Who Do You Look Like???
 

This morning, the doorman of my building told me that I look like the lady that plays the principal on the Steve Harvey Show. While I think she's a cute woman, I don't see the slightest bit of resemblance. So, that leads me to the following questions:

1. Have you been told repeatedly that you look like someone that you actually agree with?
2. Have you been told you look like someone and you were actually kind of offended?

My answers...
1. I'm ALWAYS told that I look like the woman that played Nina Moreno on NY Undercover (a black version, I guess). What's crazy is that I really do see the similarities.
2. Now, about 6 years ago, LOL, I was told that I look like Anne Marie Johnson (I think that's her name). The lady that played on In Living Color and In the Heat of the Night. I was so hurt! We look NOTHING alike and she really annoys me. Clearly, that one struck a nerve with me.

Before I get called out, I do remember a thread similar to this in another forum and I SEARCHED, but couldn't find it.

The only person that comes to my mind is Elise Neal.

Also Ann Marie Johnson is not unattractive, she just needs a bottle of WEIGHT ON because she is a bit too thin I think. She can also be seen on the tv series that is featured on Tuesday nights on CBS called JAG!

I have been told since High School that I look like a younger, thinner Faith Evans. I have to agree that there is some resemblance, ok, a lot of resemblance but hey I dyed my hair red first!!

Well people used to tell me that I looked like Coko from SWV, but the only connection that I could see is that we both have long nails and long faces.

Second, everyone is the world thinks my best friend Shawna and I are twins. We don't think we look alike, but EVERYONE, including family members tell us that we look alike! At first it was okay but now it's just gone too far! Or well, at least she's not ugly then those would be fighting words! :mad:

Claire on the Cosby Show. Folks have told me that all through high school. I think it's just cause I have a HUGE smile.

Anne Marie Johnson used to also play on that show, Double Trouble with the twins! I used to LOVE that show!! "Lika my mama alway say..." anyway, this thread is not about her, lol.

I have been told that I resemble Nia Long. We look NOTHING alike. She is little and petite, I hardly fit that bill. I think it's the eyes, that's what a soror told me. This dude told me it's the personality. I was like, um, you don't know her... whatever. :rolleyes: Also, Regina King. We don't look anything alike, either. I think it's the characters they've played. Though I'm nothing like them, either, lol.

People started saying that I looked like a young Aretha Franklin when I took my senior pictures from high school. They always told my grandmother that because she had a HUGE picture in her living room. I see the resemblance in her YOUNGER days, but now...PLEASE DON'T TELL ME I LOOK LIKE RE-RE...(have you seen her lately?)

You can't help but to see her:(

People have told me that I look like Tia and or Tamera Mowery....yeah right!!

Me too!!!!

While I'm always looking like "somebody's cousin", the two folks I can recall that people say I have looked like are Dawnn Lewis (from A Different World) and Lisa Leslie, center for the LA Sparks.

I think people said Dawnn because we have similar smiles (wide) and maybe similar eyes.

I was in Puerto Vallarta a few years back and the Mexican guys at our hotel were saying "Lisa Leslie, Lisa Leslie, come here." What was doubly funny was that one of the guys we were with they said looked like Michael Jordan (darker skin, bald head) and my other friend was told he looked like: AC GREEN :eek:. Worst though, my girlfriend asked them "who do I look like?" There were blank stares all around! :D

Folks think I probably look like Lisa because I have long hair, and long legs, (although I'm pretty short) we're around the same skin complexion and our lips are kind of similar.

OMG me too!!! I've been told I look like their older sister. Every new job I go to someone ALWAYS says "hey...you look like the sister sister twins." I've been hearing that since the show started.

I've never been told that I look like a celebrity, but I'm always looking like "somebody's cousin" also. I just want to know, if I look like so many cousins, why haven't I seen any of them on the street? http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/...fragend008.gif

People are forever telling me I look like Alicia Keys. Just last month in a club a drunk guy followed me around calling me Alicia. :mad:

Personally, I see it VAGUELY but that's about it. I think it might be more the mannerisms and the voice...my voice IS very similar to her speaking voice (not singing, lol, I would be a rich mofo).

I have never been compared to someone that would offend me, lol.

I'm not Gina!
 

If I hear that I look like Tisha Campbell one more time... I might just have to put the smack down on someone! I think that it's only because we are about the same complexion and we both have wide smiles:D. But I don't have an "Apple head". I think she a beautiful women but there's no resemblance.
