Oh dear God

I am foregoing a post about Christmas in favor of more pressing and depressing matters: I have seen my future, and it ain't pretty. Literally.

I made the mistake of uploading my picture to myheritage.com to see which celebrity I look most like. A friend of mine did it and she got all sorts of beautiful young actresses. I thought it might be good for my ego to know I resemble somebody whose beauty is socially accepted and agreed upon.

I was wrong. Very, very wrong.



Apparently, 78 percent of my face looks like this old hag of a woman named Jeanne Moreau.

First of all, just look at her! Secondly, I never even heard of Jeanne Moreau. I don't even resemble a high-profile celebrity, the kind that gets all the big parts. I look like a supporting actress, or worse, an extra. An extra with yellowing teeth.

So I looked up Ms. Moreau and turns out she's a French actress. (She had a supporting role in Ever After with Drew Barrymore.) I suppose that should be a consoling thought, that I at least look like a French old hag. Somehow it doesn't make me feel any better.

Stupid celebrity look-alike crap.
