I always flinch a little when someone says, "Hey, you look just like...." It hasn't always been the response for which I'm looking. Shockingly, not Elle McPhereson! I developed a bit of a chin complex when in Jr. High I was told I look like this handsome gentleman...
Felt a little better about being compared to this well endowed beauty from the "Little Shop of Horrors"
And again when I was told I look like the McDonalds moon! (years of therapy followed)
I don't mean to brag or make anyone feel bad, but I personally think I more closely resemble a child star with a famous leading role. You be the judge, but I think I'm a dead ringer.
Top that!!! Who wouldn't want to look like good ole Charlie Bucket? What famous person have you been told that you look like?

LOL!! It's Charlie in feminine form!! I do NOT think you look like Jay Leno, btw. Kids can be so mean. I looked like the blond girl in Goonies (and no, not the hot cheerleader one) all through junior high. I had the same feathered hair and bad makeup. Nice.
I don't think I look like anyone but that is dang funny! If it makes you feel any better today I had one of the players wifes come,who is beautiful I was thinking she looks just like my sister.
You are hilarious! And you've got the golden ticket!!
I have been compared to Cleopatra (walk like an egyptian) when I had those bangs. and Miss lippy from Billy madison because of my bangs too. Funny!
Oh the complexes that we had as kids sure makes for funny adults, right.
I don't think you look like any of them, either. You're way cuter than any of them, but I have to admit that I think Jay Leno is a good looking guy!
I've been told I look like Reese Witherspoon- I'm pretty sure that with some intense plastic surgery and a few lost pounds that could be true... so far we both have Ava's and blonde hair- if that counts as similarities!
I love seeing those pics of you as a kid! I really hope we can get together next weekend! Sorry we've played phone tag. Pencil me in- maybe Friday??? Tell Jennie and Kennon, too. :)
Oh, whatever! You do not look like creepy Charlie from the chocolate factory.
There is this random, unknown actress who was in 'Fried Green Tomatoes' that strangers have approached me and said I look like, but that's all I've got. Maybe my look is just too original??? Hahaha.
I used to get told I looked like random stars all the time... and then the weight gain of marriage and kids! BLAST! They really cramp our sytles, huh? I would say the one I think I look the most like would be Claire Danes. (Not so much in that COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME that we watched with Kenon that night) but her from a few years ago... :)
Here is who Whitney REALLY looks like...Brooke White from American Idol. Not Charlie Bucket!!! :) I don't look like anyone. When I was little one of my sister's boyfriends did tell me that my feet looked like skis...but I don't think that counts.
Hmmmmm. Well my nickname in high school was Betty Boop, but I don't think it was because I wore her skimpy little outfits and a garter. Mostly the big eyes and curly hair.
When I was in Jr. High and playing basketball in YW, my "friends" used to tease me and tell me I looked like the Campbell's Soup Girl (the one with bright red cheeks!), so it gave me a complex and I hated playing sports from that point on. :-( Girls are so mean!
I have been compared to Val Kilmer, Ben Browder and Will Ferrell. The last of those three by two 7th grade students who still insistently refer to me as "Mr. Will Ferrell" whenever they see me in the hall.
Hi Whitney! This is Candy from Portland, hope you remember me. I only lived there a year, but I remember you were one of the very first people to come talk to me at church.
Anyway, that is hilarious about Charlie Bucket! Those pictures are great. I don't know who I look like. In high school people used to chant, "Uma, Uma, Uma" as I ran...for Uma Thurman. ALso I've gotten a Helen Hunt, and the mom from Home ALone. Weird.
My brothers teased me all of the time about my chin. I will show you what they would do...sound effects included. BTW I need you email address, my blog is going private and I would like to send you and invite. Check my blog for my email address.
That's creepy. You don't look like Charlie Bucket! Poor Charlie. I laughed really hard when I read this. You have the best sense of humor and I think you're gorgeous!
Sorry, I didn't realize I was signed in under my husband's name. That last comment was me-Michelle
I personally like Kennon's suggestion that you look like Brooke White. She can be gorgeous, cute, and pretty for all different occasions...there is a difference.
I loved the childhood pictures too. you crack me up.
When I was in middle school I used to get teased about my large boobs (which is no longer the case thank goodness) and my big nose. I had a huge complex. This kid told me I looked like Steve Martin in Roxanne. That's gotta make you feel good :) In those days I dreamed of nose jobs. Glad to retain my unique "Davis family" nose.
I can't think of anyone that comes close to looking as beautiful as you. You are truly an original. OH, and Brook White would look like you if she were PRETTIER!!
I've been compared to Laura Ingalls when younger, Winona Ryder when she wasn't a klepto, and Jennifer Connelly, but I'm pretty sure the 15 year-old friend of my brother (at the time) was pretty hard up.
haha... that is hysterical! you are way too beautiful to be compared to anyone. I have received comparisons to Ashanti and Rhiana! Go figure! I guess I will take what I can get!!!
