Lele Pons: The Funnier, The Hotter

Overheard while having coffee this morning:
“That Lily Pod/s is hot!  That music video is really a gem to behold.  She rocks!  Literally!”

I’m like, what?!  Lily pod (or pond/s)?  Hot?  I know summer is here but…  Then it hits me.  And it made more sense.

Hot, lily pod/pond something, music video, rocks, and the oh so overused word, ‘literally’.

This Italo-Venezuelan (and American) beauty is managed by Shots Studios (the company that produces her YouTube videos).  Pons’ forte is slapstick.  Her videos are her playing practical jokes on herself and her friends.  According to her, physical comedy is her favorite type of comedy.

Lele started her career on the video platform, Vine.  She was only 16 when a friend of hers told her to try it out.  Lele became one of Vine’s top users.  She is in the top five in terms of followers and she is credited as the one who coined up the phrase “Do It For The Vine”.  Her Vine video has always been met with positive reception thus earning her a Teen Choice Awards nomination (2014) for “Choice Viner”, a Streamy Awards nomination for “Viner of the Year (2014), and a nomination for “Vine Star of the Year” in 2015.  Lele Pons posts short comedic skits every two weeks on her YouTube channel (we are not surprised that it has over 4 million subscribers).
