Back in 95, I was told by one of my kids in Upward Bound that I looked the mother in Lean On Me -- you know the one who says, "I can't take care of her no mo."

I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HER!!

Ok you are cracking me up with the 'Apple Head' statement!

I've always been told that I look like Queen Latifah. This guy actually told me that this weekend. They used to call me Kadeejah back in school.

I remember I was walking down the street one time and this guy walked passed me and starting singing 'UNITY'.

Then when I would wear my hair braided back they would call me Cleo...oh hayle naw!

But it's cool though...I got love for the Queen!

People tell me I favor Nia Long and Malinda Williams. A lot of friends and family call me Nia or Byrd.

No celebrities, but I get the somebody's cousin thing a lot.

My cousin's ex used to tell me all the time I looked like the girl down the street except I didn't have the lazy eye. I was like, huh?

A lot of people in high school used to say me and this other girl looked just alike. I didn't see the resemblance until graduation when we took a picture together (we were pretty good friends) When I saw the pic of us in our caps and gowns, I was amazed to see that we did favor each other.

I guess my boyfriend and I have been together for so long that people say we look alike.

No celebrities for me.
The other day, however, our neighbor's houseguest came up to me and started saying "hi baby, hi baby."
I was

because frankly, I don't get approached like that in my neck of the woods.
He apologized -- he mistook me for his wife, who has a similar colored car.

I don't think I look like anyone famous. NoworNever has her own sexy unique look

OK, I was a senior in high school and this guy that I worked with told me that he had seen a movie over the weekend and that it was a lady in it that looked JUST LIKE ME....

He was so SURE about this "twin sighting" that he offered to take me to the movie so I could see her for myself....

The movie was Spike Lee's JUNGLE FEVER...so I'm watching the movie and I'm like where is she at? Then came Gator's (Samuel Jackson) Crack-Head Girlfriend VIV (Halle Berry) stumbling down the block and this guy was like THATS HER!! SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU!!(if she was cleaned up)

Needless to say I was a bit taken aback at the tought of being mistaken for a crack-head! ....However, when the CLEAN Halle returned in Boomerang....it was on! Everyone was calling me Halle B. and I was like: HAAAAYYYY! My popularity rose 10 fold!

So here I am 10 years later married to a guy that is OBSESSED with Halle Berry....COINCIDENCE??

So, yes people still tell me that I resemble Ms. Berry and I consider it the upmost compliment.

PS. Everyone is calling my Hubby "VIN DISSEL (sp?)" these days.....He's happy because they used to call him KID from KID N' PLAY!

I can't really think of anyone famous that I look like but its weird because I have this painting of a gypsi that everyone swears looks like me. People thought that I had myself painted in costume but my mom picked it up from a dollar store or something. But the resemblence is kinda scarey...

jojapeach · #25 12-06-2002, 05:05 AM

At least once a week, I hear, "Ooh, you look like Jill Scott! I love Jill, so it's definitely a compliment. There is a similarity in the face and smile, and when the afro is out, I hear it all day long.

I get that same syndrome of looking like somebody. "Do you know so-and-so? Y'all could be twins." I actually had to enlighten some HS children and let them know that all big girls really don't look alike.

And why is it that you always could be so-and-so's sister/cousin/etc, but you NEVER see that person yourself?

smurfette1908 · #26 12-06-2002, 12:58 PM

I get the same remarks when I sport my afro. "Dang there go lil Jill Scott right there!" I am like okay so we are both thickins, we both have natural hair and we are the same complexion. I guess this is all someone needs to make a comparison though. Oh and because I attend the poetry cafe EVERY thursday night to break them off with a little something something....
We don't look alike to me though Jill Scott IS beautiful! I just think that people automatically think that if you cute, thick, and got a fro, you must be Jill....whatever....

People tell me that I look like Laura Winslow. That makes me so made because my newphews and nieces seem to think I ask like her!

ClassyLady · #28 12-06-2002, 02:40 PM

People tell me that I look like Nia Long all of the time. I don't like it because I don't see the resemblance. She is a very pretty girl but I really don't see what other people see. Actually, last month, when I was in Atlanta, some guy thought that it would be a great way to try to talk to me by hollering "Hey, Nia Long, Nia Long. Yeah, you. You look like Nia Long, let me talk to you." With such a suave approach, it was so hard for me to say no.

Afrochic · #29 12-06-2002, 05:21 PM

It sure is a lot of Nia Long look alikes roaming the streets.

Where are the folks that get mistaken for Whoopi, Jimmie Walker, Shabba Ranks, Bobby Brown, where are those look alikes?

Bamboozled · #30 12-06-2002, 06:01 PM

LMAO @ you, Afrochic. That is so funny that you brought that up. The other night, I was hanging out with one of my boys and his friend and his friend's little brother. Well, the little brother was pretty quiet and reserved and seemingly lacking self esteem. So, we stop to get some pizza and as if this was his first time really looking at him, my boy said loud as all get out, "Damn Bamboozled, doesn't he (the little brother) look JUST LIKE JJ?" I mean, he said it right in front of his face!

And he was looking at me expectantly like I was going to say, "Yeah, he does look just like JJ." And he just wouldn't let it go. He was even asking strangers walking by. I really wanted to laugh because he does look like JJ, but I know that poor boy went home and cried.
