Tisha Unarmed Gets Dressed



"Tisha UnArmed" is the YouTube channel of a cheerful, outgoing 25-year-old who records herself doing everyday tasks -- such as making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or driving -- in extraordinary ways.



Tisha, who was born without arms, answers her online fans' questions with spunk and an endearing frankness.



"Hi everyone, this is Tisha UnArmed, and I'm here to answer all of your questions about not having arms. As you can see, I don't have any arms," she says, at the beginning of her videos.



Tisha uses a mix of flexibility and ingenuity as she navigates the tasks, explaining as she goes. In her latest post, Tisha shows how she gets dressed in the morning.



"Today, we are going to be getting dressed... and you thought I was going to be naked," she jokes.



Using her remarkably dexterous feet in conjunction with a hooked implement she constructed herself, Tisha puts on a bra, shorts and shirt with her trademark humor.



"If you find that you put your shirt on backwards, don't worry. Because of a lack of arms, you can always turn it around," she says toward the end.



The "getting dressed" video blog has been viewed more than 88,000 times since it was posted Monday. And it's easy to see why so many people have commented as well.



"Wow! Your awesome!" writes mozzy1206, while frankdawgg remarks, "wow, just wow...you are an inspiration! What a great attitude, thanks for feeding our curiosity."



George Dennehy, an 18-year-old from Ashland, Va.,who was also born without arms, recently created an "I Am A" page on Reddit. He answers questions about his life, just like Tisha does on her vlog. Dennehy uses his feet for a majority of his tasks, including playing the guitar, noting that he's primarily right-footed.

Seems like a pretty handy skill



Her tenacity is disarming



Where's the harm in trying?



Would she vote for obarma?



Does she eat marmalade?

I swear I was going to make a pb&j b4 I seen this video. I still did but I didn't use my feet.



On the other hand or foot its pretty cool how she taught herself to do things like that making her more independent. Its also amazing that she is that way about not having arms.

I used to have no arms, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
