Image is everything.

Okay, so, do I really look that much like Allison Janney??? Because the next time somebody tells me I do, I’m going to bite their fucking head off. You know why? Because I think she’s ugly. And if I do in fact look like her, then that means I think I’m ugly, too. Which I don’t, actually. Or didn’t. Not until people started telling me I look like her.

Sadly, I’m thinking I must, because I’ve had numerous people – people I don’t know from Adam, for chrissake – stop me in elevators, on the street, and just yesterday, while I was waiting in the lobby for my interview at Hornall Anderson. And, one of my former bosses used to tell me almost every other day for over a goddamn year that , “God! You look just like that woman on the West Wing!” It was all I could do not to kick her! Except that…well, she was my boss and I wanted to keep my job.

So, this is probably the most narcissistic post I’ve ever written on what’s already a narcissistic medium. But I digress.

It’s not that I mind looking like someone else, but why can’t that someone else be Cate Blanchett? Or Nicole Kidman? Katharine Hepburn, maybe? She was a redhead, too. Hmmmmph. I just think Allison Janney’s face looks like a melting candle and I don’t want any part of it.
