Crafty Diversions: My Celebrity look-alikes

Ok, I saw this Celebrity Look Alike match thing on someone's blog, then I heard it at knitting, and today I saw it on Zona's blog. So...I decided to try it. I tried a few different current pictures and did get a lot of similar hits. I also tried a picture from a couple of years ago.

I wanted to see if how the program worked and if I would actually get similar hits with photos taken both at similar and different times and with photos where I looked a little different. Maybe a little vain too. I got repeat hits on Rachel Bilson, Kristin Kreuk, Tata Young and Christina Ricci.

What's funny is that I was expecting to get matches/hits on Ming-Na, who is known best for her roles on ER and as June in The Joy Luck Club, but I didn't get any matches. Although I don't really see much of a resemblance, many people have come up to that I look like her; surprisingly, even my mom thought so after watching Joy Luck. My most emphatic and interesting encounter occurred when Hubby and I honeymooned in Kuaui. I went barefaced to a free make-your-own lei class at the hotel. A woman and her grandaughter were doing the same. They kept whispering while staring at me. I thought maybe it was 'cuz they thought I looked like shit or maybe I had a huge streak of unblended sunblock on my face. I even rubbed my face to make sure. Finally, the woman asked me "Um, excuse me, are you the girl from ER? The Chinese doctor on the show?" No, I'm not. They kept staring and asked "Really? Are you sure?" Uh-huh. I am not Ming-Na. "Oh...I could swear...." no, no. The lady turned to her granddaughter "Doesn't she look like that doctor on ER?" Then she asked again, "Really?" I shook my head. They tried not to stare. "You look soooo much like her." hmmm... They kind of left me alone after that, but trailed me a little as I headed back towards our room after I finished my lei. It was really weird.

This one is a picture taken just this past weekend, on the 11th at my cousin Amber's wedding.
