People are full of surprises. Last night a parking attendant told me, "You have a Carol Burnett smile." At first I was like, "Huh? That's the weirdest compliment I've ever heard!" But now in looking at Google pics of her, she always looks wild and happy, which is a look I'm glad I can offer within the constraints of a parking structure, so I'm totally into it. She also has excellent teeth, for which I thank my parents daily (genes and extensive orthodontia ftw!).
This was much better than the time someone said I reminded them of Vivian Vance, who I totally respect and love as a comedienne, but come on! Ethel? Sheesh. But really, I'll take a comparison to any talented goofball female. Plus, poor old Vivian's contract with Lucy forced her to stay on the frumpy side.
actually, Viv is killing it in this dress! Adorable. |
What's your fave/least fave celebrity comparison?

You do have a Carol smile! Nice.
My fave comparison is, of course, Jay McCarroll form Project Runway fame. I met him once and he was funny and charming, and I would be glad to be his look alike.
Least fave, Perez Hilton. Gross.
How about the time Derek was obsessed with that internet thing where you upload a photo and it tells you who you look like. He was so happy to call and tell me I got Audrey Hepburn and Courtney Love as my lookalikes. hah. Talk about best and worst!
Well, I've been told I looked like Brian Posehn and Todd Solondz .... sooo, you know that hasn't really worked out for me so much.
Derek, I think that the world also has "everyone with big black glasses looks the same" issues. That's the only defining feature that ties you to those guys. PS. Brian Posehn's stand-up is really good.
