so now i have a question (which, honestly, is really quite a stupid thing that usually just annoys me a lot)... who do people say you look like? does it happen almost never? or, like, every day? how far off are they? sem's wayd reminded me how people are always telling me that i look like so-and-so or remind them of someone. (and i don't just mean celebrities or whatever, often it's just a 'friend of theirs') i guess i'm just wondering if this happens to everyone- that maybe people just enjoy relating things- or am i a generic freak that somehow turns out looking like a lot of people?

There was this man in McDonalds in Seattle who told me I look like Brooke Shields. "Yeah, my mom says that too. But I don't really think so."

I look like a poor man's Peter Jennings is what I've been told. Poor me. I'll have to work on saying "aboat" for "about", and saying "leftenant" for "lieutenant"

I am, apparently, the love child of the unholy tripart union of Bjork, Paula Cole, and Lucy Lawless. Except, not at all.

i have been told i look like david grohl, especially when i had long, shoulder length hair, at least when he had long shoulder length hair in Nirvana. We both seem to have long gaunt faces with big honkers....someone else told me i looked like Matthew Broderick...that individual's dentist was soon in a higher tax bracket

No one has ever told me I look like anyone else. Once, someone told me my smile looks like the smile of the blonde actress who was in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" (Nancy Something). But I don't look anything like her, so don't believe that.

Do you have brown eyes Patrick?

green

i've been told dave matthews, billy corgan. others. i forget. always rockstars. it ain't true though. i actually look like the bastard love child of corky of "life goes on" and a yeti.

a friend of mine told me i looked like trent reznor..but i'm a girl for crying out loud..so what the hell does that mean? maybe it's the big nose and plain face, combo..

so..anyway..she withdrew the comment..later.. so..all is well in the world no need to worry.. don't panic

My best friend in high school, his dad always refered to that show "Life Goes On" as "Take what you've got and Like it." Well, not always. Just once. But since then both my high school best friend and I never refer to that show by any other name. I am still slightly light-headed, after inhaling fumes from a poorly sealed bottle of secret recipe, ca.70 years old, "guaranteed by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 ...not to contain more than four percent Chloroform" patent medicine. There are perks to this job after all, J!

when my head was shaved, it was fucking sinead o'connor. when i was in high school, it was molly ringwald. those are the only two i can think of.

Nancy Travis. She has a distinct smile.

Meatloaf; before it was Jonathan Winters with bad makeup. The guy at the Chinese Buffet up the street says I look like the Web Guy, but I keep assuring him he's mistaken. Thankfully, the Post didn't put my goddam picture next to the Website Icon in the sidebar. Thankfully, the Chinese Buffet guy doesn't undertand. I tell him I look like meatloaf. He says, "we dunno serve meatloaf here--all cinese" but thankfully he has always served me, but keeps asking, "Runt you Web Guy?"

markus- you look like nancy travis ?

somebody once told me i looked like wayne from wayne's world. it was a hungover saturday morning and i was wearing one of them "wild one" biker's caps. some guy walked up to me at a party once and told me i looked like oliver stone. a girlfriend in highschool liked to tell me i looked like the penguin from bloom county.

A) Droopy, you look like Opus?! I would like to see a picture of that. B) Who's Web Guy? C) I'm the Nancy Travis look-alike. Except I'm not. I don't look anything like her. People tell me I look "unusual." I guess that's better than "ugly." Or maybe not. *sigh*

I don't look like anyone either. When I was in public school bunch of people tried to find someone famous that I might look like, and they came up empty. My friend Jerry tells me I laugh just like his ex-girlfriend, which annoys me a lot.

i look a lot like that guy with the head and the clothes. i have hair in places.

unusual is good, rhiannon. looking like a squat cartoon penguin with a big nose is not.

with my broken mandarin orange egg foo yonder chinese, it's a wonder the Buffet guy can take my order. (but hey, it's a buffet!) He thinks I look like a guy who does webwork for (I think) reflection here in st louis. they have an office in portland too. i never met the guy he thinks i am. i actually think i look like my dad, especially the older i get. but dad's dead 20 years, so i probably don't look anything like him anymore. the chinese guy never met my dad either.

she didn't strike him as a violent person, but she did strike him. I get that "striking" word a lot. it's a consolation prize. john updike explains it in a really good story I don't enjoy reading. "...and a tall one, with black hair that hadn't quite frizzed right, and one of these sunburns right across under the eyes, and a chin that was too long -- you know, the kind of girl other girls think is very 'striking' and 'attractive' but never quite makes it, as they very well know, which is why they like her so much..." from the latest addition to my inbox: "i thought you were the coolest, most formidable girl i had ever met. and that you were tall and strikingly beautiful and kind of hot. and then i thought you were really hot." look up "striking" in the dictionary. it isn't pretty.

The greek word deinon means terrible and awesome. I always use it for women who are scary beautiful. You should put together a band of women who are all scary beautiful and all crazy tall and play and never smile. I'd offer my services, but at 5'11" and not scary beautiful I wouldn't be an asset (though I do know how to not smile while gigging).

Lots of people tell me I look like Lucy Lawless too,that,s why I dyed my hair red,she,s about 3 inches taller and bigger boned though.I have the shouders though 41 inches,bigger than some mens,kind of wierd with 34 inch hips,a swimmers body except my hands are too small.

I've been told I look like Lee Majors....if so, can I have a choice between Farrah and the $6M?

Have you seen Farrah lately ML?Better take the $6M,and then lookk me up:)

Have you seen Farrah lately ML?Better take the $6M,and then look me up:)

Money in my jeans and looking :0)

so.......basically....all the chicas around here are hotties............cool

In high school, I was told by almost everyone that I looked like "that chick from lucious jackson" like in the video for naked eye where she had a bob haircut with blond streaks in the front--i had the same haircut and streaks. Was also once called Aeon Flux because of the same haircut.

i would not refer to myself as a "hottie." hardly.

oh

the front page of sorabji just said to me: "you look just like my sister" so, see what i mean? but really, people have told me that i remind them of the 'basket case' girl from 'the breakfast club'. i don't look anything like her so it must be the gestures and behavior. (and, unfortunately, i can see that) another favorite: 'blair' from 'the facts of life' the most popular one i can't tell you because i don't believe it and in the chance that i ever met any of you, you would laugh at me. well, you might laugh at me anyway but.... maybe i'll post a picture and let you guess (although that's asking for beating)

i mean ally sheedy. but i'd rather look like her than blair

do it. if you look anything like blair from the facts of life, i'll be doing a beating. if you know what i mean. listen: wristjockey

you sound like the lead singer of the church

yo, kid. wtf?!?

oh shit. i just got an earful of grief from finance for "blasting that god-awful disturbance!" see what you've done?

When i had the 80's spiral perm thing happening and my round glasses and the skinny, mum said i looked like Andrea from Bev Hills 90210. Yeah thats a little embarassing. On a brighter note, I lost 1 kilo this first week on weight watchers so I am happy. My mum looks like Edina Monsoon from Ab Fab. She acts like her too.

People always say I remind them of Janeane Garafolo and it's probably not far from wrong. An ex said I looked like Sandra Bullock but he was an ass. I'm not that white bread. An old girfriend said I was like Ricki Lake in Hairspray but not as fat. Put it all together and what does it spell? Beef - it's what's for dinner (lady!).

I used to love Ally Sheedy. Whatever happened to her? Seriously. (leaves door open for usual drole responses such as: "she got put through a woodchipper by a psycho drifter a couple of years ago; she changed her name to Fatima Mustafa and works at a Jack in the Box in Fresno now; she's following around Phish and having Pee Wee Herman's love child etc. etc. etc.)

her latest film got great reviews. It was called High Art, she was a lesbian filmaker/artist and fell in love with one of her models or somethign like that. whats wrong with you man? You loosing your mind?

I don't get out much.

And yes, the way I've been feeling lately, I do believe I am losing my mind. But that's neither here nor there.

No one's ever said I resemble anyone. Good thing?

Ally Sheedy has a poetry book which is awful. My friend bought an enormous amount for a dollar and gave them as xmas gifts a few years a back. No, that's for real!

Ally Sheedy can write all the bad poetry she wants, as long as she sits on my face while reciting it.

People have alternately told me that I look like John Lennon and Jesus Christ. I think I have Lennon's nose and glasses, and christ's... uhh... uuhhh...

dark skin?

Stigmata?

Sainted mother?

giant holy schlong?

I have Lenin's nose and glasses, and I'm not giving them back.

I have all his money and still trying to make more off him.

your weiner of a son Sean has no talent.....you should stop being such a cunt to Julien and give him is fare share.

like the evil bitch would,I read where Julian had to buy letters his dad had sent him.Like Judy Tenuta said,if the bullet would have went a few inches the other way and Mark David Chapin would have been a hero.Anyone get a Julian Lennon ticket in the mail art?

Someone said that I looked 24 today. "Woohoo!" Speaking of mail art, I'm almost there. What was the address for the delphi place? I lost Agatha's addy.

But wait, didn't Markus mean Vladimir Ilich Lenin?

I had the stigmata once. It was cool.

Broccoli.

you resemble your family, the Cabbageheads, perhaps. a noble line. but please stay out of the potato salad.

Owa Tanas siam

I kept trying to convince people that my brother looks like a young Anthony Edwards with hair. Apparently I am the only one who sees the resemblance. I would rather resemble Burning Spear than Richard Dreyfus, by the way. at least in music in coiffure and music, although he's a lot handsomer than I could ever be. (this is a plug to go and buy "Calling Rastafari" recent Grammy winner for best reggae)

people tell me who i look like all the damn time. I agree: Lisa Loeb "...but like....evil" Sally from Nightmare Before X-Mas Biff Naked (even though I can't stand her) I disagree: Betty Boop Cher Chritina Ricci (don't I wish!) Alanis (die!!!!!) Fun mental pictures .

funny, i never really pictured any of those women and cartoon women as looking anything like each other.

Betty Boop and Christina Ricci both have big foreheads.

I didn't know Wisper was a girl. Now that's an even FUNNER mental picture.

more fun.

foreheads. right.

the Betty Boop thing, I never understood that. I thought the first time it was just to piss me off, until I heard it again later in life. damnit.

Betty Boop is cute.

i look like russian president,vladimir putin----but i wish i look like jim morrison [the doors]or anyone else with a granite jaw and sex appeal.

I am often told that I look like the younger sister on Roseanne. What was her name? Sarah Gilbert? EEwwww. That has always bugged the shit out of me.

eri,who do you want to look like,i am most interested.

eri,i put sarah gilbert on search,and what do i get,[free sex,the straight way to pleasure],you must distance your self from this porny stuff, it keeps popping up on screen,i am trying to get rid of it right now.

jesus,this sarah gilbert site has bigger hooks than freddy kruger,IT WILL NOT LET GO.

now i have [porn for a buck]from that sarah gilbert site,i may have to shut down all systems for a while.

not again,the screen goes purple,then yet more porny stuff comes up.i am now sick of this.sorabji alert,keep out of the sarah gilbert site.

phew,problem sorted,shut down,start up,connection broken.mark a. thomas probably knows all this,but then again,he is god,or bill gates,or both.love,vilnius viper.

eri who do you want to look like,i am most interested.

I always thought it would be cool to resemble Sandra Bullock for some reason, but she is starting to show her age now, so I dunno. I was named after that red haired, and freckle faced little girl on the Waltons, but I don't think I look like her. I just want to look pretty, and sexy at once, without picking myself apart, but my age is catching up with me too now.

eri,for me, you will allways be a young sandra bullock,you will stay that way,in my mind,forever.

Why thank you. Now if only I made that kind of money, I would be a truly happy woman.....look like Sandra Bullock, make bank, good hubby, no more kids....hell yeah! Oh wait, I'm dreaming again.

bha!

im still sweating from that sarah gilbert encounter.

I finally thought of one. Somebody told me recently that I don't look like anyone, but I act like Joan Cusack.

lapis,you are a very sweet girl,i love your strange pics,i love you for what you are,you are star dust,you are golden.and yes, you do act like joan cusack.lots of love.

I love Joan Cusack's quirkiness.....I can see the resemblance.

i see semilama as julia roberts,am i right or wrong,or nuts???????? or in love?????????

OMG.....Sem as Julia Roberts.....Heh....ROFLMAO!!!!!! OK, well, first, sem would have to have a sex change operation. grow his hair all long and die it red, ummmmmmm I think plastic surgery might be necessary....... I thought he reminded me of the sexy side of Tim Curry. Well, with better hair.

I've been told countless times I look like Robert Downy Jr. Without all the betty ford clinic.

OMG,this reminds me of the time i made a grab for the ass of what i thought was a girl,in a bar,but it had a beard like zz top.URK.

I'm going to wait until i'm older to have a beard like ZZ Top. I think old men with long beards look cool.

Facial hair sounds like so much fun. So many possibilities. I don't look like anyone famous, but I've been told I have Nancy Travis' smile. (Even though I look nothing like Nancy Travis.) I'd like to look like Nigella Lawson -- that woman is beyond gorgeous.

Jeez, I didn't read the whole thread -- I mentioned Nancy Travis way up there.

I've been told that I look like Martha Plimpton from the Goonies. This was in college when I had shorter hair and wore large wire framed glasses. I've been told, not that I look like her, but that I have a Sandra Bernhardt like personality.

I have drastically changed my hair color this week, with eyebrows to match and it really changes some things about my appearance. I mean, my eyes totally look a different color. Everything seems lighter and not so dark. My eyes are greener, my tan stands out more, but I don't have this whole dark thing going on like I did before. Not looking like Snow White anymore. So now I guess I am starting all over to see who I resemble. I did have someone tell me that I looked like a young Stockard Channing (cool) and then someone who calls me Joanne Worley (from her Laugh In days). So we will see. I guess I don't really look like anyone in particular, just me. Here's hoping that's a good thing!

facial hair is a pain in the ass spider, but that may have a lot to do with the fact that i loose the patience when i try and grow anything of substance on my patchwork facial hair plain. it takes me weeks to get anything that even resembles anything slightly beyond a 5 o clock shadow. otherwise its just itchy and scratchy and pisses the mrs.

Yeah, I guess it would depend on how thick and fast your beard grows. I was going to dye my hair a nice dark espresso brown this weekend, but remembering the aggravation I went through to get rid of the black I dyed it last time (like, it's been two years since I dyed it and I still have black ends), I think I'll scrap that plan. Or maybe not. I'll think about it some more. My natural hair color is basically a dark mouse brown. It's not nice. I've also got tons of grey hair.

Can I add that if I were a man or a lesbian, Nigella Lawson would be the first person on my to-do list? God, she's hot.

You've got grey hair? AWESOME! I am jealous; I want some of those. My hair is basically a medium mouse brown, you can't get much more boring than that, but I still have some color in it from previous dyes and they tend to blend in so there aren't any drastic roots. Ever since I got my hair professionally dyed, I haven't been able to go back. I like to get it a super-dark brown (almost black) with purplish-red highlights. In the bright sun, the red looks like it's glowing. I want to get some streaks next time too. Why don't you just trim the black off? My hair is now the length I wanted it to be when I got it cut back in March. It's grown almost three inches, maybe 2.5

I'm trying to grow my hair really long, and I'd have to cut it to shoulder length to get rid of the black. :( Don't get too excited about grey hairs -- mine aren't coming in as a thick streak, like I'd hoped....they're sprinkled all over the place and concentrated on the right side of my head. Now, if yours come in in a streak, that's something to celebrate. When I was a kid, one of my good friends' cousin hit his head on the side of the pool when he was 10, and after that, he had a shock of white hair growing out of the scar on the top of his scalp. It looked awesome, especially since it was natural and on such a young boy. That's what I want.

Maybe you should have it dyed the very dark almost black brown I was talking about...or the espresso brown...I think you will be much more satisfied. Dyed black hair, from what I have been told, comes with a particular form of annoyance that isn't the same with other colors. Anyway, Spider, send me your e-mail address.

Yeah, I'd *love* so-dark-brown-it's-nearly-black hair. My brother has naturally black hair and it's beautiful (er, it was until I gave him a bad haircut last week). Hmmm...you may have talked me into it. Here's my email address...

spider why are you producing gray hairs? gosh darn it girl you're too young for such stress. mousey brown is a GOOD color ladies. besides i like quoting Bowie when i say "the girl with the mousey hair.." Mousey is a good adjective.

Genetics have a lot to do with it. I got my first grey hairs in high school. My brother's almost 23, and he's got a few grey hairs (not as much as I had at his age, though). Funny, I was just talking about my grey hair with my mom this weekend, and I said, "I'm too young to have so many -- I'm only 22!" and then I remembered how old I am.

I got the grey hair thing going on too. And I have a bunch at the hairline on the left top and then it scatters all over. It's a royal pain in the butt to deal with. My hair is naturally that "so dark it's almost black". I have died it black, brown, even gone blonde once (never do that again). If you are going to dye your hair a dark brown, don't go darker than a level 4 or you will have the same nightmares all over again, like with the black. I decided to go back to red. It has been a long time since I went red, so I went RED. I love it, just wish it was a little lighter. One of these days soon I will look like a natural red head again. If you like the color of your hair, but not the "mousey" part, then try a color the same darkness that has a color base that is more of a red or cold tone, not green or purple color base. Those two create mousey hair colors. Most beauty supply stores carry color wheels you can compare at. When you look at the color wheel, choose a base color that is opposite on the wheel to green or purple. That will give you some vibrancy to the color without and dramatic change. Enough hair advice. I don't follow half of it myself. But for the record....I started going grey at 19, and I blame it all on my ex husband!!!! Though my best friend is almost 40% grey now and she is only one day older than me.

hal,i am amazed that you look like robert downy jr.for me you are 100 percent TINA TURNER.

PERSONALTY,i allmost forgot,is SGT.BILKO,thats me.BUT, im still stuck with this vladimir putin face.[the only good thing is i get treated like a v.i.p. in moscow.

Nigella Lawson is wicked hot, like some sort of goddess, indeed. And her food is amazing too. I don't know which i want more. Housemate Daev and i spend many late nights staring at her on tv. I taped a pic of her to his door for x-mas, he was very happy. Rowlf doesn't get it so we tell him to get the hell out! i miss Daev. And our Nigella.

i dont know about 'wicked hot' but she certainly has big, nice boobs

hm do i sound like a stupid-er-ass now that many of you know what i look like? i really was sick this week. my god. trying to get a place to take you without insurance truly sucks.

heather,yes,it truly sucks,but you allways have the sorabjis to back you up.,and you are no stupid ass.love.

When I had long hair, people said I both looked and sounded like Tom Petty. But I've probably mentioned that before. With short hair, I dunno. I look kinda like that guy in the mirror, only much sexier. My hair is not good right now. It needs cut. Since my little batch of job interviews is probably over for a while, I should go back to green. I really think I look a lot better with green hair.

TBone,i wish i had the guts to go green,its so dam funky.

hal,i was only messing about when i say you look like TINA TURNER, you are of course,JERRY SPRINGER.

Uh huh.... I have green hair TBone. It works for me, the color I originally used was a blue, but it just won't freakin stay blue it ends up this blue/green color. Vilnius... Jerry has curly hair, Tina had poofy hair. I have very flat do nothing hair.

hal,so we both have the same problem VLADIMIR PUTIN HAIR

Hal sounds hot. Before I had kids, I looked like Gabriella from Xena (before she cut her hair). That was also before I died my hair. Now I don't know who I look like. I'm trying to undergo another major transformation... I'm thinking about dying my hair again and getting a spiral perm.

Yo Pam,what's up?

i don't remember now that incident up there with the 70 year old chloroform - must have been potent enough to destroy some short term memory.

Hey J... not much... just slowly losing the little bit of sanity that I have left. It took me over a week just to get up one of my auctions on eBay, and it is really pissing me off. Plus we're having problems with our ISP (DirecWay is a crock, so NOT worth the money!). I don't know, I just feel like I never have time to do anything anymore. I know I've got two small kids, but shouldn't I still have some form of a personal life? Then I feel guilty for thinking this because I must not be a very good mom; you know, the kind who selflessly gives up her entire existence so that she can give her children a glorious childhood. And I'm sure that living on a mountain hours away from civilization is not helping. Yeah, and I'm kind of upset that I never kept in touch with my friends and all that. There's just so much that's bugging me right now. but how are you J? I missed you, had to come back so you could cheer me up :0)

hal,WHAT,TINA HAS POOFY HAIR? HOW CAN YOU INSULT THE MOST SEXY LADY IN THE WORLD?she can have my babushkas any time,[and lots of them.]or if she wanted a more platonic relationship,she can be my private dancer,anytime.

http://www.lostangel.net/webcam/dwarfvader.jpg Ok, there is a picture of me, its just short of a year old, around the time I first dyed my hair blue/green whatever. Hair is a bit shorter now, but still that color.

Yeah, Hal is pretty hot.

except for a year at the end of high school, I have had a shaved head since grade 7. and with my Tats. and my size a lot of people assume that Im a 'skinhead' <in quotes to imply all the racist bull that that name usually brings to mind>, which doesnt really bother me... people can think whatever they want... BUT when some dumb neo-nazi fuck starts talking to me like i belong to his/her stupid club (or whatever you call it) i tend to get a little pissed off. BTW, Tinas hair is described as 'poofy' at BEST! i'll never know/ understand what she was thinking.

BIGKev,then forget the hair,WHAT ABOUT THEM LEGS?

I've always known BigKev was hot.

Hal looks like Harry Potter ; )

ah,BUT HARRY POTTER HAS A MAGIC BROOMSTICK.

is that what th kids are calling these days?

Maybe I'll just get rid of the hair altogether. I kinda liked it that way. 'sup, Hal?

nadda buddy

J? Where are you? I need you to help cheer me up! I can only look at Hal's picture so many times...

Here hon after you check this out hit home,that should keep you happy for awhile.http://www.lunacytoons.com/titties.html

i've been told i look like Leonardo DiCaprio, Chandler off Friends, and rarely: Adam Gilchrist

i love this thread life is weird, huh?
