it's a sign of the times..or age.. that ancient hedda (who at least still looks gorgeous and 20 years younger than his aging bones ) cannot get his head around "influencers" (and invented word).

While I'm pretty well out of the "scene" now I still recall pr people inviting so-called influencers to events and sending out their names in press releases as though they were celebrities.

People go to great lengths to get anything that is free.

I know it has been around a while but I can't get my head around Pokemon. My nephew has tried to explain his obsession to me. But it seems to me to just be looking for imaginary creatures wherever I happen to be...It sounds soo boring to me..

I suppose there have always been "influencers" Hedda (awful word I agree) just online now. Buy why do they always seen to influence for shallow causes and lifestyles. Or perhaps those are just the ones who end up in the media...
