    I've been told by numerous people that I look like Julianne Moore, most recently a week ago and the first time when about 10 years ago. Not sure whether to be offended or flattered because while she is gorgeous i'm a good 25 years younger than her :/.

    I think it's more my colouring though, fair skinned, red hair and green eyes... I think people just don't look that closely for other features.

    Actually just remembered a story about a guy I know, he is the bop off Richard Gere, it's really unbelievable- you would swear blind it's him!

    He was in a bar with his parents who were visiting from the States and this woman was constantly looking at him, freaking him out. She touched his shoulder when going to the bathroom, then on her way back whispered in his ear that she'd just *ahem* given herself a seeing to thinking about him. CREEPY!!!

    I had the head cropped when I was young because I was a swimmer and it just made life easier but let it grow during my twenties, in my thirties I decided to be rid of it again and I'm back to hearing Sinead references ever since . Funnily enough I dyed it blonde for a year and got Delores O Riordan references, my regular took to playing old cranberries albums for the duration as a sort of goodwill gesture.

    Strangely, I live within a couple of hundred yards from where she lived as a teen, drink in the pubs where she played her first gig and generally feel like the environment here is tainted with Sinead O Connor odour and have a terrible fear that someday someone is going to knock on my door and say "pharmaton I AM your father".


    Did you happen to see both Sinead O' Connor and Dolores O' Riordan on the Late Late Show last night? (What do you mean you have better things to be doing with your Friday nights? :pac:). Sinead O' Connor looks like a frail and wizened 80 year old man, whereas Dolores O' Riordan, well, she still looks like Dolores O' Riordan!

    didn't see, knew O Connor was on alright, goin to have to check the replay now. Tbh to me they have what I would describe as typical Irish female features, you can see it across the board, in the likes of Enya, Delores and Sinead. There's definitely a common ancestry running through them.

    I got Keanu Reeves and Ed Norton when head was shaved but I think it's mainly an impression that is left on someone, not necessarily purely aesthetic similarities.
