Fun with Open Salon avatars and separated at birth celebs

Rate: 22 Flag

 

Back in April of 2009 I posted a Joan Walsh separated at birth post using a photo taken at the 1st Annual OS Anniversary held in San Francisco. Since that time I have featured Bernie Madoff and George Washington, too, as seen further below.

It was Spy Magazine that first inspired me to look at the separated at birth phenomena and I posted a story about the magazine one year and a day ago.

 

(OSers Sandra Stephens, Cathy GF, and Dorelvis seen pictured with Joan. As I recall, Lonnie Lazar took the photo.)

As an informal open call feel free to present your own separated at birth posts.

 

 

Footnote: I must admit that the Nicolas Cage story of this week made me think of what fun I've had with the separated at birth posts.

Various Artists had mentioned in his comment about Elvis Costello and my photos from yesteryear. Here's what I came up with, plus an bonus of moi and Carlos Santana!

You forgot yourself circa 1980 and Elvis Costello!
Thanks very much, VA! I didn't think about that prior to your nice comment and I'll have to track down a shot of Elvis in which he has a similar pose to one of my photos.
If one more person puts my photo up beside Brad Pitt, I'll scream! (for joy)
Scanner, likewise if I get paired up with Bill Gates one more time I might just walk into Microsoft HQ and say I need to make a slight cash withdrawal! Thanks for the nice comment!
I think Scanner looks more like Jeff Bridges than Brad Pitt.
Scanner does look like Jeff Bridges! Do more do more! There are a lot of dopplegangers here.
I was just over at Scarlett's thinking about her avatar photo, 'this world is better with more sexy smirking'... cool, designanator!
Alfred E Newman and Bobby Jindal -- it's startling.
Oh, and as for me -- Neil Young
Perfect call on Mary Stanik as That Girl! :)
This is so cool, D. R
I can't resist? I'd rather resist. . .
Troth sent me a PM I love so . . .
I saved Troth's email. He's who?
`
I recall Kerry Lauerman loves?
Kerry befriended Troth once.
I feel sad if Troth is sad. huh?
Troth sent me private P.M.'s
I saved that email. Oh my O..
`
It's just a memory. Thanks.
It's so gusty and windy, huh.
I love wild `Nature's Gust.
`
OMGGGGGGGGGG


I now worship your every move hahahahah
Thank you!!!
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGG
BTW Scarlet does look very much like her.. I have met her in person.
You have a really good eye for this. The resemblances are uncanny. R
designanator: Ha, thank You (I think :) ... but the only thing I have in common with Nicole Kidman is that I'd love to hang out at the French caberet, Moulin Rouge with artiste Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Thanks everyone for your great comments!

Larry, he does look a heck of a lot like Jeff Bridges now that you mention it!

Zuma, it's true that I have just scratched the surface here--I could spend weeks going through all of the avatars and finding their twins!

Catch-22, that's a great description...sexy smirking!

Tom, you've got it...you and Neil Young! Your comment made me remember another post, Alfred and Rick Astley...very much like twins!

MM, I was happy I found a photo of Marlo Thomas with the same angle, etc.

Thoth, happy to see that you're having fun with this, too!

Art, I've got one for Kerry, but it's on TV...will have to find a way to photograph it.

Linda, I was amazed how similar Madonna's photo was to yours! I'm happy you were online this afternoon so you saw the post not long after it went up.

Trudge, without image search this would have been a tough one to put together...such is the power of the web and tracking down the right photo.

Scarlett, glad you were online to see this! I am figuring you'll want to keep the same avatar for a while!
Fabulous! Thanks for the day brightener!
I've always tried for Clara Bow.

And I have thought many times that Mary Stanik looks like That Girl! (Plus, I think Linda is way cooler than Madonna.)
What fun! I'm going to go looking for one for me.

I thought Tom Cordle and Neil Young were the same guy!
Great Post designanator! But this is child's play - Once a guy at a party said I looked like Walter Matthau! That was some party! R
I've been told a few dozen times I look like Helen Hunt in real life. I see the resemblance, but I don't think I look that much like her. However, I will totally take Kate Winslet if anyone is offering. Anyone?

The Nick Cage vampire stuff is awesome and somehow appropriate.
Nicely selected designanator. But I thought it had been established that Mary Stanik's doppleganger was Claudine Longet.

@ Oryoki - nothing wrong with Helen Hunt.
Little known fact---I'm the cousin of Garfield!! ~:D
What a cool and delightful idea! The boyfriend is next to me and when he saw this he cracked up and asked me to post one we noticed a few years back, so, you're on!

Thanks for a delightful set of images here!
I'm starting to hear comparisons to Cary Grant, now that he's been decomposing for near 30 years.
This is a great post and I loved seeing the photos!
