Doppelganger! Who is Your Imaginary Twin?

Further establishing my reputation as a person who has no real life, I'd like to ask Livingstontalk readers the ultimate Facebookian question: Have you been told you look like a celebrity?

Yes, the latest little thing to emerge on Facebook is the creation of a doppelganger (there's supposed to be an umlaut--two little German dots--over the "a," but neither I nor my imaginary twin know how to do that using this software). You post a photo of a celebrity you've been told you resemble, as your profile. Or, of course, you could post a photo of a celebrity you wish you resembled, if this were a better world.

People I wish I looked like? Cybill Shepherd. Glenn Close. Diane Sawyer. All late middle-aged blondes who have retained their sexy, intelligent looks and spirited personalities.

People I've actually been told I resemble? Ellen Degeneres, mostly. I take that as a compliment; I think Degeneres is cute and incredibly funny, an upgrade on my actual self. I also used to be compared to Hillary Clinton, but that was back in her hairband days--nobody says that any more. Perhaps I'm not serious enough to resemble the Secretary of State. Perhaps it's that I never wear pantsuits.

There's a dark underside to the German concept of a doppelganger, however--a folk belief that everyone has a shadow self that accompanies them everywhere. When you see your own doppelganger, it can be a sign of impending doom, or bad fortune. Kind of like an evil twin, actually.
