So apparently, it’s Doppelgänger week on facebook…Ok, I’ll have fun with this one, since I skipped out on the last “change your profile pic” week, and the recent post your bra-color day. This one is all about your famous twin! Who do people say you look like? Just change your profile picture to someone famous (actor, musician, athlete) you have been told you look like for the week, post a message to your profile and message your friends with it!

I have been told I look like Drew Barrymore…more times than I can count. My favorite image of her is in her Cinderella flick, ‘Ever After,’ it’s the scene that always makes me gasp for breathe, when she appears at the royal ball transformed from a frumpy farm girl into the beautiful princess. Oh to have a hair and makeup guy as your best friend! (like Jess Simpson’s Ken Paves!)

She is not my favorite ‘real life‘ person, but as a child of the 80’s, she will always have a special place in my heart. I remember watching Drew on screen, during my first ever movie theater experience in 1985 as she played little “Gertie” in the re-release of E.T. Oh that was a memorable night! My family had been camping in the mountains and we decided to go see a movie to get away from all the Indian summer mosquitoes! I’m pretty sure my brothers fell asleep, but at six years old, I remember being mesmerized by a little blond haired girl and her alien friend lighting up that giant screen. Looking at the stars on the way home that night out of the back of our new Dodge Caravan, kept me awe struck.

My Facebook profile is changed this week, in honor of all my 80’s memories, and all the people who stop me on the street to tell me I look like Drew Barrymore – even though, I really don’t see it!
