Babe of the Week – [06/04/09]
This week we’ve taken a break from the usual glamour models and such to bring you a babe that seems to be taking the internet by storm, iJustine!
I’ve been following her for a while now on youtube and more recently on twitter and her video antics keep me entertained through those less interesting times at home and work.
The Bio:
Justine Ezarik (pronounced [iːˈzeɪ.ɹɪk], born March 20, 1984), is a viral video comedienne, freelance graphic/web designer and video editor originally based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is best known as iJustine, a lifecaster who communicated directly with her hundreds of viewers on her Justin.tv channel, ijustine.tv. She has made more than 200 videos, including satires on such subjects as Lost and parkour. Her videos have received more than 25 million views, 16 million on YouTube alone. Her popularity is such that a video about her wanting to order a cheeseburger got 600,000 YouTube views in a week. She is sometimes described as a “lifecasting star,” a “new media star,” or one of the web’s most popular lifecasters. In 2008, she relocated her base of operation from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, California.[5]
Ezarik is known for her “300-page iPhone bill”, which followed the first month of service after the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. The viral video earned her international attention and celebrity. The bad publicity that AT&T earned as a result of her video featuring her reviewing this bill and similar stories coincided with the announcement that detailed billing would become optional for iPhone users.
Now that’s all the wikipedia gubbins out of the way (which seem to be a bit out of date as the figures seem rather low) let’s see her latest video:
And here’s a few links for you to get to know her a little better:
