the thing about Gabi's plastic surgery is that female celebrities get criticized for not being open about getting plastic surgery because they're "setting unrealistic standards", and they also (esp in gabi's case) criticized if they're too open about it because they're "setting a bad example". i'm not even a fan of gabi but women really can just never win in the eyes of the media.

[@phoebejanemiller1671]

I agree with you! Women can never seem to win and it sucks.

[@udontunderstandthebeautyof4033]

This is why I don’t bash women for not admitting to there surgeries. There probably scared there still gonna get bullied for surgery even if if they admit it.

[@marijaviskovic8811]

@@udontunderstandthebeautyof4033 there's actually not a problem with not openly saying you got surgery. especially in a society that still judges it and where you would get judged irl. there is however a problem of having an audience and denying it or refusing to answer questions, because it does set an unrealistic standard that can be harmful for an audience

[@nono562]

being open about surgery and filming the entire process are two completely different things. if she just said "yeah i've had this, this, and this done" then no one would have an issue, but filming the process and talking about surgery in a positive light to your young fanbase is problematic. if people want to know what to expect before having plastic surgery/cosmetic procedures done, they simply have to ask the doctor who's going to perform the surgery.

[@nono562]

@@udontunderstandthebeautyof4033 celebrities and influencers not being honest about surgery creates/enforces harmful beauty standards that women are expected to live up to. if they don't to admit to having work done then they should just ignore the topic and wait for all the buzz around it to go away (which it inevitably will). lying about it is wrong and teaches young girls that once they hit puberty their face will suddenly change and all of their insecurities will just disappear.

[@kooodny]

as a twin i can’t help but feel so bad for them. I literally spent middle school hating my twin because everyone saw us as one person so i went through an “opposite twin” phase too

[@madelinehong903]

i have a twin and it's like expected for twins to either be exact opposites or exactly the same and it's literally so annoying because if your not completely different it's like you have a shared identity. me and my sister literally started going to different schools just so that we could actually begin to find ourselves and be ourselves without everyone thinking of the other one when they were around just one of us

[@phoebejanemiller1671]

I have younger brothers who are twins. It seems like it’s really hard to forge your own identity when your whole life is shared. They share a room, share a friend group, share birthdays, and are always compared to each other. Being a twin must make it hard to find yourself and assert your individuality. From looking at my brothers, however, I’ve learned that twins often have more compassion and empathy, and if they can work through the hard times, they have best friends for life.

[@aleferreira4356]

Same, even though it wasn’t that strong in me, since I’m a fraternal twin. But I was always constantly compared to my brother, and that actually screwed me up mentally, principally when I was being bullied. My parents, my relatives and even my friends made me feel that if I was more like my brother, things would go better and I still have a low self esteem due to that

[@hajnalmiklos01]

i'm so osrry that happened to you. as a twin myself, i'm very lucky that my sister and i have a really good relationship, but i think the fact that our parents payed extra attention to not comparing us, really helped. they especially asked the school director to not put us in the same class for example, so we could have seperate friend groups and different teachers. if i end up becoming a mother of twins, i will for sure pay attention to things like these.

Also being called by the wrong name and "the twins". then when being corrected people get annoyed and call you the "evil twin" . Then just asking the most stupid questions ever. my sister and I never competed my parents did an amazing job of being ourselves as well as knowing that people are going to always compare you no matter what. So the fact they set up competitions for themselves was just a horrible idea. They should have not played up the twin thing so much and just tried to be individuals that just happened to be twins.

wanting to change something comes from insecurity too. What might be insignificant to us might be insignificant to them. You may have looked good when you were a teen or you might have not or even if you were not "pretty"(generally) you didn't bother and embraced it. it's not the case for everyone and you can't exoect everyone to be the same. Gabi clearly notes in her videos that she doesn't promote surgery and she did because of her satisfaction. and it's just how KZbin algorithm works, young girls dream to be rich and fancy and that just happened to be Gabi and she just happened to have a surgery which makes her feel good.

I think they should both quit KZbin honestly. I’ve watched a lot of their more serious videos where they talked about how it mentally effected them and the negatives REALLY outweigh the benefits.

They both have enough money to stay steady and went to college so they don’t need it either.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this cause Gabi once had a video talking about how she hated LA b/c people hated that she was very much a Dunkins/McDonalds girl and it's very clear that it's who she is deep down, but she tries to be fancy and it goes sideways more often than not

[@georgieee905]

I will say - Especially now I would love to see one of these on Alisa Marie, personally I think out of that lifestyle girl era/group she is now the most successful by far! While sure her content may have made a bit of a more direct change initially in the years since her burnout video she has done a really good job of cultivating a more mature audience of mid to late 20 somethings. She also to be seems to take a much more longterm and smart business approach to her main channel and works insanely hard (does editing, planning and just so much work on her content). Additionally adding her producer TK and how that elevated her content even more is really impressive, plus her vlogs are soo soo popular & her podcast with Remi (Pretty Basic) which is also a smash hit! But somehow she's always seemed to stay humble and mature - she does buy some luxury things (as she should she's earned it) BUT doesn't seem to show off in an obnoxious way

[@lauraelizabethbrown]

I noticed something with the boyfriend challenge videos where Nikki and Gabi would compete on who was the better girlfriend or boyfriend. Gabi in general would win basically all of them because Gabi and Colin would almost always give each other a 10/10 or a 9/10 at the worst. I don't think it's necessarily because they think everything each other picks in these challenges is perfect--I think it's because they're the couple that idealizes and over romanticizes their relationship. It's just who they are. Niki and Nate I think love each other just as much, but they have a tendency to think harder about how the person actually did on the challenge and give a one hundred percent honest opinion. If they thought the other person did a terrible job they would say it, but in an affectionate teasing way. I don't like that it made the twins compare each other in their relationships because to me comparing "scores" wasn't healthy or an accurate representation on how well their relationships were going. And in general all the Niki vs. Gabi challenges were like this. I noticed that they continued doing the twin vs. twin videos but they cut the scoring portion and I think it's for the best. They actually talked about how much they enjoyed the challenges and wanted to keep doing them despite what people suggested, but I think putting a number on it wasn't healthy.

@@niamhbailey8293 well when u watch her videos back then u can tell she wasn’t comfortable being a woc n i can relate to that cuz i was also like that around that time. but last time i checked on her she seems like she’s thriving so good for her! i could be wrong about all this tho but 😳

Yess I’ve been waiting for an Eva vid!

@@AngelCaz7 mmm i do hear that - her and teala used to get REALLY defensive and mad at fans who wud ask if that was their real hair when we all knew it was weaves or wigs

[@juliacaceres3538]

I didn't think I'd be able to sit through a one hour video about some KZbinr's I haven't watched since I was 13 but the amount of effort you put into this video can be seen so clearly and the result is amazing! Thank you so much, and can't wait to see more of what you create - could you do an evolution of Mylifeaseva? :)

[@zoev2363]

A video about Acacia Kersey (Brinley) would be super interesting! Her career has always been so strange to me especially with a lot of the criticism she’s gotten lately.

[@MillennialMagic]

No respect for them. Can’t believe Niki tweeted about how much anxiety the election was giving her and we all better go vote yet she didn’t even register to vote or vote, not to mention her sister’s cp scandal & fake rebrandiella. I could go on 🙄

[@bb5458]

Let’s not forget her partying in the middle of a pandemic in LA and then having the audacity to say that quarantine has been rough on her

[@MillennialMagic]

@@bb5458 exactly, great point. and Gabi throwing her engagement party & having so much fun during her “time away” aka getting her hair died & engaged. Oh and their entire circle especially Gabi’s fiancé & friends like & say the most offensive sh*t on Twitter 🙄

[@hillary5310]

@@MillennialMagic damn, what sorts of things do they say??

[@rachelpelton8404]

Yeah they really don't deserve the platform that they have. Niki, at best, deserves it over Gabi. At least she is somewhat hard working, but still the lack of maturity between those two twins combined with how problematic and toxic they are is just astounding.

[@dazzlingstar012]

woah didnt even know abt these, where did you hear about niki and the voting thing?

[@marymotch]

I’m a twin (he’s a guy) and I couldn’t imagine being pinned up against my twin like that. The competitiveness runs deep in twins.... like I was seen as the athletic one and my brother the smart one. My brother quit swimming bc I was faster then him when we were 12. Yet in hs he went back to it and for the year we were going the same times lol I did not want him to beat me. However we both swam in college. Dating was hard... I was told by some guy that he could never kiss me bc “it would be like kissing David (my bro)”. He went to an all boy school and myself the sister school, and let me tell you that hit deep bc the dating pool was not big. Plus there is so much competitiveness that comes with different miles stone like getting your drivers license, taking the sat/act, applying to college, applying to jobs post graduation, etc etc. but even things like walking, reading, who was invited to birthday parties, etc. ppl always tell me they want to be a twin, but I don’t think they realize the dark side of it

[@CaylinsCorner]

Girl I just found your channel and I am obsessed! Would love to see one of these done on a POC if you haven’t already 💕

[@autumnboekeloo]

Wow, this is SO GOOD! I started watching them when I was 15 (21 now) and it’s crazy to rewatch their journey. You really did amazing!

[@cimi1272]

Amazing vid as always, just one critique: when making a comparison to someone before and after, could you leave up an image next to you supporting your point? 41:42 you say she looks drastically different to her previous self, could you put up a before and after picture, or something like that in future? It would better reinforce your point and have some visual interest

[@smokey_glow]

Yes! Thank you for the tip! 😊

[@lolok6338]

I was thinking this too!! That would’ve been so cool. But like you said, absolutely amazing vid as always :))

[@lilycastillo1660]

Can you please do the evolution of Daisy Marquez?? She used to be everything but then lied about having sickle cell anemia so she could secretly get a BBL & somehow no one talks about it?? And she’s partying during covid and has changed so much ☹️☹️ I love your videos!!!

[@plumpy_space_princess]

Who?

[@DeeBug05]

I totally second this!!!

[@tahurahossain6012]

This channel keeps introducing me to so many random ass people🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paperigangsta]

ive never heard of this person but she did WHAT

[@thebettermariah7753]

I second this. After her and her boyfriend Alex broke up she just went down this weird Hollywood diva spiral and has never been the same since. I liked her so much better when she had Alex in her life. Been unsubscribed for years now. Even before the sickle cell lie. Shameful.

[@sabin9276]

is it just me or do i REALLY want to see a evolution of james Charles I feel like that would be interesting

[@BriTaylor]

I would love if you covered the Dolan twins! Especially now since they quit KZbin and it seemed like no one talked about it really & a lot of people say they’re boring and have the “pretty privilege”, I would love to hear your take on it!

[@SiennaMedina]

i was an ariana stan when the gabi thing happened the day ariana called her out gabi had posted a video or something copying arianas EXACT words and poses in a very odd way and ariana specifically responded to that, not just what she looked like. its somewhere on the internet

I occasionally watched some of their vids and always got the impression that Gabi was disinterested or couldn't be bothered which was always a little off putting and how many vids they've done switching bfs was also an odd choice 😂
