Angelyne (2022)

She was never a fauxlebrity. She is a pioneer of doing what the Kardashians have done just on a smaller scale. She didn’t get anywhere close to being as famous or wealthy as they did since there was no social media back then. But she did use billboards to great effect to get her name out there.

Going to check this out since I love Emmy (which is what she goes by) & Angelyne. Thanks for commenting to bring it up in the current featured comments.

I agree - I think of her as a hacker working around the system. What she created is basically an early analog version of social media (that’s an extremely heavy lift if you’re not a tech or media company). She ran against Gavin Newsom in the recall election!
