women of noteworthy appearance, some incidentally reasonably attractive, others not so

[quislibet]

1. a woman in this (work) building yesterday who looked like a bizarro-world labellemargaux in a pink fluffy sweater-dress.

2. a woman, on the train this morning and many other times, a ca.-15-years-in-the-future version of senora in sensible business attire with cheekbones that would scratch glass.

3. two women at North Station this morning, 40-something-year-old identical twins with identical facial warts, identical butt-length fur coats, almost-identical tan boots, non-identical ankle-length velour skirts, almost-identical round tan hats with black quasi-fur trim, and matching red shoulder bags, slung on opposite shoulders, so that the bags themselves traveled between the two as they walked up the train platform in front of me, speaking to one another in what seemed to be a Slavic language. In my imagination they are powerful and feared, if tacky, witches.

you know, i've always had various people at various stages of my life say, "i thought i saw you the other day. weren't you the one in the truck/with the poodle/on the tv/at the laker's game/in my class/etc?" it always freaked me out a little because it meant that there's something pretty common about the way i look (or is it?) that makes so many people "look" like me or vice versa. also, in the past, i have been compared to gina davis, rose mcgowan, madonna, a young susan surandon (sp?), some girl on that 70's show and courtney cox (not that being compared to any of these women is bad or anything, but still...)

when this happens, i do something drastic, like color or curl my hair and wear new makeup but i just end up looking like someone else anyway.

Well, if it's any comfort, the only other place I've seen you or someone similar where you were not yourself personally present was on the cover of newspaper inserts.
