Well, her nose is thinner (hell, _she’s_ thinner), and she’d have to dye her hair red, but I’d like to see Jodie Foster play me (when we were kids, she reminded me of me). ---

30 pounds ago, a lot of people told me I looked like Brandon Lee (Bruce’s son, the one who was killed while filming _The Crow_). We were both half Asian and compactly built. Were. ---

I’m not going under the knife to be thin, since I’m not obese. I may visit the dentist for some veneers soon, though! ---

A slightly younger **Daniel Day-Lewis** would be me (He’s about ten years older than me.) Or maybe Ben Affleck who is closer to my age (although I think he might be younger)…naw, I’ll go with Day-Lewis. At least _he_ can act. ---

Judi Dench can TRY to play the role of me. Let’s see what sort of acting chops that chick has. ---

When I was dancing, many people compared me to a young [Mumtaz](http://atulg.tripod.com/her/mumtaz.html). However, Mumtaz being dead and all, she can’t exactly play with me so I had to go through a whole list of younger actresses to find one. [Rima Sen](http://atulg.tripod.com/her/rima_sen.jpg) ---

According to \*\*Anastaseon’s \*\* site, I could be played by Ashley Judd or Aishwariya Rai. Of course, it also presents both Hilary Clinton \*and \* Hillary Duff as options, so make of that what you will. For what it’s worth, when we played this game in my office, they chose Catherine Keener, based more on personality than looks. ---

It’s uncanny – I can’t even count the number of times a day I hear “hey, you look just like a cross between Brad Pitt and Helmut Kohl!” I know! Man, despite my whiter-than-an-Irishman’s-ghost skin, I am _constantly_ mistaken for Tyra Banks. Just, _always_. My husband says the only way he can tell us apart is because my boobs are bigger. 😉 My picture is in my sig. Be amazed at the identical-ness of Tyra Banks and myself. Separated at birth, we! Long lost twins! She will be _so_ happy to see me again. :dubious: She can still play me if she wants to. I don’t mind being mistaken for her once in a while. I mean, she’s pretty in her own right. Maybe she doesn’t match up to my bright, sunshiny beauty, but she does all right. 😛 Just in case the smilies aren’t driving the point home, I _am_ kidding. The first scan I ran of my face actually brought up the Swamp Thing. The second hit was the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The third hit was a large lump of tar. The fourth hit was a fried chicken wing. The resemblance was _amazing_! ---

You are way hotter than Tyra Banks, and I say that with only mild awareness of how flirtatious that sounds, but it’s not meant that way at all really. Really what it means is that I think she’s freakish looking and thus, loses valuable hot-points. Of course, now that sounds worse than when I thought it sounded like I was hitting on you, but you gotta know me better than that by mow too, right? Soooooo, since I’ve made no sense at all here, and managed to stick my foot in my mouth…I’ll run away. 😛 ---
