I always thought it would be kinda cool to look like a celebrity, but I was never really “one of those girls” who had it like that.
And while I was accused of looking like Dana Delaney in college (I didn’t) and of looking like Marilyn Monroe recently (I was wearing a costume, so I kinda did, I guess), I never really heard anyone else accuse me of looking like a famous person.

This is a Worhol-style print of me in my Marilyn Monroe costume for Halloween last year. My friend Stacy made it for my birthday. She's so sweet and talented!

So, yeah – I didn’t get accused of looking like a celeb too often, and I couldn’t have cared less. It obviously wasn’t something I focused on, because, honestly, I just wanted to be the best possible version of ME. And really, do you know anyone who is so miserable because nobody tells them “OMG YOU LOOK JUST LIKE (INSERT CELEB NAME HERE)!”??
But then, a couple of years ago, people started telling me I looked like “that girl from Criminal Minds” – and at first, I just figured it was a fluke, or maybe that the person needed glasses.
After it happened five or six times, I finally Googled it and saw who they meant; they thought I looked like Kirsten Vangsness – the beautiful and talented actress who plays Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds.
I don’t know – what do you think? Would you say I’m a Penelope Garcia look-alike? And people keep telling me that I sound like her too. I hadn’t watched the show before, and I didn’t know how I felt about the comparison.
So I watched a few YouTube clips – and you know what? I wasn’t mad – that girl is HOT and SMART! So, I’ll take it as a compliment! Wouldn’t you?

What do you think? Is it true? Do we really look alike? Be honest with me – I can take it! 🙂 What celebrity do people say you look like?
