I get the “you look familiar” or “have I seen you somewhere?” comments quite a bit over the past few months. A few years ago, a coworker once told me that I resembled Jeri Ryan (7 of 9, for the Trek Fans) – with the exception that I was not a 5′8″ blonde knockout. I never saw the resemblance at all; and basically took the stance that I probably reminded more people of Janine Garofalo with the voice/wit/stature combo (but definitely not the politics).
Recently, another individual has confirmed that I do share characteristics with the incredible Ms. Ryan. I’m still not totally convinced, but thought I would let the people decide.
So here it is. Seperated at birth?
Note: Just in case you were curious — no, I don’t normally wear that much makeup. Just for Halloween.
Oh, my…
Resistance is futile!
Does this mean we get to call you Seven of Fine?
Tom, that is PRICELESS. I’m keeping the moniker. I swear I never thought I looked anything like the woman. I’ll have to pose up as one of her BORG pictures with the super serious facial expressions….
Ha! Seven of Fine! That’s GREAT!
i just wanted to see my “name” up on your site…but for the record…told you so.
I wish I could say I made it up myself, but I’m just not that clever. It’s from an episode of “Frasier”.
Here’s another one:
Set phasers on “stunning”
Oooh, foxxy lady! Although, I think she divorced her husband because he tried to make her go to a swingers club? So you’re EVEN HOTTER than her, because your husband doesn’t do such things. I think.
Arghh – another set of blue eyes!
She may be a knockout, but you’re striking.
Phasers on stunning… Bill Shatner, is that you?
I had never seen this resemblance — but then again, I usually saw Jeri Ryan in her Star Trek costume, which was . . . distracting. For a couple of reasons. Two. Two reasons.
The eyes do bear some similarity, but your smile is all your own.
Hi. Long time smartass (err, reader), first time poster –
I never noticed it, really. Did you actually go trolling to find a Ryan photo to match your pose? Because the pictures *do* sell it.
(I would also get a chuckle out of the idea of a girl trolling Goggle Images for Jeri Ryan photos, as opposed to a 25-year boy sequestered in Mom’s basement. That’s got throw a site metric off somewhere.)
Dang.
You know, with the Gigdet getup, you could have a promising career as a Nick At Nite personality, should the programming thing not work out.
(I am above making a Trek gag out of this. My snarkiness follows a higher standard.)
Hey Punchy,
You got me. I spent 2 hours looking for photos to build my case. Completely pathetic, I admit.
However, I decided to come clean before my husband got on here and mocked me openly on my own blog.
Turns out there are a *lot* of very interesting photos of the lovely Miss Ryan, just in case you were wondering. What a fox she is!
Boy, I can’t wait to start my own blog, so my friends can mock me openly. No, wait, they do that already. Why the heck do I need a blog then?
Yes, Ms. Ryan is *quite* fetching. I read recently she’s opening a restaurant with her soon-to-be 2nd husband.
(that small clunking sound you might have heard was the sound of thousands of teenage boys hopes, falling.)
(OK. Maybe a few drinking age men’s falling, too.)
(OK. Maybe mine. )
Who needs a blog, when I mock myself?
Well, you might be Jeri Ryan, only less hot, but it only just occurred to me that you may also be Debra Messing, only hotter.
Most notably, you don’t have gi-normous bags under your eyes like she does.
or if that doesn’t work

Debra Messing? Have you seen that woman? She’s like 9 feet tall and weight a third of what I do! Crazy skinny amazon.
You do have a point, I don’t carry the luggage until the eye sockets. Most of the time.
I was a bit nonplussed to see that “Smithy-smith 2″ up there had apparently hijacked my ID. Then I determined that Smithy-Smith 2 is actually my spouse, so I am no longer nonplussed. I am now plussed.
