Introducing My Spiffy New YouTube Channel: Charlotte Issyvoo!

Well, I've done it. I've created a slick, new, youtube channel named, simply enough, Charlotte Issyvoo.

As you may or may not know, my husband is a somewhat famous youtuber with nearly 2,000,000 followers. He really liked my videos, but felt that I'd get more viewers if the videos about "serious" topics had their very own channel, instead of being all jumbled up with my videos about "lighter" topics. So he helped me put the plan into action ...

... and it looks pretty fancy, if I do say so myself.

If you like my blog, you will like my videos. They're very similar, as I do deep dives into some heavy topics, like what Trump did to put him on Epstein's list, and how everybody knew about it way back in 2016...

... how Jimmy Carter supported the pedophile, Peter Yarrow...

... how racism affects people's ideas about who traffics children ...

... and whether the Gilgo Beach killer was the inspiration for the novel, The Change.

I also look at a lot of Jewish topics, like why you should never assume you know a person's stance on Israel and Palestine just because he or she is Jewish...

... how to do your (Ashkenazi) Jewish genealogy...

... reassuring you that yes, it really can be done...

... how the traumas of Jewish history may have impacted Paul Simon's song, The Sound of Silence...

... the role of New York's, Jewish Lower East Side in the rom-com movie, Crossing Delancey...

... and the big question of just what an Ashkenazi Jew is in the first place.

You'll notice that style doesn't play as important a role in my Youtube channel as it did in my blog.

Well, yes and no.

First of all, I do still look at fashion when it's relevant...

... like as we watch Izzy emerge into a better sense of herself in Crossing Delancey...

... or in how inappropriately the supposedly teen victim is made to dress in the television series, The Jetty.

I also dress to match my videos in some way, like how I dressed to match the lesbian pulp novel, The Other Side of Desire, as I reviewed it...

... how I dressed in an allusion to my 13 year old self to remind everyone what a 13 year old trafficking victim really looks like as I talked about Trump and Epstein's pedophilia...

... or how I dressed like a "hag" to create a fairy tale allegory about child sex trafficking.

I also have some fun outfits coming up in future videos, like this one for a video about the classic...

... "hard boiled detective" in the 1950s radio series, Broadway Is My Beat.

But no, fashion doesn't play as big a role in my videos as it did in my blog, mostly because the need for ongoing Covid safety completely killed my ability to dress up and go out.

But don't worry, I am making videos about style...

... and vintage jewelry, just on my other channel: Sublime Mercies.


My husband and I are also starting a fun little channel called, Backyard Birds and Beasts, featuring all the wonderful creatures...

... who are drawn to the dream backyard we've created for the house we bought three years ago.

Crows feature very prominently, of course.

After all, we all need a little levity in these difficult times.

But the world is a pretty rough place these days, as I'm sure you know, and I've felt the need to talk about that even more than I did before.

I think we all need to try to be the change we want to see in the world. I did that with my blog the best I could.

Now I'm trying to do it just a little bit more than that.

So hop on over to Charlotte Issyvoo and see what you think.
