wonderhussy, wonder hussy, wonderhussey, wonder hussey, wonder hussie
Oh Wonderhussy, don't change a thing. My wife and I reserve Wednesday, sometimes thursday evenings to watch your videos. Your name "Wonderhussy", intro song, your weird sense of humor, video lengths, all the strange places you
visit, and all the things that make you the one and only Wonderhussy are just perfect. Again, don't change a thing.😮
NEVER change your name. Your Wonderhussy persona and your content is for everybody. I was actually drawn to your name and authenticity.
Never change your name! You already misspelled it in your vide. You said in all three platforms it’s “W-O-N-D-E-R-H-U-S-S-I” 💙! ;-)
We watch you BECAUSE your quirky, your corny, you have longer video's, you do things most of us wish we could do, you are WONDERFUL, so keep doing what your doing... its working just fine!
@@vencenzodemarco4393 Zing
@@vencenzodemarco4393 it's just narcissism. There is a treatment for that sonny!
YOU'RE
@@bruceoldham1896 love it. Now, for our next goof of the day.
@@thedude8046 sonny dude, or dude sonny?? funny.
Yes you are a creative artist. You grew your channel brick by brick. That’s a true authentic entrepreneur. Thank you ☺️
Never change your channel name!!
Nooo, don't shorten your intro, it's so cool and comforting like the night court intro
You are, hands down, one of the best storytellers on TH-cam. Never change.
Luv seeing you in the off beat areas❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Been a Hussy fan for a few years now!! Love abandoned places & the history of these places. Plus...she's quirky!! 😆
And I must say she is Gorgeous. She doesnt dress down much like she is here with no hat, glasses, and hair down. She is a stunner IMO.
She's quirky and good people too.
Haha - 76 year old woman who loves your channel. I think hussy is what first intrigued me. I doubt I would have checked out wondergirl! And so glad you do not insist people subscribe! Or ring your bell! or join patreon:) You definitely are NOT boring. And your intro is great. Please don't follow all of the 'good' youtube rules and be like everyone else!
Please don't change a thing Sara Jane just stay the course and be you. Love your history stories of abandoned places.
I'm not saying you can't find good tips from the TH-cam gurus on how to improve your videos. BUT, they often remind me of the people who, for a price, will teach you their system for making money. Most people don't stop to think: Hey, if this is such a great system, why are they telling ME? The answer is because they can make more money telling people how to do it than they can actually doing it. I've also heard of TH-camrs who got so focused on chasing the algorithm, it sucked the joy right out of them, and it started to show. Being you got you to where you are. Continue being you.
Don't change your brand name. You are a fabulous Wonderhussy!!!
No --
She's a wonder, Wonderhussy!
I only thought when I first started watching was she is wandering, so is she Wonder? Or Wander? Hussy (always liked that)
But she is her own person, and the vids are better to me, showing some balance between scenery and her charming banter with herself, something I know a bit about.
It gave me ideas for my future channel, so thank you. Patreon kinda made me sign up as a “channel” so I don’t know what that will bring. But I envy the people who do this successfully!
If people can't sit still for a 12 second intro, then they don't deserve you Wonderhussy! Seriously, you are such an inspiration for many reasons. Please trust your instincts and inner compass, because you are a True North ! ☮️💜
whenever i hear the intro i know in 20 seconds i'm going to be in a much better mood....
Your music choices are part of your signature!!
Continue being authentic to who YOU are, I love your intro, I hope you don’t change too much because I truly believe we love your content as it is, I know that applies to me at least. 🤷🏼♀️🤩💯🫶🏼
Hey Hussy, Don't change anything!
I like just the way you are !!
I love that you keep your high standards. You don’t do click bate thumbnails. You keep it real. Your channel is the only one on TH-cam I consistently watch every episode. Every week with you is an adventure!
Don't change, your channel is perfect.
Keep true to yourself. You are a great storyteller and very entertaining 🎉
Never a thumbs down 😊
79 year old woman here. "Hussy" is exactly why I first watched your channel and you've been making me chuckle ever since! Not to ever forget the wonderful trips you take us on. Do NOT change anything or go shorter or anything. The quirky music is perfect. Besides without you I'd have never known more about foot fetishes and now I want to know more about pit kitten fetishes and lots more about Nevada and surrounds in general. Just keep it up and nix the 10 min. stuff. Double nix Tic Tok. We love you just the way you are and there are three of us in our house.
Keep it original we love you !
Sarah don't change a thing! Your stuff is great the way it is.
I like your intro music and do not find it to long.
Listening to you list of things you think you ought to do to get more subscribers had me worried! I enjoy your channel perfectly as is because it feels spontaneous and real! All the other stuff TH-camrs are encouraged to do has by now come to feel desperate, annoying and pandering. Also you’re one of the TH-camrs who has 20 + minute videos that I will watch from beginning to end and not get bored! Anyway, thank you for giving us a peek behind the Death Valley curtain and please don’t change unless it’s something that feels organic to yourself.
It's alot of work Sarah but the quality of your videos is second to none, you do an amazing job. I like the long videos they are never boring just keep doing what you do, sharing your videos would also help to grow your channel
Thank you WH! Valuable info. Don’t change a thing!!!!🤘
never touch a running system
Agreed.
A1A !!! ...thank you for the desert fun : )
Sarah Jane, please don't change a thing, You're perfect as you are and it's your vibrant personality that keeps people hooked: I especially enjoyed your videos about auditioning for Jeopardy and American Idol and refurbishing your desert compound. You're a wonderful storyteller and have a great sense of humor -- in short, you're entertaining even if you're going to the grocery store. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, darlin'...keep on keepin' on. Wonderhussy forever!
Do not make the videos shorter! I look forward to Wednesday’s!!! You rock!
You are an original and that's how you got this far. No one thinks, looks, or acts like you. Your history made Wonderhussy. The only suggestion I might have to offer is to invite another favorite TH-camr of mine, German in Venice, as a guest.
I got my husband to watch you and my daughter in law 😊 keep on being you girl we love ya
Don't change a thing Sarah Jane. You are doing it perfectly. I stumbled across your TH-cam during the pandemic with you walking up the Strip showing how dead everything was. All of your content is perfect because it comes from the passion and realistic attitude you have on life in general. Your genuineness shines through.
Don't change yourself, I watch your content because I enjoy it.
This really helped me thanks especially realizing such simple editing software can work My one tip for you is that a mouse will help your editing speed up dramatically!😊
Thank you, wonderhussy. And thank God you started making videos.
You don't need to change a single thing about your videos, persona, or brand. All your growth on your channel is because you are you.
Lately I've been drifting off watching videos and blamed it on being almost 70. When I saw today's was 44 minutes I hesitated. To my surprise it was most interesting. Seemed like you are always talking directly to the fans. Keep with your format and I'll be happy. You impress me with your intelligence. I've learned so much today and wish your channel grows to 500 k soon. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Hardest working and exuberant YT'er I know. Stumbled upon here by the Mine Explorer's channel that Dan ( Shango) does
when he visited a mine owning neighbor Ross ( the one legged miner) of Sarah's and then went to his channel and found
a woman who called herself Wonderhussy on a few of his vids. The rest is history. Been watching her since that day. She
has a great self depreciative sense of humor, visited some great places , made videos of her desert home and man can
she talk your ear off , but you will love every minute of it, because she is that good at the stuff she does. Thank you Sarah
Jane, from a new subscriber!
It's a badge of honor! You've worked your butt off putting out videos so the titles all yours. :)
Back in 2018, you're the first TH-camr I started watching and continue to watch you. I love that you don't beg to "like and subscribe," or talk about Patreon, or "Buy me a cup of coffee," or "Buy me a tank of gas." Don't change anything. You're perfect just the way you are. xxxooo!!
Don't change a thing for you. Don't change a thing for me. Lyrics supplied by INXS. 231K subs and counting!
You were looking for ideas to grow your channel. Possibly linking up with another TH-camr to gain new subscribers. We were looking at some of your older videos. You did one on Cerro Gordo Ghost Town. Brent Underwood owns it now and he’s working to bring it back to its former glory. The American Hotel burned down and he’s rebuilding that too. You could do an updated video there with him. Brent and his 1.63M Subscribers would love to see your footage of the American Hotel before its demise. Kind of a then and now. I’m sure a lot of his subscribers are interested in Ghost Towns too. A whole new pool of Subscribers. We live in Pahrump and enjoy your exploration videos of local sites. Gives us ideas for our own adventures!
Wow. That was great. Thank you. Personally I see no need to change anything about your presentations.
Don’t make them short. Their length is what makes them special!
Love you the way you are. Don’t change anything. JustYou be you.
Thanks Wonderhussy for this great video
I am 73 years of age female and I just love watching your adventures. You are wonderful and very honest and it shows threw the camera. Keep it on going as long as you enjoy what your doing . ❤️
The video that really hooked me on Wonderhussy was the how-to of you cleaning your Sig Sauer. Cleaning the gun wasn't what did it, it was what you really used for self-protection! I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it is worth checking out.
Sara, don't change anything. I love you just the way you are.😘
My husband and I started watching you back in 2019. My grandmother had had a stroke in December 2018 and a month later my mother-in-law who lived with us was diagnosed with stage three pancreatic cancer. I stayed home and left my job to take care of both of them, and when I watched your channel, it gave me a reason to have some adventure and laugh. Plus you lived in Las Vegas, which is our favorite vacation destination.
Keep on truckin' Wonderhussy! Your entertaining and iconic videos are classic Americana, original and full of heart.
I recognized the Sedan Crater group photo by your desk. We signed up almost a full year before we went up to Mercury to see the Nevada Atomic Facility. To those who don't know, they take a busload from Las Vegas of about 40 people once a month up to tour the facility and they take a group photo as you are not allowed any photo equipment including phones, past security. If you get to go, be sure to go the the Atomic Museum on before the trip, very educational and it adds to the tour.
I think I subscribed back when you had 30,000 viewers. Your intelligence and charm were more than enough to convince me. Of course, being beautiful doesn't hurt. Even without makeup.
I subd about then too. Just seemed to have a good down-to-feel. Not forced.
Wonder Hussy! Love that you can be just you! Don't commercialize yourself! You are a special hussy! Be you! We love it!😊
Sarah, don’t ever change the name of your videos! I love Wonderhussey!!
Sarah Jane. You are as perfect as it gets. I love your expressions, your mannerisms, your realism. Don't you dare change a thing. I'm 73 years old, all alone, and the 3 most "enjoyable" things in my life are: A glass of fine wine, a toke, and a Wonderhussy video!
Girlfriend, please do not change,,,,,love you just the way you are! You have the BEST videos out there!
Thanks for explaining the process! You are a hard worker for sure! 💞
Keep doing what you are doing, I wouldn't change anything. Thumbs up.
I totally respect the fact that your not begging for money (unlike other TH-camrs from Pahrump and talking about their hardships). All your videos are absolutely interesting and informative. I look forward to each and every Wednesday to watch you. Thank you for making our lives just a little bit brighter each week.
Great 👍 that you are not a E ..BEGGAR!!!!! THEY ARR SO SICKENING!
You wouldn't be referring to someone whose name might begin with L, would you? He is the worst. She is so funny who she can tolerate as an acquaintance or friend, sometimes. 99% of her associations and collaborations are cool but there is one possible stinker's channel. Boo. I love the color of her eyes and the sound of her voice. Best ever.
Show us your TH-cam Silver plaque! It's a big deal! How does it wk?
This is one of your best videos. Not because of the how to lesson, but because of your personality and your rant on the other female content creators with the wholesome names 😂. My favorites are the boyfriends / husbands who put a suggestive T and A thumbnail shot of their partner to get attention. I like your channel's name and your attitude. Never change, Sarah!
Yeah, the wearing a bikini in the middle of winter thumbnails are eye rolling
Personally, I wouldn't shorten your videos nor use any recommended youtube gimmicks. We watch your videos for the adventurous spirit, the interesting locations, and the sincerity/honesty you provide(something severely lacking in other channels).
i like the Wonderhussy brand. Glad you stick to your roots but kudos for cleaning up the language for the grandkids. You have made good decisions in my opinion. I've been with you for quite a while now, since the F bomb days. I do remember how I found you. I was watching videos of the speed records of the Bonneville salt flats and suddenly your video on the salt flats popped up and the rest is history. Cheers to the soon to be quarter million milestone!!! btw...since I'm a car guy I have to beg for more abandoned, old cars, trucks, equipment. lol
DON'T EVER CHANGE! Your funny quirky personality is what keeps us all coming back
WonderHUSSY is what initially attracted me to your channel.
I was curious.
And I’ve loved ya ever since…😎😘
Sarah, you really don’t have to improve anything on your videos 15-20 minutes is perfect. I worked at two TV stations, production, master control and then sales as Account Executive, Local Sales Manager and National Sales manager and let me tell you, less is best. Your creativity, energy, enthusiasm, incredible story telling and looks are all
Wonderhussy Adventures success.
I used to write local spots, create the commercials and sometimes even be in the spots. Secret is being able to shoot videos without having to do much editing.
Keep up your great work, obviously you relate to your audience and your clever shooting and excellent humor makes you the one and ONLY Wonderhussy✌🏼
Please don’t make ur videos shorter! I love your story telling!! It is my way of just downloading from my day!
OK, but you still have to explain the button in the background.. ha!
Nice job Sarah. Keep up the good work.
A Hus-puppy here. You are authentic, charismatic, consistently engaging, and did I say authentic? Worth repeating
I love everything about Wonderhussy! Don't change your theme song in the beginning either. That tune cheers me up so much on Wednesdays..I just get giddy! 20 something minutes episodes are just fine too! I liked this 40 minute one also. Your past is fascinating...it makes who you are! Just my POV. Your adventures carried me through the covid crap years and long winters of MinneSnowta. You just keep being you!
I AGREE WITH YOU LEANN 100%.....
Agreed!
You got a great brand!I ,, and iMovie Is super! but there are so many free technic videos for Premier I bet you will excel!! I enjoy your videos!
I love your intro music. Don't abandon that. I have been watching for the last year. It is your personality that brings me back over and over. Cheers!
Don’t ever change being our Wonderhussy. We LOVE you just the way you are. Please take it from an open minded observer, you’re the best! When I discovered you March of 2022, you’d already been going since 2011, so I had a lot of catching up to do. I started binge watching all your videos, from the very beginning, up to the present, which amounted to almost 700 videos! So I got to know your style right away. Which is why I liked you. So here we are now at 800+ videos, and going strong. So if the goodie two shoes don’t want to tune in, that’s their loss. And if your subscriptions and views suffer because of it, so be it. That’s the price of being awesome!
Hey Sarah, The main attraction of your channel is your incredible enthusiasm, personality, intelligence and gift for gab! You can make even the most Mandane seem interesting! I particularly enjoyed your videos with some historical perspective like the Benion murder mystery, The history of some of the sites you visited, really loved the tour of unusual houses, and Liberace‘s house! Your experiences in Las Vegas all the Las Vegas videos I was a real estate broker there for 20 years! Your stays, like at the brothel, A haunted hotel, The town for sale outside of Las Vegas. I think it’s called Nipton. Personally, like those better than the desert ruins! But I wouldn’ Miss an episode I forgot to mention the beautiful scenery where you Camp like up in Colorado and the old mining town there! The airplane ride, The lake, Powell, camping trip,
I came across one of your videos back in 2017 when doing a search for hot springs. I was amazed! You were interesting, didn't cuss, and most importantly, you came across as the viewer's best friend. You don't push anything on folks, and you keep politics out of your videos. Yeah, I'm hooked on watching your adventures, Sarah.
My only suggestion would be.....
Don't change anything ...we all love you for who you are 🙏
Wonder Hussy is your brand don't change. You should be very proud of what you have created on your own. Not just doing what the others do. For me, watching for several years, and still enjoy your videos.
Happy Trails!
I think the intro is fine. I know longer intros that are on bigger channels and it doesn’t affect them. I think you’re doing well and sticking to your guns and doing things that make you happy. It’s more genuine and makes you more relatable. Keep it up! We love you!
Don't Ever Change.
You're fine the way You are.
Don't change what is not broken.
Love your work, my dear! Glad/thankful for all you do!
Sarah people watch and tune into your channel because it’s the best one around 😊
And because of your amazing way , and simply because of you 😊❤
I wouldn’t change a thing why mess with a good thing 😊
As always lots of love for ya from Flagstaff Az ❤️✨❤️
Thank you Sara! I love watching The Wonderhussy Adventures!👍
I found your channel when I watched your wonderful pup Fred for a few days. C-AD your old roommate knows I explore the desert outside LV and suggested you. All your videos are so FUNNY and entertaining. Viewers have to listen closely to appreciate your sense of humor. YES, you deserve many more viewers but the loyalty of your followers look forward to every video. Thank you.
Good work to get where you are without ‘begging’ kudos. Been here for a few years.
Just let me say one more thing….. I always back your intro back to hear your intro music…. I LIKE IT… and you are a success!
I don't know when I started but loved it all. Especially when Nude Modeling was considered World Ending. Many of your old videos on abandoned Industrial sites, especially that fallen Chimney were Oscar Winners. So much effort goes into your work. You are playing to a bunch of nimrods who don't really know or care that much about perfect audio/video.
Drizzle drazzle drizzle drome, time for this one to come home, said Mr. Peabody with his time machine. History can be fun.
Your Hair Looks Fantastic !!!
may the force be with you !!!
I think I watched a few of your videos before I realized what you "called yourself". I love the content, the locations and your very interesting narration which is so relatable and not boring for one second. I try to watch other "historical location" type videos and the narrators are just so very boring . Watching you is like going along with a friend on a FUN adventure. Thank you for what you do!
Your a great story teller you could write a book about your adventures…your professional career. You have a great talent of creating a great story out of nothing…expand in all directions.
The wife and I enjoy your travels and the stories you dream up as you go. You make our lives so much more exciting and comical. Thanks so much.
Keep your name and your music and let the sticklers be sticklers. You are Wonderhussy and we love you the way you are.
I so agree 👍
Ms Huss! Don't change ANYTHING! Your channel is just perfect and so fun and most importantly UNIQUE!
Subscribing to your content is because we enjoy and have enjoyed a tourist video commentary of yours making us viewers laugh. Anyone just watching any single video of yours has something funny to laugh at by the way you are serious and not serious together to explore what tourists should see adventuring. Even doing hairy armpits videos before doing a photoshoot is just so funny to your TH-cam watchers just being injected by weirdness, oddness, off the wall documentary that makes us additionally entertained besides probably a hit or a miss tourist area in Nevada primarily. ☺️👍
Don't change, just grow naturally. I love your videos and content, and I enjoy your personality. You are a great inspiration. Thank you for being you. :)
No matter what you do there will always be someone to complain about it. You're doing a great job and you're fun to watch. Keep it up girl!
Keep 'em coming! One thing that I don't like is when my favorite TH-camrs just do shorts. Us late at night non sleepers really like the longer videos. You have hit the sweet spot! Thanks for all.
