Our Celebrity Counterparts

The folks at My Heritage have a demo that allows you to upload a picture of yourself to scan against the 3200 famous peeps they've got in their database to see who you most closely resemble. So of course I had to try this out to see who my famous doppelganger is. I used the following photo, taken while on our honeymoon in New York:
Once uploaded, the demo scans your picture using cool face recognition technology. You get to view the process, which looks something like this:
And then, < insert drum roll > the results.

The closest match they had for me was Twiggy. And it is weird because now that I've been told there is a resemblance, I see one. But, I don't really know Twiggy - she's before my time, so I clicked the arrow to see who else was on the list.

Want to know who else I share similar face composition with? Kate Beckinsale. Sweet Jesus! She's gorgeous! Okay, so she took that horribly bad part in Underworld and it was a sucky vampire movie. (No pun intended. Seriously.) That doesn't change the fact that she is gorgeous and the My Heritage people claim I share a fraction of what makes that beauty possible. (I said "claim". I'm grounded in reality.)

And, because that wasn't enough of an ego boost, I gleefully clicked to reveal the next person in the list. Lo and behold, it's Kristin Davis. The Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte in Sex & the City! A show I just happen to love, which must mean there is some greater force at work here. Really, though, I'm just glad it didn't shoot out Tori Spelling, who I've never thought was pretty and would have been devastated if it had turned out I looked like her. Well, not devastated--but that sort of result would most likely have kicked off research into cosmetic surgery for sure.

Okay, just for shits and giggles, I uploaded Darr's pic (taken at the same time and place as mine) to see where he landed on the celebrity scale. Back in March I wrote about my love for the show House. Now I know why there is such an attraction to the show. Darren is House! (See following pics as proof.)
