Living doll: Venus as she appears on one of her internet videos

A 15-year-old girl who transforms herself into a 'living doll' for YouTube videos has become a global star after attracting a staggering ten million hits.



Venus Palermo, who poses in doll-like clothing and offers tips to viewers on turning themselves into similar living dolls, has become an internet sensation thanks to her tips on achieving the bizarre look.

Venus Palermo's living doll videos go global as she hits TEN MILLION mark on YouTube -  but critics say sexualised images could have 'disastrous consequences'


Together, the hits on her YouTube channel now total more than 10 million, with one video - How To Look Like A Doll - attracting almost 1.7m viewers alone. 

Internet hit: Venus Palermo's YouTube channel has attracted 10 million views, with one video, How To Look Like A Doll, drawing almost 1.7m hits
Many of those viewing the videos are rapturous about the young girl's appearance, taking to the comments boards in their droves to remark upon her wide eyes, clever make-up application or rose-bud lips.

Others are damning, with one pointing out that a 15-year-old girl should have more concerns than an obsession with make-up. 
'You look and sound like a complete freak,' one user wrote. 'You're 15 - you don't need make-up! You should get some counselling. You had no father in your life and your mum obviously treated you like a doll as you're all she had. You shouldn't post videos on here encouraging normal kids to your WEIRD and unnatural ways.'


YouTube hit: Venus's channel on the video-sharing website has reached a staggering 10 million people and has 30,000 subscribers

Dividing opinion: Many of the 1.7m people who have viewed Venus's channel are fans of her look, but others complain her obsession is unhealthy
Another wrote it was 'narrow-minded' to be so focused on one's appearance. 'Seeing young girls changing themselves and not loving their body or face and still doing nothing, this is narrow-minded, my friend.'
Coming out in her defence, another user wrote that in Japan, such 'Lolita' styling is completely normal. 

'On the contrary, Venus is not conforming to the ridiculous standards that society considers "pretty" and is simply following the 'Lolita' style that is very popular in eastern Asia,' they wrote. 'Also, why do you feel the need to be so rude? You may not like this video but that does not give you the right to insult a young girl, it's just being downright rude and narrow-minded.'
Last week, MailOnline reported that Venus, known online as Venus Angelic, had appeared on ITV morning television programme Daybreak along with her mother, who defended her daughter's choice of lifestyle. 

Masterclass: Venus explains it takes only 15 minutes to achieve the look using powder, light pink eyeshadow, mascara, lip liner and gloss

Uncanny: One of her top tips is to use contact lenses with a full, opaque color to make your eyes look doll-like
