Josh Groban Has My Face

First off, I just want you all to know that I look like Josh Groban in a pretty big way.

I’ve known this for a while now. A friend in high school pointed it out to me, and a few weeks later my dad rushed into my room to tell me that a man with my face was singing the national anthem on television – it was Groban. Since he’s grown in popularity over the years, it’s been a frequent occurrence for someone to look at me with a puzzled expression, grin, and say, “You know who you look--” and before they can even finish, I’ll interrupt with “Josh Groban?” This seems to tickle everyone, except for my dentist who responded, “No, actually. I was going to say Jennifer Garner.”

What? No.

When someone is convinced that they look just like a celebrity when they completely don’t, it can be a little sad. I learned this during Doppelgänger Week a few years ago on Facebook when everyone replaced their profile photos with their celebrity lookalikes. This was the picture I used:

That week, every girl thought she was Anne Hathaway and every guy thought he was Paul Rudd. Oh, bless. Maybe Pauly Shore at best, man. Maybe.

On the flip side, when someone points out your likeness to someone else, it can be hard to see for yourself. After all, as your mother told you, you are a special snowflake made out of angel dust. How could anyone even come close to matching your features?

That’s typically how I feel. But guys, straight up, when I look at pictures of Josh Groban, I can’t help but laugh. It’s uncanny. I mean, there are differences, sure, the most obvious being his lack of breasts, but other than that I totally see it. It’s a resemblance with which I am honestly pleased. He’s a handsome man. I like to think I’m a handsome woman. Plus, he’s hilarious on Twitter.

The only bummer is I have not figured out a way to capitalize on this likeness. I’m still waiting for the Craigslist ad that says, “Looking for female Josh Groban impersonator for gender-bending bat mitzvah! $$$” So far, nothing. Keep your ear to the ground, folks.

By the way, if you’re not seeing the resemblance, no worries. I’m totally prepared to not look like a man. It’s all the same to me. Anyway, who is YOUR celebrity doppelgänger?

Oh wait, before I leave, I wanted to bring just a couple of things to your attention:

1. This dog can talk.

2. My husband, a teacher who works at a Title I school here in Brooklyn, is raising funds for a robotics program! This would make a huge impact in the lives of these students, kids who come from lower-income families who could really benefit from this engaging, unique math/science educational opportunity. Go check out his Donors Choose page to learn more about this program, and THIS WEEK ONLY, Disney will match any donation up to $100 if you use the promo code "DISNEY" at checkout. That means, if you give $10, $20 goes towards funding this awesome project. Seriously, that’s amazing. Donate now!

3. My giveaway of a Jules & Sparkle Necklace is still live! If you haven’t already entered, go get after it!

4. I still have some sponsor spots available, and this month, you can use the promo code “SWEETDEAL” to get 50% off! That’s just $7.50 to either write a guest post or have a Sponsor Spotlight written about you by me! Plus, your banner will hang out on my sidebar for the month. Sweet deal, indeed. Head on over to my Advertise Page to learn more.

Okay, now I’m really leaving. Have a lovely weekend! Here’s hoping you run into your celebrity doppelgänger and they invite you on their yacht or something!
