What other interesting subjects would you like us to cover on Get Real? Comment here!
Refinery29 you should cover a social media star, like an Instagram model, or something like that
Life of celeberties?
What's it really like to work in a nail bar?
09.25.18:: Refinery29 could you do the story on becoming a social media influencer? I’ve heard a lot about it, but what’s the hype or history of it? 💚
How about hair commercials? The model's hair always looks thick and shiny so what happens behind the scenes to make that hair look so fabulous?
“If you look good cropped, you got a career” 😂😂😂
@@notjenna4663 lmao, same though. The struggle is real.
I would be a excellent model if they cropped my face out ;--;
Wolfieowns I felt this in my soul
“There’s a *handful* of us models”

a hand model washing a knife. I respect.
Huh?
@@pleasesteponmepaulsimon5689 she means u know, taking the risk of cutting
2:24
Wait- y'all don't do that??
Bxbble • Tae I think she meant that the hand model would take the risk of hurting her hand. Her hand is literally the essence of the whole career, so it shows that she is very adventurous and takes risks.
Who else panicked when she was washing the knife?....😂😂😆😆
I wash knives like that
Me
Me. I feel like someone putting her whole career at risk and i dont want to watch that I automatically squinted 🤧😂
Yea I stopped breathing for her 😂
😂😂😂
Damn just a hand model? She could be a full on model she’s gorgeous
You’re stunning
Oh my God you're beautiful, you should be a model! 💖
CurlyB, I know other people are saying this but you’re gorgeous too, and could be a model
CurlyB irk I was thinking the same thing 😂
Look at yourself in the mirror... you’re GORGEOUS 💓
Who else wants to moisturize their hands, like right now.
Lol yes literally!
I immediately did lol
ME!
I am doing so now
😂
What a beautiful woman. Also intelligent and grounded. So refreshing.
R u from holla
Nd
Yes ❤️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 😍
1:19 "If you look good cropped, you've got a career"
I guess me getting cropped out from all my friends's picture isn't so bad after all huh?
She didn’t say that in the time stamp...
1:19*
Cupcake Cockatiels that are finally not bots!!!! 1:19
Cheese in the trap?
Oof size
*_l a r g e_*
Her hand placement is incredible. Holy shit
+bb1 100%!!
She’s a pro
Seriously, when she was hand doubling!
Her hands look better than my whole face
+ishanali LOL, same!
bitch if that ain't true
tbh
Ishan Ali saaaameee!!!!
Don’t worry, your handsome 😗
So the perfect people we see on magazines are literally perfect parts of people made to look like one person.... Bruh
Frankstein
Yo, literally so many people tell me I have gorgeous hands. Should I do it omg
You should do it. It seems cool. 😁😁
Girl yes!
Yasss
@Odell Mateo I'm sure they use black hand models sometimes lmao
@Odell Mateo Well I am caramel complexion. It's okay, I wasn't going to make this a full time thing. I have a very fulfilling job already buy wouldn't mind a side hustle lmao
She should model her whole face, she’s stunning
And her body
Well she hinted the reason why she dont do it. It allows her to be anonymous eventhough a lot of ppl see her photographs
@ByeBitch 《 everybody has a different taste, just because you dont think shes pretty doesnt mean others dont
@ByeBitch 《 She's pretty
@ByeBitch 《 damn
this hand model looks soo down to earth better then the one allure did a video on
Yeees!! I thought the same thing.
sara cvetkovska Yes! I felt so sorry for that lady. She was obsessed and felt defined by her hands imo. Too afraid to damage her hands by actually using them...as hands. Sad really.
Don't have to put someone down to lift another up. I think this lady is fantastic and relateable - but being 'obsessed' with what makes your career and supports you? That's not something to put down or scoff at, even if you prefer a laid back attitude. You wouldn't mock a painter or pianist for being precious with their hands if they were. I worked with a girl who was a hand model on the side. She got a nasty cut at work on her finger. She said that would likely be the end of that career. She had other things to fall back on, but not everyone does.
her hand and fingers is way more beautiful than the model on the allure video tho. But she still use her hand to washing or doing something without gloves..
Cause she was raised by her hippie feminist mom and her firends😊
I wanna be a hands model just to not do the dishes
There's something called "silicone dish washing gloves"
The dishes are easy.
gxthicbbyk6tty sure ?
@@schprox yes,I used it once and broke 4 dishes (coz it was slippery)
@zarah omg same i live in an african house and omg
I'm here from the Allure vid and this chick is way cooler.
Sparrow Crandall ikr same tho sksksksksks
Yup
True!!! And more beautiful hands
This girl is living her life and the other girl the other one does everything to protect her hands
@@rose-gl4io "ope, I can't do that....I'm a hand model, you know."
She’s really intelligent and self aware, she seems so cool!
Nice profile pic
raised by a feminist hippie,of course she's cool
@@sanctusignis9746 i am sorry.. what hippie means?
@@littlediphylleia8106 mmmh I was about to say Google but I think the definition there is subjective.
Basically chill spiritual people who love community,and often don't subscribe to uptight societal norms. Read up on its origin n its evolution throughout the years.
I'm curious to know how you would define it. Please reply after you've read about it 😊
@@littlediphylleia8106 I've often wanted to date a hippie man/woman...but im wary of their inclination towards mind altering substances,which I can't risk bc I'm predisposed to addiction from my maternal side. So I just admire from a distance.
Wow of all things to be insecure about, my hands have been added to my list.
Ellie same 🤣🤣😭😭🤣
Really, it took this video for you to be aware of your hands?
I liked this comment so that the likes would be 666
😂
🤣
You wouldn’t believe it but I texted her for some advice on how to begin my career as a hand model and she actually gave me genuinely good advice.
She’s such an amazing woman and I look up to her.
Hope I can some day achieve half of what you have Adele.

"I sometimes judge myself for not being deep enough." As a person who works in an entertainment industry and seeing my friends saving the planet, or debating congressman at a court and whatnot, I can relate to that sentiment a lot.
Growing up I was always told I should be a lawyer, I went into fashion and I still worry if it’s a stupid choice
@@ahhh4117 Its generally a norm that professions meant for serving people are noble. Though there is a point in this statement, I believe there is nothing wrong in pursuing a different career. I am in the medical profession because I chose to do so. If you are happy in the profession you are in, then that's completely fine as long as you keep your dignity.
Being deep or being considered deep *is* nothing. That won't make *you* happy. So get over it. Every work is worthy.
@@mishynaofficial true
Don't care about all that fam. You being awake enough to think about that shows you are "deep enough"
I genuinely adored this video, i loved the fact that she did see the funny almost absurd side of her job, but still took it seriously without drama. It was really honest. Loved it.
I couldn’t be a hand model, I have fat man hands.
Yanira Navarro ohh samee lol
+1 😂
Meeeee too 😂
True lol
me2 buddy.
Man I told my dad i wanted to be a hand model this girl is living my dream
Why handmodel tho?
@@haveanicedaythanks1570 Why not?
lol cuz they told me i had pretty hands
@@stephaniewen whats your age
Go get that coin sis
i love this girl. she’s beautiful, smart, and grounded. she’s a breath of fresh air
_Im obsessed with peoples hands since forever..._
Completely irrevelant but my name's Carolina ♡
OhCarolina_ My hands intrigue a lot of people. Some random people come to me just to ask to see them closer and compare with theirs. They say my hands are surprisingly tiny, especially my little fingers (4.5 cm - less than 2 inches long).
Why is it so obsessing?
My hands are bony lol I look like an old lady
@@carolinacute _same name!...can tell alot about peoples hands I always notice them anyway_ 💚
@@lilacpetals2006 _Ya mine too crack my knuckles which makes them look worse!_ 💚
There's another high paid hand model, but she's more snobby. She wears gloves all the time and would never let her hands see the sun. She also wont do anything (open windows, cooking) to protect her hands from scratches. Glad to see this lady can still do daily activities as usual, even gardening without worrying too much about probably risking her career
^ this
But if your entire career was based on your hands, you would want to protect them and take care of them.
@@nandinishah1709 yeah of course u need to take care of what could earn u money but all im saying is just im glad that this lady didnt try hard. Some people are just effortless and they still got the same result as the one who did the most
Allure?
@@sydneypadilla3114 yes
At 2:54 that "I" is musical lol 😂
Asra Akram I replayed that part so many times it doesn't sound like her anymore lmao
@@norceenhamdi lol ikr 😂
I'm laughing so hard rn!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jasmineflower5744 😂😂😂😂😂
Rosalinda Chase me too.
Love her humor and backstory. Very relatable individual.
She is incredibly sweet and well-mannered, I loved listening to her and unintentionally watched the whole video lol
+it'spunktattooguyagain!!!! Thanks for checking it out!! :)
Ditto😅
IT'S PUNK TATTOO GUY AGAIN!!!
Lol meee tooo Lol hahah
Lol same! I didn't expect to be pulled into a video of this sort for long, but her personality is so interesting and attractive that I just had to watch the rest! She's really cool
Her and her voice reminds me of meg from Hercules
a million times yes
YES!
OMGGGG
My goodness! Thank you for this comment!
Joey could have this life, only if his hand twin got convinced
8,07,000,00 views lol love this comment
This hand is your hand...
Meredith Kavanagh this hand is my hand😂
O wait it’s your hand
No wait, it's my hand!
2:30 her side profile is epic
2:54
Not being rude but it's quite... eh? I study the art beauty, golden ratio and all. I don't find it beautiful at all. She has a flat long face, her side profile just has a lot of flaws
› ͈̆ᴗ ͈̆ fairy Dust ๑՞ god if you saw me you’d feel insulted 😭
@@sleepsey nOOO don't get me wrong omg all faces are super duper beautiful and unique af, it's just that her side profile is not something to point out like her front view is much more attractive. Also each person has their beauty angle so dw just bc ur side profile might not be perfect doesn't make u any less of beautiful 😫💓
› ͈̆ᴗ ͈̆ fairy Dust ๑՞ NOO WAIT UR SO SWEET 😭❤️ and right i get it now LMAO it must be really fun to study! and thank you 😭
Grandma knew what was up
Sally Morcom grandmas *always* do
Now i'm insecure about my hands LOL
I've always been insecure.
Use this as a my fingers are short, my palms are big and overall just puffy button
Omg same
And biiig ugly knuckles 😑
@@Name-hp6eh lmao I can relate
SAME
ME
She’s beautiful and I love how she’s not afraid to live her life and still use her hands because I seen another video of a hand model and she would not use her hands for anything for the fear of getting them hurt/scarred
eh its whatever, some people just have tougher hands some bruise more easily.
It’s terrifying how smooth her skin is. Idk why 😂 it’s almost unnatural how smooth it looks. To maintain that must be stressful.
Cristina F Maybe She doesn’t use many things.
it could be genetics
that's not even smooth what?? have you seen asiann
Well she said in the video how she uses a lot of lotion for her hands, I don't think it's really that stressful
When she was talking about using lotion she was smothering her hands in olive oil maybe she uses it over all . Olive oil has been around centuries and has many benefits
She's awesome! I love her. She's so down to earth and a breath of fresshhhh air.
I know right?!
Among other body part models that you know of?
You’ve got to hand it to her; she has beautiful hands. 😬🤣
Lol good one!
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
🙏🙏🙏🙏Our god is here
I'm glad that someone actually wrote this 🙏
I was actually searching this comment...💅
@@ceriselunaire5445 could this women be one of my people? XD
Thank you.
her hair is goallllssssss
+farahhussain #goals
Riiiiight
she's just gorgeous overall omg
Everything about her is literally goals, her personality, her hands, her arms, her gorgeous face and hair--everything
Her everything is goals wtf
She’s beautiful older woman. Her skin overall is amazing, her nails, her hair, her face, her body, her voice?!
She’s amazing. I love her already❤️
She looks GREAT. Her hands look better than mine. Haha in going to order that hand lotion 😂
Feminism is about the right to choose :)you can very much wear lipstick and like being pretty and be feminist! It's about women not portrayed as *only* something pretty
Maybe she has realised it by now? She had this mindset because of her family, and i completely understand her family sentiment. But i hope she already realised this matter now :)
Great explanation 🤗
I think you are Talking about the fourth wave feminism or the third wave.
@@lunarcalendar368 no we talk about feminism in generell
@@heachantaeil4978 no
She seems like such an interesting person. Like I want her to write a book.
"I can be superficial or deep, it's not either or" love that
She seems like a really cool person. Also, I’ve always had an appreciation for nice hands, male and female. I myself have short, knobbly fingers with weirdly huge knuckles. Sigh.
CrunchyCrustacean i actually really like big knuckles lol. i think they’re pretty
My hand look like the hand of a 10 year old girl just with fat fingers, like you just stuck short sausages on a palm
I think they are in palm reading a philosophers knuckle? I call them witch knuckles though!
She should be a face model, leg model and a model in general. This woman looks so good
She’s so beautiful to be just a part model!
She could be a whole model 😍
her beauty inside is radiating on the outside 💖
She is amazing...so articulate and refine...I love her....not only her hands....😜
awww she has a cat and she’s a hand model !! I love how she still an have pets that can possibly scratch 🥺☺️
She seems like a really genuine person. Love how she explains things.
she’s beautiful all over ❤️
She needs to drop her skincare routine 😉
wow, she seems beautiful inside and out. she puts off this confidence many beautiful women lack.
"...we can have even conflicting parts of ourselves; I can be superficial and deep, it's not an either or." I like that :)
**this video gets recommended**
**looks at my ugly af hands** wtf-
*I LOVE her! She carries that Feminine Radiance. She’s a Goddess!😍✨*
I thought I was the only one who thought people had gorgeous hands
Why was I thinking about George Costanzas short lived hand modeling career on Seinfeld...🤣
If she gets a paper cut, her career is ruined
Nah she does other parts, plus there’s editing, and with her it could be done very well easily since they can edit in a part of her hand from a past photo to cover the part that got cut, pretty basic editing needed to cover that.
If she could have a career with hands, she can do anything even if her current career is lost.
She's smart though. She uses the money she got and invest it in something long-lasting. Skin wrinkles and age will keep on adding, but business doesn't see your youthness. If she can build her brand, she will someday quit the job with no worries.
Wait, thats what the allure girl said, right?
Also if you keep your skin moisturized and you stay fit/healthy you heal faster anyway
I love this woman!! "I've learned that we can be both superficial & deep, it's not either or". This is something I've recently been delving in to, society lets us believe otherwise(& judges you for both ends in a way). Let's just say my job is superficial in a big sense & I am prone to getting dirty, connecting with nature, love the non-material world.. but now I want it all.
MY HANdS WOULd NEVER. I HAVE ECZEMA.
Heavy Breathing Cat u got exmuh?
“ I got what?”
Same 😆
@@martagalgani1682 LMAAAAAO

This made me giggle! The modeling at the end with the fella with the glasses just tickled me!
Me now intensely analyzing my hands to see if I can be a hand model 👀
My grandmother keeps giving me compliments but she's a goddamn liar

Grandma of the year award
Her hands are beautiful and her personality is amazing.
What a humble lady. I think it’s awesome she can express herself the way she wants.
Never ever thought this job existed! Thank u refinery for introducting us about this topic
Why am I getting flashbacks of Zoolander and that hand model??
Ahhhahahaha trueee
Aye David duchovny
She’s so graceful
+gilgamesh Agreed!
Love how self aware she is, makes me aspire to be like that too
I have to watch this twice just because how mesmerized I am by this woman. She moves so gracefully.
1:49 damnnn those are some nice hands ❤️
I
am moisturizing my hands now lol
Celeny Rosales same.. I’m 23 but my hands look older than hers lmao
😂😂😂😂
She seems so nice she needs to be a full model and put her beauty out there!
Wow, she's awesome. Pretty in every way. In mind and personality, and in looks as well. She deserves no scrutiny for her job, or parts. She's flawless.
when i first saw her hands i thought she's gonna be 20 at least oml..
She is not only pretty but also have a great personally which reflects in the way she talks. KODOS!!!
Awwww she's so honest and nice.
Lots of love and have a great life ❤
Wow, she is so pretty!! Also, after she was shown hand doubling for other people and they went back to a shot of her with her hands I thought for a second that she was hand doubling with her own hand. I was like "wow, those really do look natural! Like her own hands!" And then I realized it WAS her actual hands on her actual body and I felt like a dum dum lol
Kelsey Carbary tbh her hands don’t match her face..the hands are young and different color and her face is full of botox..she’s still a good spirit tho it just don’t add up for me
@@helterskelter917 she moisturise her hands everyday
Her lotion is FANTASTIC! I have been gifting bottles to friends. It feels and smells so authenticly clean and instantly absorbs. I met Adele on a job when she was first starting this venture and I am so proud of how far she has taken this passion project of hers. I highly recommend trying her product.
Teacher: what do you wanna be when your older
Me: A HAND MODEL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always wanted to be a hand model too!👀👌love this ....she's amazing
So she ages but her hands don’t?
She moisturise
Some people put Botox to prevent wrinkles, seen it here on YT
@@linda.kuroneko5195 what does botox have to do with her hands not aging though? does she use it more on her hands than her face???
I love this video! She's so beautiful, humble and honest!
She’s down to earth, and not only are her hands pretty but also she’s freakin gorgeous
she’s STUNNING
Her hands made me want to buy everything she held. Well done
Im not the only one who look at my hand and fingers while watching..
i already looked at my hands before i clicked on this vid... the thumbnail was already made me feel insecure enough.. 😂😂😂
Yes n they are so ugly lol
She's gorgeous. Interesting video. Love how she tries not to obsess over her hands and does all the usual chores.
Like the one in allure? :)
This is so satisfying and relaxing. It felt like an ASMR video.
More evidence that grandmas are the best
