One of my exes looks _just like_ Colin Farrell, or perhaps his elder brother. I feel bad because now when I see Farrell on TV I have to restrain myself from shaking my fist at the screen and hissing, “You b\*stard!” Another ex was a dead-ringer for a young Alan Cumming. To add to this, my cousin looks astonishingly like Anna Paquin. We’ve had people walk up to her on the bus and request “her” autograph, thinking it’s the real Paquin. The twist? _Paquin and Cumming were both in X2!_ I’m thinking I’ll eventually hook-up with a Hugh Jackman look-alike, just to complete the X-Men connection. 😃 Oddly, no one has ever told me that I look anything like any celebrity. Oh well. ---

My roommate looks just like Johnny Depp, except asian. All the girls go crazy, but I’m in on his filthy ways. ---

A dead ringer for “El Buki Numero Uno,” Marco Antonio Solis, about 75 pounds ago. I was once duped into wearing an all-black outfit and rolling up in a limousine to a “Midget Rodeo” a few years back. I was mobbed. There’s just nothing that can prepare one to be a wildly famous Mexican pop artist, not even for the better part of one afternoon. ---

I’ve been told I look like James Spader. My friend’s dad has signed autographs as both Huey Lewis and Joe Montana. A regular at my bar looks a bit like Avril Lavigne. My ex looks a bit like Christina Ricci, and thinks it’s a bad thing. ---

I’ve been told that I look like [Enrique Iglesias](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1491/Events/1491/EnriqueIgl_Mazur_585962_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Iglesias,%20Enrique) (can I borrow his girlfriend). Lately, people have been saying that I look like [David Blaine](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1402/Events/1402/DavidBlain_Mazur_411298_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Blaine,%20David). A few weeks ago, someone asked me if I was him. ---

People used to tell me I looked kinda like [Cher](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000333/). Now I look like [Edna May Oliver](http://www.angelfire.com/tx2/rainbow11/EDNA.html) . . . (P.S. While googling her, I actually found a site that promised me “A sexy set of free Edna May Oliver pictures!!!”) ---

The Rabbi Emeritus of a certain congregation in Columbus, Oh looks quite a lot like a certain former president of Iraq. ---

I have never been told that I look like anyone famous. It’s funny though cuz when I was returning a DVD the other day, I was in line with a lady who could have been Demi Moore’s twin. Dead ringer. Hmmm… I don’t think I know anyone else who looks like a celebrity… offhand. There is this girl in my spanish class who we nicknamed Barbie, if that counts. 😛 ---

In high school I was told I looked like [Jenna von Oy.](http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-1789) Since I got my glasses, I hear [Lisa Loeb](http://www.lisaloeb.com/) more often. The hubby lookes a bit like [John Ritter](http://members.fortunecity.co.uk/avrilbowles1/threescompany.html) in his younger days. Not a celebrity, but my boss and my best friend could be twins. ---

**Tolyri** and I could get together for a “Blossom” reunion.

I have heard the gamut from Richard Gere to William Hurt to Matthew Modine to Alec Baldwin. Lately I look just like most over-the-hill bloated Irish guys. Some people age gracefully. Apparently I just become more turgid.
