Look ma, I'm hiding

Celebrity anti-fashion gets more clicks than celebrity red carpet fashion.

Would you rather see a celeb pancaked and gussied up for a party?

Or the same celebrity trying to sneak an incognito run to the corner for more edibles?

You've seen the shot: sunglasses, forgettable oversized sweats and no name sneakers. 

Celebrities--sweet dimwits that they are--think no one will recognize them.

But slobwear gets more clicks than strutt stuff.

Dirty coats and bathrobes attract more eyeballs.

The paparazzi is relentless.

Stay in your homes, symps.

You can afford Uber eats.

Fascinating fact:  A news photographer named Paparazzo (played by Walter Santesso in the 1960 film La Dolce Vita directed by Federico Fellini) is the eponym of the word paparazzi.

My new word for the day? Eponym.

Eponym ... noun ...a person after whom a discovery, invention, place, etc., is named or thought to be named.
