the intro to "the ladies" was perfect and hilarious.
"waiting for serotonin" made me almost choke on my coffee, 12/10 content.
If anyone points out something out of your control, let their cereal always be soggy. Watching your creations is super comfy and helped me learn a lot about creating cosplay. And winging it!
“I felt like looking like a princess... so I deed it” our ✨QUEEN✨
The "The Ladies!" Part killed me!!
I absolutely love Gina
This costume reminds me of those art nouveau fairy perfume ads from the early 20th century. The bright saturated hair with the sharp blues and gold really looks stunning on you.
She should photoshop herself in it into an Alphonse Mucha inspired poster!
Might be the wine talking but I’m dying at the imposter syndrome scene
Edit: I stopped the vid and went to sleep and holy crap this blew up!
My 2 hour old half-drunk energy drink would like to chime in with a bubbly 'affirmatron' that it is not in fact the wine talking.
Not the wine. Unless you all want to count two servings of chocolate as an equivalent.
“Waiting for serotonin” needs to be the subtitle of my memoir someday lol Here’s hoping for a good 2021 for us all!
Even New Year’s potatoes deserve ballgowns ❤️
When she said “it’s a little prom dress rn” I kinda lost it because the dress she made was exactly what I want for my prom and our theme is under the stars lmao. It is literally perfect!
Rachel: i have been quite more sensitive to bad comments on the internet
Us, loyal followers, knights for our Saweet Sewer Lady: TELL US MALADY, WE WILL PUT AN END TO THEIR MISERABLE EXISTENCE (while lighting firetorches and grabbing hayforks and gathering us all in tiktok and UA-cam)
Rachel, just remember that ‘failing’ most of your goals so wasn’t your fault - the pandemic has trashed all our lives and you have achieved SO much despite of that! You have 700,000 subscribers! We’re so proud of you 😍❤️
why were the names and descriptions for the stars so accurate... like how
Don’t Stop Me Now is THE hype song of lyfe.
I could be wrong, but I think it was voted the most motivating/happiest song
Rachel: wearing her stunning dress ✨starts flapping like a bat 🦇
Me: this is the only way to start the new year right! 💫
I always have to remind myself to NOT click away when Rachel says the goodbye, because the outtakes at the end are GOLDEN!! It's like a Marvel movie!!
Truth: A lot of us just want to hang out with you in this weird parasocial space called UA-cam, whether or not you're actually doing anything in particular.
Yes, just want to hang out with Rachel, and her best friend Tommy, and with Frodo! Especially with Frodo!
Needs to be a t-shirt: "Potato With Purpose," "But first... coffee," "It's really not that hard to not be a dick."
Dazzling ethereal goddess gown. I love blue and gold together. You can always change out the tulle wings if you aren't happy with them, or add another layer of white/light blue? Naysayers be damned!
Things I would watch the heck out of: a 7 part series of Rachel making a screen accurate Lea cosplay!
"i have a face sorta similar to carrie ficher's"
uh, darling i thought that was an actual picture of carrie
My fiancé said “you look like her, like a lot”
I was like reallllly because I think Rachel is so beautiful!
I'm freaking out over the fact that you have an on air button that alerts nick when you're filming. That's amazing 😁
"I got dressed today!" *applause*
Me: yes. So much yes.
"I wanted to dress like a princess today. So I deed it."
Me: You dressed like a princess, girl! You deserve it!
The "wait, is this inside out" is the BIGGEST crafting/sewing mood. I do that all the time, you have no idea.
*Frodo in Rachel's face*
Rachel: "Um...Can you not."
This is also me and my 7 month old australian shepherd getting in my face during yoga. 😂
I have two Maltese dogs and lemme tell you, they think they’re my personal coaches whenever the mat is out.
They think so.
I *don’t.*
I have an Australian Shepherd too (10 yrs old)... It doesn't get that much better in that department, lol
But we love them anyway
Rachel ... hint: We actually all love you!!🤗
I’m 2 minutes in and we have Rachel sitting on her couch in a robe talking about potato pizza and honestly I have never felt so connected to one person 😂😂😂 Rachel I love you so much you never fail to make me laugh
“I felt like looking like a princess today, so I did it”-totally my new motto.
If you ever question the quality of your cosplays, just remember, the ark of the covenant prop they used in Indiana Jones and Raiders of the lost Ark was made with hot glue ;)
I thought I was the only person that gets really hyped with “Don’t stop me now” 😂 Great to know I’m not alone
Sameee. Freddie Mercury is one of my idols and Queen music always boosts my mood
I love Queen so much. It's kind of sad that not that many teenagers recognise how amazing they are.
* waiting for serotonin *
"One Queen to describe them all"
I know that finding a purpose these days can be hard and that it can lead down a spiral of self-doubt and depression (or at least melancholic thoughts), so thank you, Rachel, for still making content and bringing a smile to your community! It’s tough putting yourself and your content out there and I appreciate every minute of it! 🧡
Rachel, thank you for bringing up Imposter syndrome, and for just being real with us. Its refreshing to hear people say these things and to know I'm not alone in the feelings you face. Love ya! Keep doing what you're doing. You're amazing!
The fact that I immediately got your "ouch Charlie" reference is just... wow
When she said new years look I wasn’t expecting NEW YEARS GODDESS.
THIS WOULD LOOK SO GOOD STYLED LIKE THE DIFFERENT ZODIAC SIGNS
I know a lot of youtubers say how the algorithms work better sticking to weekly/regular videos but if you don't feel up to a crafty project then you could just do compilation videos of picturesque Frodo walks when you're not up to making a weekly project. I don't think I'm alone in loving the variety your channel has had over the years with not just being a craft or make up channel 🙂
Honestly rachel, you could film yourself blabbering about lord of the rings for 2 hours and I would watch it 😅
2:12 Okay, to be honest, who doesn't have a thing for Mando though? :D
I'm watching this wearing a Van Gogh bby Yoda shirt. Mando is Best Space Dad.
Me only because I’m a lesbian but I can acknowledge he is still attractive. After all I’m gay, not blind
Me: Has a list of legitimate criticisms of Mother Teresa.
Also me: This might not be the best time. lol
It's important and necessary to set real boundaries online. We've gotta normalize this. Thank you for another ✨shockingly relatable✨ video Rachel!
SAME! I wish people would just stop using her as a good example, get someone else!
I was just watching it and just staring at my screen with a small pained smile as she talked about that b*tch mother Teresa
"It's not that hard to not be a dick!" Haha.. I do so enjoy you. I've been a subscriber for about three years now and while I genuinely enjoy your content, I'd watch you do pretty much anything because you're just such a joy. You're smart and talented and hilarious and I love watching you grow as a creator. Obviously, I also watch for the Frodo of it all but that goes without saying. I don't know how content creators manage to continue to do their jobs with all of the bitter little f@#k dumplings, determined to spread their pointless misery and 'share' their insipid, vapid, injudicious twot -waffle in every comment section, as if the world just desperately needs to know what they think about every tiny little thing, but I am so, so very glad that you do. Thank you for the laughs, the inspiration and the all-around cosy fun.
As super tiny (as in subs amount) content creator I love this comment for Rachel and anyone else that has experienced the "bitter little f@#k dumplings"!!! That is going to be writ large on my sewing room wall, thank you, thank you! Also the first time I have spit out coffee from a comment 😂😂😂😂
@@eleanorbirchellhughes Ahh, well, making someone spit out their coffee is always the aim :) Now to make someone spurt it out their nose. Onward and upward. You are most welcome and best of luck with the content creating. You're a braver human than I.
@@rebeccastockwell2608 With your sense of humour I don't think you'll be waiting very long for spurting out the nose, it's good to have goals ;-) Also thank you for the encouragement.
Honestly, I've always felt way more of a connection to a video when it's something the creator WANTED to make. "I just really wanted to do the thing so I did the things". They're my favorite videos and always end up way more entertaining. Plus, watching someone be passionate is exciting and uplifting!
"I apparently have a thing for men in mask" me too, rachel...me too
I almost screamed when you showed mando 🤣
I had a sudden flash to not only Mando, but Zorro, Batman, Wesley. . . .there is a Type
“Ouch, Charley” made me spit my coffee out. Pulled from the depths of the early internets and my soul.
"It's really not that hard to not be a dick." I feel like everyone should have that cross-stitched or embroidered on a piece of art or a pillow.
Oh that should be one of her merchandise! A pillow with that saying.
me @ 20:42 immediately: yES!!! YES YES YES!!! BE HEALTHY, STAVE OFF BURN OUT, ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES, SELF-CARE, ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE SCHEDULING, YES, GO RACHEL GO!!!! IF YOU NEED TIME OFF OR MORE TIME TO BE HAPPY WITH A PROJECT, YOU GOT IT, DUDE!!! HELL YEAH!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, LIKE, YES!!! YES!!! DO ALL OF THAT!!!! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!! TREAT YOURSELF GENTLY!!!! YES!! ♡♡♡♡
My biggest goal of 2020: Getting married in September *laugh track*
My biggest goal of 2021: Getting married in April *more laugh track*
I'm a confused and anxious potato.
I hope you can get married soon, I know there can be a lot of tension and a lot of fear behind that. Be gentle with yourself, when so much of this out of our control there's only so much we can do.
Sending good vibes and I hope your wait is short dude💖
A friend of mine does it like this: getting married 2021 in a very small ceremony and celebrating with all their friends exactly one year later, on their first anniversary
If for legal reasons you need to get married quick do a little secret elope. When Cocovirus finally leaves us well alone you can have your wedding with everyone even if you're already legally married 🥰
I would like to explain; we paid already, obviously, for a ceremony, dinner, and party for 80+ people, we have the invitations (that have the original date), a wedding planner, all the shebang. Because of the contract, our wedding planner can only refund half of our money, and I dunno if you know but, weddings are ffff expensive, and we don't want to lose our money. If we hadn't payed, we would've had a small thing already, but we worked so hard to get the wedding we wanted, we will wait. (Although my fiance said "this September, and if the world is still on flames we do it either way, I'm done")
@@LilithZephirus oh man 😔 that's hard. Hope it goes as well as possible, here's a hug 🤗
Bullet journaling is an ADHDer’s dream. I can change monthly layouts in the middle of the month, make lists for daaaays, randomly add whatever bullshit I want literally wherever, and as long as it goes on my index we’re gravy baby.
I’ve been reading so much recently about how creating for the sole objective of pleasing others leads to creative death. I’m always so happy watching your videos! At least from my perspective I envy and admire your ability to just create and not worry overmuch about issues until it’s finished and you can look back and see how you would improve. I LIVE for that neck/headpiece!
Wow. When you put up that picture of Carrie Fisher, I was like, “Dang, she does look so much like her.” Then I realized it was YOU. BTW, I also thought at the same time that I never realized just how pretty Carrie was.
“Lucy S. Once drop kicked by Gina.” 😙👌 what a woman.
Watching you cuddle Frodo while he's in donut form was my dose of serotonin for the day
Rachel , i only have one thing to tell you : Never . Ever. Change .
As a potatoes without purpose at the moment, this is sucha mood.
"Is really not that hard to not be a dick!"
The tagline of 2021
I love it when creators just be real for at least 2 minutes straight. It makes me feel like I'm talking with someone genuine while I draw something.
Rachel: what if my followers hate me
Us: oh my fucking god you’re so great be my friend
Literally my wish. lol
Hear hear!
^this^
she seems like the best friend
Yessss! Agreed!
