Is that all they see?
Being an overweight, dark-haired femail I get mistaken for any other overweight dark haired femail, particularly Dawn French (though not for many years) even though I look nothing like them. Its like nobody can see past that to anything else.
I was also reviewed (did a spot at a comedy night) in the local paper as 'like Jo Brand with a guitar, only funnier'. I look nothing like her and, alas, am not nearly as funny, although I probably sing better.
Finally, the place I get my hair cut puts up pictures of the newly sheared, shaved, plaited or coloured customers. I went in one day and there was a picture of me with deadlocks - except I have never had dreadlocks! It was freaky - I couldn't stop staring at the picture. I still wonder if I'll bump into her one day.
