Celebrity Look Alike

     The entire borough of Manhattan is saturated with famous people. Mariah Carey, Colin Farell, Patrick Dempsey, Angelina and Brad Jolie - Pitt and their 4 kids, Uma Thuman, and Natalie Portman are a few of many stars who have been sighted in NYC.  We however, have been living here for what it seems to be forever and we haven't even come close to bumping into a famous person. And no, the stars at the Thanksgiving parade do not count.

      After more than 1000 days in the city, Trent, Tia, and I finally had our first celebrity sighting at JFK. This occurred before Christmas when we were trying to catch our plane back to the Buckeye state. We were waiting in line to get through the  security metal detectors when I noticed that the profile view of a guy ahead of me looks a lot like the ADD guy from the show "Extreme Makeover." He was frantically taking off his hat, sweater, and shoes and throwing them into those nasty light blue bins. I turned to Tia who was also staring at him and she instantly replied, "Ty Pennington?" I nodded my head and thought, "Yeah, Ty...." We both started discussing about the possibility of meeting a famous person at a public airport during the busiest time of the year when Trent insisted that he was definitely Ty from the show.  Without any hesitation, I started to shout his name in front of all the people in line and the 90  guards working at the terminal. At the third attempt, I loudly SCREAMED "Ty" and he actually turned around, smiled broadly and waved at us. Trent was a bit embarrassed by my enthusiasm but Tia and I were soooooo excited by his presence.



So I figure we should find our celebrity look alikes. If we can't find real ones on the streets of NYC, we can at least pretend we come close to looking like a famous person. After much searching on the web I found our look alikes. 

Here is a picture of us as average mundane citizens


What a sexy couple!!!

And here we present our other lives that we do not know about.

Trent vs Don Adams from "get Smart"







This grin is brillant. Trent looks exactly like him.



Maggie Q vs "Maggie B"
Yes I admit, this picture is a tad biased since I am the person writing the blog and picking our look a likes. And yes, I did try to find the most beautiful Asian person available online. And Yes, she is a tad lovelier, a tad skinnier and a tad hotter than me (yes just a tad) and that most of her features look nothing like mine. But if you examine closely, you will see unmistakably  that we both have long black hair. In addition, Maggie Q is half white and half asian, so we have at least 50% in common.


Notice my eyebrows and her eyebrows. They are both BLACK in color!!!!!

No, I don't have the abs but I do have a belly button that looks exactly like Maggie Q's belly button. It is absurd how much we have in common.
