MTV TJ Challenge 1 (Pt 2): In Which I Accost Strangers and Make Them Figure Out Who I Am. (Existential Crisis Not Included.)

by rachaelgking on July 8, 2010 · 59 comments

Okay! So, MTV challenged us to show who we are, in any format we liked. Of course, being me, I had to get a little different with this.

I decided to take this challenge to the streets!!!… and let the good people of DC show you who I am, a la vlog.

That’s right, I went up to perfect strangers, and made them interview ME.

(Because it’s all about me, obviously. What?)

Actually, it is all about me… making an ass out of myself. With total strangers.

It’s LiLu, in a nutshell, baby. Much like this.

Enjoy!!! It may not be the fanciest, but it’s gotta be the ballsiest… (it’s a word!)

I LOOOOOOVE IT! Fab job.

But more importantly, where is your dress from? I need it for work.

2 hillary July 8, 2010 at 9:04 pm

3 Lauren July 8, 2010 at 9:05 pm

I want to steal your cat and then return him to you like this:

Love it! I’m definitely voting for you, m’dear. As far as I’m concerned this job was made for you!

5 MsDarkstar July 8, 2010 at 9:06 pm

That rocked!

One of your HUGE strengths is that you are so good with putting yourself out there and embracing total strangers as if they were long-lost friends!

6 Emily Jane July 8, 2010 at 9:15 pm

1:05 is my favourite. When he asks about “Mass-hole”.

BRILLIANT

7 Rachael July 8, 2010 at 9:25 pm

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Your shirt at the end is the BEST. Plus, your politically correct explanation of “Mass-hole”? Priceless!

8 Grace July 8, 2010 at 9:29 pm

Two thumbs up!! It turned out great! Rafael: “You should have thrown the cat at the camera. I would totally vote for the lady that throws her cats around. But Grace likes cats so don’t tell her.”

and cue: AWESOME.

10 The Demigoddess July 8, 2010 at 9:50 pm

This was really fun to watch, Lilu! I have been thinking about what Mass-hole could really mean for the longest time. I thought it just was something you made up for yourself.

11 linlah July 8, 2010 at 10:01 pm

LiLu – can you refresh my memory on how to get you voted in cause I’m all over it if I know.

12 Robyn July 8, 2010 at 10:16 pm

Or else… AXE MURDERER WILL COME GET YOU?! WEARING A SILLY/AWESOME HAT?!

Loving it. Go Lilu!

13 Tara July 8, 2010 at 10:22 pm

I love how the 1st guy said “So you’re one of those UNpatient people”

14 Adrienzgirl July 8, 2010 at 10:29 pm

Hooker you better win! You have spread your shiz out there thinner than peanut buttaaaaaaahhhhhh!!

15 Barbara July 8, 2010 at 10:47 pm

There were no surprise trust falls like I was hoping for, but still, BRILLIANT IDEA! And your cat! LMAO

22 BeckEye July 9, 2010 at 3:11 am

Dearest Candidate,

If you are elected, can you hook me up with Aquafina bottle penis guy, who kind of looked like he could have been Zac Efron’s brother? I don’t even care if he’s gay.

Respectfully,
BeckEye

23 WendyB July 9, 2010 at 3:35 am

29 Svaha July 9, 2010 at 10:39 am

35 Velvet July 9, 2010 at 1:32 pm

Good luck!! I just checked your progress, it’s like watching my horse win a race!!! Wait. I didn’t mean to call you a horse. That came out way wrong.

36 Lacey Bean July 9, 2010 at 1:40 pm

LOOOOOOVE! I would never talk to strangers hahah, I’m such a loser.

37 Lil' Woman July 9, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Did we get Lilu’s IRL name…hmmm, I’m not going to say but I think it might have heard it.

38 Paula July 9, 2010 at 1:44 pm

You have some balls, girl – I love it!

Also, that last guy was quite cute… Just sayin.

39 BigMamaCass July 9, 2010 at 2:06 pm

That rocks. And where do we get that shirt? :)

40 Olive July 9, 2010 at 3:40 pm

OMG haha 1. i want a lilu shirt. 2. this video would not have been complete without the cat at the end

41 Julie July 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm

You’re a fking hot ass rockstar. You need this.

42 districtofchic July 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm

I’m actually from the DMV (one of the few). You gotta teach some people here your Masshole driving skills – DMVers are terribly inefficient.

43 LesleyG July 9, 2010 at 4:33 pm

AhhhhH! You are so great! Well done, lady. And everyone in D.C. is so damn pretty.

44 katelin July 9, 2010 at 6:22 pm

haha you are awesome, love it!

45 Alicia July 9, 2010 at 6:33 pm

Ha ha…You are perfect for this gig!

46 Alyxherself July 9, 2010 at 6:34 pm

You are the bees knees, that catz meow, and the most deserving TJ candidate. I’m stoked for you right now.

47 Julie @ Wearing Mascara July 9, 2010 at 10:42 pm

Loveeeee it :-) I now know what a masshole is. Not gonna lie, I had no idea. Is that bad?

48 Clevelandpoet July 10, 2010 at 1:19 am

night=
made.

also told my family if they didn’t vote for you I’d never visit again.

49 Wendy July 10, 2010 at 10:06 am

Okay. So I don’t have time to read all of the comments, but I do have a question. The last guy….with the water bottle. Um. Did anyone else notice that he placed it in his “manhood” region….sticking out….like he had a Lilu in his pants? Or like he was showing the world his penis size with the water bottle….

50 Amber Tidd Murphy July 10, 2010 at 10:53 am

You are SO going to win!! I did a surprise trust fall the other day in your honor. ;)

51 CB July 10, 2010 at 11:28 am

Damnit!!! I want to accost totally strangers!!!

You are so fucking cute hoe!

52 Rinth de Shadley July 10, 2010 at 11:39 am

Totally cool! I will vote for you. :)

53 Herb July 11, 2010 at 8:51 am

I think I know water bottle guy.

54 andhari July 11, 2010 at 1:50 pm

YOU’RE FREAKIN AMAZING LILU!

I would never have the guts to do that haha

55 sammy July 11, 2010 at 10:01 pm

haha well played! that was an awesome idea.

im a southerner in mass and ive only heard the word ‘masshole’. i now know what the hell it is!

56 spleeness July 11, 2010 at 10:36 pm

Love it!! I can’t believe you can be so comfortable just chatting with strangers, you make it look so easy. I’m almost tempted to try it, lol.

I love Matchbox too, btw, don’t they rock?

57 Christina Harper July 12, 2010 at 2:08 pm

If you don’t win; I don’t know what’s wrong with the world.

58 Stephany July 12, 2010 at 2:28 pm

So now I know what a Mass-hole is. Woo! I don’t feel as out of the loop now.

59 Anonymous July 12, 2010 at 3:47 pm

I really liked the pause that the cyclist made in response to your statement that “no one is originally from DC.” Because of course the majority of people in DC were born in DC, just not those that live in NW.
