Celebrity Skin

I was looking through a friend's blog this morning (thanks Andrea) when I came across the coolest new use of technology. What you basically do is take a photo of a face and it uses some advanced facial recognition software of some sort to show you the celebrities you most resemble.

I thought it would be fun to take the photos of the boys in our family and find out who we really look like. I left the girls out for now because they will want to select some particular photos in which they look "good" or something like that. Trust me, I know the ground upon which I tread.

Anyhow, the results were stunning to say the least.

We'll start with me:

Uncanny!

They definately nailed me with that Dean Cain thing! I can't tell you how many times in a week I'll be walking through a supermaket or down the street and I'll here the whispers "there goes Dean Cain". I just take it in stride and try not to let it go to my head. The way I see it, he is a lucky man to look like me.

As far as Reagan goes, it is amazing how this thing can pick up on a persons character and personality traits from just a photo.

The other two dudes are alright too I guess but from this point forward I think of myself as a Dean Cain/Ronald Reagan hybrid. Republican Superman. SWEET!

Thank goodness I didn't have my glasses on or I might find myself hosting The Price is Right.



That brings us to my eldest boy Josh:
I've got to be honest, I'm a little disturbed at how female he is skewing here. (he's no Dean Cain for sure) They seem be to giving a pretty heavy tip-of-the-hat to the eyebrows and great complexion and well, really I'm at a loss for words. Marcia Cross 78%!?

I think that Josh and I will go fishing this weekend or maybe head on back to the gun range. Thank goodness the Superbowl is this week. He shall be forced to watch the whole thing, especially the commercials. Maybe we can finish off the the whole weekend with a tattoo. Yeah, that should do the trick.

At least Jesse Metcalfe made the list too. I guess that I can take some solace in that.

I thought maybe a fake moustache or beard might help him while we wait for the real thing to grow in but...

... I think ultimately that is the look we are trying to avoid. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Last but not least there is our dear sweet Benjamin:
Okay! I can live with this list. True we do have Rosanne Barr but I think we can agree that she looks more like a man than a woman anyhow. Would you mess with her? Burt Lancaster is manly to the point of being disturbingly so.

Hey, David Beckham isn't bad at all! Manly, athlete, nice! From what I know of Ben he would be a HUGE fan of Victoria Beckham if you catch my drift.

This was a lot of fun. Stay tuned for the VanderHoeven girls edition.
