I was called this a very long time ago. It may be why I’ve looked bigger than I am in person. I’m actually not one of the real producers for Hollywood nor am I an executive of a large or good sized company(within the U.S.A. or elsewhere). In some ways I may have been labeled a false surrogate myself… filling in for someone who lives in another city. If I have been a false surrogate or stand in, I was not made aware of exactly who I look like at a distance.
I am weak, people knew this in the 1970s. I remember some tough adults having a look at me and saying it, “Too weak for mafia. We can still use her though.” I want people to know, I GOT VERY USED. My fear is people are trying to make me look bigger than I am now, and then others in person have the wrong expectations. I was bigger in the 1970s and 80s because I was active, activated and WITH OTHERS who were more well known, globally connected. I had to “die away” because I did get sold out so bigger people could step in and even return to places I had visited. They essentially allowed me a very busy, condensed adult life while I was a youth. I thought I’d be able to join others for workplaces and projects once an adult, however I do recall now I was “demoted” to “influencer” and in the 1970s and 80s it meant someone who can chat with people, not get paid well in life earnings. In fact other influencers I met back then looked very poor, may have been forced to be less “important looking” than local politicians. This is a tough path to be on because it means being lower income and clout than junior and small local politicians who may be very poor and forever not earning much.* In other words, egos and pride are involved.
Even if an influencer has some very good ideas, they/we may have had to be very shrunken/lowered in society just to be smaller than the smallest working politician(s).
Now that I bring this up… it may be why people were so objecting to former President Joe Biden who was known not to have much money. His associates across the country may have also had little money because they were spending it at mafia levels and many people to get him that high up and be there a while.
* To my witness in the 1970s at least, some very real politicians and public servants in general had a family to support which made them cash poor and very frugal in public places. It may have caused them to be angry and jealous possibly evil to influencers who may have been popular and had money from non-governmental as well as governmental sponsorships. Some influencers may have been “owned” by big companies and corporations and looked better sponsored for lobbying ideas than politicians were able to. I am finger pointing a little bit. It could very well be I, as a small influencer, got targeted by political people who just did not have a good income. They made certain I didn’t either!
I’m bringing this up because some people may have hoped I had “money to share”. It is not me. You need better connected people. Influencers typically do not have good money to work with unless they are very protected. I am not.
