They Say "Everyone has a Double"...Do You???


It's oft said, that everyone has a double. Someone who, despite no known genetic or biological relation, bears a striking resemblance.  I am occasionally told that I remind people of Sandra Bullock, and I will take that with a smile, every time (and wish it were so).  The other day I went to my annual physical.  As I was heading upstairs, Donnie, the gentlemen above, (who me thinks is a dead ringer, for the actor Don Cheadle), asked me if I was here to visit my sister Camille.

"Only if Camille, is slim, beautiful and wrinkle free" I replied.

"Seriously, you must be Camille's sister.                                                 
"Nope.  I'm Loren's sister"

"I know you are teasing me"...as someone he knew passed by he called out, "Whose sister is this"?

"Camille's", she replied over her shoulder.

"See"!  What did I tell ya???

Curiosity now of course had the best of me..."C'mon Donnie.  "Let's go meet my twin".  We headed downstairs and walked straight through a physician's waiting room to the back offices.  I met Camille, who was thoroughly confused, stylish and a great sport.  I could definitely see the resemblance myself and I think she could too.  Donnie was pleased as punch with himself.  She kindly agreed to a photo, so I could Blog about this Divadventure.  I think it's uncanny that we both struck the same pose!  What do you think???



I think Camille actually wins the Sandra prize.  I forgot to ask her if people have told her that before...Hopefully, she will see this and let me know...we could both do worse!

  1. You're so lucky that you've met your double! And I *totally do* see a resemblance. I would believe you if you said you two were sisters.

    When I lived in another city, I was constantly told by people that I had a double but I never did get to meet her. I wanted to so bad because even people who knew me fairly well would sometimes say they saw me in here or there, when I hadn't been there at all. So again... you're lucky you met yours!

  2. Too bad you never got to meet her Jenn! I couldn't resist meeting Camille and I was happy she was such a good sport. She looks more like me than my own sister!

    Thanks for sharing!

  5. To my dear daughter Debbi,

    Inasmuch as you weighed over 8lbs at birth, I can assure you that you have a look-alike but not a twin!
    Love.
    Mom
