![a chaotic reading vlog | The Read-EH-Thon [CC]](/img/n.gif)
honestly tysm for not treating "VSCO girl" like an inherently bad or stupid thing. Every girl I know seems to be in a panic to change the way they dress/act so as to not seem like a VSCO girl, and it's honestly so sad. I'm all for the jokes, but I get so sick of people who legitimately try to shame people for being whatever society randomly decides is "basic".
this comment is so important.
Agreed, honestly I'm far older but I kinda like how wholesome it seems as a trend
@Tricia R. While I agree with this comment, saying the VSCO girls all seem so nice is also a stretch... The most recognizable or "famous" VSCO girls are in fact very mean and/or arguably bad examples. Ex: Summer McKeen, Emma Chamberlain. Let's just not generalize at all: saying they are bad simply because of how they dress or that they're nice and wholesome. People are individual, their style has nothing to do with how good or bad they are, period.
@@Cat-nb5qs ???
Exactly.
The real tea: Lala bought a Jeep because she is secretly a real VSCO girl in her spare time.
I just posted this same comment then read yours and deleted mine because the points already been made 😂
Melanie Doan so what you’re saying is that Lala is a super powerful influencer XD
Wow such a creative video! So cool how open minded you were. I thoroughly enjoyed this video (although a bit sad you didn’t like the pink drink 🥺)
Thanks for being a good sport girlfriend. 🌻 Good news, my son LOVED it so he can be an honorary vsco girl in my place haha
our book mom is always openminded when doing this kind of video.
Love you Haley
i’m shook rn
Hi haley 😁
“I don’t wear shoes in the house like you heathens.”
A mood that I agree with. 😂
YES! Hahaha. I laughed out loud to that one! I am also Canadian and do not wear shoes in the house!
SAME 👏🏼😂 (Scandinavian gal here, haha)
Exactly why would you want to track dirt around the house. More for you to clean up.
Lala: what do VSCO girls wear in the winter
Me: *starts screaming bc ive never once considered this* 💀💀💀
Maybe most vsco girls we see live in a humid weather
Or the vsco girl anesthetic just came out this year so we would really don't know what they wear in winter cause they themselves didn't experience it yet?
Idk
We are all in California where leggings and a cutoff sweatshirt will suffice for the coldest of days😂
Hoodies, leggings in ugg boots?
Matt Pennington nah, socks and burks or running shoes
Michelle Lockwood pretty much 🤷♀️🤷♀️
not that it was your intent, but this vid (as with all your videos) really highlighted the quality of your content in comparison to the majority of much bigger youtubers; your thoughtfulness and authenticity doesn’t just FEEL unique for this platform but it IS
Shes so unique with her videos I love how refreshing her videos is
Totally agree with you. Lala always delivers and her content is always so creative ❤
I agree. Not only does it keep things fresh and interesting, but in this case I appreciate that she stepped out of her comfort zone. And now I have a few more interesting books to pick up because of it.
Lala: *searches for only 3 books on book outlet*
Her cart: 8 items
I feel this so much lmao
Hahahahahahha
You should read Oprah book club picks for a week.
Yes!!
Also, Reese Witherspoon Book Club picks and Bill Gates, I don't know he has a book club but he does recommend on Instagram.
Bill Gates' Goodreads is ridiculous like he reads so many things!!
Yeah! Such a good review!
Honestly just here to learn what a VSCO girl is
Kaytlynn Nasholts Even with the descriptions it is still confusing to me!! 😂😂
@@stephanieeaves479 Lala: "So I understand the qualifications of being a VSCO girl..." Me: Well I'm glad somebody does cuz I sure as heck don't!
I see people walking around with with bits and pieces of this stuff all the time, especially the backpacks. So...is everyone a VSCO girl?? 🤔
Kaytlynn Nasholts Exactly!!! To me these are just the normal things of life... it’s so weird this became a trend. I don’t even understand how you would stick to the rules to make sure you stay on trend.
Me too!!!
Thank you! Lol. Also when did water bottles start being called 'hydro flasks'? 🤣
"I need a ukulele which I happen to have cause Liam's apparently a VSCO girl" Help me I can't stop laughing
"haha she's an adult and still reads YA" oh dang was I supposed to stop
My grandmother reads YA and loves it haha
What's funny is I'm an adult getting a master's in children's lit with a young adult emphasis. Am I a VSCO girl?
Maybe? Lol jk jk
@Tricia R. YA was a term created by a librarian to describe what she saw 14-19 year olds reading
LOVE the respectful nature of this whole video, from the treatment of VSCO girls in general (let teen girls like stuff people!) to the open-mindedness towards Mere Christianity. This was so entertaining, can't wait till the next version of this!
I'm only 10 minutes in but can I just say I'm SO SURPRISED at how religious these girls seem to be? Like I didn't realize that VSCO was a Christian thing? Nothing wrong with religion, of course (even if I'm not that religious) but so many of these girls have bibles and such? I just didn't expect that! Learn something new every day. I noticed this about the same time you do.
Okay so I finished this video and I have a few other thoughts:
The hair is awesome and I love the bangs.
The religious stuff was interesting to hear, especially as someone who isn't religious hearing it from someone else who isn't terribly religious.
You made a really cool video and I thought it was interesting! I learned some interesting stuff about VSCO culture and like, judging people? Idk it was interesting.
Haha I actually made a comment somewhere on here that talks about this. I’m a Christian, and grew up surrounded by it, and was actually so confused when people started being really successful on Instagram and stuff with that aesthetic. My Christian friends and I had been dressing like this for YEARS before it was even really a thing lol.
I am continuously astounded at how deeply religious a lot of Americans are
LacePendragonReads yeah that was interesting.
I didn’t even know this was an “aesthetic” this is just how all the religious high school girls dress in my town dress. It’s sort of how you spot them. Interesting.
i love that this doesn't actually bash vsco girls or things teenage girls like, basically. this was such a cute idea!!
C.S Lewis is one of my all time favorite authors and I am so so glad you surprisingly enjoyed reading Mere Christianity! I love how he says things like “of this topic doesn’t seem interesting to you - don’t read this chapter”
He’s just absolutely amazing
I was pleasantly surprised that she didn’t say “I just had to give up on this book because it was too religious.” The beauty of C.S. Lewis’ writings is that even if you don’t have a common faith basis, you still can find yourself nodding your head, and thinking “yeah, I never thought of it that way, but it’s so true!”
Only 11 seconds in and I died laughing at "oh no my pooka shells". lolllll the look of horror
I love how she combines beauty and trends that are not related to books at all and makes them book related
I love how you can adapt this trend without hating on teen girls. You're always so positive and fun to watch!
Your reaction when the Book of Mormon popped up on the screen 😂
'let's be honest, who's the real VSCO girl here?' 😭 😭 😭
Chapter 1: Don’t try
Hey Lala, thought I’d bring you an interesting and kinda funny piece of info I’ve noticed. So I am a Christian and have been in a Christian circle with a lot of Christian friends for most of my life, but I’ve found that- and Idk if it’s just my area (California)- a LOT of my Christian friends, and me :/ could all be classified as “VSCO” girls. It’s just kind of weird and I agree completely, there is actually a lot of religion tied in with the whole vsco girl vibe. I know that my friends and I in high school always wore the classic vsco girl baggy shirts to cover our short shorts or leggings which were sorta frowned on because our butts “made the boys stumble ://“ I know.. stupid. We weren’t really supposed to wear them at all. and we made the pooka shells and friendship bracelets and got stickers from retreats and mission trips and stuff. Hydros were an easy anchor to make the bracelets so we left them on and carried our water bottles around all day because we’d get thirsty going from school to some after school activity to church that night. I was also taught that a more “natural” and light makeup look was “better” because it was the way god made us... now trust me. The things that I agree with are the things actually said in the Bible... not some arbitrary stupid rules about “keep your shorts mid thigh please” or “a nude lip is more holy than a red”. But my friends (the girls) and I really just tried to push those arbitrary boundaries a little bit and that’s sorta how we all ended up with the vsco girl “aesthetic”. I’m not sure if the trend originated first or vice versa, but it seemed like a pretty seamless time to me. So I guess long story short, I think your comment about there being a lot of religion tied up with vsco girls is SPOT ON. We, my friends and i at least, were just trying to push the “church rules” a little while still pretty much following them. It kinda puts a different light on the vsco girl internet thing and brings some real cultural significance to it, despite how dumb it may seem on the outside.
amen sis!! as another Christian girl i agree with the fact vsco girls are more rooted in religion because of the arbitrary rules we've had to follow our entire lives. it's a way to rebel without getting in trouble, pushing the envelope just a tiny bit so we could feel more free. wish it wasn't still like that but it really is.
the graceful doot Girl same. I love my faith and will never give it up for anything but it can be soo hard sometimes to balance what I truly believe with what the particular church you are with believes, and knowing where that line is.
It’s funny because I am a lot older than you but we still had the same “aesthetic” in high school, but it was more of “girl jocks” vibe. We wore minimal makeup and comfy clothes because we played sports right after school, and carried jugs of water around because we were always hot and thirsty from running around. But we would also try to girl it up with colorful hair ties and accessories, and even had the shell necklaces too but I blame that on living in Florida! Lol
omfg, Lala said SKSKSKSK
This is the entertainment we need 👏🏻
What do vsco girls do in the winter hibernate?
Lala you’re literally the best 🤣🤣🤣
Mark my words. This video is going to blow up and has potential to be in top 10 most viewed vids on her channel 👀
If all of the "VSCO UA-camrs" she mentioned see this video 💀😂
So I just finished watching this video and I didn’t realize it was an hour long until Lala said it at the end. 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣
Julie De Leon omgggg i didn’t realize until i read this
'I don't wear my shoes in the house like your heathens' me toooooo
Here I am, in a public library finding out that I'm a VSCO girl down to the hair clips and metal straws. I love the world wide web.
"I'm not sure how anyone can make this look cute" you say as you make the look cute!
Trying to find the books WAS A RIDE.
so interesting watching this now that haley has become somewhat of a booktuber herself now!!
58 mins of Lala discovering that she is, in fact, a VSCO girl
saw the title and went AND I OOP
I didn't even know VSCO subculture existed until that tiktok went around..
"I don't wear shoes in the house unlike you heathens"
ok yes queen of logic, we stan on that one
I had no clue until about a month ago when my 16 yo son enlightened me after he'd learned about it on tiktok 🙄
I'm just learning about this now. Had no clue what it was until Lala explained. 😂 Starting to realize that I might be getting older than I feel lol.
no shoes in the house is going to be a rule in my future house!
I had never heard of vsco girl until this video. Then I suddenly see it everywhere.
“I look like I work at a gas station” is an accurate depiction of me every time I get dressed.
Hahaha when you said “oh...no that’s a stack of DVDs” I laughed out loud. I thought it was books too.
I’ve never heard of VSCO girls, but all these things remind me of my teens and twenties in the 90’s. 🤣
When I saw IT Chapter 2 in theaters a group of high schoolers sat behind us and during one of the scariest scenes I heard them start going "sksks" and "and I oop" and I wanted to die.
But aside from that I fully support the comfy clothes and scrunchies
I’ve seen so many comments saying this but I agree with this: thank you for not painting VSCO girls/aesthetic in a negative context. Girls supporting girls. ❤️ Your vlogs are always so creative and I’m basically saying my booktuber goal is to be as creative as you when I grow up. 😂👍🏻
RE: Mere Christianity. If I remember right, I believe CS Lewis was an atheist until he was an adult so I think that’s why the focus of his theology books keep nonbelievers in mind more than other theology books might.
Yes, he became a Christian later in life.
I didn't know this!!! I didn't become a christian til I was 24. I'm intrigued
@@qreua_3075 I became a Christian when I was 20. Raised in a non-religious home.
@@beckyduff same!! I grew up in a family that "believed in God but wasn't religious"
@@qreua_3075 my family never really said one way or another what their beliefs were about God. I am still the only Christian in my immediate family.
i almost screamed when i saw this notification omg...
Your talk about young readers really makes me want to start some form of book social media. Especially to encourage both reading and writing. There’s certain videos that like to criticize writing sites and it really rubs me the wrong way because many of these sites are predominantly younger people just sharing their writing. You have to start somewhere, don’t shy away from writing your fan fictions! I’ve read many amazing fics that are leagues better than published books I’ve read.
Amazing anthropological deep dive. You went native fully and naturally. Other then forgetting to buy a metal straw, this video is a masterpiece of anthropological deep dive into mostly shallow literature! 😂👏
Maybe try reading your favorite authors favorite books
I truly enjoyed hearing what a non-religious person thinks of Lewis. He continues to be a favourite even as I’ve left religion behind. He’s a clever and enjoyable writer.
I’m just fangirling at the fact that my Instagram was shown in the comments!💕
This was such a fun video to watch but I love how you really made sure to empower woman and encourage young readers🙌🏻
1:45 come through with the commentary! Girls should raise each other up, not drag each other down. Thank you for always being so accepting
I’m just always so impressed with your ability to just pick up any sort of book and give it a try. You really inspire to to leave my comfort zone and to try books I normally wouldn’t consider!
I absolutely love how you incorporate your insta and clothes and everything into your challenge vlogs, easily my favourite UA-camr
"let's be honest, who's the real vsco girl here?" *dying*
SAME!!
Scary stories to tell in the dark... I just read it to my daughter and nephew... read it out loud to children. You’ll get it so much more lol “the toe” scared the crap out of them and I couldn’t stop laughing.
I wish we had something like book outlet in Europe i am so jealous
I love this so much, I feel like I’m too old but I love the VSCO girl aesthetic and would love to be a vsco girl. I just need to thrift more and wear less makeup but also it conflicts with like my other 20 personalities of wanting to be glam and fun.
I feel like I learned so much about vsco girls from this 😂
when you went 👀 after seeing The Book of Mormon...I felt that
What I learned from this video:
- what a VSCO girl is
- that I should really buy some hair scrunchies #90sgirl
Questions though :
- Do hair scrunchies stay in thick hair or do I need to put a normal hair tie in first?
- is a hydro flask just a fancy name for a water bottle or does it need to have certain qualities like keeping the water cool?
Such a fun video! Hadn't even noticed it's been an hour🙈
Hydro Flask is a brand :)
@@nash5262 really?🙈Thanks. Genuinely didn't know. Guess that's more of a US&Canada thing 😅
You didnt read the poo book?? Im dissapointed, i really wanted to know if it was good
I love your naturally rosy cheeks! So jelly!
LOL “this is much more religious than I thought it would be.”
i’m watching this very late but the scene when she pulls up the book of mormon and you go WHATDIDIGETMYSELFINTO is so funny i lost my miNd
*angrily* "and they leave all their chapstick out and about" lmao
The ending was my favorite. You need to put together a VSCO Girl stocking for Robbie for Christmas.
"Oh my god! Books!" That's a mood.
SKSKSKSKSKK AND I OOP SKSKSKS AND I OOP
This a new language..🤔
chanelletime SKSKSKSKSKSKSK 😂😂😂😂
Lala was a VSCO girl before there were VSCO girls. So hipster, lol.
Also, you have to appreciate her dedication to the premise of this video. If it were me, I’d give up half-way through the second room tour. Lala, constantly sacrificing her time to feed us quality content. 👍
I can't believe I stayed up a full hour when I had intended to watch one or two 10 minute videos before bed. This was so worth it, the entire experience was a wild ride and I was entertained the entire time. Please DO keep up the doing other things when you do the "read as" vlogs. It added so much to this without taking any attention away from the books.
“I don’t wear my shoes in the house like you heathens.” 😂😂
Your videos always remind me why I love reading
“Kinda look like an egg but I’m living for it” literally me in a nutshell
VenLouie I giggled so much at that part. 😂
When you were shouting out younger booktubers I was like “aw man I wish I was a booktuber. I would love to be apart of that group inspiring other teens” and then I remembered that I’m 22.... and yet I’m still a VSCO girl. Apparently the only pagan VSCO girl too so that’s pretty exciting
You should do an books pick my outfit challenge. Like how you did the books choose what I eats the first time clothes, hair and makeup are mentioned that is what you do.
Lala is like the Shane Dawson of booktube with her mini documentaries sksksks and i oop
This didn't age well xD
@@elena0351 i was going to say that lol
I loved this so much, please make all your videos an hour long btw im living for it
THE FACE YOU MADE WHEN SHE SHOWED THE MORMON BOOK I'M DYING
“Put scrunchies on their thing and leave all their chap stick out and about.” I’m dying 😂😂😂
Honestly the scrunchie renaissance is everything I've ever needed in my life and more
Normally I watch these long videos in bits, but not this day. I was so intrigued by the explanation of VSCO and I love you don't judge it but just show it. Lewis is one of my favourite theological (and not being that obvious) writers, so I'm excited you gave it a try. He was at first an atheist and became a christian later in life and I think that it is also why he says that he doesn't know it all.
Love your hair 💗
So, I’m not very religious but I read CS Lewis’s screwtape letters and it blew my mind. Lots of talk about morals and negative thinking. I would love a review if you ever read that.
Tricia R. Thank you ! I will definitely read that:)
“i don’t wear my shoes in the house like you heathens” i died, shoes in the house is so gross lol
Okay, I’ll try the second half of The subtle art. I dnf-ed this book month ago.
I'm here from the future and I gotta say, Emma has been on the reading game. I know VSCO girls aren't really a "thing" anymore but I think it would be fun to revisit reading what non-Booktubers are reading 🤓📚
Haley Pham became a booktuber also😅
You learn something new every day... 😂😂 I feel like I've been living under a rock
a beautiful chaos of books same ,do you have place to other person?
I have never read or heard of "are you there god it's me Margret" until today but this is the literal third time I've heard someone mention it in the last couple hours!? WHAT IS THIS BOOK!!!!
wow im so glad you went into this with the mindset of 'let people do the thing' bc so many of these videos have an 'im not like other VSCO girls' attitude. i'm sick of people hating on every single thing young girls like it's literally pathetic.
I'm now officially starting to get old. I thought I was generally well versed in internet memes and jargon but i have never heard of vsco girls.
I'm "only" 28, but this video made me feel like a senior. "oh, scrunchies have really made a comeback? I remember my collection of scrunchies when I was FIVE." 🤦♀️ and I've never seen/heard of the term "VSCO girl", but I have been educated now.
@@esmeraldavanwildernis1440 I'm only 20 and I feel the same way😂😭
That was my first thought too. "I'm not in with the kids anymore 😭😅"
I loved every second of this. And also so pleased you loved Eating Animals as much as I did!
Watching this now is kinda feel surreal since now Haley has tons of books and even make book related content
so this is what the post was about!!
I'm already loving this series :D Can't wait for more!
I don't mind watching you for an hour...
And the husband at the end is hilarious!
i've reached a point in my life where i don't understand the youth culture/lingo anymore and i feel so free XD
loved this!
Finally, I have an explanation for what a vsco girl actually is, I was so confused 😅
Okay but please make the next one an hour because this made my day.
I love your channel so much! Your content is very unique and you're often pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which is also very admirable. I'm so happy I found you
I didn’t even know what a VSCO girl was 😂 I’m getting old, clearly 😅
Same here! I've never heard of a VSCO girl.
Same!
i know it's 4 am but this title is too good to sleep on
This video was super entertaining lol!
omg foolish hearts is one of my favourite books too ahh I got so hyped when she had that!
I love that you take main trends and turn them bookish! Its Hilarious😂
Love your hair! The color makes your eyes pop.
LOVE the ending blooper ... and at least you found some novels to enjoy.
