I've gotten a few different ones (i bring this up becuase for the last 3 weeks almost every day someone says I look like someone and it's funny... My number one people say is Angelina Jolie (which is a heck of a compliment...) the next would be valerie from Family Ties then there was ashley judd my favorite has to be Pamela Anderson, I almost fell over when someone said that....I have brown hair and no where close to her trademark boobs!! haha... so i was curious if other people have gotten told stuff too.

I can't count how many times she would pull up behind me at my favorite(and hers) coffee stand( a very small operation at that) and her boyfriend( I believe it was the one she hit with the tire rim) was absolutely obnoxious! I knew the lady that ran the place pretty well, and she had some pretty good stories to tell of Tanya's drive through visits.

I wish! I think I get it for being tall and thin... who knows. And it might have to do with the going blonde thing. Once my hairdresser told me I looked like Bridget Fonda, but I only got that the one time... I know she is the hooker in the Kiss of the Dragon Jet Li movie, I don't know what else she is in.
