Oh, Puh-LEASE ! !

Toni had a new post on her blog earlier today about a site she had found that compares your (or any photo you submit) photo to celebrities and gives you their picks for those you resemble most....... In their OBVIOUSLY BLIND opinion, that is. After Toni's unfortunate experience, I had said in her comments that I would avoid the site at all costs. But after reading Barb's post about her celebrity look-alikes, I decided to try it, just for kicks. Well, let's just say, I got kicked.

This photo to the left is the one I submitted for comparison. Okay, everybody ready for this? The top match for my photo was Lena Olin, whom I have never even heard of before. Apparently she is an actress. Ironically, my first name is Lena, although I use my second name, Diane, except for legal purposes. Uh.....I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T SEE IT, FOLKS!! And trust me, it gets worse. Oh yes, it does! Ready for the next victim? Okay, here it comes.

This pretty lady of color is Marion Jones, Olympic Gold Medalist. I'm sure everybody can see how much we favor. If you look at those picture from, say........Abu Dhabi, that is!!! I'm dark, but not quite that dark, and she is showing teeth, which I do not in that picture at all. We do have the requisite number of noses, eyes, etc. but that is about as similar as we get to one another.

Our next victim is Shirley MacLaine. She has been around long enough that I think everyone knows who she is. Barb was even KIND enough to say that she saw a resemblance between us, but I don't see it. In case you haven't seen a pattern developing here, I haven't seen a resemblance to any of them. The pattern continues with the fourth and final one. The comparison to end all comparisons, folks. Everyone that needs to visit the restroom should do so now, and those with weak bladders should make sure your Depends Undergarments are fresh and dry. Also, have plenty of tissue on hand for the laughing fit that is about to ensue, and please do not drink anything for the next few critical moments, as I can testify that Diet Coke and hot coffee DO NOT feel at all pleasant when they come out your nose.

Drumroll, please.....Andre, where are you when I need you, you drum-playing wizard, you? Ready? Here she is, people, HEATHER LOCKLEAR ! ! I think it's glaringly obvious that we were somehow separated at birth, don't you? I mean, just compare the two pictures.....We could be twins.....Or even triplets, considering the extra weight I carry, LOL. ONE of my legs weighs more than she does, for Pete's sake! I don't think even our Eyebrows look alike, much less our faces. And I'll stop the comparison right there out of consideration for the weak-stomached among my readers.

Now, consider with me that this is supposed to be facial-recognition software that does this analysis. Does this mean if Lena Olin, Marion Jones, Shirley MacLaine and Heather Locklear have the facial-recognition software on the locks of their homes that I look enough like them to gain entry into their homes? Even more disturbing is that some of our most sensitive government military and research facilities use this software for their employees to be admitted to their jobs, some of it TOP SECRET stuff. Scarey, ain't it?

Okay, I was brave enough to go to the site and see who I look like, how about you? It's your turn. Go HERE, and then tell me who you look like in my comments, or blog about it and leave me a comment so I can check it out. Thanks to Toni for giving me and Barb the heads-up about the site. :-)

My Father's Day post will be up either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Happy Weekend, everybody!
