An Uncanny Resemblance
I usually don't post about celebrities, but I have to get something off my chest.
Have you ever had something trigger a memory or connection in your hind-brain, but it wouldn't come to the surface? Tonight Amme was watching VH1 and that insufferable show "I Love New York" came on. If you're fortunate enough to have never seen this show, its about this mentally unstable girl (nicknamed 'New York') and her quest for a "man", with different men fighting over her. Think "Jerry Springer" meets "The Bachelorette" and you pretty much have the idea. Anyway, whenever I saw 'New York' on television, something would start nagging me. What was it? I couldn't figure it out. I vaguely thought it was something to do with her resemblance to someone, possibly about her massive, titanic, eyebrows and eyelashes. Yet unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, it would pass as soon as I changed the channel.
Then tonight, out of the clear blue, it hit me. My high school teacher Mr. Willey would call it a "Wow Moment". That instant when something finally clicks into place, like the key piece in a huge puzzle that lets you step back and comprehend the whole picture. Tonight I had my wow moment, and finally realized who "New York looked like:
Thats right, Janice, from "Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem" the Muppet Band. The resemblance goes beyond uncanny to almost eerie, while still maintaining its hilarity. Talk about a person looking like a caricature.
I do hope you fall to the floor in hysterics when you see this shouting "OMG! Thats so true!" Because even as I made these pictures, I was.

She must be trying to look like Janice, cause they look too similar for it to be a coincidence. Super funny.

I was actually searching the web for a picture of this Muppet to show to my boyfriend because from the FIRST time I saw New York I was instantly reminded of this muppet but he doesn’t remember her. It’s so funny that I came upon your post.
