LOOK-ALIKES ON THE COVERS

        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.

          Here’s a MOD “close encounter,” Miriam Quiambao on the left and Raquel Mababangloob on the right. Sans the eye shadow, the analogy is uncanny.

          The magazine Prime Editions (later Prime Weekly Edition) had a lot of cover girls that can be considered doppelgangers. Take a look at the succeeding covers and wonder.
