i love lemonette. She is a wise, charming 50+ woman who has attracted a huge following on youtube with a series of honest, down-to-earth and often funny video diary entries. She shoots them herself on location in her small southern town, often in her car.

Here is my favorite (I'm not alone, it's been viewed a half million times!) episode, in which she talks soulfully about her relationship with her husband and about the idea of "the perfect marriage":







Another favorite is the clever + reflective "Southernisms with Lemonette #1", in which she breaks down a couple of choice regionalisms while parked beside the banks of a stream:






One interesting thing about Lemonette is that many of her fanatically loyal subscribers are the typical younger youtube users, who have really found a figure they can relate to in this wise older woman. They compose video replies to her entries, to which she then sometimes replies (in video form), and on and on.

I never really viewed youtube as a true community until i discovered lemonette and her fans. Seems like Youtube is about more than just copyright violations and ghost riding videos after all :)
