Chav Doppelgangers

The author wearing his Chav burberry hat. Thanks to Alex for the hat.

According to this slick-looking website, to which I sent the picture above, I look like a mixture of: Rosanna Arquette, Hrithik Roshan, Ralph Nader, Dave Mustaine, Pierce Brosnan, Hilary Swank, Doris Lessing, Neve Campbell, Nick Cave, and Arthur Rimbaud. Who’d have thought?

Of course, I tried a different photo, which proved conclusively that I am the bastard child of the moronic Dan Quayle and the magnificent Meryl Streep. So, who do I really look like? Answers in the comments if you can think of anyone.

During my link harvesting I discovered that Nick Cave was born and raised in the town of Warracknabeal, where a far-flung branch of my family owns a restaurant.

    Yeah. Alex bought it for me for my birthday. I hope for a joke, although maybe it’s what she really thinks of me. ;-)

    Funniest thing is, Burberry is as yet untainted in California. You still see the occasional rich sorority girl tripping around town with a burberry handbag dangling from her arm.

    I’m in love…

    …with that site.

    There’s surely not better way to cheer a girl up than by telling her she is 50-71% Kate Winslet, Sophia Loren, Jennifer Lopez, Grace Kelly and Angelina Jolie…!

    Having said that it also matched me to Billy Bob Thornton, Hilary Clinton and Chiang Kai Shek.

    Hmmm.

    Hi Alex! Blimey that is a good list of folk to resemble. And spot on, of course… ;-)

    And to all you lot: hi, I’m in India at the moment, so there! Unfortunately it’s for work, so I’ve not done a whole lot of sightseeing, but hey. It’s going pretty good, and I’ll tell you all about it when I get back. Take care y’all!

    Of course, the ironic thing with Alex’s results is that she actually knows all those people. :)

    Apparently, Meg looks like Charlize Theron, Buffy, and the bird off of 24.

    I got Sean Connery, Gerald Ford and… Archbishop Desmond Tutu…

    Well…I am a match for David Coulthard – Formula 1 racer from UK – and Colin Farrell!!! My only question is this: if my face is similar to Colin’s, is something else?

    It’s the elbows, Mr. Fizz. You have Farrell’s elbows. Or maybe his knees.
