body double

I always secretly and judgementally snicker to myself when anyone I know proclaims that they've been told that they resemble a celebrity. How sad, I think to myself. And then you feel like you're supposed to say: "Oh, yes, I can see that--you DO look like Angelina Jolie!" even when they look more like Dougie Howser. It's just sad. But lately, some of my homies think I could pass for a relative of MLP. And people I don't know (okay and Amber-the-poetess extraordinaire--she too thinks I look like "that chick on 'Weeds'." People I don't know come up to me and say: "Hey! You look like that chick on Weeds!" And for the longest time I was like, WTF? Whom are they talking about? Because I do not get Showtime--I am an HBO girl. And now that I know that they mean MLP, I say: "Maybe she looks like me, asshole." Not really, but I think it. Here's the goofy thing--I was looking at this photo you see here (which was jacked from an I heart MLP site) with a friend of mine the other day when my spouse cruised through the room, glanced at the monitor and asked as he sailed by: "Who Photoshopped your head onto that body?" He can kiss my ass.

Dear MLP, we do look creepily similar in some areas. Between the nose and eyebrows. And I do so love how you say: "Idgie Threadgood, let's wrestle in some raspberry Jell-o and then fry us up some tomatoes once we're done dismembering and bar-b-q-ing my drunken oaf of a husband!" Yum!
