Although I don't agree, people have told me I look like Lynn Whitfield....

resurrecting this convo because i have a funny story
 

i've been told I look like three people...
when i was young and extremely skinny people told me i looked like ann marie johnson--i was OFFENED!!! :mad:

my best friend thinks i look just like the girl from the Glenn Lewis videos--I can live w/ that. (i can see the resemblance):cool:

lastly...after the premiere of Beloved a lady came out of the theatre and caused a scene...you would have thought that she was oprah herself the was way she was looking at me shook, shocked, and wide eyed...she even introduced me as Beloved to all her friends and other strangers like that was my name...i think the actress's name is Thadie Newton--I don't see it...but again...I can live w/ that!!!
:cool:

Re: resurrecting this convo because i have a funny story
 

Why were you offended? Ann Marie Johnson is pretty in my opinion. She's in need of a few cheeseburgers, but pretty nonetheless.

I've been told that I look like "Niecy" from Moesha.
:confused: I don't think so.
When I see her, I dont see the smart, sexy, innovative young lady i'm often referred as.

but i'm am a source of comic relief....:eek:

Well, back in high school folx said I looked like James Bond III (Monroe from School Daze). He also starred and directed the Troma B-movie Def by Temptation.

About that same time another group of folx said I looked like Dwayne Wayne--I don't see the resemblence there.

A third group said I looked like Terrence Taylor (Col. Taylor's son on A Different World).

Nowadays I don't think I look like any celebrity or TV/movie charactor--I'll have to defer to Crimson Tide 4 to give her 2 cents on that since she has seen me in real life.

Way back in the day people used to say that I looked like Brandy whenever I had braids. I was offended by that one because I thought that her eyes were too far apart making her look like a hammer head shark. My eyes are not far apart at all. Then I had a boyfriend who always said that I looked like Holly Robinson Peete (Sp?) from Hanging With Mr. Cooper. I've also been told that I look like Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child (when she was wearing her hair in the short flip style).

...my twin sister, people are always getting us confused!....:o

Hey another! I get Lynn Whitfield all the time. I was at a dinner party once and "A Thin Line Between Love & Hate" was on tv. One frat kept looking at the screen and then back and me, then at the screen again. It was too funny because for the next half hour he called me Lynn Whitfield. Now whenever he sees me he calls me that. I have a friend who looks even more like her. People think we are sisters.

I used to get Janet Jackson when I had braids in highschool. That offended me, I don't find her attractive at all. Rather frightening in fact.

I often got Aaliyah from highschool all the way through college. Especailly when I wore my t-shirt with a picture of her. My family even thought I had a t-shirt made with a picture of myself on it! I agree with that one, but it makes me a little sad now.

No Soror you look like Lynn Withfield case closed LOL Sphinxpoet

Soror Showstopper...I have to agree w/ Sphinxpoet!!! you look just like lynn whitfield!!! that is the first thing i thought when you sent me your link a few years ago. blaqbutterfly81 was the screenname then...if you don't remember;)

I get that one alot too. Recently i was told that I reminded someone of a cross between Amerie and Amel Larrieux, I don't see that resemblance either. Personally, I think I just look like my momma :)

I have been told that I look like a "thicker" Gabrielle Union. When I was younger and chubbier, I was said to look like Mia X. I dont appreciate that statement now though!:mad:

CTFU CTFU CTFU

This is the most accurate description of the 3. :o

Two days ago, this grocery store bagger thought I looked like Lisa Bonet from the Cosby Show. Em'kay... She and I do have the same complexion and big eyes, but that's where the resemblance stops. My boneheaded ex-boyfriend thought I looked like Rose McGowan *the girl that was Marilyn Manson's girlfriend and was in the godawful movie 'Jawbreaker'. Gives me yet another reason that I'm glad I broke up with the ex. LOL

Re: I'm not Gina!
 

Okay okay, I admit, I look like tisha campbell, RIGHT DOWN TO THE APPLEHEAD lmao!!!(WHEN I SMILE) LMAO!!!!!

I've been told that from rags to riches all the way up until house party. I hate she even did that scene in house party one where she strips her clothes off, Ex's are such twirps ( in a deep voice: hey baby, do you think you can do that scene for me CAUSE TISHA IS FINE!!!!!!)UUUHHHGGGGG!!!!!
