The popular Paparazzi GIFs everyone's sharing

Lady Shutterbug had doubt
Spent hours that coulda been ‘bout
an environ pro-activist devout    
Spotting celebrities, scoping it out
Not keeping abreast trendy starlets 
Kylie, Mavee, Cardi B, or Scarlet
Yet little does she regret, 
out of the loop during covid19
Paparazzi never meant anything
Albeit a lucrative livelihood and scene
Standing by on Friday night
Perchance a celebrity sight
Star gazing she’d eagerly mull over
Adeptly cunning at recognition, 
Spotting celebs with innate intuition
Beverly Hills
Walk of Fame premier thrills
N’er will she stalk, push, shove, or duck
Pose, get the snapshot with some luck
Easily star-struck a fan of many 
She never imagined chasing celebs aplenty
Or miss the money shot!
Warranting ‘tis’nt for her 
In this “Designer Dupe” culture 
Bougi's swarm like vultures
How would she know if a star strutted by
“Popface” got it covered AI
A new project 
Snap
Click, click, click
flashes go off
Shutter speeds 
all she needs
Plastic perfection abounds                                                                                            
follow ‘em around?
Lady Shutterbug won’t chase down
Stands by her hometown
Seeks adventure without fear
Grins from ear to ear
Cozy in her SUV
Yeah, lowkey 
Adeptly cunning at recognition
Spots them with her intuition
Pop up prominent restaurant
Lavish L.A. luxurious Rennaissant
Reborn rich ‘lish fancy
Spacious buoyancy
Exotic cocktail lounge, sunken gardenet, check
Open patio lit at sunset, check
Mediterranean & Steak buffet, check
Valet parking, check, check, check
All the markings of a high-end hot-spot
Edgy crowd smoking pot
Plastic perfection abounds    
A bourgeois turnaround                                                                                  
What Lady Shutterbug mistook for stars                                        
were look-a-likes inside high-end bars
Designer imitations, clothes, shoes, bags and cosmetics
As cheaper alternative tricks             
All resembling famous celebs, 
the atmosphere’s feelin good
A lil tipsy in the hood
All engaging in vocal and visual vibrancy 
showing off youthful dynamisim, unencumbered joy
And so Lady Shutterbug overtly observes 
It’s what she prefers
She’s reassured with or without
a genuine star to capture, it’s time out 
A musing gaze, a sweet sigh
Click, click, click, flash goes off
She remains stealthily nigh

Anaya, it's getting tougher and tougher to decipher reality from a fake copy. I suppose there's a lot to just observe and think about in places celebs haunt. I wonder where this all ends? Good to know you have sensibility!! It's hard to keep things in perspective as you suggest, but keeping low key in certain situations isn't a bad thing. There certainly is money involved in pictures. You've covered a lot of ground!

Great flow to your poem.. You described it very well, how many a celebrity live their life and always have to be a certain way.. some love it, but I think after a while many get fed p with it all..

Even Taylor Swift's dad Papa Swift was recently sued for protecting his daughter. This is about the look-a like's, there is an app called Popface and its purpose, recognition. Dupe is where you can buy knock offs legally. Thank you for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it Silent One.
