Doppelgänger Smoppelgänger
As many Facebookers so eloquently put it-not every brunette looks like Kate Beckinsale. Natch.
A couple of weeks back Facebook decided to make it Doppelgänger week. Grr. I didn’t participate.
Reason? I always get frustrated with these sorts of things because my girlfriends and sisters get compared to really gorgeous celebrities.
Like these:
And, me? Well, here’s who I’ve been told I look like:
So, lemme get this straight … an 8-year old precocious tomboy with the old-lady name of Ramona, a celebrity who often looks as if she just finished sucking on a lemon, and the mousy daughter on Life Goes On.
Awesome.
But, celebrity analysis always wants to put me in a different category (err nationality) all together with these as my top matches.
I give you Lucy Lui and Lisa Ling … um gorge, but I’m not Chinese-American. Although, admittedly I get mistaken for other nationalities often–Chinese being the most common, as well as, anywhere in the Pacific Island region. Post beach vacation I apparently look like a native from Guam.
My twin sister did a fellowship in China several years back and when she showed her flatmates a picture of our family the first response was her friend pointing at me saying, “She one of us.” Screw you Scottish ancestry. You ask, “Am I Chinese?” “Why yes, yes, I am.” But apparently one with a penchant for tart citrus and 10-speed bicycles.
