Bollywood here I come?

So I checked out New World Notes today and saw Hamlet's article on myheritage.com. You can go to the site and do a "Celebrity Face recognition" with a picture of your avatar. Hamlet linked to a couple of people who had tried it out and the results are interesting.

I had to of course try it out myself, it's fun! Apparently my avatar resembles a few actresses but the top match was an Indian actress named Aishwarya Rai who is a huge star in many countries and an important leading lady in Bollywood films. You learn something new every day!


She's also been called the most beautiful woman in the world...not bad eh? I'm sure my avatar is extremely flattered. It was also cool to learn about the type of movies so popular in India and how it's beginning to catch on in America. Go and try it with your av! :D

While registaring i had to scroll down to 1979..I had to scroll DOWN. this means i am getting old XD

Ok, I got Nicholas Gonzalez, Tom Cruise, and some little blonde girl. I guess I know what my children with Tom Cruise would look like, before the Scientologists steal them.

Apparently, I most resemble funk musician Rick James, but if you flip the gender filter to female, I'm similar to supermodel Tyra Banks. I'd never before realized how much Tyra looks like an emaciated version of Rick James.
