Meekakitty (real name Tessa Violet) is an American vlogger, actress, singer, and former model, best known for her YouTube videos which are mostly humorous with fast cuts. She grew up in Oregon and performed in theater while in high school. Meekakitty frequently wears a black glasses frame in her videos and is sometimes referred to as a geek girl for having an interest in Digimon, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and The Legend Of Zelda.[1][2] She started vlogging in 2007 for a school project[3] and began to do so daily when she traveled to Hong Kong as a fashion model.[1] Later on she moved to New York and finally to Los Angeles. Her YouTube channel is by now one of the 100 most subscribed and in 2009 she won $100,000 in a YouTube competition in which the most commented video would win.[4][3] Her cousin's roommate at that time, Ray William Johnson, with the currently most-subscribed youtube channel, appealed to his viewers to vote for Tessa on the competition.[5] Beside her own vlogs, she also appears in Ray William Johnson's side project Breaking Los Angeles (and its predecessor BreakingNYC), is the Post Supervisor of Breaking Los Angeles[6] and appeared in three episodes of The Professionals.[7] She recently started to release songs on iTunes and create music videos.[8][2]
