Re: The First Influencer
We meet Crooga, Grooga, and Oola, three Cro-Magnon women. In the midst of their disgusting hygiene and tribal sex morés, we learn about primordial branding, advertising, and perhaps the very first application of make up.

Re: The First Influencer
I just attended a virtual interview with Jen Spyra with a local Rabbi. She is very high energy, funny, and knowledgeable about comedy (18 years of stand up) and writing (Colbert, Onion, and soon a novel). They ended with a Q & A and read the question I submitted.
"The First Influencer documents the primordial first application of make up. What do those details say about modern beauty schemes?"
Jen liked that a man asked that question. Her answer is the story is about the very first person who was cool. It's not so much a commentary on modern beauty schemes as on how "the old is new and the new is old. How nothing really changes..."
