Ten-Word Tuesday. The Red Carpet Edition

This past Sunday, Bossy had the opportunity to hang out with the many celebrities attending the Red Carpet event at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre! You know, if you don’t count the fact that it wasn’t Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre! It was a bar in Philadelphia. And if you don’t count that it wasn’t a Red Carpet event! It was one of Bossy’s brother’s gigs.

But it did take place on Oscar Sunday! And sister mercy you would not believe the number of celebrities in attendance. Shall we?

Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy about someone in your life who is a lookalike for someone else?

And be sure to check back later today for the doppelgangliest of comments on the web!

If you missed last week’s Ten-Word Challenge, click here to read about all of the television shows out there worthy of your obsession.

    I always think there is something Bette Davisish in pictures of my mother as a young woman.

    My childhood best friend’s father looked a lot like Tennessee Ernie Ford, including the pencil mustache. At least once while he was away we held up an album cover and told her he was home. Cracked our seven year old selves up.
