Celebrity Doppelganger

21 Jun Celebrity Doppelganger

Apparently, I have a celebrity doppelganger.

“Yall got Gabrielle Union back here,” the UPS man asked my co-worker. I turned around and half-smiled, “You look just like her,” he said before grabbing his clipboard and walking away.

I remember the first time I heard that, I was in high school and this boy said my mom and I looked like D.Wade’s girl. I didn’t see it. Then, some movie came out, I think it was Deliver Us From Eva–is that the one where she is super mean to the opposite sex for no reason? And I guess, I was mean to boys and my side-eyes look like her characters or something because people would say that I reminded them of her.

My fellow brown Upper East Sider’s boyfriend told her that Gabbie reminds him of me. I was sitting across the table from a girl I just met at a girls night out dinner, and she was like, you look like someone, you know what I’m about to say don’t you?

I did.

I don’t see it. This post isn’t a thirst trap, I’m not seeking compliments or for you to tell me that it’s a good thing, she’s pretty. I’m just saying this is something that I’ve heard, and pretty frequently in the last couple of months, that I don’t see it myself.

Though, I do like her from what I see on Twitter, she’s someone that I would like to be friends with in real life. We can side-eye boys together! What celebrity do people tell you that you look like?

Oh, and p.s., I was talking to a male friend about how excited I was about never having to wear pants again, i.e #SundressSeason and he said that men have had to learn to ‘read’ arms to see what’s happening under the dress. You could blog about this, he literally exclaimed. So ladies,  tone your arms up, the guys are watching.
