Social media superstar Addison Rae is heralded as a brand new type of celebrity for the Instagram Age.
But in a way, it seems, she is using the same old tricks as her ancestors.
Rae, 20, has been in New York recently, and while she is certainly producing quite a bit of her own #content for her own social feeds, Page Six is informed of this – in a direct move from the introductory course at the Kardashian Institute of Advanced Fame Graspery – her team has also warned the old paparazzi about his whereabouts.
And it seems to be working. While we are told that she is staying at a relatively unusual hotel – as in, not one of the paparazzi meeting places like the Mercer at Greenwich – she has, however, been photographed all over the city.
We have been told that Rae seems particularly interested in making sure that his style has been well documented by the press.
Rae’s prehistoric ancestors – who dominated the use of rough stone tools and BlackBerrys – were well known for leveraging the then burgeoning pap smear industry, summoning their favorite photographers to Fred Segal with the fall of a Von Dutch cap.
Rae is famous for being friends with the Kardashian clan, so maybe she is getting tips.
The representatives did not answer us.
