There is a strong family resemblance among my relatives, but i have always thought that i don't actually look much like any of them.
(I know what you're thinking here.... Stop sniggering!)
Over the last year i have let my hair grow and it's currently at an indeterminate length so i usually just pin it back or hide it under a hat/bandana. Yesterday evening i tried a different style, a bit more androgynous, rather like my cartoon avatar. (altho my hair is much thinner)
I experienced a real omg moment when i looked at the mirror and noticed for the first time a distinct facial resemblance to one of my female relatives.
Bear in mind that i don't use any makeup, this was purely the result of framing my face with a different hairdo.
I can understand how some people can be unrecognisable with wig & makeup etc., but can your appearance really be changed that dramatically simply with a different hairstyle, or have i just been incredibly unobservant for years?
Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
