Ylse: A funny Latino web series

Please go watch webisodes of Ylse, about a smart, passionate Mexican-American journalist who prays to Oprah and fights to stay herself in TV La La Land. Then you go pray to whatever virgencita you believe in (or Oprah) that the shows continue or end up on some premium cable channel.

I saw a story in the magazine Latino Future and just watched all the episodes. I particularly loved episode 6 because of the Cuban boyfriend’s annoying Mami. At least I think they’re Cuban. You tell me.

The concept was created by actress Ruth Livier of Resurrection Boulevard.
She’s truly funny. The character says her name is prounounced like “illegal” and “sexy” together. And, she’s none too happy when the vanilla network execs want to change her TV show’s name from Ylse to Maria, or when they hire a scary voice coach to give her a thick Spanish accent.

There’s also some background aqui at Hispanic Trending.

Enjoy.
