Emulating Your Mother or Someone Else??

[LeotardMan]

I Know a lot of us started CD at a young age, and that made me wonder, if anyone else tried to emulating your Mother or someone else?? I LOVED to emulate my Mother when I was younger.

No, I can't recall ever trying to emulate any particular person and definitely not my mother. I think I'm trying to discover who the person within me is, not be like someone else.

[Tracii G]

Never understood the desire to be someone else.

I know i look a bit like my mother when dolled up, and have her long legs, too. I did not have a good relationship with my dad much, but was there for him his final 6 yrs. i was much closer to my mom, and i wa told by her, that my dad did not want sons, but only daughters!! Bizarre! I now think my CDing has a lot to do with these things. Scares me some.

We all begin our lives as sponges. Later in life we may come to recognize in ourselves those behavioral attributes we picked up quite unconsciously. I hear my mom when I sigh. At times, I hear my fathers voice when I speak. But I envied the clothes and hair styles that girls my age could wear. I suppose I’ve picked a few mannerisms and maybe some clothing preferences from my exes and step daughters too!

When I apply make up and a wig I look like my sister.

[Leslie Mary S]

I am trying to just be me, which is a very hard thing to do because I am not sure who I really am.

[Lygophilia]

I didn't see that point as I've gotten older. I had to obtain my own identity to be a little more sane. Unfortunately, personalities are abstract. Nothing is original under that sun. Humans tend to be more alike than they are different.

Recently I bought my first pair of pumps (on sale). Once I was home they totally reminded me of my mother's (shorter) pumps. Unwearable! But my wife says that some of my skirts remind me of a skirt my mother would wear.

[Bobbi46]

In a nutshell no.

[DIANEF]

Never tried to look like my mother, never even wore her clothes (except for some shoes it was my sisters wardrobe I raided), but I do have one picture where I bear an uncanny likeness to her.

[Tracy Irving]

Neither, as in nobody. Never even thought about it. I just wanted to wear the clothes. Still do.

[Beverley Sims]

No, I just emulated me. :-)

[ronniegirl]

Started wearing mothers panties but never had a conscious desire to be like her...did one day not to long ago look in the mirror after makeup etc, and kind of scared myself how similar I looked to her..but then again I was her son..

She dressed very conservative and had a slim figure and plain looks. :straightface:

But, I HAVE created looks STRIKINGLY like my high school and college girl friends. And, my ex.:battingeyelashes:

Let me add, that was never my intention. But, considering I copy looks from 100's of women? Maybe looking like them was inevitable!:heehee:

I liked wearing my Mom’s things but never did I want to emulate her.

I never saw myself as being the same as my mom, but I have seen some resemblance with my dad's sister. The appearance in the mirror when totally dressed is amazing.

[Jaymees22]

I'm pretty sure I'll never look as good as my mother. Occasionally I think I look like my aunts, my fathers sister or my mothers sister. Which is weird because they looked nothing alike.
Do I emulate them, no I'm my own person but we're all products of our ancestors.

[Tina B.]

As a child I was into my sisters closet any chance I got. But by the time I was 12 she got married and took all her pretty thing with her. , After that I had to make do with what ever I could get my hands on, only thing left was mom's stuff, plain old mom stuff, but at least it was female. When I got to the point that I could buy my own stuff, I like any girl, wanted to find my own identity, I've never been one to look back, and coming of age in the 60's we had our own style. Since then, I try to stay current, but traditional, I hate things going out of style before I get it broke in. And I'm not so into current style to the point that I wear what the latest thing is if i'm not really in love with it. Just want to be the best me I can be, and nobody else.

[Stephanie47]

My mother was a domineering toxic bitch when it came to her kids. No way I would emulate her! My son and daughter had the same opinion too. My wife did nothing to coach them. They arrived at their own conclusions without any help.

[Charlotte7]

Of course we all try to emulate someone, though we won't always know or admit that we're doing it, and that person will change from day to day and the pool from which we choose will change over the years. And the reason I sat this is because of fashion. Yes, we all have our own looks, but that look is affected by the people that we see around us, on tv and in films, in newspapers, magazines, online etc, and also by what's available to buy in the shops.

[Kiwi Primrose]

My mother was my main influence in my early times and a lot of my current wardrobe is based on hers - lingerie, skirts and tops particularly. She also taught me cooking, baking and housework; this has helped me to take over the domestic duties now that my wife ìs incapacitated.

[JaytoJillian]

No, I just emulated me. :-) Bingo!!!!

[Patrica Gil]

Just happen to look like my mother. Just a bit taller.

[Cheryl T]

Yes, when I was very young (I began at about age 5 or 6) I most certainly wished to emulate my mother. She was beautiful, feminine and was everything I could ever hope to be as a woman.
Now that I am older I no longer emulate her although I do take certain cues from her to this day. I am my own person, I dress to make myself happy and not others.
