Fitting post for today I guess, being Mother's day. Anyways, I've been growing out my hair out, and I was dressed and looking in the mirror and realized I look a little like my mom, we have the same kind, and color hair. I don't think it's a bad thing, and my mom is young for a mother. Do any one else think the look a little like their mom?
Yes, somewhat like my mom.
Yes -- several people say I look a lot like my mom.
Oh GOD no!! She was beautiful. She was a cheerleader/majorette. She was almost homecoming queen, and had a great career as a hairdresser - making others beautiful. Sadly, I look like my father.

Now that I am much older, I am not so sure that I might look like my mother! She died when I was only a 7 y/o. But I certainly did look like her when I was younger. I had her face and her hair color! In fact, when my dear late wife used to do my makeup, I looked very much like my mother in her younger years!
Yes - something I've recognized as I've grown older, I always favored her.
Never met my father, and I do take after my mother. With my baby face. xD
Oh yeah! And my sister... Sometimes its scarry.
Yup, I have a few pictures in which even I get confused at first and think it is a picture of my mother as she looks now. More-so if I am tired. Perhaps a bit less now that I've lost some fat in my face, but even a year ago...
It isn't just my imagination: my mother was showing her friend some family pictures, and the friend asked "Who is that sitting there beside you?", pointing to my sister... who was sitting beside me, not my mother.
Yup I look very much like my mom in femm and I look almost exactly like my dad in drab.
No, but I have noticed that with the right wig I look a lot like my sister.
[SIZE=2]When I was younger, people always said I looked like my Mom, then as I got older, some said I looked like my Dad...[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Now that I've been living as a woman, people say I look like my Mom again...only problem is, she's 83....:battingeyelashes:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I'm just grateful that nobody ever said I looked the the mailman or milkman.....lol[/SIZE]
Yes, I guess I do. A friend once saw a picture of my mother when she was aged 16 or so and pretty much insisted that it must be a picture of me, dressed up. Now I can accept that I might look like my mom, but there's no way you can confuse this old lady for 16 anymore! :)

The other day I saw my parents wedding picture and I found that I look like my mom but still have some features of my father in other words I look like one of my sisters:heehee:
I never really thought about it, but yeah. I do look frighteningly similar to how she would've looked if she weren't such a dirty hippy in her early 20's. :p
My Mother would have a fit If I came to her and Said "hey mum,I look like you when am dressed up" LOL
I have some of my mom's facial features, such as her eyes and her lips. Not to brag though, but I've seen photos of my mom when she was in "dating other people" mode and I'll have to say that I put on my makeup better than she did back in her day (^_^;;;)
not really, but when we are out doing things together, people believe we are husband and wife.:doh:
my mom is blessed in looking much younger than she is,
or i look way to old???
but i do look younger in makeup:heehee:
.
Yes. Sometimes I think I see some facial similarity when I look in the mirror but that would be normal. What I do have is my Mom's legs. She had beautiful legs.
I can see my mother in my face sometimes, other times I see my dad, but mostly I favor my mother's side of the family and when my weight is much lower, I look just like mom's brother (my uncle) in my face.
yes i like my mother she is so funny:)
although sometimes annoying:sad:
yep same, i look like my mom!
People say I look more like my Dad which sucks, although I have the nose and eyes of my mother :P
Lots of Love,
Miss Kara
I've had times when looking at my pictures with a certain hairpiece there was an uncanny resemblance to my mom, after some photos once I looked like one of my sisters
No, not even close. I imagine that would be pretty freaky looking like your mum when dressed up.
I remember soon after I told my then fiancé about Karen and had gotten all dolled up and she did my makeup and the first words out of her mouth was
OMG you look just like your mother!
At first I did not know how to take it but my mom was such a beautiful lady, I decided to take it as a compliment.
I miss you Mom! Happy Mothers Day!
Yes too much so. It's scary.
Yes I look exactally like my mom. Have more of her facial features minus the stache ang goatee.
when im all femmed up, i look a lot like my mom, to the point where it scares me. When im not, i look like my father, like im a younger clone.
I look a lot like one of my cousins, she's a bit younger & obviously she's much much prettier, but whenever I see her I can easily see how we're related, if I was as erika that is.
A few months ago getting ready for bed I walked out of the bathroom in my undies and my wife commented that I had the look of my mum, and I definitely had her legs ,unusual to get a compliment , mum had great legs.
:hugs:

Yes, I do look something like my mother. I have one photo where I think that I look almost like her. I have another where I think that I look like one of my nieces. My "ex" often said that I acted and talked like my mother!
I look just a little like my mother, but I'm twice her size so it's all lost as I lumber and stumble along.
I've noticed a few similarities between my mom when she was a teen/twenties to me at my current age (20).
One of them is that my mom and I both have a very similar face, but my jawline is a just a bit more prominent and my forehead looks bigger.
Another is our relative skinniness, despite me being about half a foot taller, and probably having twenty to thirty pounds on her at that age (she has a lot more on me now, but that's mainly due to having surgeries where they cut her stomach after she had me and my sister), I think we have a similar build (if you discount some of the male vs female differences again).
I really think had a been born a woman, I probably would've looked just like her...
Now as for other relatives, no. Me and my sister look nothing alike, we think so, and everyone who's ever seen us thinks so as well, and I don't have any photographic or physical samples to use for checking me against other female relatives.
I have my Mother's cheeks and smile. She also had a little temper when someone would wrong her and I have sometimes have it when someone tries pushing my buttons.

I look like my aunt and my grandmother, but not my mom. They both have exremely large jaws. The only thing I inherited from my paternal side is my Richard Nixon nose.
one thing I inherited from my mom is her tomboy feistyness, which she got from her father, who had a tough exterior but loved to clean, cook & garden.
I have my mom's eyes (not the real ones, lol) and I have her ectomorph/mesomorph body. The rest of my features probably favor my...shoot, what do you call those guys that are always hanging around criticizing you and giving orders?....Dud, duff...oh yeah dad...that guy. lol
A little bit ago my step mom said "you look more like your mom every day". Made my day. If she only knew.
You know, I never could decide. Certainly my mother was much prettier, but do I look "like" her?

In my younger days, everyone thought I was the spitting image of my dad, looks and manners alike. But as I have aged, and put on some weight, it has all changed, taking pictures one day, I noticed a strong resemblance to a picture I had of mom. That got me going through photo albums, comparing her pictures, with pictures of me dressed. Sometime in the last 20 years I have morphed from Dad to Mom, I don't know how, they looked nothing alike.

TXKimberly,
Change your hair style to be like her's and I believe no one could tell the difference. :hugs:
When I put on my make-up and get all dressed from head to foot, I truely resemble my mother (bless her soul), the first time I found it a bit scarey.
Nancy
I don't look anything like my mother when dressed, but I do look like my father's mother in some photos...
Hi Kimberley, I think the answer is "yes"!! I think you do too :)Quote:

In a word NO!!!
I have always looked just like my father. That is until the last several years. Somehow I have taken the turn and look more like dear old Mom. Strange.
Just curious...
Has anyone ever had people tell you that you looked like the guy who lived next door to you when you were a kid? or worse...the mailman? :heehee:
I never thought I did, until the first time I did a complete make over. I took a picture and then veiwed the picture. And OMG I was my mother. It's Bazzare.flickr.com/photos/daviolin
[SIZE="3"]Was alarmed at how similar i look like my mom, in some pics! Her face structure, and long legs! I used to have a medium auburn wig, and wow, i look like my sister in that! Shorter wigs make me look more like.mom. She is 87 with late Alzheimer's. If she knew, i don't think she'd like it much, but, i think she may have known i did it as a teen, because she tried to get me to go to a shrink! Kimberley, that is amazing! Thanks for sharing, Your mom was so pretty! Love your photo, too. In drab, i look like my incarcerated brothers, and mom's brothers, and a bit like my dad.[/SIZE]
