Really light hearted (superficial and daft) even) thread

Mamaa we could be twins from the avatars

When I was young, some people thought I resembled Olivia Newton-John. Those were the days ...

My ex daughter in law used to say I looked like Bette Midler. So think Bette Midler with three extra stone!

My husband thought I looked like Jan Francis in Just Good Friend days and Belinda Lang in 2.4 children, which I was happy about. Sadly, I think I look much older than them now (though I'm not).
Famous people seem to age so well compared with us normal people. I used to be skinny like Twiggy and look girlish like her but she looks younger now. Lulu also looks very young.

My son’s friend always calls me Wendy, as he said I looked like Wendy James ( I’ve never heard of her either). However, I suspect he meant Wendy Richards ( Pauline Fowler off of Eastenders), and didn’t like to admit his mistake!
I was approached in a Glasgow restaurant once and asked if I was Margo MacDonald (SNP politician), and before the hair colouring and weight loss I looked like Ma Larkin!
Nowadays I don’t look like anybody.

Wendy James was the singer in nineties band Transvision Vamp.

Well i was told years ago i looked like an actor in Eastenders.
I just hope the didn`t mean Roly.

How do I get an avatar? Asking for a friend ;)

Mirror mirror on the wall,
I am my mother after all.?

Nannyto3- you need to start a new thread.....

In the early seventies I was told I looked like Susan George.

I look like a female version of my dad same eyes etc.I also moved to a suburb of Derby and I am constantly mistaken for a lady who is a keen horserider and goes (prelockdown) to real ale pubs .I am sometimes accosted by people cross as I have ignored them we even have the same coat from next I gather

Nannyknee I've been told I look like Nana Mouskouri too. I've also been told I look like Elkie Brooks. Never saw it myself. As I've got older I've started to look like my mother but have my father's eyes. My WP (wonderful partner) has often been told he looks like Roger Waters. He does. For an avatar I would choose a cartoon animal rather than a cartoon person though, a bit like Tigger ?

I've always been mistaken for Jilly Cooper - the smile & the hair, I believe.

I used to look like Gladys Pugh from Hi di Hi. It was the black hair and pixie cut I think.
Now, I avoid mirrors.

Mrsdof I thought that too but I think your hair is fairer than mine!

I have been told a few times I look like Goldie Hawn.

A drunken man once came up to me at a bus stop and insisted I was Glenda Jackson. I’m not sure he was a good judge ! ?

Well this is what my son did to me using an app. ?
I hope no one recognises me.

I look like Tubs from the league of gentlemen. Not kidding! Nothing that the new vaccine, a healthy diet, hairdresser, gym and a facial won’t fix!

One of my nans informed me - at the age of 11 - that I looked like Libby Morris!

I was most upset at the time ................ in 1962, no girl of that age wanted to be told that she looked like Libby Morris - even if she WAS a very talented woman !

Apparently I look like my mums half sister. She in turn looks like my grandmother, so I guess I look like my grandma!
All my girls (dd & two gds) look like me!
But here's my avatar ?

Apparently I used to look & sound like Pauline Quirke from Birds of a feather according to some work colleagues. Probably because I grew up in Islington London (before it became posh) & sound common?

That’s my avatar, and the real me!

My mum, every one in the family tells me that.
