Browsing through hundreds, no thousands,
of magazine covers, I found similarities of how the covers were presented, the
angles, the features, and of course the persons on the cover. Yes, the persons
on the covers that seemingly the mirror image of another – look-alikes.
Since my high school days, I ostensibly
developed some kind of mental retentivity. Recalling things that I have seen is
a part of this. Using this ability, I tried collecting the images of magazine
covers with similar features. Believe me, there are many.
Let us start with the “not so
obvious.” When you look at the two successive MOD covers (October and November 2012), you would think Bea Alonzo
and Marian Rivera are sisters. Look at the facial features, especially the eyes
and lips. And I considered these “not so obvious.”

Here are two more MOD cover pages exactly eight months apart, where you might think
of experiencing déjà vu with Angel
Aquino (MOD Filipina, June 19, 1992) and
Josephine Velasquez (MOD, February
19, 1993). As you look on their lips, it’s like two succeeding frames in a
screen shot.

Maybe it’s just my imagination playing
wild. Maybe it’s just a freak combination of photographic effects. Whether one
admit it or not, for this particular comparison, Eula Valdez is a look-alike of
Natassa Kinski. Pouting lips and all.

This one is not new. Many may have
already noticed that Rufa Mae Quinto looks very much like Jessa Zaragoza, but
it’s still fun to behold in this two covers of Sexy Movie Stars Komiks Magazine.

Ah now this is just about nearly
perfect. Maricar Reyes on the cover of Maven
and Arci Muñoz on the cover of Bannawag.
Don’t blink and tell me if they don’t look very much like the same lady.

Wide-brimmed dimpled smiles bring out
the best in cover girls. You can see apparent similarities with the way ladies
give their smiles. Just look at Agot Isidro and Audrey Tan.
