doppelgänger

I've been so busy in the past couple of days I hadn't a chance to post another photo. Instead I've been studying for an upcoming geology exam (do you know the difference between noncomformity, discomfority and uncomformity as applied in relative dating?) and thinking about the pagan influences in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Very interesting, I'm sure.

Since Naoko was talking about something she was told she resembled, I think I'll do the same:








Pattie Boyd is the former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. She was a model in the 60s when George Harrison met her. Eric Clapton's song "Layla" was about his unrequited love for her (it was written while she was still married to George Harrison). I think Eric Clapton actually went out with her sister for a while just because she looked similar to Pattie. Anyway, to be honest I don't want to see the resemblance because I find her teeth to be even uglier than my own. But I've been told this by multiple people throughout my life. Maybe I might have been flattered if George was my favorite Beatle, however I'm afraid he is not.

I don't think I have any better pictures of her, but if you Google her you can decide for yourself.

  2. She looks very different in every picture! I see that people see the resemblance. She reminds me of this Japanese pop star Ria Dizon (she's not Japanese though. She is this ex-stripper American, half filipino and half french or something like that). Her music is awful but people love her because she is mixed thing and cute.
