“Celebrity” “Look-a-like”

I had to put both of these words in quotations because a) I'm not sure these people can be considered celebrities, and b) I'm not sure I actually look like them. I figured I would open it up to public opinion (and potential ridicule).

A little back story is in order. You know how some people always get compared to a certain celebrity? Like my friend Sonia looks like Marisa Tomei, I think M.K. looks like Charlize Theron, and poor Kate has gotten Bette Midler on more than one occasion.

Sidebar: Writing this just reminded me that when I worked at Fuel, whenever someone was hired we would try to figure out what celebrity would play them in "Fuel: The Movie". Usually this was based on looks, except in The Bean's case, who felt her essence could only be captured by Parker Posey.

Anyway, the one person I would get compared to was Enuka Okumu (pictured below). In fact, the last person to mention I looked like her was my hairdresser, who turned out to have done Enuka's hair on occasion as well. Note – this girl has definitely come into her looks over the years. In the days that I was being compared to her, we were both hot messes.

Recently, the Smith family (M.K. and her parents) have compared me to Tre Armstrong (also pictured below). While this thrilled me to no end (please, take me to her makeup artist immediately), I don't actually think I look like her. And apparently neither does S, who looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned it. And no, that look was not followed by "You're way prettier than her!"

So what do you think? I'm guessing that there are 5 people who read this blog. I expect to hear from all of you.

Sue Thomas FB Eye girl! Oh my God how I love that show!

I actually see a bit of you in both of them. I think your eyes and mouth are similar to Enuka's, but you're face shape is more that annoying bitch from SYTYCDC.

I don't think the photo of Tre is good for a comparison.

My parents and I stand by our comments.

I think you actually do look like Enuka!

P.S. I've been in SuperBlackGirl blog withdrawal! I tried going to other blogs but it was like replacing cocaine with methadone. There's just nothing like the real thing. ;)
