You know who you remind me of?

We all occasionally get that question, sometimes it is that you remind someone of someone they know, sometimes and more often than not, it is that you look or remind someone of a celebrity. This can be good, bad or just confusing depending on how you feel about the celebrity that someone has now linked you to.

In the early 80’s I got Molly Ringwald a lot. I never understood this. I look nothing like her, nothing. I believe it was simply the way I dressed and that my hair was red. In later years as Molly went by the wayside in the public eye I didn’t get a single remark, know one told me I had a celebrity double. Although, based solely on my mouth (by that I mean what I say and how I say it) I did get a couple Jeanne Garafalos. I was good with this because I liked her, thought she was funny and at the time agreed with a fair amount of what she said.

Now, as in 2000 to the present I get two others. Sara Rue and Margaret Cho. do I think I look like either one of them? No, not really. Judge for yourself with the pictures below. Luckily for me, I like Margaret Cho a lot and Sara Rue doesn’t bother me, and I think she has cute outfits on her show (Less Than Perfect), although I don’t think many people see them because I don’t think anyone watches that show, how it is still on air I am not sure.

So I ask myself, why do people think this? Here is what I tell myself…

For Margaret…
A. Loud mouth and kind of bitchy
B. Similar face shape (it’s the Korean thing)
C. Husky (as in size not that we wear the jeans)
D. Our mothers

For Sara…
A. Similar face shape
B. Similar Hair cuts
C. Outfits (a lot of skirts and dresses with a vintage-esque thing going on and cardigans, lots of cardigans)
D. Husky (again, big girls)






















One weird note, you might be tempted to think that everyone who tells me I look like Margaret knows about the Korean thing, but, I’ve had people who don’t even know that I am half Korean tell me I look like Margaret, weird.
