Fame and Reputation Tropes

"A good name is more desirable than great riches, and high esteem, than gold and silver.

Proverbs"

"A celebrity is someone who is well known for being well known"

What people (in general, or at least in groups) think about you -- or how they don't think of you. How you got there. And what it means to you.
