One of my D in L's friends complimented me on my new hairdo and said it made me look younger ?
I was admiring my 'Bob' when I realised it looked familiar and was the same as some well known personality. I then realised it was just like Grayson Perry ?
I was once told I looked like Judy Dench. She s much older but we do have the same lower face, chin line etc. I took it as a compliment! And the tattoo on her wrist is the motto I use to live by, and I ve said I want it tattooed on my wrist but she beat me to it. Ironical as its " CARPE DIEM! " ( seine the day)
Afterwards.......? Actually my lovely hairdresser works miracles on my fine White silver hair that I'm growing into a short bob. He's the first one for years who a) listens to what I want and b) doesn't insist on 'thinning the bulk' (it's fine and not at all thick)
PS sorry for high-jacking, I don't apparently resemble anyone of note or notoriety! ?
Thank you Loopy for making me laugh! I had to stop reading the thread about songs that make Gransnetters cry because the stories were making me cry. Then I saw your photo and it made me chuckle - just what I needed
Grandmattie! I too was a Francoise Hardy look alike in my teens. Probably also because I was tall and had long blonde hair. Sadly even then I lacked those amazing cheekbones.
I've been told more than once that I look like Angela Pleasence. She has played some pretty awful looking characters in the course of her career but she doesn't look terrible all the time so I take heart from that ?
I was stopped by a man at Victoria Station in London who said he was from an agency called 'lookers' he told me that I looked like Dr Shipman and would I be interested in going for an audition. I declined his "kind" offer.
As a young nurse I was forever being told by the patients /relatives that I looked and sounded just like Pam Ayers the poet who was very popular at that time .evey day I some one would say do you know who you remind me off Nurse!!!!
I was once told I looked like Diana Rigg (many years ago). I am not like her now, however. I was also told I looked like Ruby (the scullery girl) from Upstairs, Downstairs. On a bad day I guess??
I used to be compared with the late Anne Kirkbride (Deidre off Coronation Street) mainly because we had same hairstyle & I wore large sun-glasses. Not sure who I look like now - not asking DD as I don't think I'll like the answer
When I was young I used to be nicknamed Nana Mouskouri when I had the long hair and dark framed big specs. I suspect I now look more like Olive from On the Buses.
