\n By now, we\u2019ve all heard about the viral, insane story of @fashionambitionist.
\n <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \"New\n <\/p>\n

\n On Tuesday, the Instagram world FREAKED out over what seemed to be the absolute cutest and most romantic start of a proposal. EVER. Marissa Fuchs (Director of Brand Parnterships & Sales at Goop \u2014 keep this in mind as you read) was thrown off guard when her boyfriend started her on a journey to find him. The end result? Well, definitely an engagement\u2026but could there also be a wedding too?\n <\/p>\n

\n From surprise guests to Flywheel to a Glamsquad appointment to a canceled Blade (due to weather, #firstworldproblems) to a car ride out to the Hamptons to a flight to Miami to shopping to PARIS\u2026the entire digital space seemed to be completely fixated on what could be one of the coolest proposals of all time. And to be honest\u2026I was invested as well. It was really freakin\u2019 cute! I mean, WHAT A GUY!!!\n <\/p>\n

\n As the story unraveled and still no proposal, I started getting a weird feeling about what was going on. I mean, the brand tags (brands that I
\n
\n know
\n <\/strong>
\n enjoy working with bloggers\/influencers) alone were enough to raise red flags. That\u2019s what REALLY stood out to me, because as someone who uses this space to work with brands\u2026I do the same thing. But to the average Instagram user, it was still a dream come true journey. In my head: Could this
\n
\n actually
\n <\/strong>
\n be a ridiculous publicity stunt?\n <\/p>\n

\n Turns out, it sure is.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n YES, THAT IS RIGHT. AN ENTIRE DECK WAS CREATED FOR THIS DAMN PROPOSAL\/ENGAGEMENT\/WEDDING.
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/h4>\n

\n Yup. That\u2019s RIGHT. Before this proposal even started, brands knew what was coming. And why? So they could get in on the proposal, and have A LOT of eyes on their products or services. DUH. A brand\u2019s dream, right? Makes total sense from a marketing standpoint.\n <\/p>\n

\n Given any other circumstance, this would be an awesome opportunity to partner with brands. But for an engagement? I\u2019m not so sure I\u2019m loving the idea of an engagement being a complete spectacle. And then there\u2019s the other side of this.\n <\/p>\n

\n I
\n
\n
\n
\n read an insanely good article
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n and there was a quote from an ad executive basically saying THERE IS NO WAY SHE DIDN\u2019T HAVE A HAND IN THIS. I mean, Matt knows a lot about what I do, but would he be able to put together something like this?! Hell to the no. Even with the help of Hayden or Allie, I don\u2019t think they\u2019d be able to put together something that has MY business attached to it without me having any knowledge. I\u2019ve seen a lot of arguments that don\u2019t believe she had anything to do with it\u2026but\u2026I\u2019m still not buying it.\n <\/p>\n

\n And remember what I said before about what Marissa does for a living? Yeah, girl knows how brand partnerships work. (
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Allie
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/strong>
\n did make a great point though. If she DID have a hand, she thinks things would have went smoother given her career.)\n <\/p>\n

\n Does anyone see an issue with this? Or is it just me? The whole thing just feels super inauthentic now.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n Which brings me to my next point.
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/h4>\n

\n It\u2019s almost insane that this is how influencers\u2019 minds work nowadays. No, actually it is insane. Here\u2019s my opinion: At the end of the day, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d want to sacrifice an extremely special time in my life just for a few brand partnerships or a few thousand followers. Maybe that\u2019s because I\u2019m not a large influencer by any means, and I don\u2019t rely on partnerships to help me live or care to
\n
\n
\n really
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n incorporate them in every aspect of my life?\n <\/p>\n

\n Again, just my opinion, but I think there are a lot of people out there that
\n
\n would do the same thing Marissa\/her team\/her boyfriend\/whatever
\n <\/strong>
\n is doing. And I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m into it or \u201cproud\u201d to be part of that type of community. Honestly, I think it fuels the fire to the whole \u201cbloggers\/influencers are entitled, get whatever they want, aren\u2019t authentic\u201d argument.\n <\/p>\n

\n I know there\u2019s going to be differing opinions (ahem,
\n
\n
\n
\n ALLIE
\n <\/a>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/strong>
\n , PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS;)), but these are mine, and I\u2019m super open to having a conversation about this!\n <\/p>\n
