MIDDLEAGEDMINX MEETS LOUISE PENTLAND

One of the originals, ten creative years on KZbin with an ability to re-invent herself, Louise Pentland and I chat in "the smoking area" of London's Ivy Club! We locked the smokers out. I so enjoyed the company of this witty, wise, woman.

Two of my most favourite KZbinrs! And I’m 68 🤪 I absolutely love your content Jo. When I was in my early 20s I lived a couple of minutes from Portland Place in a 2 bed mews Flat, sharing with 4 other girls. Very early on a Friday morning I used to walk up to Marylebone High Street and do my Sainsburys shop for the week, before walking to where I worked in St James’ Square. (Note the apostrophe!) It was one of the happiest times of my life 🥰 I’m now a Granny of 3 children and 4 grandchildren living on the south coast. All a very distant happy memory.

This is excellent, Jo. Really enjoyed Louise and will be checking her out. Really love these extra vlogs.

[@gillsargisson8863]

Lovely to have 2 vlogs this week Jo, great interview with Louise, love you both xx

[@christinehodgson3826]

Love the fact that she developed her career to mirror her own lifestyle changes. Lots of the KZbinrs seem to depend on a very young audience for their popularity.

[@janecox8291]

True how many times can you watch KZbinrs trying vegan at fast food takeouts. All copy each other. Louise unique

[@christopintzis3903]

Great.. Jo ..I love your jacket reminds me of Vintage BIBA...!!

[@kellyblanchfield3340]

I love watching your vlogs Jo, you are a breath of fresh air xx

[@joandoyle4240]

Really enjoyed this midweek vlog, have been watching Louise for years, good interview Jo.

[@pixiekmoon544]

Hi as you know I think your amazing. Seeing that you know Louise was the icing on the cake. Louise has helped me so much through very difficult times in my life. Not only as she ,and this is going to sound weird., but she has been there for me but also for myself and my daughter who were going through a really terrible time in our lives when my daughter was very ill , for many years. She would break up our day and make us smile, laugh ,and cry with her. Louise has also helped me through the passing of my best friend of 40 years where her books gave me something to focus my mind on as I was really struggling with her loss. So not only is Louise a beautiful person inside and out but she has helped sooo much. Again sounds odd when you don’t know someone personally , but I love her very much. I hope that she continues to have her best life all of her life because she deserves it. So thank you to you both. To you showing her to others that don’t know her but to Louise for being very real and sharing her whole life. One day hopefully I will get to meet her and tell her in person. Love to you both hope you have an amazing day 💞xxx

[@DawnsDays]

I loved today's vlog Jo, thank you so much. Louise inspired me to start my own little channel, funnily enough after she stopped with glitter! I too worried about being too old for this malarkey but most of my viewers are from a similar age group (lets leave it at 40 something) so it just goes to show the OGs do have a place in digital media. 🙌😘

[@barbarella9827]

Dawn's Days....I don't think age matters. I'm mid sixties love watching Jo's channel because we get to see London.But I also enjoy dipping into Zoella & Alfie Deyes channel to see what they get up to (plus I LOVE their house). Another favourite is sporgyinherforties a lovely lady lives near Windsor whose also fun to watch! Will have to take a look at your channel x

[@DawnsDays]

@@barbarella9827 Thanks for the recommendations I've not heard of sporgyinherforties, will check her out thanks for the tip! Say hi if you stop by mine, everyone is welcome 😁😘

[@carol9523]

So lovely to have a mid week MiddleAgedMinx, thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and have to admit that I had never heard of Louise (I live on a different planet!). I am now off to find her channel.

[@elisabethdavis9282]

Never heard of her before, she seems nice but Jo you're the real star💗

[@christinehodgson3826]

Just discovered your channel Jo. I’m an oldie from the shires who hails from London. Could you do some content on best days out in London - on the cheap of course? You seem to know lots of hideaway places.

[@elisabethdavis9282]

That's a great idea🤗

[@juneprince-iles8390]

Hi Jo thanks for introducing Louise to me (must admit never heard of her till now - Doh) I'm sure going to look her up now - she's hilarious . Love her easy spontaneous humour , and her story of "The Royals" & "tights" really got me giggling . She kind of reminded me of Miranda Hart ...SUCH FUN !!

[@roslinney4285]

Love Louise, great interview. Love you too Jo x

[@LillyandThings]

How wonderful and lovely this was to watch ❤️ I have followed Louise for a while and love her and you too Jo 💖thank you for sharing this with us!

[@janecox8291]

Love you both and you both have a beautiful voice. Enjoyed thankyou

[@kealeywindle2684]

You nailed it I’m never lonely and thank you xx

[@donnanancekivell9430]

I do know of Louise as I follow her and I think one of the reasons she is so popular is because she is so down to earth.....like you she is relatable Jo and I think it’s fun to see that celebrities have perfectly normal lives and they do the laundry the same as we do......you rightlfully say that Louise is happiest when she is with her family.....the two of you together were a scream............I really enjoyed that interview.........have a wonderful week...........Donna in Toronto

[@queens6583]

I remember watching Louise 10 years ago in the heyday of Zoella and Tonya Burr. Obviously with over 2 million viewers she must be doing something right since she is still around and the others have faded away. I love watching content from every age range because everyone has something to offer. You my dear Jo are becoming an influencer as well, even you if you don't think so now. You've already doubled your subscribers in the past year that I've followed you and 100,000 followers is not so farfetched.

[@Jeaniweeny4242]

Wow great a mid week video 🌷 thanks Jo 🌹

[@sarahgraves7860]

You do such a great interview!

[@AuntyM66]

Wow i love both your dresses Jo and Louise. But i just realised that i have dress similar to the one Louise was wearing. She has got a lovely voice.

[@peacebrooks1818]

What a treat! I've been following Louise for years and now you.❤

[@sarahmilner8483]

Wow a midwk middle aged minx... This feels like BBC Jo though.. I don't feel the real Jo is in this interview.. Maybe you were nervous or something but I'm sure you loved it. Never even heard of this girl BTW!!

[@debraparker2373]

Well what a surprise to get a extra dose of Jo. Could this be a new feature you add . Take care .

[@TheRayjane]

Jo great interview... what a wise young woman and very interesting. She’s comfortable in her own skin and with her life . I’ve now subscribed to her channel and Estee Lalonde whom you introduced on your channel. Thank you !❤️

[@heavenlywingsmd]

2 of my favourite youtubers! x

[@tessabailey2755]

Hmm i didn’t know who Louise was but she seems a really interesting young woman - I do like your blogs Jo always interesting and obviously your interview style is first class cause it’s what you do for a living !

[@sassysuzful]

Lauren Luke was the first 11/12 years ago and was wonderful 👏👏 she’s back making videos, it would be great to interview her Jo, better story I think

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

What a bgrreat idea...right..Im on the trail

[@sassysuzful]

Thanks for your reply Jo, she loves dogs as well!! I see that the Pixiwoos have supported her return by sending her a box of goodies, I’m sure that the majority of successful present day you tubers were inspired by her, I was living in London 2008/09 and her videos got me through long dreary winter days😩😩

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

@@sassysuzful just watched a documentary on her..she is so authentic

Oh also the tights thing when you do get then on a pair of knickers over the top in the same colour are an extra keep them upper. 😂 and yes my kids think it hilarious 🤣💗

[@lindaheathcote1696]

Who is she??. Never heard of her... hopefully better interviews in the future. Xx

Yay for extra Jo! Nice to meet Louise.

Smoking ereas are becoming more attractive, inviting & comfortable, and why not??. We are not all addicts, some of us enjoy a drink and a ciggy. Xxx

[@jenniferbate9682]

linda heathcote Linda, can’t disagree more. Fresh air is so good when eating in a restaurant or just having a coffee. People can smoke as much as they like, so long as I don’t have to inhale their rubbish!

Louise is fab but believe it or not Jo, **YOU** are the new generation influencer. Minxes of any age are the KZbinrs of the future. BTW...you’re a lot more interesting than any silly Henry Moore sculpture. 🌹❤️

I wondered if there was something wrong with me because I wasn’t impressed by the sculpture lol -glad you said it too

You mean grackle? She has a lovely personality.

But you managed to comment for attention

[@Louisepentland]

Hi Chocky, I'm sorry to hear this. Obviously I never want people to feel this way but totally respect your right to curate who you watch. Sorry to have not worked out for you and hope you still continue to enjoy Jo's other videos x

[@janecox8291]

Well put ms pentland. You have a beautiful way with words. You should write a book. Oh wait you have x

[@corl1136]

Influencer, so sad people need to watch someone put laundry in washing machine. Sad people need to watch simplicity to fulfill their life. "Watching someone cleaning is mesmerising" , please is this for real.

Yep ...try it.....beats action movies

Isn't self righteous outrage fun? I do it whenever I can. (laughing) I found her fun and easy to listen to/watch. Thanks Jo I will look her up. Signed 74 but who cares.

[@jennyoshea1958]

Can't understand why you chase after young vloggers. They are not interested in oldies. Is it to attract more subscribers for you or them? It reeks of desperation. Your Mum and Matilda are much more interesting in my opinion.

[@asweetiepiebtw2032]

jenny why so passimistic?

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Because I have an admiration for them. They have created audiences that many "main stream" entertainers can only dream about. I earn my living interviewing successful people. When I was an actress this platform didnt exist...then along comes KZbin and people like Louise...had enough charisma that people at home wanted to watch their lives play out. To have an audience the size of hers...and to have kept them....is because people, such as myself, find her intriguing and "watchable"
