POW #26 the "OMG do you know who you look like?" edition

I think it's incredibly funny (and flattering) that I am constantly being told by strangers that I remind them of Trisha Yearwood. It started a few years ago when we were in NYC with friends and a woman approached me at Filene's Basement...but she ACTUALLY thought I was Trisha! Over the years I've gotten this probably 20 odd times and it cracks me up. The latest was this week in my doctor's office. Imagine if you will: it was early in the morning, the first appointment of the day. The waiting room was packed and no one was talking...you could have heard a pin drop. Next thing I know this lady, probably standing 15 feet away loudly exclaims "Oh my GAWD do you know how everyone supposedly has a twin? Do you know who you look like?" I totally felt my face blush, everyone in the waiting room turned and looked at me in that instant, she was so freakin' loud! Plus she kept going on and on and on and on...so I finally guessed "um, Trisha Yearwood?" and she freaked out..."You look JUST like her!"

I personally don't see it. I think she's gorgeous so I'm flattered, I guess it's better than being told you look like Cloris Leachman or something. So we decided, we should put it to a vote. Rob took these pics of me and we've placed them next to the actual Trisha (keep in mind, would you, that my makeup and hair team had apparently taken the night off...not to mention my air brushing staff).




So, whaddya think? Props to my photographer by the way, we were cracking up doing this.

OMG I LOVE that you did this!! Too cute! I'd say yes, you look like her, but obviously you're more gorgeous!!
My word is distsfe. Trisha Yearwood is full of anger and distsfe that her doppleganger is both nicer and more attractive than she is herself.

I agree, nicer, sweeter, less famous and much more attractive. But in terms of modeling, can't say I have never worked with Trisha, but Beth Yearwood is no PRIMA-DONNA...Couldn't hold a pose, takes lousy direction and openly mocked my sets and lighting. Very dissatisfying photo shoot.

My word is "brurs". I am sure after reading this comment, my reception from the wife at home will be slightly brurs.

ROFL! You crack me up.

Definitely a resemblance, but I bet you sing better! I can't say I've ever listened to a Trisha Yearwood song, but I've heard your renditions of Clouds and Brass Monkey, and they would be hard to beat. I think you need to embrace your celebrity look-alikedness and use it to your advantage....hard-to-get dinner reseravations, VIP seating at concerts and sporting events, royal treatment at coastal rehab facilities....

Oh, and my word is "clactu". Je vais a la clactu.
