This is the ultimate craziness of a society obsessed with their "genes" and "celebrities." This site allows you to upload a photos and scans it to see which celebrity you look like. Before I did this I already thought I am going to either be recognized as Lucy Liu or Zhang Zi yi. The one they said I looked like the most was ....guess ----Zhang Zi Yi! Surprise! Of course then in step 4 you create your celebrity look alike ciricle - and Lucy Liu resembled me 83%. The surprise was that Brittney Murphy resembles me 78% with Aretha Franklin falling behind at 75%. So does this mean I am the super Pangea Asian? I am trying this out for a fun test - and I am curious how many damn asians they actually have to chose from.
Can some others do this also -even if you are not asian - and can you tag yoru photo "my heritage" AND experiment? I mean how many asian celebrities are there to begin with - and how do they scan for likeness? And what value does a silly experiment have? What does it make someone feel if they look like a certain celebrity? And what's up with this site breaking it down to visual heritage? I need to think about this some more before I can write about it. Test it out and put those tags on! I am so curious to see what other celebrities are in their heritage bank.
1. 1.) Scanning My Face, 2. 2.) Recognizing my Face, 3. 3.) Oh GUess What - i look like Zhang Zi Yi - ( I totally don't!), 4. 4.) ALl the faces that looked like Mine -, 5. my Final Celebrity Heritage Palette

Really fun night last night: Hollywood Bowl. Neko Case. Ryan Adams. Willie Nelson.
Celebrity siting: Ron Jeremy.
I think Steve is still bummed I wouldn't ask El Hedgehog if we could pose with him for a photo. But no no no. Uh-uh.
Very fun concert. Very fun venue. Picnic baskets and bottles of wine. Total coincidence that one of Steve's good friends (and former housemate from Boston) sat right in front of us. I'm going through a pretty big Neko Case phase right now (girl can sing), but c'mon, a chance at seeing Willie? You gotta go. You gotta go.
