I Should Star as Jennifer Lawrence's Mother in a Major Motion Picture!


I recently saw a Facebook post of a friend of mine where a website compared  her image to that of celebrities and Angelina Jolie was chosen as the celebrity she most resembled. 

Okay...not really JUST LIKE HER, but sure. I could see something around the eyebrows, maybe the length of her nose.

So I checked it out for myself by following the link to My True Self and the comparison said that I looked like Jennifer Lawrence.


My Facebook Page Profile Image is of my book instead of me,
but there are other photos of me posted on my page.

I would NEVER have guessed Jennifer Lawrence! Don't get me wrong, I really like Jennifer and I believe that she is a very beautiful and talented actress and I have enjoyed watching her career take off since the first time I saw her in "Winter's Bone". 

Still, I could not understand where the website came up with that comparison.

That was until I found a photo of her with brown hair.


So, now I'm thinking sure...in the right lighting, etc., I could at least play her mother, although I look nothing like her actual mother.


This is a photo of Jennifer and her mom.

But I thought I'd throw this photo of me in for fun. 
This is me the night I met my husband, Phil.




Love the tan and the PERM!

Of course, photos of Jennifer Lawrence are easy to find. Finding photos of me at that age...well, that is another story.

Rarely was there a camera around, but I have to thank my friend, Tracy. She always came prepared and it is because of my friendship with her since college, there is some recorded history of my existence.

Still, having gone through photos, I do see some similarities.  

But I see some significant differences as well. I've got crazy arching brows and she's got smoother straight brows. We've both got wide smiles, but my upper lip has more prominent points. My hairline is little more squared off where her's is more rounded and where we both have rosy cheeks, mine is a little tighter than hers.

The funny thing is that I am usually compared both in looks and my acting to Kathy Bates.



So I was surprised when her image didn't show up when I did the comparison.

Another actress that I have been compared to that might strike you as a bit of a stretch is Joan Crawford.


Oh, well!

I guess when people say that I look familiar...I probably do!

Countdown to Christmas: 13 Days Santa's Little Helpers...American Horror Story "Coven" the Holiday SpecialS

Who knew?

I decided to catch up on the season of American Horror Story "Coven" that I refused to watch on television because I am sick of commercials.

Did you get that TV executives! SICK of them!

I'm a bit spoiled to Netflix and I am pretty sure I can no longer follow a weekly show because I would probably forget most of what happened the week before and be like "HUH?" especially with the complexities of this show.

The American Horror Story series are not only wonderfully written with outrageously developed characters who are superbly portrayed by amazing talent...the cinematography is spot on! It is so visually appealing (or unappealing) that I find it very difficult to decorate for visual "happenings" taking place. In fact, I had to turn OFF the TV so I could blog. I don't want to miss a frame!

But is is the appropriate source of entertainment one should indulge in while decorating the house for Christmas?

Probably not!

But, I just love it!

So, KUDOS to my favorite ladies: Kathy Bages, Jessica Lang, and Angela Bassett! You did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life.


I'd hate to offend theses lovely ladies by saying they are perfect for these roles but Damn, guurrrllzzz! you are all so incredibly skilled at your "craft" (just trying to be punny) and I am really enjoying this series.
