Who Do You Look Like?

So, I was reading Nanette's blog the other day and she got a shout out on Pop Candy! Go Nanette! I love her blog (calm down, Geoff - I love yours too).

Anywho - she mentioned that she gets told that she looks like Janeane Garofalo a lot.

If you check out Nanette's page, I think you'll see it too. She used to not really take it as a compliment and I can understand why in the sense that JG isn't really "known" as being a beauty but I think she is and she's hilarious to boot. Can't beat that!

The Mr. gets told A LOT that he looks like Bradley Cooper. Here are some photos for comparison:
The Mr (who probably will hate that I posted this picture):


Bradley Cooper:


I see it although its hilarious that a lot of people for awhile didn't know that actor's name so they'd scream at The Mr and say, "You know who you look like?? The asshole boyfriend from "Wedding Crashers"!!

So... I generally get told that I look like asian celebrities. Lucy Lui, Lisa Ling... and I don't look like either. Within the last year, many folks in my department have told me that I looked like some chick from the TV show "Bones". One man was so insistent on it that he taped the frickin' show for me so I could see for myself. Observe, ladies and gentleman.

Me:


The chick from "Bones" (Michaela Conlin):


I guess I see the resemblence but it has more to do with the fact that this actress is half asian and half white. I guess it could be worse, huh? I could be told that I look like Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's":


**Edit** Thanks to Ryan, I remembered 2 other "people" that I've been told I resemble:

Yes, that's Lilo... of Lilo and Stitch fame.


And yes, that is Mulan.

Who have you been told that you look like?

Oh and I guess I should add that I was once told that I looked like Jessica Alba. Ha! Yeah right!

I love Janeane Garofalo!!!!
I think she's hot AND funny!!!

I can definitely see how the Mr looks like this Bradley Cooper fella too...they're both pretty hot!! Whew!!

Ok, this boy in San Fran told me that I reminded him of Michael Vartan from Alias, but he was just trying to get in my pants...I get Bill Gates a LOT more (especially when I'm rocking the glasses)

Yeah.... I have been told "Tummy from the Gummi Bears" talk about self-esteem builders

You do look a lot like that girl from Bones and the Mr. does look like Bradley Cooper.

I always get the girl from the B'52s and -- wait for it -- a young Angela Lansbury (circa Chitty Chitty Bang
Bang). So much so that I was sitting in a bar in Spain and the bartender, in his broken English, asked me if I knew the "Murder She Wrote".

back in high school a couple people told me i looked like terri hatcher but since then i've gotten catherine zeta jones and ruthie from the real world.

Awww, thanks for the love. :)

I, too, can see the Bradley Cooper resemblance.

And of all the options you gave for yourself, I'd have to say Jessica Alba is probably the closest.

You actually remind me of an old college roommate of mine who was half Spanish/half White. You have the same big, beautiful smiles and olive skin! Plus you're both tiny lil' thangs. I'll have to scan a pic and send it to ya.

omg, i totally see the reseblance between the mr. and ::droooooooool:: oh, huh, what? where was i? oh, yeah ... yeah, so ... i love that show 'bones' and i can totally see the resemblance there too with you. jessica alba? not so much ... not a big fan of jessica alba and, honestly, that dark angel cannot hold a candle to the beauty that is you. you, my dear twinkie, are luscious and exotic and positively asiany and i adore that about you!

i was told once, by several different people at different times, that i resembled hugh grant, but only from my nose up. seriously? wtf does that mean? i don't think i look like him at all. dunno. i think i look more like corky from 'life goes on', but, well, that's just my ego talking! obladee.

Sometimes I get told that I look like exactly Matthew McConaughey or Brad Pitt and often have to beat off hot women trying to rip off my clothes. But in high school I was told that I looked like Ritchie Cunningham from Happy Days.
