Jelssievision Episode 5, Season Finale!

Unveiled! What to say, what to say... it's a special episode with extra length. A lot of introspection, some puzzlement, and a beautiful backdrop. Thanks for watching, and thanks Bec!

Jelssievision Episode 4!

Bec has made another Jelssievision! She is so good to us. Hug her when you see her.

We met up on the long weekend at Lakota Trading which is a second hand stuff shop with a coffee machine and baked goods. So all of that furniture you can see is for sale!

We proudly present episode four. It's my second favourite I think.

• How to tell someone they have food on their face.
• Obsessions: snacking (rant), hats (rant), lipstick (but not all the lipstick).
• Why we love being obsessed.
• What is tractor beaming. (HINT: there are no tractors.)
• What is a "true friend".
• Teal isn't aqua: it's on ducks.
• New Year's Eve: good time to use the dryer.
• Benefits of bladder control.

 ** We haven't mentioned Ben Beilharz this time. Maybe if he starts a podcast, we'll have something to say.

Jelssievision episode 3!

 This episode features some introductions, because the 3rd episode isn't too late to introduce ourselves. We assumed all the viewers were our friends, forgetting that a) not all our friends are mutual and b) Bec tweets the videos so some viewers know neither of us. So here we are. Us.

Speaking of Bec, she does such a fabulous job. I go away from a fun brunch with Elsie and the camera feeling all stupid about all the stupid things I said which I've already forgotten, and thinking this will be a dull stupid episode, and then a week later she has magically cut out all the chewing and the boring bits so it's 10 minutes of jelssie goldish. Gold-panning, or sieving, you might say. This is really her idea and her project, Elsie and I just two opinionated gals who don't mind eating on camera. So thanks Bec. This is a match made in heaven.

Back to episode 3.

• What is the definition of toast? 
• Are strawberries as great as everyone thinks? 
• What are the limits of friendship? 
• Is there one perfect beauty routine? 
• How is Elsie similar to a Tim Tam but not a Gaiety? 
• What are the dangers of napkin etiquette? 
• How much money COULD you make from an avocado tree? 
• With bonus Jess!

Enjoy.

Jelssievision Episode 2.

I've discovered the fun of taking unflattering stills. Ahhh lol.

Jelssievision Episode 2.

Or as I call it, Season 1 Episode 2. JEVS1E2. This time we had brunch at Scrummies in Oatley, they are SUPER friendly and accommodating and are known for their gluten-free menu. We had a some friends join us this time so there was a little more conversational input, which I think was nice.

In this episode:

• How to pronounce things
• How to wear perfume
• Different opinions on leopard print
• Flatmate conflict
• Elsie is not descended from Chinese gold-miners
• Jess on Cost Per Wear
• Hmmooooo
• A bit more indepth discussion of internet dating. And now we're done with it.

Without further ado, here it is!!!

Jelssivision Episode 1.

 Is it worth the internet download? A quick summary of 10 minutes of jelssievision:

• Both our voices.
• Jess's condescending face.
• Elsie's dentist-numb face.
• Both of us dressed in blue, without planning it.
• Mulled wine is the chai of wine.
• Are figs more like watermelon or passionfruit?
• What is the best era for music?
• Elsie eating out of the teapot.
• What makes a nice chai?
• Did Elsie get a phone call from Jeff Buckley? 
• We should talk about internet dating.
• A deconstructed plateful and a well-constructed forkful.
• Bobby pin demonstration.
• Elsie here: my favourite part is at 4:44, where Jess makes a face after I say oyster. 

Here it is:

We think it's funny, but that might be "look we're on vimeo!! hahahahaha!!!! My voice sounds so nasal. I don't remember saying that???", so maybe it isn't funny it's just weird, but we hope you enjoy it. If there is a rapturous response we will have brunch again. Well, actually, we like having brunch anyway.

Kind thanks to the cafe location Something For Jess in Chippendale. Their chai made on frothed milk was excellent and their menu was fresh and healthy and the service was delightful.

Announcing jelssievision.

Tomorrow you will hopefully have a jelssievision, aka the jelssie vodcast, to watch. I have watched it about 30 times today. The quinoa bit is probably my favourite.

Our wonderful and talented and lovely friend Bec has the filming and editing skillz. She thought it would be fun to practise them on us, ie put Elsie and me in a cafe and film us talking about all random stuff. It's a little bit embarrassing because we don't filter much. But the camera-work is really pretty and Bec managed to edit out most of the actual eating. She has done an amazing job!

So now I've seen myself on camera, I realise it's really impossible to know how you look to other people. I'm apparently bossy, opinionated, condescending and nasal, about 80% of the time, and the rest of the time I'm eating. Also, wow I am a lot like my sister Heather (not saying that she is bossy etc) and nothing at all like my other siblings. How did we get so many mannerisms in common? Freaky. Oooh, it would be interesting to do a jelssievision with Heather. Anyway I'm going to be more self-aware now of condescending monologues coming out of my mouth. Not that I'm not an accurate observer.
