Okay, that’d be the one on the top, because the fabric in the other one’s chemise is too nice (a) for a chemise and (b) to be worn by a woman of ill repute, which is indicated by the off-the-shoulder wearing of the chemise. However, the rolled hat is probably from an earlier period and would be more likely worn with a veil… ---

What is with the Jodi Foster thing…in the past people have actually thought I was her, but only if I was freshly scrubbed, hair down and straight… Now I get Gwyneth Patrow which makes me giggle…I WISH! The best pickup line I ever got was at a bar when a drunk guy came up to me and said, “Hey, you look just like Gwyneth Paltrow.” I patted him on the shoulder, told him it was a nice try and was walking off when he said "When you decide to take me seriously, I’ll be over here…you can call me ‘Brad.’ That was when Miss Paltrow was still with the Bradster… ---

[Here’s me.](http://members.aol.com/jonahjamsn/images/galen%20ubal1.jpg) I’ve been compared to [Abraham Lincoln](http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/images/al16.jpg), which I rather like, though I don’t see it. I’ve also been told I look like[Edgar Allan Poe](http://www.poemuseum.org/images/poepic.jpg) - oddly enough, my middle name is also Allan. I’m not sure how I feel about that one… ---

When I was younger, I got [Corey Feldman](http://www.hooloovoo.com/feldman/gallery/gallery3.html); which I wan’t overjoyed with, but I went as his character from Stand By Me for Halloween and EVERYBODY got it. More recently, when “Kate & Leopold” came out, I got people saying I look like [Breckin Meyer](http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&group=0035423&photo=Ss/0035423/1219_40.jpg&path=gallery&path_key=0035423).

When my hair was in braids, I got Brandi or one of the girls from Cleopatra (I think it’s a kids singing group? It was little girls who thought that) a lot. I don’t. Not at all. Vaguely similar hairstyles (and even then - not _that_ similar). However - I did once (about a year or two ago) see a picture of an actress from the tv show “Felicity” (I don’t know her name, never watched the show) in a magazine and thought “She looks like me…if I were pretty.” I’d never seen anyone who even remotely resembled me (had features and coloring vaguely similar to mine) in a magazine or on television or in a movie before. It was very cool. So if you know who the hell she is - I look kind of like her. The fat, non-attractive version of her, but like that. ---

I get Drew Barrymore. We’re the same age, hair coloring, complexion, eyes, etc., so I guess it makes sense. **iampunha** , aren’t you a cutie? My husband always got called Doogie Hauser (Neil Patrick Harris) who is now starring in Cabaret on Broadway. :eek: ---

When I was a kid someone insisted I looked like Debbie Harry, only brunette. She kept going hello Blondie! to me, as I believe that she thought that that was actually Debbie Harry’s name…like that character in the comic strip… Well anyway, I could never see it myself! And no one else has been able to either! ---

My mom once told me she thought I look like Sarah Michelle Gellar. True, we both have long hair, and we both have two eyes, and a nose, and a mouth … other than that, I’m really not seeing it. Personally, I think I look more like Sally Field, circa _Norma Rae._ ---
