Oh, this is everything I hoped for when I nominated Hazards of Helen. You get 'em, Helen! You get 'em good!

And it's not just her getting them, either, but the hassle of it, too, heroic Helen keeping it altogether, getting harassed and fired and rehired and saving the goddamned day, again and again and again.

I know this wasn't officially a gift for me, but I'm claiming it for my own anyway, thank you, dear Anon!

Thank you for nominating Hazards of Helen. But you can't have this vid. It's MIIIINE!

She looks cool AF.

Oh wow! I've heard about The Hazards of Helen but never seen any. This is glorious, and you have definitely whet my appetite for more. Thank you, festividder!

Vidder, you are the best! This vid is everything I wanted and more. I love Dessa, and this song is perfect. This may not be everyone's mental image when they think of film actresses from the 1910s, but the truth is women have always taken tough, active, leading roles. I love the lyrical matches with the finger wagging, the baggage tossing, "ey", "they love me not", "pedals off my bike", and the "good god" sequence!

SO BADASS!!! Excellent song choice too.

This is excellent! In addition to being delighted by Helen, who I am meeting here for the first time, I love the way it makes me think about vidding as an heir to silent cinema. :)

Fantastic music for the source - I totally want to rush out and see Helen in all her glory.

It's amazing to see a woman jumping from train cars and wrestling with armed men in a source from 1914! I had not heard of The Hazards of Helen before, so thank you for introducing her to me, and in such a well-crafted vid! I'm a HUGE fan of Dessa, and this song worked perfectly in your hands -- high energy and defiant, just like Helen!

Well, isn't this lady just the coolest most awesome gal in the place?!
