The Glorious Reign of Girlsense
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 15. 07. 2024
- Girlsense was a one-of-a-kind social and gaming experience that left a big hole in the hearts of its several million users when it shuttered in 2012. Today, I take a look back at what made it so special, featuring a site flyover, a tutorial of the incredible Fashion Design Studio, an inspection of the site's darker underbelly, and finally some speculation about how the site would work best if it was ever brought back.

I was the fake boy on many website growing up. Your assessment of fake boys playing healers now is so correct itâs scary đ
oh thank god!!! i was considering cutting that bit because i was concerned people would be like âwtf are you talking aboutâ đ
@@lispeaks no no, I'm another who can also agree xD I love healers and same
Dang I didn't know there were so many others in this boy avatar to healer pipeline with me hahaha
@@siriusthecat haha yeah boi đ€
XD apparently we all in this together being yelled at to heal people
(I also was the magic used in DND , people yelling at you to heal & fireball is a nightmare )
Legit⊠I was a fake boy for 10 years on toontown. I still feel extreme guilt for the girls hearts i broke đ. But yes im def a healer type lol.
I used enter every auction by saying âwhatâs up bit cheese?!â Just realized my nine year old self was ruining it for other people⊠sorry everyone!
this is the funniest thing Iâve read today
hyperventilating about bit cheese
no wait bit cheese is really funny, youre forgiven
i . stared at this like what is bit cheese. until i realized. i am in my 20s. help me
@@conarcoin its ok bit cheese
I was the fake boy and I am now a lesbian and a healer! thank you 2000s internet games
honestly same
Honestly same lol
I was the fake boy only some of the time and now Iâm bisexual and play flex queue
I was absolutely one of those fake boys, and I feel SO seen. I do play healers, and I did turn out to be trans masculine. Girlsense was 100% a building block in my young development and while I don't think I miss her, she'll always hold a place of respect in my heart xoxo
I was also a fake boy and I'm transmasc too, lol. This was on Animal Jam though. I never did get into the dating scene even though I really wanted to because the guilt of breaking a random girl's heart was too much for ten year old me, lmao!
the fake boy to trans/gay pipeline is real
@@crypticcorvid that's so cuteđ
@@crypticcorvid The guilt was real. I'm ftm now, but when I was a kid I would play as a boy on sites like this and I would always feel so bad about "tricking" girls into dating me.
@@crypticcorvid HEHEHE SAMESIES DUDE!! i always always alllways roleplayed as a guy, especially in those highschool rps LOL
i was a stardoll kid and never even heard of girlsense until today and now i'm a bit jealous
yeah for me, stardoll was the thing my lil sis played. stardoll was like the nicer and eventually more popular site but girlsense was wayyy more fun and cooler.
Same, both me and my brother loved. Even though VIPs made us feel poor đ„Č
Also a stardoll kid. If i knew this site also existed i wouldve eaten it up
I was a stardoll kid and discovered girlsense just before it disappeared. Im still heartbroken to this day
OMG STARDOLL
For years and years Iâve felt like I donât know what to do on the internet anymore, like I used to spend hours on their internet and then one day the only thing left to do was scroll through Facebook. Watching this and being reminded of how GirlSense really did try to make their site the only one youâd ever need makes me realize just how much I missed having an internet âhomebaseâ. Maybe itâs just because Iâm not a kid anymore but it really feels like there used to just be so much more to DO online whereas now it feels like thereâs only content to be consumed.
No I get that feeling too tbh There aren't actually sites like this anymore and it's kind of sad. The Internet low key got monopolized. It's really sad that this extremely important tool has been reduced to another money making machine. Which is why we have so few sites to exist on but it's totally legal to buy and sell citizens personal information.
I AM SO VALIDATED BY THIS VIDEO, I AM SITTING HERE AT MY GRAPHIC DESIGN JOB, OPEN-MOUTHED AND REALIZING THAT THIS WAS MY INTRO TO GRAPHIC DESIGN! I made so many emo hairstyles and invader zim inspired outfits oh my godddd!!! I was a GirlSense girlboss at the ripe age of 11!!!
I'm an art student too and I don't exactly know what job I wanna do but I might work in fashion. Girlsense was amazing it was kinda like photoshop for kids lol
@vernorexia682 hell yeah! Fashion is such fun to be involved in, although I was a graphic design student through and through, I sat in on lots of fashion lectures in college bc I was so into them
@@sydney9011 My college sadly doesn't have any fashion classes they sound so fun!
Not me reading this after going on a creative tear and designing 130 logos in less than 24hrs. Thank you for this comment!!!! I did not make the connection at all but itâs so clear!
I think you know what you need to do now.... Make another girlsense website đ
I remember the INSANELY realistic animated characters that people would make out of dresses that sold for like 999,999 G-cents in auctions. If you got one by chance in an auction with low traffic it was on par with winning the lottery đ
I remember those!! Emo SpongeBob was my favourite đ
I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS, SO MANY MEMORIES
i hope you love it and congratulations on your engagement!
Wait what....?
@@cindyscrawly1672 she got engaged to be married recently
I very much dislike you
@@mintydraws3962 That's okay! I hope you have a good day anyway!
Canât believe I made it in the video at 6:08. I remember being so young, and not really a creative person, but girlsense made me love art, and anything I could create. It was such a simpler time back then and I canât believe it shut down 10 years ago. Iâm 23 now but I still have very fond memories of this game. Thank you for reliving my childhood.
I also remember blatantly, not having many friends at school at the time, so instead of recess, I would go to the computer lab and spend hours designing on this game. it was such an outlet for me at the time. Iâm so glad your channel came up in my recommended because so far you have covered two games of my childhood that were my forms of escapism that were beloved, but fell to the wayside. Please keep up the high-quality and your sweet personality. You are a natural.
@@luvngold1 it's incredible to me that you found your own boutique on this video!! looking through all the old girlsense youtube videos it makes me really regret not learning how to record my computer screen while i was still on all these virtual worlds that i now want to talk about. these kids with unregistered hypercam didn't even realize that they were future lost media pioneers!
Do y'all remember girlsense having a playlist system thing?? like they had a huge music bank of songs from a wide variety of artists. I remember playing panic at the disco and lady gaga songs while editing my boutique lmao
I think Stardoll had the same thing
i-Dressup had something like that for boutiques, so you might be thinking of that⊠if not the Girlsense widgets mentioned in the video?
i remember ty girls used to have one!! they'd play glamorous by fergie all the time among tons of other 2000s hits !! it was my fav
There's a subreddit now r/girlsense to talk about a revival project. It's still really new but hopefully they will get enough minds together to try to bring the game back. Since the most essential assets of the game are just not available to the public anymore it will not be as easy as rewriting Club Penguin or Toontown (those assets were already archived by players before the shutdown) but I think with enough of a community together something very similar could be recreated. The more of a community exists around it the more realistic it becomes
i'm obSESSED with how you deliver content.... i'd never heard of this site but now i'm feeling nostalgic for so many other dressup worlds lost to time. plus the gaia towns music.... good LORD. where my chatterbox regs at
do you have a twitter available to follow?? i'd love to keep up with your process and reminisce about online worlds!!
iâve reserved the handle lispeaks_ but itâs empty at the moment! i quit twitter a while ago lol itâs a lot
@@lispeaks i don't blame u in the slightest fr,,,, if u ever decide to make some sort of community account and add it to your page/vid description i'd love to follow!
â@@yolklorduuuude gaia towns.... that website is just ruined rn, and I loved it so much when I was a kid :(
Girlsense was my life from 2010-2012! A few thoughts:
- After the closure, there was a user who attempted to make GirlSense 2 and it did pretty well. I canât recall the name of it rnâŠ
- There were role playing groups which were also very explicit. People got away with saying banned words by typing words that were similar enough to get the message across.
-Same goes for using the fashion design tool. If you can figure out how to shade a dress with paint splotches, then you can definitely figure out how to make adult content on thereâŠ
Thank you for this video! You have made me feel seen!
Was the "Girlsense 2" Designers Society?
i remember being a fake boy in an auction at night doing a role-play. like "i bought your ear and such your toes" đ
@@ihatethiswebsite614 YESS!!
I used to spend hours on this site manipulating the tools to get a certain look I wanted. it was NEVER as good as the popular users on the site ( i was trash). im SO glad someone FINALLY made a video on this because this site introduced me to graphic design features and opened my eyes to ways to use the internet and my computer that a lot of people didnt know how to use. I am about to graduate with my degree in computer engineering so I see where my origin story came from, lol! This site literally lives rent-free in my head all the time
Same mine was always so bad đ
I swear girlsense is what pipelined me down the graphic design career path
Had i known about this, i would have adored this game. The Style Savvy Games on the DS and 3DS were my life! I put hours on hours in them and honestly, the last one is still so much fun! It truly feels like a final game though, with all the stuff that was put into it
The first style savvy probably has my highest time spent in any game. Ive maxed out rpgs and pokemon over 300hrs, but style savvy was just so easy.
The team behind Style Savvy is making a new game! Itâs not called Style Savvy but itâs coming out later this year for Switch! The game is called Fashion Dreamer †Im so excited, I never had a style savvy game growing up đ
OMG STYLE SAVVY
holy snap. after 10 whole years of remembering the game but spending many fruitless nights on google being unable look up anything due to not remembering the name, you did it. you unlocked the final key in my memory.
FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES A VIDEO RETROSPECTIVE ABOUT GIRLSENSE. it's been quite a while since its shutdown but even as an adult i miss this site every day
your videos are incredibly well produced especially for being such a new channel. i hope to see you cover pixie hollow or cartoon doll emporium some time!! đ
thank you SO much for making that comment. i've been trying to remember the name of cartoon doll emporium for like. a decade. i thought for sure it was always going to be "that website with the prettiest dress up games i ever played"
@@sentimentalexis oh my gosh of course!! it was one of my favourites and i literally never see coverage on it! iâm still so sad it got shut down. even though iâm 24 now i still love to play my childhood games every now and then đ
GOD the number of memories I have of spending hours on Cartoon Doll Emporium...most of which was spent on the forums once I learned of their existence. Good times.
She has another channel that is asmr. So she has experience making videos. I love this new channel!
some of my most prized possessions are full page girlsense print ads from girl's life magazine. i literally have them framed on the wall above my sewing table bc girlsense was my favorite site as a kid and had a huge impact on me and def influenced me to make and sell clothes in real life :'^) one day i hope we can get girlsense back up somehow...
I was a fake boy growing up (until figuring out I'm actually trans) and man oh man did I feel called out. You just had to hit me with the "you probably play healers now"
The production values are outta control! I wasn't ready for the hair crafting scene. đđđ€Ł This Girlsense site had some truly complex outfit editing! Incredible to see the level of sophistication of it. Here's hoping you and Girlsense's many other fans are designing away sometime soon in a remake. I was never much of a fan of Flash games because to me the controls always felt "soft" and a bit frustrating. Steve Jobs' "Thoughts on Flash" was one of my favorite things to ever be posted to the internet (my bookmark to it is just a dead link now unfortunately). But Flash sure did enable some of the greatest wonders of the early internet, including Girlsense and its unbelievably intricate editor. This video essay was the perfect introduction to Girlsense, both informative and entertaining (I was either smiling or laughing through the whole thing). These essay videos really show what you're capable of as a content creator Lilly, really good job on this one! Favorite moment: 10:33 đ€Łđđ€Ł đââđ€©đ€©ââđđđđ
Thank you so much Daryl, this channel has been growing quickly the last few days and that has been very encouraging
Yesss I loved this game! My thing was to make goth-looking dolls and stuffed animals by pasting those cute teddy bear decals over tote bags, and then cutting them out (much like how people made the shapes of hair), then going ham on the coloring settings and other tools to give them stitches and Coraline-style button eyes. I once got on the front page for using the tools to make my boutique look like the Power Puff Girls, and got completely overwhelmed with mail.
I still use a lot of the design skills I learned here as an artist. I wish there were still cool and creative kids social media websites like this.
I would love to see you cover Cartoon Doll Emporium! I was so obsessed with it as a kid and was so sad when they shut down the virtual world aspect of the site.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who was obsessed with CDE!!! I loved making my profile, avatar, raising a baby. It was so fun and I've never heard anyone talk about it.
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone was going to bring up CDE! I hadn't heard of girl sense till this, but it seems very similar to CDE. The basic social apects, the mini games, fashion focus, so so similar
i was looking for a comment about CDE! i missed the GirlSense craze, but i was all about CDE for years. there was endless content on that site, i miss it so much
@@tinydeers I miss CDE too! I haven't been able to find anything quite like it today. The closest thing I've found is Everskies and, while the dress-up aspect of it is amazing, the social aspect just isn't the same.
Logging onto girlsense on a friday after school as a kid is one of my favorite memories. I used to spend HOURS at the computer updating my boutique while talking to my friend on the phone while she worked on hers. We would get so scared when a stranger would enter the auction chat and we wouldn't speak to them or weâd leave the chat haha. I loved the camp rock store so much- I totally forgot about it until you mentioned it in the video. I honestly had no idea how vast the site was. I remember some of the mini games or extra features but I really had no concept of how much was available at the time. When you brought up the graphic design elements of the site it kinda blew my mind because I never saw it that way when I was creating stuff, but it was totally a precursor to my love of graphic design today. I create graphics all the time for work or personal projects, so it's pretty crazy to see that come around full circle.
I miss my boutique and I wish I could see it. I have no memory of how I left it, but I'm sure it was something kinda silly and cute. Thanks for making this, it brought back a lot of good memories. :)
I love this genre of video, I'm really glad more people have been cropping up to talk about these kinds of games because they are very underrepresented!
This site was a big reason why I'm a graphic designer today. LOL
This unlocked soooooo many buried memories. Basically everything you listed in the site overview had me going "OH OH OH I REMEMBER THAT!!" I spent ages on the make-a-wish board. If I recall correctly, the polls weren't too censored either; you couldn't put curse words in the questions or anything, but it didn't seem like anyone was moderating them, either. I DISTINCTLY remember putting up a poll asking if anyone ever wanted to be a boy, which in hindsight was really heavy-handed foreshadowing me being queer, lmao. I could never get the hang of the design tool, but I spent hours playing all the minigames. I didn't know about any of those big sites of flash games (except for girlsgogames and everythinggirl - God, I miss everythinggirl), so GirlSense was where I went to play all my platformers.
In hindsight the aesthetic was totally all over the place and lowkey ugly, but honestly for me that's part of the charm. The early-to-mid 2000s were pretty zany in terms of fashion, and it felt like all the websites were trying to figure out wtf they were even doing in terms of graphics. The patchwork look of the site is very nostalgic for me.
for ages i was trying to remember the name of this site, nobody else i speak to played this but i was obsessed with it! mind making forum polls for random topics like 'who is the hottest emo singer'. thx for covering this and unlocking some nostalgia xx
i have NEVER seen anyone talk about girlsense let alone kiddonet! Kiddonet was a HUGE part of my childhood- not sure anyone but me will care about this, but my mom worked at a summer camp for an all girls' school, so i usually got to fool around in the computer lab where i played tons of kiddonet & neopets. they're such a huge part of my childhood but i feel like no one ever talks about them!!! i think SO often about the bubble popping game that was on the loading screen to the cartoon dolls...
thanks for talking about 'feminine' children's media that is now lost to the world. i watch a lot of lost media youtubers and so many of them disregard things like these sites.
i found your barbiegirls video yesterday and was hit with a massive wave of nostalgia!! i played that game obsessively as a kid and was glad to know it wasn't just a fever dream haha. i never visited girlsense, but this video is so interesting and well-researched!! cannot wait to see what you cover next! (i-dressup maybe? i feel like i'm the only person alive who remembers that website...)
ok holy shit i thought i've never heard of girlsense before but that manicure game just unlocked a memory, oh my god. thank you
I am digging through my memory here, but back in the early 2000âs you used to be able to access a few Girlsense games through AOL/KOL. I specifically remember playing the makeup and nail games over and over. All other parts of the site were paywalled, and then those games became inaccessible too. Watching this video was wild for me because I had no idea girlsense existed passed this payed model!
was not expecting to be hit with cult of the lamb at 4:54. what a gamer you are, li
Wowww memories came flooding back with those Make-up Girl screenshots. I would always make a red haired girl with green eyes and green eyeshadow.... I was a HUGE kiddonet user around 2002, mainly the games, sad that it's lost to time... shouts out to Super Kid and Nobby Nuss
i really wish those games were backed up! i played them a lot when i was young and would have loved to do it again. iâve certainly broken out the stylinâ stuff games more often than just to record them
Imagine the cosplays people could make in a modern day version!!
I hope this site returns one day just so I can experience one more time. It had an interesting culture about it that was so unique to this site only. I know nothing about fashion but I remember I would design t-shirts and people loved them at action. I spent hours selling, chatting, going to another auction. The positive atmosphere was essential for my self-esteem during my preteen and young teen years.
I won a ipod from a girlsense contest, it was the best site for creating things next to Polyvore.
Polyvore thatâs another core memory. I remember getting girlsense inspo from there back in the day
Memories were unlocked by this video, holy crap.
I remember briefly playing girlsense, but another game that was similar and that I was super obsessed with was called Roiworld. I was SUUUUPER obsessed with the Roi dress up games, so when I heard they had a dedicated site + the whole fashion designing aspect, I was a dedicated member.
woah, i actually didnât know they had a fashion designer? iâll have to look into that, i loved roiworld games
OH MY GOD OR WAS IT STARDOLL?? I DONT REMEMBER ANYTHING CLEARLY AHAHAEHGERAHAE
haha thatâs reasonable, thereâs a lot of overlap in these games and i still donât even know for sure if roiworld had a fashion designer game or not
OH MY GOD ROIWORLD THAT TAKES ME BACK
@@Ninitendo oh my god, YOU UNDERSTAND ME
Man, I miss Girlsense. I think it's kind of interesting that when I was a kid, I loved designing my own fashion on this site. Now my main source of income is basically designing clothes for an avatar forum website. Some things never change I guess
im so sad im only hearing about girlsense now ! i very much stuck to the same few websites as a kid so i missed a lot of stuff i wouldve fallen in love with, but i love hearing about all the things i never got to experience now and feeling an odd nostalgia for them. i am loving your videos so far, keep up the brilliant work ! : ]
HI I JUST WANNA SAY FROM THE FIRST TWO VIDEOS YOU'VE BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE CREATORS!!! It's really hard to find good video essays on fem aligned media and your stuff is hitting the spot pretty well, can't wait to see more from you! (Also the Lisa ost caught me so off guard but it's nice to hear someone add one of my favorite tracks)
I completely forgot the name of this site after I stopped playing it but I was obsessed with this as a kid!!!!! I thought Iâd dreamed up the perfect website until I clicked on this video - thanks for covering it!!!
Ugh I loved GirlSense as a young teen! I don't even remember how I found it, and almost forgot the name of the site altogether. I was absolutely in the emo/scene crowd, and mostly created cute little cupcakes to put in my boutique. One time I even got on the front page. :')
My sister and I were actually frequent users of the site pre-2007. Features like the e-boutique stayed mostly the same, however the biggest feature that got a complete overhaul was the fashion studio itself. It used to be a lot more limited, the clothing templates were either pixelated photo-realistic or much more cartoony, the stamps and accessories you could add would always look like a flat collage against the shaded background of the piece you applied them to, and there were only so many combinations you could come up with. Honestly as a kid I didn't spend much time on it until the switch, when they brought in the updated version you see in all of the tutorial videos on youtube. The whole environment was so much more immersive. The different manequins to choose from, the minimalist background, the new fabrics, the stamps, and the cutouts were all so inviting and the different blending modes that could be applied to each detail piece made it easier to sell the idea that you were creating an actual article of clothing instead of layering random pngs over a preexisting image of a shirt or dress. I still go back and rewatch the tutorials every once in a while for the memories. No other website I've seen ever came close to the amount of customization afforded to you as girlsense. I really wish someone would come along and make something similar, even if I had to pay a couple bucks a month to play it.
I am at least a decade (probably more) older than you, but it was popular enough that you may remember it, but i would totally love to see your summary of Neopets. Years of my childhood were spent caring for my âdigitalâ pets đ
oh my god when i saw this on my recommended page i got so many memories hitting me all at once. i wasnt a very social kid so most of what i did was focus on creating the most awesome e boutique i could. my goal was always to get on the front page and i even managed to achieve it once..... i wish i still had screenshots of what i created and remember other creators i had met... thank you for letting me remember these wonderful memories
âUploaded 1 minute agoâ? How did I happen upon this at this exact moment? Lol
I'm so sad that my young self never knew about Girlsense, I can tell from your video that I would have LOVED it.
fantastic job once again! your editing and narrative storytelling is sublime (and also has me cackling at times)! for all the virtual worlds and avatar customization games iâve played iâm sad that i missed out on this one. kudos, canât wait for your next video!
Found your channel today and had to watch every video, i love them
This is like an unlocked memory for me! My friends and I would switch between GirlSense and Polyvore to make outfits for our Harry Potter OCs. SO much fun. Thank you for necromancing GirlSense back into my brain - I've sent this video to my friends haha!
Omg let me tell you how OBSESSED I was with Girlsense. I was determined to make the coolest, most realistic looking clothes like some of the other shops. Then they added the branded clothes and I was even more obsessed. Rip Girlsense. Horrible and amazing all at once
Would you ever consider doing a video on the old Bella Sara website? Itâs a game from the 2000s that was technically up until the death of flash, but was slowly breaking down ever since 2013 when a huge site glitch made it so that you couldnât create a new account (and thatâs when the OG company went defunct). I miss it dearly :(
As soon as I saw that intro making the "wig" I had so many memories flood back lol
i've been casually watching your videos from time to time but what convinced me to truly commit and subscribe to you was this exact moment 10:30
I never played on Girlsense, but the design function (especially the hair!!) reminds me so much of Stardoll! I was so pissed as a young player that I didn't have any of the cool hairs the other players had, but then I learned how to make them myself lol
I like how CZcams has been suggesting some really good channels lately. This video unlocked a memory with me
i was convinced no one else remembered this site, i LOVED it. i found this video in my search for nostalgic GS videos! made my day, thankyou
Why are you so spot on with the 'Fake boy to Healer" Analysis
I miss girlsense :/ seeing some of the old design patterns and fabrics in this video made me so nostalgic
i truly felt my hidden memories unlock at the nail-painting noise and the creepy eyes on the make up game
I came here to talk about the awesome background music you pick- itâs like fun little Easter eggs! At the same time I canât comment without talking about how awesome your content is in general. Not only the topics and the visuals, but your personality just pulls everything together! You have a vibe that makes it feel more like Iâm hanging with an old friend than a random CZcamsr. Youâre awesomeđ
omg your editing keeps getting better and better, I can't wait to see what you'll make next!!!
I absolutely love these video essays! It's like unlocking a part of my childhood that I've completely forgotten about over the years, and now that I'm seeing it again, I miss those times. I also really love your video style! :)
Iâm so glad Iâve wandered onto this little corner of the internet. Your videos are so amazing and I canât wait for whatâs to come :))
Iâm so glad your first video popped up in my feed this morning and that you have another one đđđ
Your little channel is so comforting and Iâm excited to see where it goes from here
youâve yet again unlocked a deep memory, great video! đ„șđ
i cant believe this is such a new channel!! you are already becoming one of my favorite youtubers and i can't wait to see more from you!!
iâm so happy this channel is doing so well!!â€
ive only watched like 2 of ur videos so far but im obsessed with the way u edit, and these videos are pretty informative and funny. ive never played girlsense but god i wish i did when i was younger!! have a nice day ^_^
just saw your first video and had to check this out! already a fan of the channel!
I've been waiting so long for a Girlsense deep dive, no one else has covered this thank you omg
Iâm proudly stating now that Iâm hooked đ girl I even thought youâve been on CZcams forever, your production value and editing are everything!! đ
Your videos are so nostalgic and kind of cosy and comforting? Takes me back to a simpler time, I love it. Youâre already one of my fave CZcamsrs đș
ohhh god i miss this game so much and i'm so glad to see someone else talk about it!!! i've just found your channel and i think you're my new favorite.
After seeing all your videos up to this date, I'm starting to keep track how many BGMs you use that I recognize. There's Splatoon, Pokemon, Katamari, Miitomo, and Fur Fighters too, which I'd never thought anyone would use.
Only thing more impressive than your choice of BGM is the quality of your videos. Keep it up!
(Bonus points for using #8 Regret)
Hi Li, thank you for taking the time to have captions on your videos, despite being new to essays. I love your content so far and am inspired by it :)
Wow, this unlocked a hidden memory. I almost forgot that I spent much of my childhood playing this game. Such good times.
Omg! Just discovered your channel and your videos are amazing! So nostalgic and well presented! NEW FAV CHANNEL!!! Keep it up
So i just recently found your channel and have since binge watched every video. I adore the content you create. The humor, the passion and understanding for the preservation of media, others often dismiss as unimportant is Wonderful and endlessly entertaining!
Gosh I remember this website but not because I ever played it⊠my older sister did, sheâs 11 years older than me and I distinctly remember going to her apartment and watching her play. I wanted to play it myself but she said it wasnât a kidâs game so I never got to play. I thought it was so cool that you could sell your designs to real people.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A VIDEO ON THIS GAMEEEEE I WAS OBSESSED!!! Sorry for yelling. but oh my god. The ways you could create things in this game really geared me towards digital art i swear.
Also fake boy clubbbb
I was surprised to see that you were a new CZcamsr- you're doing great! I actually audibly laughed a few times and your presentation catches my attention :0
This brought back a very vivid memory of the pit that I felt in my stomach the day I went to log in and the page was gone haha. Thank you so much for validating this experience of mine and so many others. Your deep dives are so necessary đ
Oh my god đđđ I loved Girlsense so much. My signature design was a tank top coloured to look like the book cover for New Moon. Very reliable source of gcents.
literally never been so early to the creation of a youtubers channel lol, loving your content so far pls keep it up!! đ also as a side note iâve been eyeing a shirt JUST like your two toned pink one in the last video for a few weeks and i think iâm convinced to get it now, itâs so cute!! đč
ugh the algorithm popped off with this recommendation because this is exactly the kind of games I was on as a kid đ and your videos are so well produced for a newer channel. I'm so excited to see where your channel goes !!!!
Iâve been searching for the name of this site for years. It was my childhood. It developed who I am. I remember crying the day the shut down announcements began.
Absolutely feel blessed by your videos! New favorite channel
Omg I just discovered your channel and you unlocked a memory from late middle school to early high school. I just spent hours on this website trying to get better at the design tool. But seeing those makeup games bring back such memories!
I've never played any of the games/sites that you've covered so far but I can't help but to be sooo fascinated lmao
I love your channel, looking forward to your future videos đ
ahh! I've been WAITING for someone to make a video on this site! my best friend and I were absolutely obsessed with it, and I genuinely think the fashion design tool was something that really got me into graphic design later on in life.
The midi part was hilarious đ Iâm so glad I stumbled upon your page! Iâm subscribing. Hope to enjoy more of your content and fun commentary!
i got really surprised hearing pascal's theme and i really thought my playlist started for some reason!!! amazing taste in music and very interesting video as always!! keep up the good work!!!
