    Looking like women in your family, did it happen to you also?

    One of the things that really touched me the first time I dressed was finding I looked really really like some women from my family.

    In particular, my aunt and her daughter, they have a very similar hair to the wig I'm using, and I had never noticed how I looked like them. But enter the wig, make-up, certain angles and all of a sudden I realized how I had the same nose, eyes, face shape as them... which makes all the sense, but I had never realized before because I had never thought about it or seen me with make-up on.

    I felt very emotional and also sad that I can't just go and show them. They would really freak out.

    Has something similar happened to you, girls?

    Love.

    Diana

    Oh yeah
    3 out of 5 sisters for me. The resemblance is Extremely strong.
    So much as to just switch our faces between the 4 of us.

    Diana, I understand every time I look at my pics that are really good I see a bit of my sister in myself. So it makes sense

    Yep, and it's amazing at the tiniest little subtle details that
    leaves many of us stuck looking like 'men' forever.

    It's mesmerizing sometimes....

    At my mother's funeral eight years ago, I displayed a picture of her taken when she was about 17 years old. One of my co-workers who saw it was convinced it was a picture of me, dressed up. On looking more closely I had to agree that the resemblance was remarkable. I hadn't noticed before how similar we looked, because I was only comparing myself to my older Mom, not as she had looked fifty or sixty years earlier.

    Yes... it's a very special feeling I wish some day I can go and show them. It would mean a lot. I know I will, eventually.

    By the way, I absolutely love that photo, your style, how you wear those glasses, the hair, everything! You are absolutely beautiful.

    Sometimes my Mom and others my sister. It is very confusing because I don't know if I should feel guilty or happy, most times it is happy.

    I never thought I looked like my sister, but depending on the wig and the makeup, I look exactly like her.

    My parents divorced when I was young. Not so much on my mother's side, but on my father's side I see a resemblance to my half sisters and if I was younger with some of my nieces.

    I've had the same thing. I did a french maid outfit for Halloween and my wife's sister took one look at me and said "Oh my god you look just like your mother". Other people who saw me or some pic's said the same, or a cross between my mom and my sister. Funny when my sister saw me she said "wow I wish my legs looked that good". She is five years older than me though.

    I look very much like my mom and sisters.
    Now I can see what the oldest girl (me) looks like.

    Yep, I have a VERY strong likeness of my Aunt. Just as I remember her at my age. But, she's a real girl.

    I look a lot like my mother most times when I look at myself in the mirror while dressed.
    Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I.

    Yes I do!

    I have inherited many facial and physical features from my mother - there are specific similarities with teeth, nose, eye shape... she had good legs too, apparently... The one significant difference physically is that she was a dead black brunette, dad was blonde, and I ended up in between...

    That's the reason I avoid very dark hair now - too many similarities...

    Anyway - thank goodness I inherited my mother's looks and my father's brains - if it was the other way around I doubt I'd be sitting here today for all sorts of reasons... (bless them both )

    Thanks Diana - interesting perspective...

    Hi Diana,
    So your aunt and HER (oops !) daughter are stunning too ! You're doing very well with your English, you have a real mixed bag of English speakers here from around the World !
    They do say that the daughter looks like the father and the son looks like the mother, in my family it's probably true in three generations.

    Ooops Teresa, my mind betrayed me in a funny way, being this place of all... but it only has to do with my Spanish mind which doesn't differentiate genders in such words...

    In my case, by looking at my own face in a new light with all the making up and setting myself free to pose and photograph myself in ways I had never done, I found that the upper part of my face, up and including the nose is very similar to that of women from my mum's part of the family, like my aunt and cousin.

    And then the lower part which includes my mouth, jaw, chin is very prominent, square, manly I'd say. Just like my father's. That's the part I wish it was different :P

    I think if you play around with makeup and see if strong or pastel lipstick changes the emphasis on you lower face, also see if chokers or neck wear make a difference.

    Yes when younger I looked like my mother, so no DNA tests were needed.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.
