Reality Bites.

in Personal Style, bloggy friends know best, funny, shes lost it, the badger colony

Thank you so much to my darling Summer for her post. I L-O-V-E-D it and I think it was exactly what so many of us needed.

I live in lala-land, and today I want to live there figuratively as well. So indulge me, will you? I always keep it real, I always pour my heart and soul out all over my blog, and I just can’t today.

Do you ever wish life was like a movie? With expert editing, a happy ending and a fierce soundtrack? Oh, and a WARDROBE DEPARTMENT?

Who would play you in that movie? I assaulted some of my closest friends whom you may know with this question this evening. Like literally attacked them. They played along. Note-I didn’t include anyone I couldn’t ask…I know this is a touchy question, so Sum and Klaw, etc you got lucky! ALSO NOTE-I do not wish that myself or any of these loves are anyone other than themselves. We are cooler anyway lol. But life is a little too realistic today, so we’re playing.

Cut me some slack, yo and play along.
I’ll go first.
If I had a dollar for every time I was likened to Liv Tyler, I’d have umm…twenty dollars. hahaha…I think it’s the lips.
Brooke is prettier than Carrie Underwood. This is a fact people. But Carrie almost looks as good as her in this picture.

Kristin’s hubby has his very own Kate Beckinsale!

Eva Mendes would kill it as Mayra, don’t you think? Almost as hot as my badger.

Hanako66’s hubby had to help us out. “The chick from Fast and Furious Tokyo drift” umm off to Google, then I texted “OHHH YOU DO!” See? It’s fun to be my friend. Hanako >Nathalie Kellie kthxbai

Istvan IS Victoria Beckham personified. Get into it.

The Beauty File would be played by Emily Blunt. When I interrupted her studying tonight to ask-this is what she said-“That’s a really effed up question.” I die.

Cafe Fashionista..Michelle Trachtenberg may be up to the challenge. Almost as chic…almost.

Keira, you have some gorg shoes to fill if you want to do Lindsay of Shrimp Salad Circus justice.

Jennifer Garner, are you ready for your role as Kathleen…Just a Small Town Girl?

SO…WHO WOULD PLAY YOU?? Come on…it’s fun. Thank you for helping me out tonight ladies and gents. Love, Liv. Oops, I mean….

I can't stop laughing at this post. I absolutely love it. A fab distraction from the dreadful studying woes…and if I actually were Emily Blount I am positive my life would be a ton more interesting with the British accent. Maybe I'll start practicing…fake accent, Madonna style. Because THAT'S not weird….

2 Diana December 14, 2009 at 9:40 pm

You have some good looking friends!!

Umm…Ugly Betty would play me, lol!

3 Vanessa December 14, 2009 at 9:40 pm

LOVE the post!!! sooooo much fun!!!!! I want to play, but I don't look like anybody hahaha…and I get how you pass for Liv but I don't think she is quite sassy enough to be you ;)

4 Shrimp Salad Circus December 14, 2009 at 9:44 pm

BeautyFile – I'll start brushing up on my Faux-Brit with you – lol

Liz – I can definitely see you as Liv, so you can make that 21 bucks!

I used to get Mandy Moore all the time, which I really never understood. I like getting to choose my own alter-ego!

5 Kristin December 14, 2009 at 9:46 pm

OH heck yeah. You DO have some hot arse buds! Look out Kate I'm gonna steal your roles. Ah ha ha. And Beauty File cracks my arse up! Notice how I just answered right away cuz I'm cool like that? Ah ha ha

6 Midtown Girl December 14, 2009 at 9:46 pm

Diana – you are uber beautiful so SHUSH IT!

Let's see – I have no idea who would play me, but I will say these ladies are some fierce competition!! All are gorgeous, both Inside & Out!!

7 Erika December 14, 2009 at 9:50 pm

OHMIGOSH I AM IN LOVE!!! This is the best post ever to appear on a blog – and I am so not saying that just because I'm a part of it! Love! Love!! Love!

And I'm totally with Vanessa…Liv is nowhere near Liz in the sass department – you take her down! But nothing beats Istvan as Victoria B…I. DIE!! :)

8 bananas. December 14, 2009 at 10:02 pm

ew what's with eva's hair in that pic?! so not mayra but i'll take it if it comes with that body…sigh. i wish…

9 Shop N' Chomp December 14, 2009 at 10:18 pm

Hee hee…what a fun post! Yep, totally Liv for you and Kate for Kristin! Sadly, with a lack of Asians in Hollywood I don't have much to work with. Hollywood, get with it!!!!

10 Leah December 14, 2009 at 10:26 pm

You have some hot and gorgeous friends Liz… and I thought I was your friend too. Hahaha! I know, I know, you can't find a Hollywood star who looks like me. I am so unique. Waaaaahhhhhhh!

11 Rasha (andthisiswhatshesaid) December 14, 2009 at 10:29 pm

Cute I love this.. and they kinda do fit every post…..

People say I look like Brittneyyyyy spears, so I guess her? Bahh idk. I have a unique look.

13 Mari December 14, 2009 at 10:38 pm

I would be that girl off Grey's Anatomy… Sara Ramirez and add like 168373 tatooes =)

14 yours truly dear December 14, 2009 at 10:40 pm

15 Karls December 14, 2009 at 10:44 pm

Well.. people often say I look like Sally from Home and Away… who, I hear you ask? Yeah… that's right!

16 mommara December 14, 2009 at 10:46 pm

I love it! You guys are HOT! I don't have a clue who would play me… I do love Julia Roberts or Once someone told me I looked like Kelly from American Idol. :)

17 betz December 14, 2009 at 10:47 pm

i love this post liv… oh.. liz! =)

http://herarmoire.blogspot.com

18 kathleen December 14, 2009 at 10:51 pm

This post is soo much fun. I want to do something like it… You know who will play you! (If she can get away from all those kids!) ;) Love you.

Thank goodness you didn't write Lady Gaga for me… or Mooriah. Or Jessie "I'm so excited!" Spano.

Thanks for inluding me! Xoxo

19 k. December 14, 2009 at 10:54 pm

Oh man, if only Carrie Underwood had Oofa hair! ;) And you are way more gorgeous than Liv! I would kill to look like either one of you ;)

This reflects NOTHING on looks, but I would pick Drew Barrymore for myself.. LOVE her!

20 missy. December 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

sophia bush or sandra bullock. those two are my look a likes. loove it.

21 Vanessa December 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Such a good post! Mischa Barton, or maybe Anna Wintour, would play me.

22 Treacle December 14, 2009 at 11:01 pm

Hmmmm…I've never thought of this. Nona Gaye, maybe?

23 L.A. Daze December 14, 2009 at 11:02 pm

What a fun post!

I don't know who i'd play…some Asian actress perhaps?

24 Istvan December 14, 2009 at 11:25 pm

LoL! I'm in love with you. but I mean seriously, I pretty much am Victoria Beckham, same birthday, same bone structure, same obsessive need to be tan, tall, and tiny.
VB and Liv need to do a movie about out lifes fo real real.
… Maybe I'll have to post my Halloween pics from when I was VB…

25 Chic 'n Cheap Living December 14, 2009 at 11:31 pm

You are too cute Ms. Lizzy Marie!

Hmm I guess I will be played by the sexy Zhang ziyi – kinda innocent, kinda kick butt, kinda sexy. Though i'm actually a totally doof IRL.

Greetings from Bahrain (delayed to Manila)!

26 DesBisoux December 15, 2009 at 1:35 am

oh Liv…i mean Liz! great post! i was thinking about that the other day….She doesn't look like me but i'd like Hilary Duff to play me!don't ask why!

27 xox D. December 15, 2009 at 3:04 am

wow this post made my day! so good, sometimes I also wish my life would be a movie, as everythings turns to the best at the end and I am always so impatient :-)
I started to think about who could play me and I would like to have scarlett johansson I think even if she does'nt look like me but I have no idea who has some affinity to me. But if I could chose who I were for a day I would pick Olivia Palermo, I don't like her but her wardrobe!

28 liferehab December 15, 2009 at 3:19 am

lol, great post! Hmm… looks wise, I get compared to Sandra Bullock a lot (not sure if that's a compliment or not since I'm 21 and she's like 40.) Personality wise, I think the chick that plays Samantha from SATC is so me. Or Meredith Grey of course. And just to indulge my fantasies my bf would be played by Robert Pattinson, although he looks just like VInce Vaughn!

29 Rhianne December 15, 2009 at 3:20 am

I love this post :) fantastic!

30 Meghan December 15, 2009 at 3:26 am

Someone once told me I look like Felicity Huffman. Umm…

31 Seyma December 15, 2009 at 4:44 am

aawwwhh, Liz i read your comment and it really got me darling.. it's awesome to know that YOU, my lady, YOU see me as YOUR friend.. i'm flattered i must say because i'd never think you'd say that literally.. well, because i think "who the hell am i to be their (your, Mayra's,Melissa's,Brooke's etc etc) like "real" friends?? you know, we just blog and talk "little" right?? we have never spoken in person or got into long conversations.. but still hearing that?? made me feel superb. so thank ou very much for putting it that way Liz..

i can't tell ya how i much i love you indeed..

love.xoxoxoxo

btw: it's a really difficult question but i guess i'd love to play Kristen Stewart (cause that bitch is really beautiful and he acts with Rpattzz.. what else do i nedd right :) ?) or Ellen Page.. i fell in love with her performance in AN AMERICAN CRIME so she is awesome..

xx

32 LENORENEVERMORE December 15, 2009 at 4:59 am

Fun post Liz!
I want Minnie Mouse~
Rats!

33 Brown Girl December 15, 2009 at 5:04 am

I'd want to play Kim Kardashian. Not for the brains but for the looks. le sigh. She's so gorgeous. Or maybe Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls…she's sex-hey!!! ;)

Love you hooker, mean it!

34 Marian December 15, 2009 at 5:07 am

Oh my goodness. This may be one of my most favorite-est post. Its always such a hard questions, but how can you not like thinking about it.

I'm thinking maybe Reese. She's blonde and tiny. I think there is potential there

35 Laura Trevey December 15, 2009 at 5:15 am

LOVE this!!! We all need to pretend in dream world ~~~ ah… hmmmm… I would love for Rachel McAdams to play my life ~~ love her!!

36 carrie1 December 15, 2009 at 5:27 am

I would have Drew Barrymore play me. I've gotten an oddly amount of people who said I looked like her.

I'll take it though. =)

37 Amber December 15, 2009 at 6:09 am

So fun! I've been told I look like Holly Hunter, Michelle Rodriguez and Reese Witherspoon… because obviously Michelle and Reese look just alike, right?! Uh no. Of the three I'd pick Reese, since I have a serious girl crush on her and we both have large foreheads and pointy chins haha!

38 orsoifeel December 15, 2009 at 6:10 am

Liz – this is a great post. Liv is stunning… i can see it totally.

I would pick Kate Winslet…even though I am not British, she can pull off a mean american accent. xoxo

39 orsoifeel December 15, 2009 at 6:10 am

Liz – this is a great post. Liv is stunning… i can see it totally.

I would pick Kate Winslet…even though I am not British, she can pull off a mean american accent. xoxo

40 SG December 15, 2009 at 6:19 am

First of all I miss you too!

Second of all I love this post, what a fun idea. I can totally see the resemblances you list.

For me I've been compared over the years to everyone from Avril Lavigne (yuck) to Neve Campbell and now Kristian is convinced I look like Olivia Wilde. I don't see it but I'll take it!

If I had to pick myself hmmm maybe Evangeline Lilly from Lost. She's petite, brunette, has green eyes and a killer body just like me. hahaha.

41 ~KS December 15, 2009 at 6:23 am

Fun fun fun… la la pretend land seems like a nice place to be right now. So… in my movie, I would have a family of my own. For sure. I would be done with school (no more homework) and would live in a nice little neighborhood. But I would have one outrageous thing and it would be my Porsche Cayenne (I want one so very badly). And who would play me…. I can never pick between these two ladies. Idina Menzel (just because it would be fun to be hella hot and be able to sing, neither of which I really pull off in real life) OR Isla Fisher because I've always wanted to be a redhead…. oh and she's gorgeous and funny and sweet. Killer combo.

42 learnxtoxfly December 15, 2009 at 6:33 am

LOve love this post!

I've been told I look like Jennifer Love Hewitt and the chick from the first and 4th Fast and Furious, Michelle Rodriguez.

43 brooke December 15, 2009 at 6:34 am

oh love!!!! hahahaha…would LOVE to be a'ms.underwood…she is so so gorg and uh…way cuter than this offa girl! i am thinking though that liv and carrie wouldn't hold a candle to the fabulousness that is briz!!!! seriously "uh.you couldn't…you could not see us!!!" hahahahaha….love us!

44 Melissa Blake December 15, 2009 at 7:06 am

My favorite post of the year! Seriously!

Hmmm, who would play me? I've been watching Ally McBeal lately, and she's A LOT like me, so she'd be perfect! xoxo

45 Danielle December 15, 2009 at 7:32 am

I'd have to say my first choice with Chandra Wilson from Grey's Anatomy. She's got that same round cheeked look as me. lol

46 Kellie December 15, 2009 at 7:39 am

Damn your friends are smoking! ;) I've been compared to two famous people. I don't see the resemblance all that much but…
1. Jennifer Anniston (don't see it at all except maybe my hair on good days)
2. Amy Poehler (I have been told I look like her by too many people to count)
Ahhh… I don't know.

47 Hanako66 December 15, 2009 at 8:23 am

istvan has me peeing in my pants….love. it. i wish that i looked like her…hotness! this is so funny, i love it and love to see you giggly girl.

48 Summer December 15, 2009 at 8:24 am

I get Sarah Michelle Gellar or Rosanna Arquette.

Ya? No?

49 ema.leigh December 15, 2009 at 8:33 am

this is so totally funny… and YES… I totally see Liv Tyler in you… errr, you in her. Whatevs.

I need to think about this one. What a fun game.

And BROOKE is totally hotter than Carrie, agreed.

50 Children of the 90s December 15, 2009 at 8:39 am

Haha, I love this post! The only person people ever say I look like is Ashlee Simpson, but based on her performance in Melrose Place I'm not sure I'd trust her to carry my movie.

51 The Novelista Barista December 15, 2009 at 8:42 am

id totally want anne hathaway to play me!!!!!!

i love ur blog btw :)

52 Kirsten December 15, 2009 at 8:43 am

I guess I would say Reese because if I had a dollar for everytime I hear I look like her well I might have another pair of shoes in my closet.

53 Micaela December 15, 2009 at 9:39 am

oh this was SOOO CUTE and fun!!! i loveeeed it. Liv, totally!!!! i see it. she's GORGEOUS!!!!

hmm… i don't look like anyone famous or have ever been said that i resembled anyone… wait i take it back. once, an old sweet lady i was interviewing when i worked as a reporter said i could pass as Rachel Ray. I think it had more to do with my personality :)

my boyfriend calls me the real life Vanessa Hudg. but i don't see it ;)

if i could be anyone famous could i PLEASE PLEASE be Penelope Cruz??? she's my gf all the way.

54 Nahl December 15, 2009 at 9:48 am

Soooooo cute! =)

55 "Julie" December 15, 2009 at 9:54 am

I randomly get Kristen Kreuk from Smallville…not sure how I feel about that!

56 Kris December 15, 2009 at 10:03 am

Ha! This was fun to read. I don't think I look like anybody. In high school I was blonde so people said Christina Aguilera. Now as a brunette? NO CLUE!

57 The Haute-Shopper December 15, 2009 at 10:12 am

I really hope you're feeling better… nothing sucks like winter depression. I can totally see Liv playing you and the others are very accurate (although I think Mayra is way hotter than Eva). I have no idea who would play me in a movie. Not sure which celebrity looks like me, but if I had a choice regardless of appearance, I'd just ask Zooey Dechanel, cos she's wacky and cynical (and I wish I had her blue eyes…).

58 Melanie's Randomness December 15, 2009 at 10:49 am

I'm living a bit of a movie right now lol Thanks for your comments dear. hmmm to play me in a movie?? I'd have to go with Brittany Murphy. People used to call me Tyi all the time in high school from Clueless. Yeah she's totally me. hehe.

Liv Tyler should totally play you. Rachel Zoe is her stylist & Omg it would be Bananas!! =)

59 Alianna December 15, 2009 at 10:55 am

Ooh this is good. Well, more often than not I'm told I look like Sophia Loren, you know when she was 25. Then again I hear Keira Knightley ALL the time too. This is the perfect stupid day pick me up. Thanks!

60 lisa December 15, 2009 at 11:12 am

Whoa your casting choices are spot-on! I'm going to have to ask you for help on this one, Liz–I don't know who would play me, honestly! The only comments I get are those from Asian and non-Asian peeps mistaking me for Korean (I'm Chinese).

61 nifer December 15, 2009 at 11:17 am

I think Natalie Portman could play a good me… She's so diverse and intelligent, and of course simply, naturally beautiful! LOL

62 Closet Cravings December 15, 2009 at 11:33 am

Super duper cute post. I love Keira and Emily Blunt. GOR-geous. Not sure who would play me. I'll have to give it some thought. =)

http://www.closetcravings.com

63 Martinis or Diaper Genies? December 15, 2009 at 11:34 am

I get Eva Longoria a LOT.
I'm italian NOT hispanic. Pretty much the same thing I guess…

64 Tights Lover December 15, 2009 at 11:35 am

This is a great post. I love all the celebs-as-bloggers you came up with!

65 Nicole Leigh December 15, 2009 at 11:49 am

I get Kirsten Dunst a lot. which I sometimes take offense to since she looks tore up a lot. One time I got Cameron Diaz. weird and I wish.

66 Amanda December 15, 2009 at 11:56 am

I used to get Julia Stiles a lot. I did this on my blog awhile back, and I think I picked Ginnifer Goodwin. My hair is lighter than hers, but I love her.d

67 Margarita December 15, 2009 at 12:27 pm

OMG Liv Tyler is me too! I mean, so many people, my bf mainly, say she looks like me. I truly don't see it. But whatevs.

Very hot lineup. Kate Beckinsale and Emily Blunt would be close runner-ups for me too. Or Katherine Heigl if she was brunette. Just cus she's funny.

I've given you an award on my blog!

68 TheBeautyFile December 15, 2009 at 12:28 pm

Yo bitch! I gave this post a shout out on TBF…just so we're clear what's what.

xoxo

69 Clorivak December 15, 2009 at 12:40 pm

This is a fun post! They ALL are here, I am such a mother ass lurker most days though. i'm not a creepoid,really. ;)

I have been told I look like Liv Tyler too!!…as well as Redhead chick from Garbage and Bif Naked. They are all Hot ladies and I don't really see myself as that, but let them think it…hehehe.

70 janettaylor December 15, 2009 at 1:54 pm

I really enjoy this post! :-D

Xx

71 Jaime December 15, 2009 at 2:23 pm

People used to say I looked like Reese Witherspoon …when I was blonde. But now as a brunette/redhead, I don't know!

72 Melissa December 15, 2009 at 3:20 pm

This post is amazing! You're so a Liv, you both are so beautiful!

I wish life was like a movie, at least I'd know where I'm going. People tell me I look like Wednesday from the Adams family, it's sort of a nick name of mine. But people have also told me that I resemble Krysten Ritter.

I don't know…

73 Leah December 15, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Liz, quick update… I have an anonymous follower/admirer in my blog? Hahaha! Did I just read that he said I look like Megan Fox? He is blind. I look a lot better than Megan. Hahahahaha!

74 The Socialite December 15, 2009 at 5:23 pm

haha – very cute! Who the heck would play me?! Oh gosh. No clue. :/

75 Meghan December 15, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Ok, you are AMAZING at this – your Nicole Kidman comparison MADE.MY.DAY.

76 Hopeless Chest December 15, 2009 at 5:25 pm
77 Chessa! December 15, 2009 at 7:51 pm

A great question to ponder over cosmos…love it!

I don't know…I think maybe either Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz. I'm not choosing randomly…that's why people tell me. Can you believe I've played this game before?! There was A LOT of vodka involved. ha!

78 wonderfelle December 15, 2009 at 8:09 pm

love. this. my ex said i looked like Ruthie from the real world but i never saw it… i think the only celeb who comes close is vanessa hudgens cause we're both part filipina and have thick wavy hair (http://bit.ly/2DWym0 vs http://bit.ly/79ktOm) and we're both dating guys named zac :)

79 Ela December 15, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Not even lying. I have a post like this in my drafts!!! I had Fergie as a poor man's Liz! SG as Lake Bell, and weird, I had K Law as Kate Beckinsale, etc.

I loved your list and your friends are all hot :)

I've gotten Zoe Saldana – cause of the forehead I think but if we're gonna go Asian – Kristen Kreuk? I'm not as hot but I'm not about to cast some dog face :)

xoxo

80 eQ December 15, 2009 at 10:04 pm

EASY! Megan Fox, hands down would play me! I don't care that she looks nothing like me. In my head I look like that =)

Maybe Jessica Alba…

81 Mara December 15, 2009 at 10:22 pm

haha love this! I'll play along and say Natalie Portman would play me..people always say we look alike although I don't really see it

82 WendyB December 15, 2009 at 10:59 pm

People say I look like Marisa Tomei. Do I? I can't tell!

83 Dustjacket Attic December 16, 2009 at 12:17 am

Oh totally loved this post, how do you come up with this. So funny reading the comments too.

Ha ha will have to get back to you on the question, gotta go ask someone who I remind them of :o

xxx

84 Diane December 16, 2009 at 12:35 am

Wow! wonderful blog you have! I just arrived here from Kristin's blog. I like the post you did about dressing each other up :D

I will be following you from now on !

Anyway, to answer your question, I'd like to be played by Coco Rocha ;)

kiss!

visit my blog: dianefreedom.blogspot.com

85 siovhan December 16, 2009 at 12:54 am

i love this. i would totally pick sarah chalke. i love that crazy lady. and YOU!

86 heisschic December 16, 2009 at 9:00 am

hahaha love this!

i asked the bf, and his immediate reaction was evan rachel wood… reasoning? "she looks like your innocent girl next door… but she dated Marilyn Manson so you know she's insane."

i just wish i could pull off red hair like she does… and those legs. AGH. kill me.

87 Miss Caitlin S. December 16, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Ohmygosh, I LOVE this post and I love even more that I'm familiar with most of the girls you're talking about!!!

http://candyflosspersie.blogspot.com/

88 Heather Taylor December 16, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Definitely Winona Ryder or Zooey Deschanel. I get a lot of people who say I look like the latter!

89 issa December 16, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Awww what a fun blog post!! loved all the comparisons.. simply perfect!

90 RW @ TrueBeauty December 16, 2009 at 2:23 pm

FUN! All of these ladies are gorgeous! I never get consistent thoughts on this topic. I've had people say Jennifer Garner, Rachel Bilson, and Eva Mendes…who frankly look nothing alike to me! I think it's the hair :)

91 OceanDreams December 16, 2009 at 3:48 pm

Oh this is just WAY too much fun, just job pairing everyone up with these lovely actresses! Hmmm, I would love to have {hate to say it} but either Jessica Simpson play me or Faith Hill, she is just lovely.

92 alixrose December 16, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Haha I love this. I asked my friends awhile ago on live journal who they could see play me in my life movie.. I got Eva Longoria and Selma Hayek – Petite hispanic ladies for the win!

Yeah for Liv Tyler, I love her and am kinda jealous that people liken you too her. LOL! ;)

93 Tiffany December 16, 2009 at 10:50 pm

love the celeb comparisons, they are perfect! so fun.

mine would be um… Kelly Choi. lol!

94 .:*aMbAr*:. December 18, 2009 at 11:59 pm

JAJAJAJAJAJA I loooooved this post!!!!!!!!!!!!

95 Ashley December 20, 2009 at 8:47 pm

I'm sure Kristen Stewart would play me. LOL
