I tried to resist the celebrity doppelganger game on Facebook but I decided to join in on the fun. I am trying not to focus on the fact that I look like all of my celebrity doppelgangers before their hollywood diets and makeovers!

The self-deprecation involved in that cancels out any allegations of validation-fishing in my humble (or not so humble :P) opinion. Mostly, I think it is hilarious because I don't really have any look alikes except for my mom.
Still, for those of you who know me, here are the ones that I have been told I resemble that I actually think have some substance.
Exhibit A: A baby faced robin givens back during the days when she was dating Brad Pitt.
(Brad before Bradgelina and Givens after the tyrant that is Tyson. Maybe, they should have just stayed together.)
Exhibit B: A pubescent Thandie Newton back in her Flirting days.

The jury is still out on another comparison I have received from a few art students at NYU who told me I looked like the amazing artist Wangechi Mutu. I can see it-- but again--I look more like a chubby cheeked baby version.

The hilarity of it all is that I have been compared to three people who actually look very different but also posess some close similarities. The doppelganger game just goes to show that we're all connected somehow through DNA and our original African ancestors. We are all born from the same symmetry and the bond of humanity. We are all sisters.
