Yes, it's been Doppleganger week on facebook and though I think it's over, most moms are just now catching on. (Hi Mom!) I get told I look like a lot of people, more so when I was younger and dealt with the public. What I think they really meant was "Oh my gosh you look a hint like her and have dark hair". To qualify for my shortened list of look-a-likes, I have had to be told I look like this celebrity at least 3 times.
Jana insists I look like her. I'm not flattered.
My sisters use to say Fran. I least they didn't say I sounded like her. (I recently heard she was appointed as an international ambassador. Can you imagine what that country must think Americans sound like?)
"And you make me think of her too!" Really? I'm guessing it's my charming sarcasm rather than heavy drinking. But I think she's really funny. Turn the Tub Around!!
Oh no. Not her again. I'm the Poor-Man's-Stacey Clinton, of Hillsboro.
I want you to notice a pattern here: loud mouth jewish women. And then there was Audrey Tautou. I have never seen and hope never to see The Divenchy Code, but I heard it a lot when Amelie came out.
Like I would wear that haircut.
Lastly, who does Janalee look like? She has heard Lisa Kudrow but does not find that flattering. Let's help her out.
Comment on what ever you want. Please. Feel free to tell me who you get told you look like but do not like the comparison.
The end.

My girls are the ones who insist you look like anne.
and you forgot Delta and...Bella.
you never should have put that pic up of me. I only like it when it's really small. like on a profile. lately I've been wondering if I look like barbara streisand. and that's not flattering either.
jana - maybe mischa barton?
according to myheritage.com i look like lisa ling, but i dont really see it.
I love matching people to their celebrity look-alikes. But since I have only met Jana once (briefly), I have a hard time matching her up to someone since I don't know her mannerisms. But just glancing at her picture her eyes remind me a little of Rosanna Arquette. No?
Anyways Jana your kinda like your own celebrity due to your famous blog.
People always tell me that I look like Julia Stiles and it bums me out, it shouldn't, but it does. Once in a while someone will say I look like Kiera Knightly (a little stretch) and I am much more happy about. that.
You know what? You look like beautiful, talented, amazing Alisha to me. You are a celebrity in your own right. I HATED that doppelganger thing - I think "celebrity" is one of the WORST addictions we have in this country. I'll try not to get going on this and just tell you, beautiful, talented, intelligent, fun, creative, amazing woman that you are, Alisha, that comparing ourselves to celebrities...looking for those comparisons, heeding them, thinking about them, listening to them, giving one single shred of time to this pursuit gives "celebrities" way more than their due in a culture that is mindlessly soaked in the pursuit of fame and fortune. Okay...sorry...I guess I got going on it.
When I first got married my husband's cousins thought I looked like Chelsea Clinton--Bill Clinton was in office at the time. They are Dems so that probably wasn't meant to be an insult but growing up in a fairly Rep. area I didn't think it was a compliment since all I had ever heard was how ugly she was.
Alisha reminds me of Catherine Zeta Jones and Ava Gardner on her glamorus days.
Jana reminds me of a young Marg Helgenberger. Jana is a very pretty girl next door type, but I think she would up the hotness factor with her hair like this (ignore the scandalous attire)...

I have been compared to Dot from Animanics multiple times. My husband thinks I look like Mrs. Potts when my cheeks get chubby (he insists he thinks she's hot for a tea pot). Black people think I look like Celine Dion and White people (at least in the 90's) Thought I looked like Tia and Tamera from Sister, Sister (TGIF!).
Chris, I agree Celebrity fixation, worship, admiration, all that-awful.
But I think people, including myself, enjoy finding similarities in other people. But since not everyone knows 'my sisters' or 'the Fred Meyer checkout lady with hair like mine', we pick celebrities. Of course the idea that we are compared to someone more glamour is (supposedly) flattering, but I hope everyone realizes it's just silly.
Angie, don't forget a non-african american, younger Michelle Obama!
Rebecca, that's so mean! You don't look like Chelsea C. and it's so mean that everyone was saying she was ugly. She was innocent in her celebrity status.
Awesome, you're cracking me up. What about Victoria Beckham?
Posh Spice?! Thanks but if anyone looks like her I think it's Ksenia, especially since she cut her hair.
Rebecca looks like Naomi Watts.
I accidentally capitalized the T in "Thought" on my last comment. I thought I looked like "Curly Sue" (I had bad perms from age 8-19).
All of your least favorite comparisons are better than mine. Mr. Ed. For the all gum smile.
Yes, high school was traumatizing.
ooooo I really do like that hair, Awesome - thanks for the pic.
Rachel- What jerks! They are going to be sorry when they're old and nearly toothless from their lack of gums. I'm not even that old and my gums are starting to recede. Wonder if I'll need a gum transplant when I'm 40... You have a great smile and remind me of a white Kelly Rowland (from Destiny's Child).
Jana, the picture of you just has a story to tell: it's like you are leaning forward and anxiously awaiting to hear more! You're all,"I want to know more!"
Alisha, you are kind of a conglomeration of all the women:
Lips of Anne
Nose of Fran
Karen's sassy mouth
and Stacey London's pout (etc)
As far as the desserts, nothing makes me more insane as cooking from a sick house. Since Trevor felt fine later and nothing came of it, it's probably okay. Probably nohing infectious.
I just hate it when people bring over desserts after Bruce has just admitted their kid/spouse to the hospital for some horrible ailment- I aint touchin that and thank you so much for coming into my home and spreading that to my BABY!
But for the record, I've never had anything delivered to me on a DOra plate!
Aww thanks, Awesome. :) I'm not sure how much you had to dig to come up with KR, but I'll take it.
"... loud mouth jewish women."
So does that mean you look like me? :-p
