Is Lady Gaga A Man? Do you really care? I heard all the rumors that were circulating when a video showing what appeared to be Lady Gaga's "accessories" surfaced on Youtube a while back and there were all sorts of questions if maybe Lady Gaga was actually male or a transvestite or whatever. I quickly became bored with the question because I (gasp) don't give a hoot about Lady Gaga. But here comes Hank Green from the Vlogbrothers testing out Google's intuitive system by typing just the word "is" and finds one of the collective conumdrums facing the world is Lady Gaga's sexuality.
Like I said, I don't care about Lady Gaga and mostly pass on her music and disregard her "shocking behaviour" because I see it as simply a promotional gimmick.
What I thought was funny was Hank doing what we all do, and seeing what's being said and asked about people we know and Hank finds that people are interested in his brother John and that there are lots of questions about "Is John Green married?" or "Is John Green gay?" but poor old Hank cannot catch a break. When he types in his own name - nothing. Maybe it's because there are so many questions about the vlogbrother known as Hank that no one or two common questions have purcolated up into Google's algorithm.

Shaytards Christmas Extravaganza: It's Shaytastic!
Here's the long-awaited Shaytards Christmas Special. It clocks in at a whopping 37 minutes, but for fans of Shay Carl, Katilette and the various tardlets, it is just the right length for a Shaytards video. Come spend Christmas with the number one family on Youtube:
Shay was promising this extra-long Shaytards video for a few days now and it was definitely worth the wait. Loved the parts at the skate board ramp/gym with just about every tard bouncing and jumping all over the place. I was also impressed by Shay and his brothers and sister with the handstands. Gotta give kudos to Casey for holding his hand stand the longest. One thing I like about these videos is that the whole family gets involved, even Grampa and Grandma tard. They all seem to be having fun and it is good exercise for the entire clan.
Liking the tradition of everyone wearing the same pajamas too. The kids looked too cute (as well as Mommytard and her sisters-in-law), but the guys took the cake.
I think I want one of those paper jamz
that Sontard got - just too cool for school. Loved seeing all the kids so excited about their various presents.

Project For Awesome Videos Raise $100,000 For Various Charities
In case you missed it, the Project For Awesome was reportedly a big success and they uploaded the show to Youtube (you can see all the videos at p4a. They've uploaded 83 videos so far which is great. This first one shows DeStorm, MysteryGuitarMan, and Freddy Wong all playing and singing well.
Really check out the videos on the P4A channel (link above) as there are interviews with all the top Youtubers like HotFor Words, the Vlogbrothers, Shay Carl, KassemG & NicePeter, Michelle Phan, Tay Zonde, Michael Buckley and iJustine (just to name a few!).
If you want to see some of the behind the scenes stuff, check out this Shaytards video:
It starts with Shay and various Tardlets having some fun and then Shay takes us behind the scenes of the Project For Awesome live show. And iJustine uploaded this one on her 2nd channel. Lots of wellknown Youtube people all through both of these videos.
At last count the Project For Awesome website showed that over $97,000 had been raised for various charities. Great job by all involved. If you want to know more about the Project For Awesome, check out the website and maybe bookmark it for next year's event.

Katers17 Plays Left 4 Dead 2 with Her Dad And Shows Some Pictures
This is the kind of vlog that I really like: an interesting person (Kate17 or Kate) doing a personal vlog in different locations and sharing images and memories from their past.
I've been subbed to Kate for a while and always enjoy her videos for some reason. It may be the accent - English and other european accents always seem to be so hot. But that's not the only reason I watch her videos. It's the little clips like the shot of Left 4 Dead 2 "You are so getting played tonight" and then immediately switches to a blingy watch. And it is the little things like that car that shocks her and the annoying door. Little vignettes that are interesting.
But it is when Kate is with her father showing some pictures from her childhood (I thought she was going to cry a bit when she mentioned her cat) and it was nice seeing how proud she is of her dad. I would have never guessed that her father was from Alaska until Kate mentioned that he was half native Alaskan. And then she introduced him to the wonderful world of video games. Seems like it was a nice night.

Olga Kay And Exotic Jess Doing Some Car Singing
This video starts with Olga Kay after just waking up explaining that she and her friend Jess (aka exoticjess) had a minor spat because Olga wants to go to the gym and Jess feels she doesn't look as good as Olga and needs to get her face on. First off, BOTH are gorgeous. Why do pretty girls always feel that they don't look good without makeup?
I'm guessing that Nadine (naders07), Olga's roommate for about a month or so finally made her way back home to Vancouver (I'll have to check Nadine's channel to get an update on her) and Jess and Olga are trying to stop any rumors before they start about them being a "couple".
That would be our loss guys as either one is a fine specimen. Just look at them in the car singing "Imagine" by John Lennon lol. Neither seems to know the words completely (or be able to carry a tune) but I dunno if it's the lighting but they both look very nice. Maybe it's just because they're singing with abandon. Nothing wrong with that though. Nothing is more fun that bellowing out a song in the car with your friends.

The Lonely Island With Akon: I Just Had Sex
It's about time we got something new from The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer & Jorma Taccone) and this is the first song off their 2nd album called "I Just Had Sex" and the song is also carrying that name.
The video features Akon, (yummy) Jessica Alba, (equally yummy) Blake Lively and (not-quite-so-yummy) John McEnroe. What do you think? Hit or miss? You can pick it up on iTunes.
"She Put A Bag On My Head!" "Still Counts!"
I don't know what they caught at the end of the video where they were shooting off fireworks, but I think both Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have the same thing - except their fireworks were from their breasts.
The Lonely Island is Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer & Jorma Taccone

Tim And Zar Put Snow Tires On His Car
I guess this video could have been called "Hot Girl Does Auto Work" because I didn't know that Zar knew so much about cars and how to fix them. Tim (timjdeegan) is about to head out for a road trip to Oshawa Ontario and he needs to switch out the old standard tires on his car and put some good snow tires on. That's when he tells us about Zar (zarmckim) and her car know-how.
It is funny to watch these to quibble back and forth like an old married couple as Zar show's Tim how to go about changing tires, and Tim gets an smashed finger from the car being improperly mounted. Perhaps that's a good Xmas gift? A new jack for Tim's car.
Also, I have to say that their dog Dawson is just about the cutest ever. They could put up a video of him doing that little dance on his hind legs he was doing at 5:29 and it would probably go sorta viral.

It's Sammah Claus With A Christmas "Do It Float?"
Haven't you always looked at Christmas decorations and been wondering about whether it floats or not? No? What about garland? Surely you must have wondered about garland? No, I haven't - and stop calling me Shirley. Well, Sammah has been doing some tests and in his best Sammah Claus getup, he brings us a Christmas "Do It Float?"
The result? You have to watch Sammah's video to find out. One question I have for him though is what his water bill must be. The water company must think he has a terrible water leak in his pipes or he gets nasty dirty a LOT and requires a lot of bath water.
Make wure you sub to Sammah at the link above. And I noticed the Bradshaw's Blog Facebook page received Sammah's vote of approval - so if it's good enough for Sammah to join, why haven't you joined the Facebook page?
And if you liked the Christmas Do It Float, check out this earlier episode where he tests one of Red Bull's fine beverages:

Jessica And Ashlee Simpson: Little Drummer Boy
Some would knock the sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson lately that their fortunes were on the decline, but here we get to hear the actually sing together on one of the best Christmas carols "Little Drummer Boy".
News on Jessica Simpson is that her clothing line is starting to turn some enormous coinage. Check this headline: Jessica Simpson's Fashion Company Worth Nearly $1 Billion. Yes, Jessica is doing okay I think. Simpson Diversifies Her Billion-Dollar-Worth Collection. It won't be long before we will be saying "Did you know that billionaire Jessica Simpson started out as a singer?"

MysteryGuitarMan's Animated Video Drawn By His Fans
First off, I love the song "Hit The Road Jack" originally done by the one and only Ray Charles (did MysteryGuitarMan steal Ray's style of sunglasses?) but once again MGM comes up with a cool and creative video.
This is so different from what you usually see on Youtube, except from MysteryGuitarMan of course. He got a bunch of his subscribers to send in tracings of several pictures of himself and pieced them all together to make up this video, so I guess this is actually a collaberation video made by MGM and 3,000 others. If you sent in a picture and it got used, congrats, it will be seen by a million viewers.
And he also has his contest for his Sony PSP and all you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section of the video. Just say what you favorite color of t-shirt is and you're in.

What's This?! Charlie McDonnell Chopped Off His Red Hair?
Yes, Charlie McDonnell has let down the vast female membership of his viewing audience by losing the red mop top he has had for about 10 months now. He originally dyed it red on a dare and has been stuck with the Weasley-esque hairdo ever since, but as he mentions, he had enough of the jokes about "Ron Weasley Is So Cool Like" and "Charlie Weasley" so after growing it out he's finally chopped it off.
As well, Charlie is all wide-angle with his new camera. It's a Canon 60D with "a big lens thing and a road video mike" for about 2 thousand pounds (that's about $3100 U.S. dollars - quite a sum) but you can see that the picture is vastly improved on his old Sony HD SR10.
Must admit I liked his "tribute" to his now missing hair that's "now in the bin". Just in case you haven't seen the video where he dyed his hair, here's that video:

Josh Sundquist Preps You On Twitter For Math Nerds
I was just on Twitter frittering away some time that I should have been using blogging or something equally unconstructive when I saw that iJustine had tweeted that her followers "should check this funny video out" and I, the dutiful IJ fan, quickly clicked the link for the video below called "Twitter For Math Nerds". You should check it out too because it is good.
The video is from JoshSundquist and you have to agree that it is clever. I don't know how but I somehow started following Lady Gaga. You better watch out or you'll be next!
I was going to reply to iJustine right away saying that the video was great and thanks for tweeted the link, but according to Josh's charts that would be super creepy. So thanks Josh for helping me out from seeming like I was macking on IJ. I already have enough court orders, cease and desist orders and restraining orders, but I digress.
I wasn't familiar with Josh or his Youtube channel (follow the link above to sub), but I found out he's got 58K subscribers and he posts alot (about 5-6 times this past week) so for that kind of effort and because I liked this video, I'm subscribing to his channel. Maybe he'll have some sort of tutorial soon about how to pick hot blonde youtubers. Oh, there I go again. I can imagine IJ already filling out the restraining order paperwork. If you want to follow Josh on Twitter, his account is @JoshSundquist and if you want to stalk, er, follow IJ, her's is @ijustine (but you didn't hear that from me).

New Simon's Cat Video ~ "Santa Claws"
Poor Simon is just about finished putting all the Christmas decorations on his Christmas tree and notices that his angel for the top of his tree is missing. As he steps out, guess who steps in...
I have to say that I love Simon's Cat and if you want more of these great animated videos I would suggest you check out the channel at that link. Simon's Cat is one of the most subscribed UK channels with of 324K subs.

CNET And iJustine Review The Apple iPad
Both of these videos came out a while ago (May 2010 I believe), but both are actually good reviews of the Apple iPad. The CNET review is done by Donald Bell, a senior editor at cnet.com who explains the iPad in a non-techy manner that those unfamilar with the device can easily follow. He also shows how to use the Apple iPad's apps and tells viewers about how including iTunes and the Apple Apps Store on the iPad make it a great tablet.
Another look at the Apple iPad is given by iJustine on her ijustinereviews, her channel where she offers reviews of various tech products like the ipad. She mentions towards the end of the video that she was going to review some of the apps and you can find that video here: ipad apps review.
IJ also mentioned that the iPad unfortunately doesn't have a camera, but since she released this video it looks like the next version of the iPad due out in early 2011 will have one.

Meekakitty The Buffy-Hater Slayer
Yes, I'm a guy and I used to watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I sound like I should be saying that at some "Buffy Anonymous" group session. I've never been fanatical about the show, mostly watching re-runs as the series itself was winding down, but I am up on Buffy terminology and have seen probably every episode at least once. So I can feel the pain when Meekakitty expresses some distain and skepticism about the announcement of a new movie based on the Buffy series.
Very surprised that the people in charge of this "re-boot" of the slayer concept are forgoing Whedon, who was instrumental in creating the series that starred Sarah Michelle Gellar (and the original Buffy movie with Kristy Swanson). That was the reason I was drawn in to the series - Whedon's imaginative and clever writing as well as the character development.
Like Tessa I thought Willow Rosenberg was one of the more interesting characters on the show, played by Alyson Hannigan who of course went on to even more fame and fortune as the band camp girl in the American Pie movies and one of my favorites on the long-running hit series How I Met Your Mother. Hannigan sure got hot after leaving Sunnyvale and the Scooby Gang.
But it will be interesting to see how they take this "new slayer" in the new movie. Will it be with a kinda subtle humor like the original movie or will they go with a darker more forboding mood? Parts of the original I liked. PeeWee Herman ~ Paul Ruebens was hilarious, but Luke Perry, meh. And anything with Donald Sutherland can be interesting.
If you haven't seen the series (what?! how?), you can pick it up at Amazon: all 7 seasons for around $100 or so Buffy On Amazon or just get your feet wet with the first season and go from there.
Here's one of the other Youtube channel's take on the announcement of the new Buffy movie:
If you want to read what Joss Whedon's response to the news that he was being excluded from the movie, Meekakitty included that link to his short interview.
And for those who can never get enough Buffy, have you checked out those Buffy graphic novels? They are a continuation of what happened in the series and use the same characters, Buffy, Willow, Xander etc. They have been putting those out for a while and are getting some good reviews from die-hard Buffy fans.
Probably one of my favorite Buffy episodes was the one with The Gentlemen. The episode was called "Hush" and when these super-creeping dudes and their henchmen descended onto Sunnyvale to take peoples' hearts, everyone in town lost their voice and couldn't scream. There was one scene where a character looks out of her window spys the Gentlemen floating by neighbor's houses and jumps in fright as one passes closely by her window grinning maniacally. Here's a clip of the episode:

Some Youtube News: A Chinese Youtube Clone, Bieber Speaks To Fans And Some VidCon 2011 News
Chinese Youtube Company Called Youku Takes A Step Into The U.S. Market
News just came out that a Chinese company called a "clone of Youtube" just had its initial public offering and the shares of the company shot up from what they expected to raise. What that means is there's a Chinese Youtube (called Youku.com - how clever) that is setting itself up to be in competition with Youtube.
The company itself is comparatively tiny when you look at its numbers against Youtube's, but you have to remember that China is the 2nd largest Internet market in the world and if this company has little in the way of legitimate competition (think in terms of advertising dollars), it has, and will continue to grow by leaps and bounds, sucking in viewers in the far east and around the world.
At that point it could pose a legitimate threat to Youtube's pre-eminence. That could take years, but you can bet the furrowed brows at Youtube HQ have noticed this new player in the game. Hopefully they will take quick steps to ensure they can retain their spot as the top dog in video etc.
If you want to take a look at the technical news article it is at: Youku.com.
There's also news about another Chinese company being set up to compete with Amazon.
Justin Bieber Apologizes To Fans
Justin Bieber apologized to his fans about not having posted anything new to his channel for some time in the short (0:47 seconds) video below. Hey, livin' the pop star life, winning all those AMAs and looking ahead to the Grammies which he hopes will see a similar result has been keeping the kid from Stratford Ontario hopping.
Is it just me or is Bieber's voice finally dropping a bit? He's doing this video to announce he is in a contest called "MyYoutube" and even if you hate Bieber, you should still take a look at it. The Youtube channel you need to go to is:
MyYouTube
It says "Visit the MyYouTube channel to subscribe to your favorite artists, help them score points, and enter for a chance to win over 250 prizes." Prizes? What prizes? You have to go and find out.
Looking For Info About VidCon 2011? Need Tickets? Yeah, Now I'm "Bradshaw the Scalper"
Lots of people are looking for information about VidCon and if you don't know what/where/how much/why you have to be at VidCon 2011, I've started putting a bunch of pages up around the Internet for folks to find out.
You can check the discussion board on the Bradshaw's Blog Facebook Page where I've got some information about tickets and prices as well as some other links if you need more information about VidCon.

John Green's Zombie Apocolypse Novella And Project For Awesome Prizes
Just in case you didn't know, John Green of the Vlogbrothers is a best-selling author when he's not uploading great videos with his brother Hank. Check it out on John Green's Amazon author page if you want to see more of his writing.
In this video, John reads one page from his "zombie apocolypse novella":
I'm not sure about other zombie apocolypse literature (other than the Walking Dead graphic novels and television series), but I liked John's one-page treatise with his character trying to be a rebel and "rowing against the current" and not become "z-eed up".
If you are a fan of the vlogbrothers you know that John sometimes reads passages of his books like this and I for one like his writing style. I may have to turn in my membership to Nerdfighters, but I haven't had a chance to read any of his books yet, but I like what he writes.
The cool thing is that you can be the proud owner of the only copy of something that John has written because his zombie apocolypse novella is only one of "many prizes" being raffled off for the "Project For Awesome" which is a project where thousands of members of the Youtube community upload videos all at the same time (noon pacific time December 17, 2010) with each video made in support of the uploader's favorite charity. See? Awesome.
The next day, December 18, 2010, there will be a big Youtube show in Los Angeles that will be on Youtube live. So it is a big win-win, with great charities getting some acknowledgement and a fun Youtube shindig and a raffle for cool prizes.

First Look At New Transformers 3 Dark Side Of The Moon Trailer
Everyone is wondering what the latest in the Transformers series will look like, well now we have a chance to take a peek. Check out the latest trailer for Transformers 3 Dark Side of the Moon which will be released July 1, 2011. And it will be in 3D, so grab your glasses.
Of course many will be whining about the lack of Megan Fox in the movie, but the lovely Ms Fox is busy attending to other projects (The Crossing 2011; Friends With Kids 2012) so sorry guys, no Megan Fox booty in super 3D.
According to the trailer, it looks like Neal Armstrong and the boyd from Apollo 11 had a secret agenda when they landed on the moon to check out a huge UFO that has crash landed on the moon. Any guesses what they find?
You can expect more trailers for the film to be released as the July 1 released date draws closer. We will probably get one or two with Shia LaBeouf and there has to be at least one with gratuitous shots of Victoria Secrets model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who slips into Fox's spot as the love interest of Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf).

Poor iJustine's Got A Bloody Eye: Don't Look If You Get Queasy Easy
One of the reasons I love watching iJustine is because she's, well, just easy on the eyes. She's quirky, goofy, and fun. IJ had a mishap while at her parents and she's a little self-conscious (IJ? Never!) and hesitant about showing her subscribers, but here she is. If you get queasy about blood, you might not want to watch:
It's just a broken blood vessel in her eye (known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage) which is a lot more common than you would think, but the poor girl's obviously a little self-conscious. I think I detected her blushing slightly when she shows us the eye. A teacher of mine in high school had the same thing happen and recovered quickly and iJustine will too, probably just in time for Christmas.
In the meantime IJ feels the need to hide her face behind a lock of her hair and hasn't been putting up videos because she thinks she looks "hideous" which is crap. Even if she gets the nickname Justine "Bloody Eyeball" Ezarik (sounds like a cool mobster name for IJ), she still maintains her hotness factor - even with her mutant eye. Hopefully she gets well soon, because I need my iJustine fix almost every day.

Sexy Karen Alloy Teaches You How To Flirt
Love the latest video from Spricket where she teaches girls how to flirt correctly. Of course by the end of the video all the blood left my brain and I passed out, but what can you do when confronted with this red-headed vixen?
Karen can flirt easily with just a little flicker of an upraised eyebrow. Don't want to gush, but dang, she's so hot! Funny, pretty and sexy - Karen's got it all wrapped up in tasty little package. Okay, I can stop drooling now. I've been subscribed to Karen for awhile and also stalk, I mean follow her on Twitter (@KarenAlloy) where she's closing in on 30K followers. She just hit 20K last month I think.
You can find her Youtube channel at the link at the top. Karen also is approaching 200K Youtube subs and I think she will probably get a bunch more with this video - especially the part about "Good Dental Hygene".

Sxephil: WikiLeaks, Ruminations On A Tubby Kevin Smith And Phil Is A Misogynist Pig?!
Just finished getting my daily fix of Phillip DeFranco and he covered some of the big news stories we need to know about. I have been following the WikiLeaks story since it broke and it does seem that "someone" has it in for Julian Assange after he handed over information the U.S. government deemed potentially damaging to foreign relations. And now Assange is in jail without bail on a charge that may or may not have merit. Hmmm....
And as far as the Kardashian story, all I can say is why didn't the celebs just kick in some money if they believed so strongly in the charity? It is an excellent charity and deserves lots of support, but it seems Kimmy and her cohorts could have remedied the situation by simply tossing some of their own long green bills behind the charity rather than coaxing a rich pharma-dude into parting with his money.
I agree Kevin Smith needs to re-assess. Smith is all kinds of awesome, he makes funny stuff (not always but more than most) and when I found out he likes hockey, that made the man golden - I'm Canadian so if you are original AND funny AND share and share my affection for the best sport in the world. He does unfortunately cheer for the New Jersey Devils and on the Canadian side has an unhealthy appreciation for the show Degrassi but you have to overlook some character flaws and foibles to make the relationship work. Check out Kevin Smith on Twitter.
Phil DeFranco Explains Why He Posts Hot Girls On PhillyD.tv
Phil must get a lot of comments from women complaining about some of the pictures he puts up over at his blog (PhillyD.tv for the uninitiated) and they say he must hate women because of the pictures he puts up. Here's Phil explaining:
Hey, I have no problem with the pictures he puts up. Sure some are gratuitous, and just steamy, hot, barely dressed... hot... oh, sorry, I was distracted there. All I can say is if you don't like the pictures - don't look at them. There is a lot worse posted all over the Internet that I (and you) should have a problem with rather than some cheesy pictures of pretty girls, wearing... hot, girls...
Phil's girlfriend, the lovely LinzLoves (check out her channel) is okay with it, and seems to trust him, so maybe you should MYOB. If you don't like it, don't look at the pictures. With all the stuff online, getting wound up about these shots is just counter-productive.
As far as Phil girlfriend, Linz, she's been uploading videos on her channel about her trip to Italy and I was going to post something about her trip, so expect something in the next few days (or just go to her channel and watch all her videos).

Beatles' Let It Be Sung By Just About Every Former Star From The Past 30 Years
Someone sent me the link to this video showing a bunch of stars (and semi-stars) singing the Beatles "Let It Be". See who you remember.
Lots of famous folks. Quite the eclectic chorus! I saw David Faustino (Bud Bundy), that guy from Milli Vanilli, a bunch of folks from the old series L.A. Law, the lead singer from Twisted Sister (what happened to all that hair Dee Snider?!), Norm from Cheers (where was Cliffie?) and too many more to list.
I think the video was made because of the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death that falls on December 8, but i cannot be sure.

Shaytards: Idaho Football, Hot Chicks And Sontard Turns Seven
Looks like Shay Carl and the whole Shaytards clan are off to watch a little Idaho football as Boise State takes on Utah State. You can find out more here about the Boise-Utah game.
First Shay had to take the tardlets for a dip in the pool and Babytard just about explodes with excitement to get swimming. Lol at little Cooper (Shay's nephew) when Shay's brother shows him how to swim and Cooper starts swimming in mid-air. Then off they go to the Big Game.
The football game was pretty good (a blue football field?) and the home team won which was good. Right at the end, we get to see Sontard celebrating his birthday. Hard to believe he's already seven! Before Shay and Katilette know it, they'll be watching Sontard playing football in college. Let's see, that would mean Shay would be doing the Shaytards vlog in about 12 years! I think Shay just shuddered at the thought that they will still be filming in 12 years, but we'll probably all still be watching.

Zarmckim Gets Some Stitches: Don't Dance On Couches!
I subscribed to zarmckim (the very cute Sara McKim, even with the burn mark on her mouth) after watching her and her boyfriend Tim (timjdeegan) going to the Toronto gathering, see: Shay Carl And Wheezy Waiter Behind The Scenes.
Sara tells us about her mishap while bustin' a move on her couch and requiring stitches (thought for sure she was going to show her stitches, but luckily she didn't) and her first attempt at the vlog. After subbing to her I sent a message telling her to do more vlogs and she is which is great.
Tim also does vlogs and videos and you should go sub to his channel (link above) and get these two some more subs! I'd like to say that all of us Canadians look like these two and that's why Canada is sending Hollywood all of their best looking people, but I'd be lying lol. We do have a lot of hot girls and good looking guys in Canada, but we also have others that look like they were hit in the face with a shovel. Probably why I blog rather than vlog myself. If you doubt me, check the "About" button at the top.
Also, if you want to find out how she got the burn at the dentist, check her video. One more reason to hate going to the dentist I guess!

Kitties Mama Hit 1,000 Subscribers And Say Thank You
I love these kind of videos that feature the kids just going through their day. This one is from a new channel that I just subscribed to that you may like as well: KittiesMama. Mom films the children buying and decorating a cake to celebrate hitting 1,000 subscribers (they now have 1,170 since uploading the video). If you like this video, be sure to sub to them and try to get them up to 5,000-10,000 subscribers.
The music was a nice touch, kinda Christmasy and sort of reminded me of the music running through A Charlie Brown Christmas. The kids are all cute and they should make more videos! Maybe not as many as the Shaytards, but they should upload at least once or twice a week. The kids names are Emma, Jonah, and Noah and the Mommy of the "KittiesMama" name is behind the camera, trying desperately to corral 3 rambunctious children and 4 kittens. Little Emma apparently wants to be a Youtube makeup guru!
Check out this other video they did of the kids making 100 Faces In One Minute.
