patsy-cake

Last week, a customer at Starbucks (don't worry, love, it wasn't the "lusty Irishman"...it was a lusty Italian man) told me I looked like Patsy Kensit. She, apparently, starred in Lethal Weapon 2 with Mel Gibson. I wouldn't have thought much of it except that another customer, along with his friend, mentioned the same thing today. I smiled and nodded. Once I looked her up for myself, I realized it was meant as a compliment. I had no idea who she was.

This reminded me that I used to get Lauren Holly when I was in high school, back when she was dating Jim Carrey, people knew who she was, and she was blond. Once, on the street, an older man said I looked like Britt Ekland, one time Bond Girl, and ex-wife of Peter Sellers. I also get Gollum, Ren, and Ezma but the people who mentioned these similarities have been shipped off to South East Asia so I don't suggest you try it yourself.

This lead me further down the look-alike road and reminded me that recently I began a game with someone who didn't want to participate called, informally, "What Celebrity Couple Would Play Us In The Movie Of Our Lives?". The runners up to play Andrew and me included:

• Pete Sanpras and Bridgette Wilson
• Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker
• Chris Martin and Gwenyth Paltrow
• Anne and Gilbert

I'm secretly hoping that this launches a cross-blog Celebrity Look-Alike-a-Thon of epic proportions.

For those of you who read my blog and I have never met in person: you may send the links anyway but I won't be able to verify the resemblance. I'll take your word for it.
