Have you been mistaken for a celebrity?

Last night I went to a party, dressed in what I thought was a pretty chic outfit. Well, apparently I borrowed too many style tips from Lilo because the funniest thing happened.
I myself was not that inebriated, if not just a little buzzed, but this other guy was wasted. I was sitting outside a room, talking to my best friend, when a girl comes out of the room, looks at me and says "Ella." ('her' in spanish) and points at me. I was kind of pissed off because I've been at parties where people trash talk me behind my back, so I was convinced she was talking shit about me. So.. I get up and go off onto the balcony and a guy comes out of the room and asks me "Hey.. can you do me a favor?" and I say "No.. you guys were talking shit about me in there" and he says "No.. listen, just go in there and pretend you're Lindsay Lohan... I have them all convinced you are and if you go in there, they'll freak out." So.. I go in there and they're all freaking out.. "Oh my god, It is you. Oh wow.. I thought you were in rehab blah blah blah" I just stood there and smiled.. didnt say a word.. and the guy made up story after story about why Lindsay would be at a party in South Texas. It was pretty funny, but I kept my glasses on all night because otherwise they'd know I wasnt her. All night it was pretty funny to catch them looking over at me and whispering to each other.. but.. to get to the point..

have you ever been mistaken for someone famous??

Fess up.

Not mistaken for, but told that I looked like Pink and Annie Lennox on several different occasions...

I get told a lot that I look like Lisa Marie Presley (and to me that's not a compliment)

I have been told I look alot like Sandra Bullock, but no one has ever mistaken me for her - but then again, I am quite a few years younger than she is

Not mistaken for, but I was once told I looked like a young Brooke Shields on a bad day??!?!

Me--no. But my father has been several times---for Johnny Carson (when he was alive). Back in the 70's, my whole family was flying to the Virgin Islands and we were in the airport and a woman started FREAKING OUT thinking my dad was Johnny Carson. She INSISTED that he was, even after my father spoke to her (he sounds nothing like him, he had that distinctive voice) and assured her he was NOT Johnny. She took a picture of him anyway....and to this day still probably thinks it was him. It was bizarre.

And it happened a few other times, but that was the most memorable.

Not since I grew up and cut off the pigtails.

I didnt take a picture that night.. sorry.. but it was a black dress, black leggings, black pumps, a black and white skull scarf and ray ban wayfarers.. my hair was wavy and it's kind of light, but I'm still kind of weirded out that they mistook me for Lindsay Lohan. I've gotten Nicole Richie before when I was really thin, but never Lindsay.

Im going out again tonight with the same people.. maybe it'll happen again. Ill take pics

I'd post a picture too but my mum would bury me. Plus it'd suck if someone i knew was on here or visited here. I'd rather stay anonymous especially after some of the posts i've made. I cant have my identity blown, ha!
