Images of Me and Reese scattered throughout page

Shortly after Man in the Moon came out on video, my mother told me to watch it and notice the striking resemblance to the main character, Dani, played by newcomer Reese Witherspoon. And so I did. And I noticed a resemblance. The resemblance was actually pretty strong. Then. However, ever since, I have unwillingly followed the career of this actress by remarks such as, "hey, you look like that girl who plays on A Far Off Place," to "Did you know you look like the girl who plays in Fear?" I got it a bit more with Pleasantville and Election, but not as much. Cruel Intentions however, brought on more of a relationship to the actress, as people suddenly started saying, "Hey, you look like Reese Witherspoon!" And now that she's an A-list star, and I see her pictures more and more, I'm seeing less and less of a resemblence. So, becuase I have a website and it just seems like a thing I can do, I will note how much we do not look like each other. For those of you looking for her mugshot, scroll down to the bottom of the site.

Smile! One place where we differ vastly is our smiles. I hate my smile, it's as crooked as a question mark, and when I smile I don't show nearly as many teeth. However, our mouths are surprisingly the same. When neither of us smile. I think this is one of the only places where we show any similarity. Reese has this slight smile, where only the corners of her mouth is turned upward. That's kind of what my smile is like. A little. That smirk. Chin? Ok, the shape of our faces differ. A lot. Reese has a heart shaped face with a very pronounced chin. My face is round with kind of a square jaw. Yet people still think we look alike. I do not have Reese's chin. I don't think anybody has Reese's chin. Eyes I don't know what you think, but I do not have Reese Witherspoon's eyes. She has almond shape eyes that kind of curve upward underneath when she's relaxed. I have a sleepy eye, I don't know what my eyes do. I guess we have the same eyes when we're both squinting. Cheekbones Alright, I concede. We both have high cheekbones. Nose I have never really tried to compare noses. Noses are just something you leave alone. Hair Alright. We're both blonde. That's about it. My hair is so thin and just blah! We do not have the same hair. However, when I recently cut my hair, I didn't do it to look like Reese, I did it because my hair needed a serious hacking. Profiles Alright, this is one you got me on. Me and Reese have very similar profiles. Although I don't see very many pictures of her in profile. Most pictures I have found are head on. Facial Expresions Come to think of it, this is one of those places where I do somewhat resemble Reese. We make some similar facial expressions. Depending on the facial expression. Now that one in Cruel Intentions, you got me. ---> However, I think I got a couple that she can't do! Personalities Hah! Complete Opposites! If I was an actress, well, i wouldn't be an actress because I wouldn't do ninety percent of the roles thrown in my direction! The only character Reese has ever played that is anything remotely like me is her early roles. Also, she's often described herself as a girly girl. And she knows how to dress. I'm t-shirt and jeans. Always have been, always will be. The Weight and Age Issue Alright, nobody really likes to think about it, but everyone changes as we grow older. When Reese was doing Man in the Moon, I looked a lot like her. I don't look like her in Legally Blonde. I think this also has to do a lot with her weight, as Reese is kind of a skinny little toothpick right now, and I'm just me. The Army keeps telling me I'm fat but I ignore them (because I'm not fat). In other words, I carry more weight in my face then Reese, and hence I don't really look like her. That's probably because I'm in the Army. And we're four years apart in age. That makes a difference. Although we both can seemingly pass for younger. In Conclusion Actually, I've never gotten a Reese Witherspoon Comment at a theater during one of her movies. It's always in retrospect. I think when somebody sees me and a picture of her at the same time, they don't make the connection. Ok, I have come to notice that most people make a comparison when I'm at work. And I'm wearing makeup. I rarely wear makeup and when I don't, I don't get the comments. (Except for that once, with that Drill Sergeant in Ft Sam. I don't know where that one came from!) So, I only really look like Reese when I wear make-up, she wears very little, when hair is pulled back, expressions are serious and we're squinting. I don't think this qualifies me for looking like Reese Witherspoon. I guess from a distance we might look somewhat alike. I know I don't get any Alicia Silverstone remarks. And I know that I sure in hell don't sound like her!

The first time I put pics on here, considering I've had it up for about a year and a half now
