Poll question: What celebrity do I resemble most?
Because I haven't had an uber-vain narcissistic thread with lotsa pictures of me yet today.

By now you've all seen my cool self-portrait about 500 times...





Here's another, more humorous one of me (slightly edited for content)...








So now have some fun with me, what celebrity do I resemble most...
(I've been told I look like most of these guys at some point in my life...)




1. Brad Pitt (with glasses)



2. John Lennon



3. Steven King



4. Eric Clapton



5. Johny Depp (as if!)



6. Harry Potter kid.

1. I was going to go with Corey Feldman, but after seeing your choices,
I'll have to go with the Stephen King/John Lennon hybrid cloning experiment.

8. Sounds like half a good novel idea...
Can I steal it for my next book?

Corey Feldman? There's one I haven't heard before.

2. Even before I read your choices
I was leaning toward Stephen King.

12. Steven King seems to be winning...
Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 07:07 PM by Longgrain
(why isn't anyone voting for Johny Depp! Am I that ugly...:cry: )

But seriously, I guess that's a compliment--comparing me to Steven King--since I have been working on several novels...

17. I think Lennon is the closest approximation, actually.
But you have stronger (manlier?) features in the jaw and brow area, which is why I went with the child of both he and King.

Plus, as a hetero guy it doesn't much matter what you look like...and if you're a writer, that is immensely attractive because it shows you have something upstairs.

Not a lot of people see the stuff upstairs before judging a person by their looks...thanks for your kind words. :)

P.S. I'm a painter as well.

30. The only reason I ask
Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 07:55 PM by Longgrain
is because I'm planning on being a celebrity someday myself--sigh--and I wanted to see who I was in the same league with.

I jus' haven't had my big break yet...

49. that's the one! Perfect match
Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 09:01 PM by FizzFuzz
he's your doppelganger, Longgrain.
Steven King is right out.
This guy Moe Berg is IT.

Well, not IT it, that's a Steven King novel which is a funny coincidence since I wasn't trying to make a Steven King joke, it just came about as a simple side effect of grammar, but anyway, all voting booths should be closed now because there is no contest, this Moe Berg guy is IT.

(Moe Berg. Huh, he sure doesn't LOOK Jewish)

23. What's more fun to play...If they mated !
I think Conan does that? Anyhow, before I even saw your choices I thought a young Steven King-ish.

But if you play "If they mated"....you'd definitely be the love child of Steven King and Diane Keaton!

44. I guess Steven King is the clear winner...
I don't know if I'm flattered or not but...

Being a writer meselfs, I guess I'm cool with that...

BYW my first book (still unpublished ;( } is a satirical rip-off of Steven King's first book Carrie, about a misunderstood teenage girl who goes nuts at her Junior Prom (the main character is even named Caroline by pure coincidence)...

It's not a horror story tho...more of a fantasy/ romance...as are most of my stories...

But I like it. :)

52. I'd met him during Buffalo Springfield days
waaaaay back!
When you posted the B&W photo the other day, that's who came to mind...I just looked for photo and now realize that it's more your aura than a strict physical resemblance. However, I still think so after seeing this other photo...IMHO, cooler than the other choices (well, maybe not John Lennon B-) )
btw, I'm an artist also!
