Except for the rare occassion when I'm compared to a young Candace Bergen (right), I'm constantly being told I look like Reese Witherspoon. Like stopped on the street by strangers and told this. Really, I don't see the resemblance. I think it's just a case of us being the same size and shape with similar hair (the same reason I've been asked if I'm related [twins even!] to these people).


But it happens so often, and I'm so unsure of how I appear to people, that I'm sort of convinced Reese and I are kindred spirits, so naturally I take a special interest in her life and career. However, things went too far today when, in anticipation of a trip to the hair salon, I started googling her hairstyles and thought seriously about dying my hair brown because she looked good with brown hair.


So let's settle this once and for all: do I or do I not look like Reese Witherspoon.
