Doppleganger

Isn't that the word that means you have a twin somewhere in the world? Must be a German word. Two months ago, I started a post with that title and first line. Now it's Doppleganger week on Facebook. I just want the record to show that I am a woman who is SO ahead of the times. As evidenced by the picture below...
Trust me, nappy velour pants and mismatched socks are going to be all over the runways in Milan next season.

I have been a little sad about Doppleganger week on FB because I don't really have a famous Doppleganger. Everyone else in my family does. Take my husband, he's got Sonny Bono. MINUS a little hair and the mustache. PLUS being a much better looking man. Much...
Tate...
has been told quite a bit lately that he looks like Justin Bieber, the latest teen singing sensation...
I think he likes it. How do I know? He's been waking up early to do his hair these days.

Emma's Doppleganger?
It's me, 30 years ago...
Poor, independent girl gets tired of "You look so much like your mom" everywhere she goes. I am a little younger than her in the above picture, so here is a pic of Emmie at that age...
I clearly do not count as a famous doppleganger. And since I am her biological mother, I guess the resemblance should not be surprising. But, it's my blog. I get to make the rules.

Jack has two different looks. The shaggy (and shirtless) Jack...
His Doppleganger is Mowgli from The Jungle Book.

The spikey Jack...
With those teeth slightly resembling fangs, just imagine him with pale skin and red eyes and you'll know his doppleganger is a young Edward. We expect to be contacted when they are making the "Twilight" prequel.

And Lulu? Have you seen her doppleganger on the size 3 Pampers box?
Lucky for the Pampers baby that she gets to resemble Her Loveliness!

But we're back to me (it always comes back to me, ya know). In the past, people told me I looked like Winnie from The Wonder Years. But then Winnie grew up and now looks like this. I do not.

And I have one friend (Jenna) who insists I look like the iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove. I know, I'm slightly older than she is. Keep in mind, Jenna and I are high school friends, so I will forever look like this to her...
A couple of years ago, I got a lot of comments about looking like Sarah Palin. But a couple of years ago, every long haired brunette with glasses looked like Sarah Palin. Especially Tina Fey.

Saving the best for last, I have had two different people say that I remind them of Katherine Heigl. I like this one. Very much. Except it's not that I look like her, it's more about mannerisms. Dang. Still, you have to see some kind of resemblance when you compare this picture...
With this one.

Oh well. I guess I'm a Doppleganger-less girl, which makes me kind of sad. I guess I think having a beautiful and famous Doppleganger would validate my beauty. Why do I think I need that? I am me. Just me. And when I stop and think about it, I am just fine with that.
