An unknown illustrator who films her every move and interacts with strangers for hours at a time has become one of the internet's biggest celebrities - and she's only been online for 29 days.
Amanda Oleander, 25, is one of the stars of Periscope, Twitter's new live broadcasting platform and has been 'loved' over 7.5 million times in less than a month since it launched.
Branded the Kim Kardashian of the social platform, when the brunette starts a live stream, thousands of Periscope users around the globe stop what they're doing to watch.

In a recent broadcast, Amanda addressed her audience via her iPhone from her LA bedroom: 'Do you know the power that we have? Do you guys understand what is happening.
'This is crazy!' Amanda continued during her bedroom broadcast, and before she has even taken a breath, hundreds of hearts flutter on to her screen - more tokens of 'love' from the thousands of people watching.
Last month, the art graduate was going about her anonymous life as an illustrator for entertainment site E! Online but her Periscope broadcasts, which show her going about her daily business in LA, have catapulted her into the limelight.
And so far she has had little competition from 'real' celebrities. Ellen DeGeneres is the highest ranking star but is trailing behind Amanda with a mere three million 'loves'.
'This is like a reality show, but it’s not scripted,' Amanda tells her thousands of viewers continuing her bedroom broadcast.
'Before this happened I always thought I'd love to share my life with more people because I’m always up to really spontaneous things.'
Amanda mulls over the day during a live broadcast, whilst she chats to the viewers messaging her (which appear on left of screen). So far she has been 'loved' 7.5million times, shown by hearts on the right
The new app not only allows users to stream live video to anyone on Earth who wants to watch, but allows viewers to chat to the broadcaster in real time by typing messages that pop up on screen.
So Amanda's monologue is peppered with shout-outs and answers to questions from her viewers.
'Hey Charles,' she says acknowledging a new follower. 'I was going to sleep when I thought about this last broadcast. Arlene you’re funny!' she continues in reference to a message, then 'You’re so beautiful' pops up from @Arlene.
'I don’t know how many of you saw me tonight,' she says. 'We randomly talked to my neighbour, then I went to see my friend Yonatan. Then I met with a Periscope follower for the first time.'
A little yellow square with the message 'Show us your boobs' flashes up on screen.
'Why would you do that?' she adds. 'Now you're blocked forever.'
A live webcam platform, may seem to have porn written all over but users won't be flashing anything X-rated during broadcasts - nudity is banned.
Although bought by Twitter in January for close to $100million (£67million), Periscope is a tech mash-up of selfies, social networking and reality TV, only launched last month,
Twitching curtains to peek at the neighbours may still be a 'no' but watching Amanda randomly go about her day? That's 'way cool', to quote the star herself.
And like all the best social networking platforms, the content need not be thrilling to grab considerable global attention.
In the last 24 hours, Amanda has broadcast some mundane errands, some sitting in traffic in her Prius (phone in recording mode balanced on her dash board, of course) and a random chat with her neighbour
In the last 24 hours, Amanda has broadcast herself going on mundane errands, sitting in traffic in her Prius (phone in recording mode balanced on her dash board, of course) and a random chat with her neighbour.
Five hours before her bedtime round-up, Amanda was broadcasting live from an LA bar, watching her friend Yonatan perform the bass guitar.
'I'm drinking water. I don't like to drink alcohol,' Amanda tells viewers in answer to their questions, before introducing some followers she's come across at the bar.
'Hey we're double Persicoping,' she says capturing her new friends waving their phones in the air capturing her capturing them. But it's all too much - even for Amanda.
'We’re going to get off the phone soon so we can enjoy each others' real company,' she says.
What will today hold for Amanda when she wakes up in a few hours time? Judging by today, perhaps a trip to the post office, a bit of sitting in traffic and a lot of mulling over the wonders of her new found mutual love for Periscope.
Sound thrilling? Don't be shy to admit it. Millions agree.
