Chapters
Hey everyone, it's Tilly and I thought I'd pick up the camera today. It's been a while, but I'm having a really busy couple of days, I think like 3-4 days, and I've got 3 different things on, so I thought I would take you a kind of week in my life of Tilly Lockey. So we're currently in the car, little road trip. We're gonna be in here for 5 hours. Say hi, Mum. Hello. And my sister in the back Hi, we're going down to Hampshire for a Snapchat event which I've been invited to. I'm basically going to be moderating and hosting a panel of Gen Z leaders, and that sounds really cool. I'm really excited.
As soon as we get in, I've got another interview for Mexican SingularityU event, which will be fun, and I'll give you more details on that when I actually get there. My family have abandoned me.
They went to Greggs, so here I am sat at my table. Um, I have a mango passion fruit cooler, a ham and cheese toasty, so that's very nice.
By the way, this bandana It's not really supposed to be a necklace. I know it's not stylish, but it's just there in case I want to put it in my hair.
We're here.
It's like this really cute area.
In the middle of the forest. Hello everybody, so we are at the hotel. I've had a change of outfit and touched up on some makeup. I'm about to join this call at quarter to 5. It's currently 22 minutes past 5, and basically what this is all about, it's basically about personalization and fashion bonicorns, which I think is really cool. I basically did an event in Mexico, Singularity Youth Summit, 2019.
Was it 2019, Mum?
Yeah, 2019. And there was a man there and he was really inspired by that and he actually wanted to start 3D printing prosthetics and basically giving them out for free for people. So that's obviously incredible. And so I was so happy to jump on this and get into a Q&A little call with him and the host who I met down at Mexico, Siglar Youssef, as well. So it'll be a little reunion. So I'm gonna do this. I can show you the full outfit later on when I leave. And then we're gonna go out for a meal and prepare for tomorrow. I've got this chair here and there's actually this big lamp which is very helpful, basically giving me the lighting. All set up and ready to go. I also thought it'd be quite a good idea to wear two different arms, which is what I'm going to be doing on this phone call, because it's all about making Prosthetics not realistic but actually really, really cool, which is something that I always talk about and express on the daily. So I've got mismatched arms for once. Okay, so I've just finished that call now. It went literally perfect. I wouldn't have wanted it to go any better, so I'm really happy about that. We can now show my whole outfit out in the hallway. Kind of pirate vibes, I kind of love it. We're in the Blue Hands, and now we're gonna go for dinner, which I can't wait for because I'm starving.
Let's go!
Hi Jackie! So here's management, and management also your management now, aren't you? Management! Jackie, Kennenstone, mom, sister Tia. So it's the next day and outfit of the day is kind of French vibes, Paris vibes. I kind of love it. We're going down to breakfast and then we're gonna go to the event where I'm gonna host the panel, so hopefully it'll all go good.
Let's go!
Here we are at the event Snap Forward 2021. Let's go in. Oh my God, that's— Here we are at the Snapcore 2021 event on the sign here.
Let's go in.
I went, let's go in, and my hand flew off. No, I'm going to keep it in, you bluffer. Was that recorded as well? Yeah, I was listening like, let's—
it was like crabs coming to my home type thing, and then my hand flew off. It's quite cool.
This is where I'm going to be doing the whole event. It looks beautiful, like it's really cool looking. Over there's the stage, so I'm going to be sat on there, but there's going to be 4 chairs for the panel. And yeah, sorted!
I'm excited.
Hey guys, so I just finished out on stage for the Snapchat event. It went really well, it couldn't have went any better, so I'm really happy about that. And apparently I've heard from people that like people have been giving good feedback about the panel and about my hosting. So that's what you want to hear, isn't it? I got my French hat back on. It was ready to fall off the entire time, but I was scared to maneuver it. Also had the microphone in my hand, but nobody noticed, I don't think.
Now we're going to head back into the car because I need to go to Manchester, Salford, because I'm doing something else, which I'll inform you about in the car. So here's the update. If you do or do not know, I was on a CBBC show called Got What It Takes. It's a singing competition and I did actually end up winning it.
What? I know.
But basically I'm going to CBBC—
I'm not going to— where am I going?
Salford, Manchester, um, to be on Blue Peter tomorrow. And that's not got anything to do with Got What It Takes, it's actually about old Bionics.
I'm talking about your Bionics hands because they're showing a video video clip about another little girl that got, um, bionic arms from Open Bionics. And then you're gonna sing live at the end of the show, and then you go on to then, um, the fan club area, and then maybe a little Q&A from some kids that are ringing into the show.
So it should be cute.
Oh, I'm really excited. Um, I've been to Media City a couple of times and it's so cool, like the whole vibe is just cool cool. So here's the vlog. We're back in the car for another—
how many hours?
3 and a half.
3 and a half. Hey guys, so we're in Manchester now, and funny thing is our hotel that was supposed to be booked into is on the only closed road in the whole of Manchester. So we were taking this massive detour trying to find which way to get in, but the only ways that you could possibly get in are like one-way roads, which you're facing the wrong way. So honestly, we're having a bit of a struggle. So we basically pulled into some car park in the middle of nowhere, and we're going to walk there to ask what's the best place to get in because we're just kind of lost and we're not familiar with Manchester. Our mom, she's really quite stressed, but I mean, it's like kind of Christmasy vibes though, so I'm not too mad about it. We made it. I thought though. The car's nowhere to be seen, but we're here.
At least we know where we are.
So here is my outfit for Blue Peter, outfit of the day. This little tartan skirt and this jumper, which I love. It's kind of emo, but I don't know, I kind of like it.
Let's go! No.
Taking with us? Yes.
Hello.
Say hi.
You called me?
Yeah, I thought you were calling yourself. No, I've been calling you for like ages.
Hi! Hey, we're here at Blue Peter.
We're here at Blue Peter. You look so miserable. You're obviously just sat there for like 5 minutes. This is our little dressing room. I think this is where it was when I came to do GWT as well, but we've got little mirrors with lights, and then we've got a bathroom and shower over there, and a little dressing room. And then they're gonna come get me in about 10 minutes.
10 minutes.
Pretty, very nice. We finished hair, makeup, and this is the finished look. I love it.
Let's go! And I think we're going to have a rehearsal and then a full rehearsal and do the whole thing, but I need to reunite with the rest of them.
Hey guys, so I'm literally in bed right now, not for good because I still need to take my makeup off, but I thought I'd kind of wrap this up here because I realized I haven't already. It's like nearly midnight and we just got in from driving for another 3 hours, um, but I had loads of snacks in the car including a Krispy Kreme donut, so it's not too bad. But now I'm in bed, it's all over this week or like 3 days even. We crammed quite a lot in 3 days. Has been absolutely insane, but I'm so grateful for all the opportunities that I've been given, not only this week so close together, but the whole of my life just feels crazy at the minute. Like everything seems to be kicking off and I'm just having so much fun as well. So I'm going to put together this vlog probably in the morning, although I do need to do some chemistry. I just ran out of storage. That just shows how much I need to edit all of this. Kind of stressed just thinking about it, but it's fun. I really hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, make sure to give it a big thumbs up, like, comment, subscribe. Let me know what you want to see in the future because I do want to come back to YouTube for good. I hope you enjoyed this. It was really nice to see and speak to you all and hang out again, and hopefully it'll be a more regular occurrence. I'll see you all next time.
