The recipe for my creepy cocktail which I’ve hidden in the description instead of helpfully including it in the video:
2 cups peach puree
1 quart apple juice
2 handfuls grapes
12 plastic spiders
1 oversized chunk of dry ice, causing the bowl to overflow
4 scoops peach GFUEL use code HORSEGIRL gfuel.ly/2Gb3HS6

LAUREN: When the Queen returns from her crafts, I'll tell her the truth. You must be gone by then - you _and_ your friends, I will _not_ have their glue on my hands. Go as far away as you can, with as many men as you can. Because wherever you go, Thea's wrath will follow you. NICOLE: And what of _my_ wrath, Lauren? You should have taken the series for yourself. Alyissa told me about the day Party 101 fell: she was holding the Iron Fitting and you made her give it up. All you needed to do was pick it up yourself. Such a sad mistake. LAUREN: I've made many mistakes in my life, but that wasn't one of them. NICOLE: Oh, but it _was_ . When you play the game of homes, you win or you D.I.Y. There is no middle ground.

Nicole is showing her the ropes, warning her to stay away from alcoholic Lauren. One day, Nicole is late so Thia offers to do a test shoot for one of her videos...

LMAO at this! I worked at Hallmark when they started making these videos. As per everything at Hallmark, I think the project began with the best of intentions and devolved into a morass of rapidly shifting strategic directions that rendered the entire content strategy DOA. Fun fact: At the time this video was shot, Nicole was either No. 2 or No. 3 Creative Director in all of Hallmarkland. Hence the awkward power dynamic with the other folks in the video who are obviously super nervous about saying the wrong thing.

[@ruthsagers1714]

That REALLY helps shed some light on the general dynamic here. AND makes more sense for the Lauren/Nicole dynamic - Lauren DOESN'T seem nervous about being around her. And I don't think Nicole likes that...

A rather late addition but I have an answer for why the “I like wine bottles-“ “NO NICOLE NOT WINE BOTTLES” moment happened!! so thousands of people have posted a version of this diy, because humans have been putting oil in bottles and lighting it on fire for thousands of years, and several diys I’ve seen have said to avoid wine bottles because they’re tall. Taller bottles are harder to see over, so they’re not suited for putting on a table, but they’re also narrow around the base, so they’re easier to knock over. Most diys recommend a sturdy-based and squat glass bottle, like one for whiskey (or tequila), for the project.

As someone who... totally DOESN'T work at a Hallmark store, I thought this video was incredible. All of the Hallmark product popping up in the videos is sending me. I had a lady today who was incredibly disappointed that I didn't have a Halloween card addressed to a cat. I also once had a man ask me where to find a valentine's card for his wife who was having an affair and he wanted a card to tell her he knew about her affair, ON VALENTINE'S DAY. He then tried to record a message to her in a recordable card, without paying for the card, at the cash register and when I told him he needed to pay for it first he told me to shut up. He, however, had such a thick drawl that he couldn't get out more than a sentence before the card cut him off. His message will forever stick with me. It was "Dear Wife, Be Mine, and No One Else's. Love, [His Name]". He finally did pay for the card (after ruining another card in the process).
