Do you ever see someone and think: gee – they look like so-and-so?
Who hasn’t thought that?
Somebody recently said that my husband looks like Vigo Mortgensen. And, hello? I won’t argue with that!
I’ve been told I look a bit like Parker Posie. Or some girl on a Witch tv show. Uhhh… Not so sure about that one…
Anyway, have you ever been told you look like someone? Who’s your skinonym?
Vigo Mortensen – that’s hilarious. I can totally see it.
People say I look like a host from some MTV show, a dude from Super Bad, and some guy from American Idol a few years back….
I don’t think I have seen any of them.
My favorite is when people tell me about my skinonym but don’t tell me their name.
“You look like that guy, from that movie, with that girl…”
haha Yeah. That makes me crazy because it’s impossible to google it!
I had to look up Mr. Vigo. And then I realized it was that dude in 28 days, and I remember being so weirded out that he looked so much like Drew…and that he was playing opposite Sandra Bullock, who kinda reminds me of you… WEIRD!
As for me…
I get Kate Hudson all. the. time.
Even from strangers, which is odd but funny.
And of course, I don’t mind…she’s adorable.
Kate Hudson a thousand times!!! I completely agree. Didn’t we talk about that?
i think so, actually!
i like to casually bring it up in convos from time to time.
“hey, by the way…people tell me i look like kate hudson. cool, right?”
heh…
hahaha. Girl you are funny!
I get the guy from The Wonder Years all the time. (not Kevin, but his friend.)
Ahhh…. I can see that!
barbara jean from the show reba. :O
One of the most popular restaurants in our area is called “Barbara Jean’s” – everybody (but me) loves it!
Wait….(gasp, breath)…(another gasp)…
Why don’t you like Barbara Jeans?
I’m sorry. It’s just that… well… I’d rather have 4th of May.
People used to tell me I looked like Moira Kelly. This morning at Starbucks one of the baristas said I looked like her best friend with the way I have my hair up today.
Cool!
this is funny… Todd had a look alike at college… it was freaky. Some people have said I look like Sigourney Weaver, same nose? I don’t see it. I did see my look-a-like on a church powerpoint once… you know, one of those random imagines of smiling people that churches use. And I’ve seen Ava’s look-a-like in a Magazine (it took my breath away it was such a likeness)… my mom got the same mag and she called me right after she saw the pic gasping!
Only a bit like Sigourney. But I can see it.
EVERYONE used to say I look like Molly Ringwald.
I was not flattered.
Quite a few have said I look like Martina McBride. I think it has less to do with how I look and more about the fact I used to sing. But I at least was flattered that time
You’re much cuter than Molly! I actually saw a girl TODAY that reminded me of you. Today.
But, you’re cuter than her as well.
ooooh yeah! Gitz, I got Molly Ringwald constantly as I was growing up. I HATED IT. I don’t know why b/c now that I’m an adult, I think she has a prettiness about her. But as a kid, oh dang did I hate it!
I totally forgot (blocked) about that until now! haha!
I get Val Kilmer from the Blankenships.
Hmmm…. They must be trying to bribe you.
Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes)… the Dr. with the cane on E.R.? I was offended because she is TWENTY YEARS OLDER THAN ME. Ahem.
Ouch! At least you have a sense of humor about it.
….right?
I don’t know that actress’s name (the one from Charmed), but I can see it. And Parker Posie. Maybe if the Charmed lady and Parker Posie had a daughter…
When I was in high school, Party of Five was popular and people said I looked like Neve Campbell.
“Maybe if the Charmed lady and Parker Posie had a daughter…”
Um… Last time I checked (and believe me, with all this infertility stuff, I think I’m up-to-date) it still takes a sperm and an egg.
What? Wait, HOW long has it been since I took biology? KIDDING.
HAHA!!! I’m so glad you came back to read my reply.
I don’t really have a skinonym but if anyone ever tells me that I look like someone famous it is usually someone very pale with overly large eyes and dark hair. I”m cool with that though- if Anne Hathway, Fiona Apple, and Emmy Rossum are pale and famous, I tell myself it’s only a matter of time for me…
OH goodie!
Can I have your pre-autograph?
I get mistaken for Nemo often.
(Although I don’t have a lucky fin.)
hahaha! You’re funny. Nemo references came up a bit this weekend: “Fish are friends, not food.”
Sandy Duncan.
Do you know who she is or was she WAAAAAAY before your time?
uh…. um…. Well, Red, there’s just no good way for me to answer this question truthfully.
when i was a kid, Melissa Gilbert on Little House on the Prairie. (which i LOVED)
nothing that stands out as an adult.
Any pics of Melissa Gilbert these days?
I get told I look like RANDOM people all the time. Some of them famous, most of them not. I ALWAYS look like someone’s relative. Always. A relative I’ve never seen so I can’t compare either. So I never know if that’s good or bad.
As for famous, I’ve gotten Renee Zellweggar HUNDREDS of times. I also get Laura Linney on all those internet “match me to someone famous” thingys. I’ve gotten a couple others but can’t remember…. b/c they were only like once each time. But the Zellweggar one I get allthetime. And I don’t understand it AT ALL.
Last year at the MOPS convention, I met Christy Nockels and her husband after she sang one night. Instantly her face lit up and she said “Oh my gosh! You look EXACTLY like my sister in law!” Then she motioned for her husband and said “doesn’t she look EXACTLY like your sister?!” and then HE got all excited and said “OH MY GOSH! YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MY SISTER!” and they were both totally amazed and kept repeating it throughout our conversation….which was not about the sister. haha! It was quite hilarious actually. I said “well I hope that’s a good thing!” and she said “oh yes, very good. She’s gorgeous.” haha! Then I was instantly embarrassed and wanted to run far far away. But instead we took pictures. haha!
WOW! That’s awesome, Brandy.
Christy Nockels “oh my gosh-ing” over you. wow….
I was “oh my gosh-ing!” over her! I’ve always been a huge fan and loved her voice and music from back when they were Watermark. I was in awe!

Some guy once told me I look like Meadow from the Sopranos. I’ve never watched the show to be able to confirm or deny this…
