The Blonde Neighbor

---

@lavecinarubia is a funny anonymous instagrammer and influencer born and based in Madrid, Spain. Nobody on the social networks world has seen her face or knows her name. She is known for making jokes about the blonde girls (including herself) and for being in love with the spanish model and actor Jon Kortajarena. She started using therms created by herself and they became famous in just a year. After that, so many people started using them on instagram, including famous people working on the social media industry.

She started using social networks because of a friend, but so many people saw funny content on her posts, so her followers started to increase between 2016 and 2017.

The influencer is famous for her posts, but not for her face. She always covers her face when somebody posts a picture of her, as well as she does when she posts a picture of herself.

History of her social networks

Rubijarena

The term "Rubijarena" is a mix of the names of the instagrammer (La Vecina Rubia) and Kortajarena.

The story between the model and actor Jon Kortajarena and the instagrammer started when he asked for a massage on twitter on June 19th of 2016. @lavecinarubia replied his tweet, he liked it and they started virtually talking. On April 22th of 2017, the National Police of Spain replied her tweet of starting a research to investigate her heart's theft.

Their first meeting was on June 8th of 2017, inside the Santo Mauro hotel in Madrid. Both of them showed us their meeting on their social networks, but the @lavecinarubia's face was covered to keep her anonymity.

Story with the RAE

The instagrammer always sends tweets to the RAE (Real Academia Española), the dictionary of reference of the spanish language. She often sends tweets to them asking for the correct way of spelling or writing concrete words. What is fun of this story is that the Academy, which is an important and recognized institution, replies and answers her. This is an example:

@lavecinarubia: Hi RAE! Sometimes I sing songs like "nace una ilusióoooon" and I don't know if I have to put the accent mark on the first or on the last "o".

@RAEinforma: #RAEconsultas You should put the accent mark on every vocal that you repeat: "Nace una ilusióóóóón"

Book "Inglés para rubias que no tienen un pelo de tontas"

"Inglés para rubias que no tienen un pelo de tontas" is the result of a collaboration between the instagrammer and the Vaughan method.

@lavecinarubia says that the objective of the book is to transform boredom into fun for blondes who don't like to study English but have to.

The book includes eight chapters and a blonde-guide (rubiguía) to improve pronunciation, because "to pronounce good is something of pretty girls", downloadable audios and much more.

The illustrations are from Isa Muguruza and the motto of the book is "Para que te subas al inglés sin despeinarte el pelazo", which means to board the train without disheveled your big hair.

This app is a collaboration of @lavecinarubia with Wiko "Game Changer", which is a french phones brand, of and it's a tool to write correctly. It's available on Apple Store and also on Google Play and in both cases it's free.
