Blog Guy, I notice you wrote about a Joe DiMaggio lookalike yesterday.
The lookalike game intrigues me. Can you provide some details, so I can see if I might want to pursue a career at that?
Sure, but who do you look like?
Me? Nobody yet, but I figured I’d take some courses or something.
Well, I think it helps if nature gives you a head start.
Like see, the people in these photos here look like Prince William and his fiancée, Kate Middleton, so they’re in for a great ride, eating free fried chicken at places that comp meals for members of the royal family.
But who hires lookalikes?
Lots of people. Journalists, for starters.
We shot this entire William and Kate lookalike wedding in London yesterday, totally bypassing the hassle of having to go to the real thing. Now we’ve got hundreds of shots ready to go when the big day comes, and we can just stay at home and drink good single malt Scotch!
Damn! I SO want in on that! How do you know so much about the lookalike business, anyway?
I myself have hired a very expensive lookalike, whose photo appears with my blog. This way, nobody knows what I really look like.
But if he’s really a lookalike, don’t you look like that guy?
Oh, crap…

That’s just goofy. Glad to see you put “stupid” as a key word for this one.
KFC: Kate Fancies Chicken!
Come on Lookalike Queen, get that pinky all the way up!
Wills has a second job! London Fried Chicken is now using his image instead of an old colonel to attract the younger market. All the greasy fried chicken he can eat is one of the perks.
BG: if that was the whole fake wedding thingy, does that mean Will and Kate are having their reception at a fast food joint?
Well, both Burger King and Dairy Queen would seem appropriate, no?

BG: More than appropriate and I think you’ve got the line for the day!
Doughnuts with royal icing for all!
Mr B, I know I speak for all the blog-ladies: your look-alike is real cute.
Twenty-seven days until the wedding, and we get lookalikes???
I want more of the REAL Kate!!
But, there’s only one problem with the scheme, boys. You won’t have Kate in her real wedding dress!
Oh, well, I hope these two lookalikes have a wonderful lookalike life together.
BG: Considering how highly ladylala thinks of Lamar, you should consider her remark high praise, indeed.
lady, I’ll second that notion! Do you suppose his look-alike is a ghost writer for him, too?
I don’t mean to be unkind–seriously–but doesn’t Prince W’s double look a whole lot more like Princess Anne? (Picture the double in an up-do coif and waving.)
Surely Ms Middleton won’t really be going for the “pig in a meringue” style of wedding dress?!
If Kentucky can have a Colonel, why not have a Prince\Princess of chicken nuggets??? HRM of strips n chips?
Ah the fun life of lookalikes…I’m glad they don’t have any self respect
This is getting way too obsessive of you, BG….
I would have thought that the Windsors would order a Chicken Royale not a Bargain Bucket.
