She’s my sister no matter who she looks like!

So that is Claire Collins (my darling sister) and Molly Ringwald (no relation). It doesn’t matter how many pictures we compare or how much Ms Ringwald spends on professional photographers, make-up and hair stylists – still she looks more like my sister than I do.
No one ever says I look like anyone – including siblings. Do you look like someone famous?
To make matters funnier – Molly Ringwald also went by the name Claire once. So I bring you a great movie with essence de-Claire.
CLAIRE
(to Bender)
What’s your name?
BENDER
What’s yours?
CLAIRE
Claire…
BENDER
Ka-Laire?
CLAIRE
Claire…it’s a family name!
BENDER
Nooo…It’s a fat girl’s name!
CLAIRE
Well thank you…
BENDER
You’re welcome…
CLAIRE
I’m not fat!
BENDER
Well not at present but I could see
you really pushing maximum density!
You see, I’m not sure if you know
this…but there are two kinds of
fat people. There’s fat people that
were born to be fat, and then there’s
fat people that were once thin but
they became fat…so when you look
at them you can sorta see that thin
person inside! You see, you’re
gonna get married, you’re gonna
squeeze out a few puppies and then,
uh…
He mimes becoming fat, making noises.
Claire gives him the finger.
BENDER
Oh…obscene finger gestures from
such a pristine girl!
CLAIRE
(resentfully)
I’m not that pristine!

You kinda look like me. People figure out we are sisters when we’re together.
We have the same eyes and similar hair (when I don’t dye it)
You know what’s odd, you never see Claire and Ms. Ringwald in the same room. Except that one time, in detention. But never again after that.
But one way or another, no matter how this plays out, we can be sure of one thing: Claire is not that pristine. And somewhat resentful. Also, she throws a mean finger.
So, actually, we can be sure of several things. Which is better than most days.
Completely off subject, but when I see Bender I always think of this guy:
Is it sad that I think of that guy too. I would say great minds but I’m a little icked out. (not icked isn’t a real word but as an author I reserve all rights to make up words as I see fit.)
I’m cracking up. That was the first Bender I thought of too and then I was trying to figure out who Claire was in the Futurama cartoons.
And you forgot that I swing a mean scotch bottle too, CLT
Dialogue from “The Breakfast Club.” I’ve seen Ringwold not too long ago in something–I think it was “Desperate Housewives,” but not sure. She got more plump.
I think you look great regardless of who else you might resemble. The sunglasses give you a bohemian air.
I thought she was in that American Teen show. I don’t get to watch much TV these days. lol.
My eyes are sensitive to the sun, during that photo session I kept squinting so we tried the glasses, but I ended up with something completely different for my book cover – and a different color hair.
yeah, I think that’s it. Family channel or Hallmark or something . . .
I only watch under duress or to see M*A*S*H
So who’s the lass on your blog piccy then Claire?
Ducks and runs very very fast.
Claire looks very nice in her blog picture. (yeah I’m kissing up. I’m sure I’ll need her to do something for me soon)
Did someone say “ducks?” I likes ducks.
Not approved for the young – just the immature.
But I remind you I didn’t start the Duck conversation. Nope not me.
I think, in the ten seconds it took for me to fix my link, you read and thought I was calling you immature. Nope I was referring to myself. 😀
I’ve been told I look like a young Herbert Hoover.
Your sister may look like Molly Ringwald but I’ve always thought of her as more of an “Ally Sheedy” type personality.
Don, I’m sending the boys over to visit you. Is comparing me to Ally Sheedy a compliment? The boys want to know.
I like to think so.
I’ll be sending the boys over to mow your yard, weed the flower beds, repair the crack in the corner of the driveway, and paint the shutters, Sir.
😉
Ally is MUCH hotter than Molly
Dave, Are you saying that my pictures don’t look alike? That’s funny since they’re both me!
I was risking a male comment about how ladies can change their appearance quite markedly with hair style, makeup, pouts (damn where did that come from) etc.
Us bald old wrinkly males make do with poking out tongues out!
PS Don’t go to your blog, I made a slight error, again…
I’ve been a blonde, red-head, raven haired with red stripes, blonde with strawberry stripes, and pretty much everything in between. It’s lots of fun, buy wigs and try it out. Or just paint your head, that would result in some interesting looks.
I think I always look the same. Except first thing in the morning. It’s advisable to not look directly at me then. And where did that pout come from Dave? I can just see you in a wig…
Male wigs, sirrops, hell NO.
Painted head has potential, after I’ve boiled it?
What the hell’s a sirrop? I suggest you not boil your head. You aren’t an easter egg. But painting it would be interesting. Send pictures.
I’d like to suggest a nice Pink with blue leopard spots.
Claire told me I had to come over to your blog and make fun of you. Yes, she did. She said “Friggin Loon get your big fat blooger’s butt over to my sister’s blog, the one that doesn’t look like me or my family, and wreak havoc.
Welcome again friggingloon. Chaos and Havoc are welcome and frequent visitors to me.
Ah I bet you say that to all the loons 🙂 . Hey Bearman, I can see your bald spot from here !!!!!
Some respect Claire. Your sister doesn’t even list your first on her blog roll. And Suzette I don’t want to hear anything about it does it alphabetically.
Yeah, alphabetical that’s it. Now shh before you get me in trouble 😉
CLT is always on top of me. For that matter, She isn’t at the top of mine either. Actually, Bear, you are near the top and she’s down at the bottom.
I love that duck orgasm thing. I first downloaded it as a .wav probably near 10 years ago. The audio file I had was much longer and being just audio I didn’t get to look at Donald while listening. Thanks, Suzette
That’s funny.
