We All Look Like Somebody/ Who Do You Look Like?










This also ties into my latest contest.

I have been compared to a lot of people and every one of them flatters me. Below is a list of people I have been told I look like or remind some people of.

Aaliyah
Amerie
Jackee'
Jane Kennedy
Vanity
Janet Jackson (the smile)
Ashanti


YOU BE THE JUDGES

Personally I've always thought I looked a little like Chili from TLC and Tatyana Ali.
Pretty good list huh? Those are some foxy ladies aren't they? A man once told me I looked like Regina King too. Now I love Regina and she's very attractive but I don't think we look anything a like. And no one else does either. But maybe he saw something in me that reminded me of her. Who knows? If you have any other suggestions for a look a like for me, please comment!
Anyway what celebrities do you feel you look like or anyone has told you that you look like?

I tag Ladylee, Rose, Kathi, Abeni, Shelley, Cinefille and Sabledawn and of course whoever else wants to participate!

Photos above are of me, Ashanti & Aaliyah

Honnneeeeyyyyyy, damn. I honestly don't look like anyone. I've never had anyone tell me I do, wait, do celebrity animals count? Farm animals, or any animals for that matter. LOL. I'll have to call around now and ask if anyone thinks I look like anyone else, only I'm kind of afraid of what I might hear back.

I was once told I look like Faye Dunaway. I guess that's flattering, but Faye Dunaway isn't one of favorite actresses. My sister get compared to Lauren Bacall all the time (plus my parents named her after Katharine Hepburn.) Yes, I'm a little jealous and it's so not fair.

A few people have told me that I resemble Tisha Campbell. It's probably my smile :D lol

I personally just think I look like me. But that's just my opinion.

Hi Stacie-

Lady in Satin--You look a lot like Eve to me and she is just as beautiful. But nope, I don't see any Nia Long because she has such small eyes but maybe you look like her in person. But girl Eve is very beautiful so that's a compliment too. At least that's my opinion of you. You also remind me of Pepa from Salt N Pepa too.

Kathi---Come on we all look like someone famous, LOL! You look kind of like Madonna to me, the way she looked during her late 80's and early 90's phase. You go, girl! You also look like the actress Lori Petty to me. You know her right? She's cute!

Sable-- You remind me of Billy Dee Williams or the weather man on Good Morning America, I forgot his name! The handsome black dude with the mustache. At least I think I got the right show, LOL! Wait you look like the guy who sang with the group Shalamar too, remember? What was his name Howard or Huey something? You know the main singer? Anyone know who I am talking about? LOL

Good LAWD, I was gonan do a post abotu this VERY subject Stacy!! (I still might bite and do it). But..... I (in my younger and slightly THINNER) days used to alllllllllllways be told by Zed (and countless others) that I looked JUST like Tracy Camilla Darling (aka Nola Darling from Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It". We had the same high top faded in the back style at the time too (mine was just permed and curled) LOL

As a matter of fact my boy from school (who coincidentally now lives DIRECTLY across the street from me) forgot how to call me Robyn and ALWAYS called me "Nola"! And acatually I think that she and I DO resmble quite a bit (i'll have to dig it out)

But I have gotten the Janet comment too (which shocked and delighted me! :), Jill Scott and Queen Latifah !

Fun post!

This was a fun post. I don't think I look like anyone. Although back in my college days, I was a big Whitney Houston fan (pre her crack-is-wack days) and I wore my hair like her in her Saving All My Luve 4 U video and even got a job offer to impersonate her at a karaoke club! For years, people at KU called me Whitney. I'm sure they didn't even know my real name! Hee. Oops, perhaps I've shared too much. Thanks for the memories!

LOL! Michelle you should be glad if you DON'T still look like Whitney. I don't mean to be rude but she is looking messed up these days due to her crack habit and marriage to Bobby. I didn't even recognize her when I recently saw her. She looked so old I thought she was Bobby's mother or someone when she was standing next to him. Not to mention how terrible he looks now. Both of them were so talented. I was a big Bobby fan because I loved New Edition. It's sad that people choose to go a certain route in their lives and risk almost everything. I'm glad you enjoyed the post!

Good post, Stacy-D... Me? I could not think of anyone I look like...I always get the same comment from folks... "Dang, you look like my cousin!!" or at weddings, "You sure you ain't in our family?" LOL!!

I did my tag, and it wasn't fun. I hope I didn't offend anyone I said I looked like.

Hmm, I have no idea who I look like. I used to get Tatyana Ali (Ashley from Fresh Prince) and Chilli from TLC and when my hair was short I'd get Jada Pinkett and when it's curly I'd get the Sister Sister twins, but in actuality I don't look like any of them.

And, the Shalamar singer was Howard Hewett and the GMA weatherman is Tony Perkins. I see the Tony Perkins.
