Just like

 Anne Hathaway…  JUST like her. Or so they say.  I get the Anne Hathaway comparison at least once a month, although Its not one I actually see.  But to be honest, the popularity of the comparison often depends on what is going on right now.  Like when the movie 10 Things I hate about you came out, it was always Julia Styles.At least this one I can see.  Especially in a pictures like this.  I must say the darker hair helps.  Although she’s not the only blond I’ve been compared to.  Most recently, I’d say, every third person is telling me I look JUST like  Katherine Heigl, although mainly they don’t know her name…  That girl from those romantic comedies, and that sexy doctor show.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Grey’s Anatomy, and I think Katherine is BEAUTIFUL, so I don’t mind at all.  But it’s probably a come and go thing.  Like when Dawson’s Creek first came out, everyone said I looked just like Joey, although since I didn’t watch the show I had no clue what it meant.  But in the past year again people continue to tell me I look just like  dear old Katie Holmes… Although its often now followed by “but please don’t fall for Tom.”   Though I must say their kid is the cutest.  Sometimes I’m entirely surprised by what people tell me I look like.  It makes me wonder how differently people can view the world.  When someone starts the “you look JUUUUUST like” announcement,  someone like Geena Davis is not what I would expect them to follow with, and yet I have been told this on several accounts.  Someone surprised me just the other day by saying I looked like a young Natalie Portman   because apparently whatever Natalie might be today, she’s not young?  And then there was the time that an entire bar agreed that  I Look just like Liv Tyler, but to be honest I got the idea that Liv might simply have been the first name they could come up with.  Not that I didn’t enjoy it, although it would be pretty wrong if I were Steve Tyler’s daughter, the thoughts that I have about him and all.  One comparison that I seldom receive but on the occasions that I do, I always heartily enjoy is the lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones.  Oh goodness I think she’s beautiful.  Of course I’m missing my own person old Michael Douglas, and don’t get me wrong, I DO consider that MY LOSS.  What else?  Well, when Phantom of the Opera came out, I was often told I looked like Emmy Rossum but I think half of that was the similar hair factor.  And then it seems like a certain age group, though one that’s hard to specifically name, always wants to pin me as  Ashley Judd.  Then there are some very specific comparisons like Brooke Shields’ eyebrows  which, I might add, are nothing at all like mine except that both are very prevalent on the face.  And then this Halloween I accidentally encouraged some new comparisons by dressing up as Mary Poppins  and  Marilyn Monroe, obviously not at the same time.  I had only ever had two people tell me I looked a little like Marilyn before that, but after they seemed convinced that there was some connection.  On the Mary Poppins front, what started off as a cute children friendly costume, ended up a little creepy, as I continually was reminded of my Mary Poppins costume by young men who seemed to have had an unspoken Mary Poppins obsession for all of their childhood and was being confronted with it by a living breathing me, in a very good costume.  I can’t conclude without adding the American Idol almost winner  Katherine Mcphee.  She is so pretty, but I wish I, or anyone else for that matter, knew more about her other than she was runner up in American Idol, who knows what season, and that she looks good in red.  Those who find respect for me have often told me there is a  Jackie O quality about me, which I allow them to think, although I know the truth about my sense of style.  And then there are those who see through things in life, straight to the most deep running truth, and they tell me that I am in fact, JUST like Wonder Woman.  How I wish I had the gold cuffs.
