I am sure, if all her subscribers pinch in a couple of dollars, her teeth will be fixed in no time.
She really is a gem. Did her parents neglect her dental health while growing up?

There’s another “cute” girl as well, the Taiwanese “dodolook”. although she’s a bit more energetic than magibon. Congrously, she has also appeared on TV because of her YouTube fame.

A while back you mused that magibon might be an “extremely smart individual using free tools to market herself ,” and I think you’ve nailed it.

She might be the best-ever example of Andy Worhol’s prediction that in the future (now, that is) everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. I don’t say that as a put-down of magibon…she’s just playing the game, after all, and with *truly* impressive skill. If good things happen for her, it’s because she’s made them happen. I think that’s simply part of the “celebrity process”…it happens by design, not by accident. Sure, it may all have started with “I wonder what I’d look like on my webcam,” but from there, she took it and ran. Sprinted. Hit warp speed.

I agree though that in some of the video coming out of Japan she seems painfully self-conscious and shy. I don’t consider myself a “magibon fan,” but it would have been nice to see her more confident and outgoing. Her YouTube videos demonstrate that she can be charming. But then it’s not everyday that dreams come true…and throw unending media scrutiny into the mix, and the whole thing’s got to be intimidating.
