Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
Clive Webb
Edward Scissorhands
Neo
Dracula
Willy Wonka (an evil version anyway)

Good goth, you're not going to believe this 'un Josh, but someone once saw me wearing a sweater with black and white stripes and a top hat, said I looked like the cat in the hat 'gone bad'. I thought this was a thread about JtHM

Got also:
Edward Scissorhands
the guy from the crow (Eric, I know, but that's what they said)
The Guy from Matrix (Again same law, and just because I wore SHADES)
...g'and (cockney) some other stuff, I think someone said I looked like Christopher Lee in Dracula...

I've gotten :

Edward Scissorhands
Nik Fiend (some guy at the club)
Danzig
Robert Smith
Nike Cave (again, not a passerby, but ya know)

And I think I got Rozz Williams once too, not by a passerby and Johnny Slut by a few nice users here on Gnet. Passers by don't really tell me I look like anyone. They just make faces or shout stuff or laugh.

The ones I get the most often are:

"You look like a crazy person"
"You look like a freak" (my mother)
"You look like one of those crazy murderer people"

It would seem my critics aren't very eloquent about thier feelings on my appearance.

"You look like Billy Ray Cyrus."

"You look like that guy from that one heavy metal band."

"Are you a musician?"

"You look just like a friend of mine".

I also get this one;
"Are you a hair stylist?"

Hhhmmm...

Why do they ask you if you are a hair stylist? Is your hair magically delicous?

Oh, Kontan I think you resemble Jonathon Rhys-Meyers. You're facial features are sharp like his.

I get Neo a lot, and I've been asked "Do you want to join the army when you're old enough?"


Also, someone said to me "I thought only women had blue hair..." which made no sense xD

God, Vako, I was thinking about how you slightly resembles Billy Ray with that cool mullet. But if you ask me, your mullet beats his For the Win.

It's long and I take good care of it. That might be why they ask. Other than that I'm not sure. I don't dress like one or anything.

Ehehe, cute topic.

Well, let's see. Once when I went to my local ALDI to get some stuff for my mom, this guy told me I looked like Angelina Jolie (!?). Ok, yeah, maybe I have the super fleshy lips, but that's about it. I didn't even know what to say, I just turned around and smiled. Also, I've been told many, many times that I look like Natalie Portman. On one occasion, I was even told I looked like Asia Argento.

Seriously, there are some weird people roaming the streets these days.

I’ve only been compared to a celebrity once and it was one of the most flattering compliments I’ve ever received. Someone said I resembled Brendan Frazier (It still makes me feel warm thinking about it).

Other than that nobody has ever really compared me to other celebrities

- my mom
- my great-great- grandmother's aunt (apparently am her evil twin)
- Emily, the Corpse Bride (uh - huh?!)
- Maria Callas (an opera diva)
- this one soprano who sang in "Hänsel und Gretel" in the Opera in Copenhagen (or was it Oslo? Can't remember)
- a guy (when I'm cross- dressing, anyway)
- a cat

It's that whole Jose Eber hair thing. I just pulled up his pic, you do look a little bit like him.

I have been told I look like country singer KT Oslen. Her look during the 80's was opera gloves, fans and men's suit jackets.

Also kd lang. What I wouldn't give for her voice.

Must be the men's wear.
