Let's Chat- Plus Bonus Q&A

[@VintageView]

Hi, Laci, you do not need to apologize to us for having sponsored videos. I feel blessed to have your videos and you also are entitled to be reimbursed for some thing that you do whether it is a hobby or a second job. No explanations needed and you are wonderful! Time is valuable and ideas are just as enjoyable whether sponsored or not. I am so glad that you and your former husband worked it out to have a great friendship; that is so important and says a lot about both of you! Love to Mr. Johnny Cash, and the other kitties.❤️💛💚💙🧡

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Thanks so much. I sure appreciate your kind words.

[@tiffanyschuna3484]

So sorry about your divorce. I can't imagine how tough it is having to share that with KZbin. All you can do is live your best life for YOU! Sending you all the love 💘

[@Soniawithani]

Honey, I think it is so sweet that you are explaining your sponsored/non sponsored video situation, but I don't think you owe anyone an explanation. You do you honey. You have had quite a year sweet lady. I will add you to my prayers. You were such a light for me in such a dark time, and I appreciate that so much, I hope to pay that back to you. May God bring you comfort and continue to bless you. Hugs and happy thoughts.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

You are so sweet. That means the world to me. Thank you.

Sponsored videos are a small price to pay for your positive content. You've inspired me to go to the thrift stores again and I have been having a ball looking for Halloween decorations. Thanks for sharing your divorce news. I have been divorced and I know how complicated all the feelings around that can be. You seem to be approaching the situation with an abundance of love and kindness, so I hope you find that much love and kindness for yourself going forward.

[@sabrina9333]

Well said 💔 took the words right out of my mouth. 😢

[@sharonsmith583]

I love your vintage neighborhood and love that you share it with us. So sorry about your divorce. Glad everyone is doing well. So glad you have sponsorships and I hope you get more!! You deserve it!

[@creativequince]

Thank you for sharing a difficult part of your life, Laci. And I hope YOU are feeling safe and loved! Big hugs!

[@staywayout]

I feel bad if people were complaining about the sponsored videos. If they didn’t want to watch they could have fast forwarded that part. I love your content and appreciate all the work you put into it. You deserve to be compensated for that time and effort. I’m rooting for you to make KZbin a full time job eventually 💜

[@susanbaker2796]

Sponsorship is just apart of KZbin. There is a cost associated with creating content. And that doesn't even address the HOURS it takes to edit the videos. In the end, these videos don't produce themselves. It would not have occurred to me to comment about such a thing. It's how KZbin allows creators to make money from this "job". Laci, you did a good job explaining. I appreciate your content. I love your content.

[@francesmalzahn9994]

Why would anyone question it? I'm genuinely curious. It doesn't take anything away from the videos so I don't get it.

[@alisonbeiko2050]

I know us “Vintage Neighbours” are with you on this rollercoaster ride called Life. A big virtual hug and you are in our thoughts. The positive vibe you give me in this somewhat dark time means the world to me. Xoxo

[@michellemcnew3762]

It's very sad that you have to ask for no negative comments. I am so glad you two can have a good relationship. I very much enjoyed your video. I watch a few others and I always refer to you all as "my KZbin girls". I just feel like I know you all and you are all family. Sending you lots of hugs and love from Arkansas.

[@amyweaver7413]

I’m thrilled to hear you, your exhusband and son are all doing well despite the divorce. Bravo to you for that - your son will certainly reap the benefits of having such grounded parents. And I don’t mind sponsored content - I agree that it is a lot of work to make these videos and you should be able to benefit from your hard work. We all trust your integrity vintage neighbor. ❤️

[@natalib633]

Laci, so sorry about your divorce, but I’m glad you still have a good relationship. Thank you so much for this video and all your videos. They have helped me be confident in myself and got me through a difficult year. I love seeing all the kitties! ❤️

[@tiffanyschuna3484]

I love your content and how you've inspired me to dress vintage. So I have ZERO problem watching sponsored videos to help support you. You're awesome! Keep it up!

[@videojames01]

My mom and dad are getting divorced too, and I think it's for the best. It was a little hard in the beginning, but it does get better. Sometimes things just don't work out, but you all still love each other and that's what matters ❤

[@analymtz4753]

I don't know why, but this makes me feel so sad, even when I know that you're a strong and happy woman. I feel like I know you in person, you're very important in my life, I admire you for the way you deal with the problems and for your eternal smile. 💗👏

[@susanbaker2796]

Laci, Thanks so much for this video. Glad to know you are okay! And yes, I support what you said, we do not need to know reasons or details. Hang in there.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Thanks so much!

[@_what._.]

I'm just so, so happy to see that there are people like me that love so much vintage stuff. And also, I didn't know these old days, but I still love them.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Ahh yes!

[@_what._.]

@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor Oh, thanks for answering ! 😀

[@jannier9766]

I don’t mind sponsorship here because you’re so authentic. I am sorry you have been going through difficult times. Divorce is sad, but sometimes it just is best. I admire you remaining friends and still having love. You are such an inspiration in so many ways. I’m always touched by how you end your videos- wishing everyone feels safe and loved. It always feel teary when you say that.

[@chrisallen7911]

Laci Fay, I am so sorry you are going through a hard time. Know you are really loved and admired by so many. You bring us so much joy!

[@WithLoveKristina]

So proud of you for all of the growth and change you have gone through this last year, my lovely friend! And YES get that sponsorship money! I think it's great that you've gotten to have so many!!! Love you!

[@ritchiezand1236]

Never apologize for getting paid or composited my friend! You are so lovely, I feel blessed to have an Angel such as yourself making fabulous videos!

I wore my Grandmother's dresses from the 50's when I was in high-school in the late 80's. I love your style!

[@missamy6403]

Hi Lacy! ❤️ First of all, thank you for sharing such a personal information, you didn't have to but me, as everyone of us, really appreciate this. Divorce is something personal and difficult so thank you. And beside of this, I always love your videos, keep going! Love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️

[@jaredgraywest]

You poor thing. Even without the pandemic, this has been a rough year for you. My family and I love your videos and we're all pulling for you!! ❤

[@LionsGateCorp]

Kindness, compassion and positive energy are so easily shared with the girl next door. It's simply life and you're walking though another door into exciting new adventures.

[@StacyL.]

As you may see, I comment throughout your videos, and I'm just now hearing about your separation from your husband. I've been through it twice. Every divorce is different, so I'm not going to tell you that I know what you both are going through. Just know I have you in my thoughts and thank you for sharing that when all of us when clearly you don't have to. Much love to you, Laci.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I appreciate that. Thanks so much!

[@addicted367]

Sorry to hear that. Prayers to you 🙏 Laci

[@connie6545]

Always be true to yourself, Laci! Divorce can be hard and heartbreaking. I have been through it myself. The years we had were learning years. We became and stayed close. You CAN'T throw away that time! Considering that your son is in his teenage years, I think it's wonderful and admirable for the family unit remains close--it's the beauty of life!! God bless, girl! 💖🥰🙏

[@veronicaneal899]

You’re an amazing person and are one of my favorite KZbinrs!! Your content is awesome regardless if it is sponsored or not.

[@janet7672]

Thanks for answering my question. I enjoy watching your channel and admire your style! Your private life is yours and I respect that. I hope you enjoy the hankies I sent!❤️

You are loved, Laci. I belong to a few tablescape groups. I love, love a pretty table! Would you consider doing a vintage tablescape, please?

[@karenbransome6978]

Bless you Laci. You work so hard to bring us content, which we view for free. Girl needs to to live and if you need to do sponsor videos then that ok with me. Sorry for your divorce and I am happy that you are all moving forward in a positive way. Wish you all the best. Love you and your videos xx Hugs from Surrey England xxx

[@caspersbestfriend]

My husband heard you say, "hi Johnny Cash" and immediately said, "the cat"? Lol!

[@donnap5699]

I'm in lockdown yet again in Melbourne Australia and your videos are so calming and have helped me so much xx

[@sunshinesue4131]

I actually guessed a divorce was going on a while back as I saw the signs…you didn’t mention your husband in your videos anymore, you had a huge weight loss, and you mentioned you had been suffering emotionally. It’s not something I would ever asked you but now that you confirmed it, I just want to say I’m sorry for what you have gone through!

[@donnakerstiens9899]

Just now seeing this Laci… LOVE your channel No Matter What!❤️❤️💙💙

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Wow, I didn't expect to hear this! I'm glad you are ok and so happy you are working through this. Life sure is a journey with lots of ups and downs. Keep staying positive sweet girl, we love you! 💜💟💖

You're a strong woman. You already have gotten through the toughest part of the divorce and you seem to have made peace with each other. You should be proud. You're doing awesomely. I've been there it will get better even if it already has. Love you, Girl. I'm looking forward to more of your fun videos. Keep em coming.

[@juliebayliss8167]

Hi Laci, Thank you for your videos, I love watching you. I'm sad to hear about you and husband, but I'm sure it wasn't a decision you came to lightly. If this decision means you are both happier that is all that matters. Take care and keep sharing your lovely vintage world xxx

[@christinetrewin9717]

I too have recently transitioned my hair colour after many many years and many colors. I decided during confinement ,here in France ,to go natural. Surprise surprise I love it, salt and pepper grey and white, with amazing white wings aka Mortician of Adams family fame. Not sure what the family think but who cares I love it. Love your channel please keep on doing you !

[@KP-gw5zv]

sorry to hear what happened between you and your husband. Thank being said it is enjoyable to hear that you both are still best friends and are able to hang out together as well as work together. I am not offended about the sponsorship that you share on your videos. Whatever helps you get to your goal as this being your mainstream full time job then go for it. I am also amazed that you are able to share your life with us. You are an awesome lady and I just love your videos. You have inspired me to go for the era that I love which is the 50s' so a big thank you. Have a wonderful day.

[@annprince5218]

I'm all for watching a few ads to help my favorite KZbin channels out any way I can. I'm a teacher and had to put my lessons on video this past year. I don't know how you do it and still produce such entertaining and interesting videos all the time.

[@MichelleH1791]

Hi Laci! Great Q&A. Divorce is never easy and it is so private. Having been divorced after many years of marriage, I can empathize and am glad to hear you are able to have a good relationship. That will be a true blessing to your son and yourselves. I desperately wanted to dress in the 1950's style in HS. It would not have been that difficult to find the clothing I suppose. It just didn't happen. I attempted to make a Poodle skirt in my home ec class, which was a failure. But I was obsessed with 50's style. I did cut my hair to look like Marilyn Monroe's. If my mother had let me, I would have bleached it. LOL. Do you Laci. Collaborating with sponsors is a sound way to grow your channel. Best of luck and I hope you are able to one day soon make this your full-time job. I think you are fantastic and enjoy all your topics.

[@karengreen2437]

I’m a month late on this video-admittedly I just came upon you a little over a week or so ago. I have binge watched as time allows. I’m thankful for your content as I too am a person who loves the whole vintage life-the 50’s are the time I should have been that young housewife I always say. So seeing your finds, your Pyrex collection, and all has been a highlight! As for sponsorship-no worries. A lot of people do sponsorships. I’m thankful you just want to keep going and bringing us videos. Be blessed!

[@ShrimpPirates]

Hi Laci - I’ve been watching your channel for sometime now and so enjoy your down-to-earth presentation. So sorry about your divorce but glad that you and your husband have been able to remain friends. Sending you lots of love!

[@ritahowton6545]

You are an inspiration to me as I discover my inner vintage self. I could tell the announcement of your divorce was difficult for you. However, I'm happy to hear you, your son and ex are doing okay as you navigate through this tough time. I enjoy your videos very much. All my best.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

Laci, you don't need to explain to us about the sponsors. It's all good. Even Mindy Minx has them and it's understandable since KZbin is her only income. No worries. You rock any way!

Laci, you are such a breath of fresh air, you make me smile everytime I watch you. Many Blessings

I’ve loved watching your hair color changes! I am always changing mine too. Have you ever noticed that with red hair dye, it’s the fastest color to fade? But when you’re trying to get the red out, it holds on for dear life! 😁

[@donnerdonner315]

Oh Laci....you are the most gracious hostess to all of us here in the vintage neighborhood community! Sponsored videos are just part of the KZbin game for receiving the fabulous content you share. Never feel bad about that or that explainations are needed...we all LOVE YOU here in our vintage neighborhood!!! I have been down the divorce road myself (my son was barely 3 years old at the time mine happened....he's turning 27 years old next week....YIKES...LOL!!). So glad to hear you are still friends with your ex, because it really is better to be on friendly terms in the long run! Your son will really benefit from it...I know mine did! Stay strong, stay positive, and stay YOU!!! All us vintage neighbors are here for you and we love and support you!!!

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

My husband and I have become obsessed with KZbin channels revolving around chateaux in France and the people renovating/restoring them. Great way to burn up a lot of time and fantasize about a life we’ll never have.

Hello my dear Laci. I want to tell you how much you are loved. We your vintage neighbors treasure you and will always be supportive of you. I’m so sorry for your recent struggles and difficulties but very glad that you’re in an amicable place. Please remember to take care of yourself. Also please put as many sponsors as you’d like in your videos. We’re very grateful for you will always enjoy watching your videos. You are loved. ❤️

[@poppy5986]

Hi Laci, i was sorry to hear of your divorce. My ex and i are good friends too, and have been for over 10 years now. I don't have a problem with any sponsors in your videos. Other channels that i watch have sponsors, and the products are in keeping with the genre of the channel. I have naturally red hair, that goes strawberry blonde in the summer, and here i am dying it bright red instead!! LOL! Three of my other favourite KZbin channels are Jennifer from 'A Vintage Vanity'. Jennifer is really funny, and she does great videos, vintage hair styles, vintage sewing, and shows jewellery and clothes she has purchased. In fact, i discovered your channel through Jennifer, as she mentioned you in one of her videos. And I love Rachel Maksy too. She's so creative, and very funny. And Christine from 'The Glambassador'. Christine's focus is more on 1930's and 1940's styles, but she has some really interesting segments, and shows how to style hair and clothes. Sending you and your kitties lots of love from me and my kitties!

[@katharineboyd2793]

As a fellow divorcee, I both welcome you to the “club” and am very sorry to hear that you had to join it. Sometimes it’s the only choice that makes healthy sense for all of the parties involved. When I went through it, someone told me that “it’s the best worst thing that you could ever do for yourself.” I wish all of you the very best and, I must say, all credit to you and your ex-husband for remaining the dearest of friends! I salute your brave honesty with yourselves and with one another. May you keep your beautiful friendship as you learn your new way forward. 💜🕊💐
