I read this post in Daddy’s Roses and naturally had to go see who my twin was.
So I went to My Heritage to see what celebrity I looked like - or which celebrity looked like me….
I put a recent photo of myself and - with not a little bit of fear and trembling - clicked the go button. I was shocked to see Britney Spears pop up as the closest look alike. Now, I’m twice her age and thought that was rather suspicious, but hey, they go by face structure, so I decided who was I to question the wisdom of the computer (g).
I was so relieved that my look-alike wasn’t Madelene Albright that I fearlessly pressed on.
They give you several look-alikes with a percentage of how close they are to your likeness. As I clicked along, I ran across a few that I had to click by quickly, fortunately they weren’t anyone that anyone would know.
Emboldened, I tried some different photos of myself. I was so vain by this time that I put in a photo from my college graduation thinking the computer might just explode from the sheer beauty of my 20 year old self and whoever the computer decided was my lookalike.
And the results were ….. (drum roll)
Here’s me at my college graduation (an undisclosed number of years ago):
Here’s my computer generated twin:
Yasser Arafat is my twin.
Sigh.
My vanity got thrown into the Bonfire!
Happy New Year!



Oh NO!!!!!!! WHY did you tell this/! I didn’t mention that Alan Alda was my third choice! LOL I noticed that they rely heavily on angle of the photo (how the face is turned, what direction the eyes are focused, etc.)

LOL I thought it was funny!
Well Beth, don’t feel bad. I didn’t post my results but let met share here.
One photo I used said that Sophia Loren was my twin….well that’s not so bad. Another photo said that Meryl Streep was my twin…again, not so bad. Then I had my “Yasser” moment when another photo revealed that my twin was some old black guy that I had never heard of (I think he was a scientist or something). I decided that I would stop while I was behind!!!!
Beth this is scary! I submitted two different photos and also got Britney Spears and Yassar Arafat! I also got Bill Gates on one photo.
Norma! We are twins! lol
