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.

          They say Sarah Lahbati looks like Angelina Jolie. Take a look at Lahbati’s two magazine covers and compare it to Jolie’s. Judge for yourselves.

and Angelina Jolie on the cover of Premiere (October 2004)

 

          Many are also saying that KC Concepcion looks like Jewel Mische or vice versa. Again, compare their cover pages and ponder.

          Here are two beautiful, sexy and athletically fit ladies with a very similar look and outlook, Sam Pinto and Iya Villania.

          A comparison of exotic beauty and sexiness, Ryza Cenon and Kylie Verzosa.

and Kylie Verzosa on the cover of Mega (June 2017)

          The lips, the nose, the suppliant, inviting eyes, even the eyebrows, quaintly, both ladies, like seeing twins, have the explicit allure that can make any hot-blooded man succumb to desires. Coincidentally, both ladies landed on the covers of 10 Magazine eleven months apart.

and Vanessa Khain on the cover of 10 (October 2005)

          Again, the lips, nose, eyes and brows speak for themselves, plus that perfectly endowed bumpers, and the coincidence happened, this time on the covers of Metro, and similarly eleven months apart.

Picture Trivia

          Ginger Lynn (Allen) is an American actress who appeared both in porno and mainstream films. Do you know how she started in the porno industry? In 1982, while working as a manager in a Musicland Record Store in Redlands, California, she tried to audition as a figure model that paved the way for a Penthouse magazine layout. That started it all. In just four years, Lynn was able to make 69 porno films excluding the re-issues and compilations that made her a “porn legend” at 24 years old.

          In mainstream film, Lynn is part of the cast of the Vice Academy and Wing Commander film series, and she was in a supporting role in Young Guns II (1990).

          Lynn was the first “Vivid Girl” of Vivid Video, a recognition where her foremost rival was Traci Lords.

          The FBI approached and asked Lynn to testify against Traci Lords who appeared in a porno film while she was still a minor. She refused and subsequently was arrested but the Internal Revenue Service (I.R.S.) for tax evasion. After this, she had a pair of lips tattooed on her right ass cheek. This according to her is so that “the I.R.S. can kiss my ass!”
