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.

Picture Trivia



          In 2006, Samuel L(eroy) Jackson starred in the film Snakes on a Plane as FBI agent Neville Flynn. Do you know how many snakes were used in the film? Around 450 different species of snakes, including a 22-foot Burmese python that the production crew nicknamed “Kitty.” Most of the snakes you’ll see in the film, however, were added digitally.

          It was also in 2006 when Jackson starred in the film Black Snake Moan. It has, however, nothing to do with snakes, and the title of the film was only taken from the song of American blues singer and guitarist “Blind” Lemon Jefferson in 1927. In this film, Jackson played the role of Lazarus, a former blues musician who was deserted by his wife. The story revolves around Lazarus helping a young girl, Rae (Christina Ricci), long being abused by her parents.
