A critical review of Michelle’s latest short film
Given the beautiful, dreamy colouring of the shots, the amazing scenery/location which Paris provides, the nice music, the good looking guy and outfits {even if her heels are always ‘too much’ and if you did take a stroll all over town with those on, you’d most likely sprain your ankle}, this short movie could have been enjoyable. Since I’m feeling generous, I’d even count the obvious ‘kind souls help strangers in danger’ message as a pro, not to mention the lovely improvement that was not being subjected to hearing her cheesy voice overs.
What unfortunately overshadows all of this is how predictable, boring, uninspiring the story line is. I hate how she conveys always the same message - girls are all just secretly waiting for their prince charming to sweep them off their feet and take them away to live their perfect happily ever after. Of course, the guy has to be famous/rich too in order to properly fit into this scenario {the guy from her first movie clearly was a trust fund baby and this Dominique one is obviously somewhat of a teen idol, chased by fans and having access to TVs} and the girl is always doing nothing meaningful with her life on her own, since she’s ready to drop everything in order to just follow him. I’m not trying to diminish the importance of love, but the fact she seems to imply that it’s the ONE thing you have to wait/hope for and revolve around rubs me the wrong way.
It’s just a guess, of course, but her being so obsessed with such fantasies denotes how much she wishes her life really was like this, with hot guys falling in love with her without even knowing her- she uses these ‘movies’ as a source of narcissistic supply, imho- meaning she makes them for no one other than herself, thus explaining the lack of a good/varied message in all of them.
The practical oxymorons in this have already been pointed out by a lot of other users, but for the sake of redundancy:
1} You don’t try and force a drunk/high stranger on the verge of passing out to have a date with you, you seek medical help. This just goes to show how even her altruistic gesture is in reality self centered, especially considering how she just abandoned him there when he proved to be not a company good enough for her.
2} The famous star you treated in such a manner would most likely not be looking everywhere for you, considering the fact you did not even spend any quality time together. Of course, the drunk, blurred half memory of Michelle’s charming face and the lipstick trace are enough to lure him in, though, aren’t they?
3} He wouldn’t know it was really her he was chasing after. It could be that his hobby is to run though- away from fans, after random strangers who could be the random stranger who tried to date his drunk self and then left him…
4} You don’t drop everything off to go away with the drunk guy you semi-helped, semi-used the day before, knowing nothing about him. Not only such an attraction is shallowly appearance based, it is also -and mostly- dangerous. The one time you saw him he was bumping into people and fainted because of the use of some substance, now he appears out of thin air right in front of you- I would be thinking this guy is a dangerous stalker rather than the love of my life, but that could be me being cynical.

Michelle Phan and Animal Testing
This article is not designed as an argument for or against animal testing. Instead, it is an article exploring Michelle’s claims that the companies she works/worked for do not test on animals.
Michelle Phan has been claiming for a long time now that the company she works for, Lancome, does not test on animals.
The Cult of Michelle Phan
Michelle Phan. For those who don’t know, she is the former Ringling art student who gained worldwide notoriety for her YouTube channelwhere she would create makeup tutorials that are a huge a hit, particularly with the teens. Many of the videos have well over one million views. This led to a position with Lancome, the makeup and skin care company. She is also a superstar on the social networks with well over 500,000 “likes” on her Facebook fan page and nearly 150,000 followers on Twitter. However, this all leads to the dark side of Phan and her militia of followers. There is an almost blind loyalty to Phan and a zombie-like, robotic reaction to anything she posts.
More insanity from Michelle's "Phans".
It’s not a surprise to anyone at this point that a majority of Michelle’s fan base is made up of absolute assholes. They certainly reflect the personality of their guru.
Michelle recently made an announcement of a fake Facebook page and asked her fans to flag it only because people were saying rude things about her on it. 1. It’s the internet, Michelle. Get used to it. No one did anything outstandingly bad. 2. So, the other fake pages are okay? I see how it is.
Rockstar Look for Guys
Michelle disabled the ratings and comments section of her latest video, but not before someone managed to take a few screenshots of the overwhelmingly negative feedback.
