I Got An 18th Century Makeover

HELLO FRIENDS!! the williamsburg x safiya x abby x nicole collab is finally nigh!! i hope you guys enjoy it & please make sure to check out abby, nicole, and cheyney's youtube channels linked in the description! ps - for legal reasons, the panty thing is a joke 🌝 what did you guys think of my final look?? xoxo, saf (btw - CW = colonial williamsburg lol)

Thank you Safiya for the shout out, and for shining a light on historical interpreters and tradespeople! 😍

On Wednesdays we wear ye Clokes o' carnation Velvett 💅

So there’s a candle company that has a scent for every us state. She should combine all 50 states to find the scent of America. It’s called homesick candles! Copy and paste if you agree and want her to do this!!!

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.

No because every single joke Tyler just casually dropped made me GASP for air laughing every single time lmao

This was such a fun time and I can’t wait to hang out and plot more historical clothing shenanigans with you 😭❤️🎉

The background crab walk at 27:38 absolutely destroyed me. This entire collaboration was such a delight and worth the wait!

As a lover of history, historical fashion, and museum, I cannot described how jealous I am.

Alternate title: Tyler following Safiya and her new friends back in time.

The best! So excited that we got to help out on such a fun trip! Only a few hundred more decades to drag you into next❤

Safiya should’ve been invited to the 2022 met gala

You know Abby is a fan when she says the word "Murkin" in front of Safiya. Gosh I love her for that.

the fact that Safiya still managed to fit the color black into her outfit is insane

YESSSSS, THIS IS AMAZING

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!

I appreciate how thoughtful you are about contextualising historical fashion. I love fashion history and sewing, but i see so many people refusing to acknowledge the economic disparity and slavery without being so aggressively defensive. Great video as always saf!

Safiya saying “colonial Williamsburg” would be a dangerous drinking game.

27:37. There is just something about a full grown lady acting like a crab in colonial Williamsburg attire that really cracks a girl up 💀

Tbh this could pass as behind the scene for 2022 Met Gala's and I won't be mad
