Roll Out the Red Carpet

From time to time I've been told that I look like different people. I suppose I have one of those familiar or generic(?) faces. Often the guests I serve say "hey, are you (fill in the blank)" or "didn't you go to (such and such a) highschool" even "you look so familiar"(and I'll be honest...the last one scares me a whole lot). So...when I was between the ages of 8 and 12 I was told that I look like Drew Barrymore. In my teen years that sentiment changed to Michelle Pfeiffer. Once I hit University I got Patricia Arquette and Ingrid Bergman. Later, a lady I worked with said I reminded her of Isabella Rossellini. I'm not so sure about that one. But even more off base would have to be her and the person who told me I looked like her was definately high.

There are a few things that spurred this post. It started way back with the question I asked earl and his answer, with which we also discovered that slyde looks like chachi. I have kept the game in the back of my mind.

But it is this hot chick who really inspired me. Or should I say the blogger that she reminds me of. Check out the lips.

I get asked if I'm in a band all the time. A few years ago on the subway, a girl who was about thirteen asked me if i was in Green Day. I'm not sure which guy she though I was because they are all about five feet tall. I told her I was Regis Philbin and she laughed and went back to her friends. I have been told that my laugh sounds EXACTLY like Dr. Hibbert from the Simpsons, and a co-worker sometimes calls me Wattie Buchan.

There's nothing wrong with looking like Lucille Ball.

You know, because one day before puberty hits your'e just laughing at her...thinking she's funny and the next day she's stomping grapes in Italy and your'e thinking "Go Lucy".

(Thanks to Dennis Miller for that rant)

Wow..."your'e"? What was I typing?

Now, I'm just making up word forms.

Aww! Flatterer.

I forget who that chick is, but didn't she play a hot lesbian on 90210 or something? Anyway, she sure is purdy, though I'm not sure how much I resemble her.

Anyway, you rock the house, yo.

I don't look like anyone and I suppose that's ok. By the list of who people have compared you to, your good to go! Hubba hubba.

Kat said...

fish- so you never get CIA? hmf. Definately see the rocker in ya.

earl- Ya, Lucille ain't too shabby. I just dont' think I look much like her...but the comment was also in the context of a theatre class...I went to Ryerson in Toronto for theatre. And it got me here. On a blog. Talking about the star I coulda shoulda woulda been. Wow. That's depressing.

tits- see...to me the nose and mouth are dead ringers. I thought it right away. You were right on the 90210. Her name is Kathleen Robertson and she grew up in the same town as me (although I never knew her). She played in Scary Movie 2, Dog Park and Speaking of Sex.

steve- hardly ugly my dear ;o)

dusio- Thanks! :o)

Kat said...

earl- dont'- it's contagious!

elizabeth said...

Okay - now tell me who I look like. I'm dyin to know.

elizabeth said...

PS - You DO look like Michelle Pfieffer. You could be her sister.

Cornelius T. Fish said...

Not CIA.....They have more expensive shades.
Not Rocker......They are just angry hippies with TransAms
Punk....maybe....

Kat said...

Liz- Have I told you lately how much I love you?
As for you fine self...I have 3 choices. Julia Roberts, Gillian Anderson and Jessica Rabbit.

fish- what? you don't like to lay rubber in the parking lot with your K car?

Cornelius T. Fish said...

Oh yeah!!! And then I put on my cut off jean shorts and a do-rag and hang out in front of the 7-11 smoking hash and growing a little mustache.

Its all in the context. At least all of the comparisons are hot.


Younger folk tell me I look like Scott Ian from Anthrax (thanks VH1), my peers tell me I look like Perry Ferrel (sp), which is much better than what I heard in the early 90's Gilligan

You must be some sexy thang!

Kat said...

fish- ...with the emphasis on little...or rather, sparse. And you must smoke players filter and drink 50.

marrrrk- I can see Scott for sure...but Gilligan? I think those people were doing drugs with the guy who told me I look like Cher.

madge- thanks baby!

Ouch! Now that my "chachi-ness" is out of the bag, i'm feeling alittle naked and exposed.

Plus, ive never really decided if i was more "chachi" or more "charles in charge" or more "zapped"

Kat said...

slyde- Definately chachi.

Lola's Girl said...

Everyone tells me that I look like Marg Helgenberger from CSI. It drives me nuts! Wish I looked like some hot chick, not some old one....

elizabeth said...

Jessica Rabbit?! (How much do I owe you?)
