a random sampling of places and people:
*at the drugstore checkout - the clerk started talking to me in spanish and then asked me if i felt ok when i didn't respond. um, i don't speak spanish. and then he asked if anyone had told me i look like so and so on spanish tv... um yes.
*at the airport checkin - again, has anyone told you you look like so and so? uh, yes.
*at Triple Net - a couple spanish speaking coworkers first told me that i looked like her a few years ago
*the receptionist at my dentist's office
*a lady at the st regis in dana point... do you know you look like this person on spanish tv... yeah, i've heard that... oh?! you've heard that before?? yesssssss....
*taxi driver
*and a whole host of other receptionists and grocery workers
so... you be the judge... here is her picture below...

ok, so i can see a vague similiarity from maybe 100 yards away - you both have longer hair and the same general style/bangs, and i'm guessing she's tall and slim- but you are MUCH younger and prettier and have a much better smile, better (and less) makeup. is that green/blue shadow?
you totally do! you've never shown me her photo before but in terms of similar features it's there. i would bet if your hair weren't blonde you wouldn't get it though. a group of reps just told me i look like trishelle from the real world except not slutty. i still didn't think it was the nicest thing to say. hi, you look like reality tv's biggest whore.
Wow. I'm SO relieved to hear that you have a trannie double too! Mine's Sandra Oh. I get it all the time. :)
this is a really funny piece of information! i don't get mistaken for anyone ... but it kind of sounds fun.
wait. i lied. i get mistaken for:
* you look just like my brother's girlfriend
* you look just like my cousin's neighbor
* you look just like a girl i went to school with
and it's really not that fun. nevermind. but i never get mistaken for anyone famous, which in retrospect is probably not much more fun than "just like a girl that worked at the library"
wow! crazy resemblance! although i agree with courtney that she looks like an older version of you. i often get mistaken for gwyneth, giselle and angelina....ooooorr maybe not.
thank you courtney for the "i'm much younger!"
i wish i got mistaken for gisele... gosh, that'd be wonderful... and then i could steal tom brady... and be best friends with his ex bridget and yes, i am living in a fantasy world. but, in the meantime i will just have to settle to look like a chick on spanish tv which is just so weird to me because my background couldn't be much more waspy.
Applying my years of high school spanish...I would just like to point out that it's El Gordo y la Flaca (they don't really 'do' ks in spanish). So the TV show title literally means the fat and the cute super skinny girl. You do have a passing resemblence to la flaca (but you're younger and cuter! but just as nicely skinny!)
People rarely say that I look like anyone but I have gotten (from students)
you look like Rene Zellwiger (this has, it should be noted, been said only immediately before I assign final grades. HMMM....)
and back when ER was all the rage I sometimes got told that I looked like Carrie Weaver from ER. My mom was the image of CW so this comment was not surprising to me..
i couldn't find flacka in the spanish dictionary, so i am glad sarah shed some light ... flaca ... cute!
Devon - you're in good company, I don't have a famous twin either; my mom did though- in her 20's and 30's, she was the spitting image of Julie Christie
umm hello courtney...you are totally sarah michelle gellar!
oh that's right... is it pathetic that I did love Cruel Intentions?
