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.

          This is looking at Judy Ann Santos with a different perspective, that is the sensual and the sexy. And when you look at Piel Morena on the Sexy Movie Star cover page, not knowing this blog, you would probably mistake her for Juday.

          When you cut a Coca-cola bottle exactly in half from top to bottom, it’s like you created twins. Priscilla Almeda and Nini Jacinto, well, throw the sliced bottle away. Here you see the same anatomical features, eye brows, eyes, nose, philtrum, lips, chin, neck, breasts and body.

          Here’s a three-way analogy between Dia Diamante, Angeline Quinto and Jessica Sanchez. Again, the facial features give the defining points.

          Julia Montes was still a little girl when Reina Elizabeth Escudero became MOD magazine’s 15th Anniversary cover girl, but their looks bare resemblance.
