Career & YouTube Fame
Christine Riccio, who is often referred to as Xtinemay started her first YouTube channel ‘PolandBananas20’ on March 29, 2006. The channel was targeted towards hosting vlogs, dance videos, and just random funny videos. She came up with the name ‘PolandBananas’ from the Poland Springs bottled drinking water and the fruit, banana to keep her real identity safe from online stalkers. ‘Backhandspring Failure’ a vlog featuring her sister, Olivia was the first video on the channel.
She followed that up by posting dance videos like ‘Lady Gaga – Poker Face’ and ‘Battlefield Music Video’. In 2009, she started getting a massive number of views for her comedic performances in the videos ‘Love Me – Justine Bieber’ and ‘Lady Gaga – Telephone Dance’. Then, ‘Forever And Always - Taylor Swift Music Video’ became the first video on her channel to get over 245k views and her subscriber base grew exponentially.
Around the same time, she also started reviewing books and discussing plot points on her channel ‘PolandBananas20’. Her reviews of Cassandra Clare’s young-adult series ‘The Shadowhunter Chronicles’, brought in a whole new category of viewers. Her love for books, combined with the audience clearly liking the book reviews & discussions, led to the creation of her second channel ‘PolandBananasBooks’ on June 5, 2010.

Mostly focusing on young-adult fiction, her book discussions started getting more and more views. This was largely due to her fun and often comedic way of presentation.
