Did any of you ever see the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, It Takes Two?
For the most part, I could not stand MK and Ashley Olsen movies. I mean, hello! All the plots were exactly the same: girls go to foreign country, girls meet cute boys with hot accents, girls save foreign country from peril, girls and cute boys with hot accents get together and live happily ever after.
Luckily, It Takes Two was different. Can’t say it was my favorite movie, but I have seen it quite a few times. One of the movie’s biggest intrigues for me was this concept it introduced: the possibility of identical strangers. For months, I kept an eye out for “the other Katie,” convinced she was around somewhere.
Well, on Saturday, I found my twin:
Yes, yes, I know we’re not really identical. But hey, neither are Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I swear we did not plan to both wear jeans, pink shirts, and black vests. It was twin sense at work. Plus, we share a mutual love of Artisana coconut butter… but maybe that’s not twin sense; that’s just common sense!
She even brought me some Raw Carrot Cake Bites!
Seriously, sweetest girl ever! We met at Whole Foods, and we talked non-stop about everything from blogging to food to life in general. I almost missed meeting this amazing girl, though! It was pure luck (or maybe fate) that our paths crossed:
I emailed Kelsey, because she’d won one of my giveaways, and she replied, “Ya know, I’m actually going to Dallas in a few weeks, to visit friends. If you want to hold on to the bars til then, you could give them to me in person.” As someone who envies all Californians and New Yorkers, with your routine blogger meet ups, I jumped at the chance for a blogger meet-up of my own. Our meeting was so much fun (albeit way, way to short!). She is absolutely one of the sweetest girls one could ever hope to meet. (Oops, I already said that! Ah, but it’s worth repeating, because it is so true!) Oh, and the Raw Carrot Cake Bites she made me? They were even better than the ones I make!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone else?
Perhaps someone famous? And have you ever wanted to be a twin?
Ever since I got my tattoo half sleeve on my arm, with the woman on it..people think or ask me if it’s me…NO! It’s a Victoria’s Secret model…but if I am confused for a VS Model, that wouldnt be a bad thing LOL.
Just today I posted about being recognized. I got recognized while out yesterday b/c of my blog..and also it happens to me while in the groc store, at the gym, etc…so I am not mistaken for anyone but people recognize me. STrange but true.
what a fun meetup!!!!!!
🙂
years ago a rockstar photog took a side profile photo of shirley manson of me and sent it to me and it looked eerily like me but head on we look nothing alike. but hey, i’ll take it.
let’s see, i’m from the ‘punky brewster’, ‘silver spoons’, and ‘square pegs’ generation so haven’t been too familiar with the olsen twins except for their broody little pouts in every magazine – ironic how two child actors sell kids clothes for a company that is known for child labor violations in their clothing lines, hmmm.
although i will say i’m going to a foreign country to see a hot guy with a hot accent next month and wouldn’t mind a little happily ever after… 🙂
Oooo that sounds mucho exciting!!
AWWW! Sounds like so much fun! 😀
I totally bonded with a girl over Justin’s Hazelnut Chocolate butter in the aisle at Whole Foods. They had none, we both looked for it everywhere – and settled on chocolate almond when our search proved futile.
Apparently there is a set of twins at my school that look EXACTLY LIKE ME. I’ve never met them or even seen them but I have friends who have had classes with them who mistake them for me, and I have been mistaken for them. They’re TWINS – so there are three of me!!
Three of you? Not possible. That would be entirely too much sweetness in the world.
P.S. I will totally hook you up with some choc-haz if you can’t find it. Shoot me an email.
I don’t get told that I look like anyone famous but I’m always getting “Are you related to so and so? ” Or “are you so and so’s cousin, mother, sister….?”
I must have one of those faces. 🙂
One time me and my cousin wore the exact same color/style babydoll shirt, jeans, white tank, and bracelet without even seeing or talking to each other before hand. It was pretty funny 😛
I’ve been told I have a twin running around campus, as well as a sailor in VA, a gas station attendant in FL, and a girl back in TN. Guess 4’s just too much to handle and they had to split us up 😉 haha!
Who took the photo of you and your “twin”?
Her mom
I’ve been told that I look like Scarlett Johanson, but I don’t really believe that. If only!
I got Nicole Kidman almost weekly, sometimes daily…..until she went blonde, lost her freckles and botoxed all expression away.
Aw yay, glad you had such a great meetup with Kelsey! I knew she’d be a sweetheart just from the way she writes 🙂
I may or may not own all the MK & A movies. And books. And dolls. 😛
Dolls? Hehe well, I owned the Babysitters Club dolls, so I can’t judge! 😉
