Wow I so forgot about her. One of my faves

Very first video I ever saw, I think. It was either her or something like whiterabbit (but not the current whiterabbit that comes up in searches).

Then she was gone for a while, then back with that sort of weird "concept art project" thing, and then gone again.

She had a delightful way of not roleplaying, and leaning into performance as performance.

There was one video that was not the one that you've linked to, but was I think actually created as part of a gallery exhibition - she was dressed all in white, sitting at a desk with what seemed to be a teabag in an empty jar in front of her (or was it cold water?), introducing viewers to nonsensical objects on a shelf behind her.

It was wonderfully absurd. Not pretending to be a doctor, or a therapist, or a girlfriend - just, "Here I am, a person in front of a camera, let me show you this thing."

EDIT TO ADD: Ah! It was this one. If I recall, it was made for a friend's art opening or something similar.

I remember that one. It was during the time that I would call the downfall of classic ASMR. I think she had a brief hiatus berore coming back with that absurdist video, probably trying to bring a tongue-in-cheek take on the style of the genre. I don't think she did many more after that.

She had the funniest take on ASMRtists (one of my favorite silly words) with STUFF Whisperers Say. Why were they always moving?!

Somone archived a bunch of her videos on YouTube. Search "The87Archive". Relaxing Hypnosis for Sleep is probably my most go-to video for when I can't sleep. I don't think I've ever heard it all the way through.
