    Maybe the elephant wants a banana ;-)

    Not sure I can recognise any elephants, being somewhat outside of celebrity watching. Could you let on for the more ignorant souls?

    Addy Eileen looks vaguely like someone who might be famous, but I have absolutely no idea who.

    Regards,

    Richard

    I am also clueless. Just don't pay attention to celebrities.

    Wendy, it's probable that I'm worse, which is why I'm floundering on this.

    Regards,

    I'd say Taylor Swift, but I also suck at identifying celebs.

    OK, I give up. who is it supposed to be?

    Don't feel depressed. Anyone since the later 90's I wouldn't recognise. I don't socialise much and don't watch TV. Can't stand modern "music" or films. I'm firmly stuck in the last century.

    Yeah, to me she just looks like another skinny white girl whose non-closing lips make giving her any decent expression annoying and tedious. 

    Some nice eye colors, though.

    Wendy, I have a vague image of Taylor Swift, more because of her tour and her stop in Denver and the news coverage. And of course the sports news coverage of her and her fiancé who is on a football team. I respect her for her charity work and standing up for her rights. But if I accidentally came across her music on my car radio I couldn't identify it as her's. I have a 20 year old van and it doesn't have a screen to ID the tunes being played and most stations here don't bother to promote the artists, tracks, or the albums they are playing by telling you what is coming on or what was just played.

    Old car club represent!  My sedan turned 23 this year, and has some odd electrical issue with the radio/CD player display that means it only occasionally shows any information. So what station I'm on is anyone's guess LOL I just keep hitting "next channel" until it starts playing classical (or, if Teen Kiddo is with me, the "oldies station," as they've apparently decided 80's/90's music is awesome. I, meanwhile, am mildly traumatized that my generation's music is on the oldies station.)

    I was exposed to the Big Bands by my father's 78s, but no large radio or other music system survived his electrical engineer's curiosity in how it was put together. I was given a Japanese AM transistor radio by a teen who bought it in Tokyo in the early 60s and on that I listened to Los Angeles's Beach Music scene and the baseball playoffs during elementary school playground breaks. Mostly boys, a few other girls, and the odd teacher would gather round to share the experience when the Dodgers were in the Series. (Baseball used to be a daytime sport then.) My dad never knew I had it. Kept it hidden from him and my older sister. Of course we had Dick Clark's American Bandstand and Soul Train on TV which were great, free ways to learn new music, dance and styles others our age or just a bit older were doing/wearing. I know other nations had similar versions also. Now, I don't think there is anything like that. Even the cable MTV is ruined and I would be shocked if it still played or talked about music anymore.

    On a positive note, if you have an iPod or one of the other versions of it, they are coming back into style with the latest generation who wants to listen to music without commercials and without an algorithm organizing it. Need to find my iPod's speakers. And I can play it in my van.

    well the Swifties would probably kill me fir this but

    I honestly don't find her attractive cheeky

    she's slim maybe can sing without Autotune but she's no Debra Harry

    Debbie Harry, now we're talking heart

    I don't see Taylor Swift in there at all but ...

    it's a common saying referring to a topic everyone is not addressing

    nothing to do with the character

    I just mistakenly thought it was an obvious lookalike but nobody was commenting on it

    turned out, I was just stupid and now everyone is turning on me and picking my post apart

    I probably should refrain from commenting on lookalikes

     I'm not seeing either Taylor Swift or Debbie Harry at all. I don't see any celebrity likeness, to be honest.

    I think the Debbie Harry was comparing her voice to Taylor Swift's, to the detriment of the latter, not seeing a visual resemblance. 

    I did think that the idea might have been Swift, looking at the image without having read any replies, though I suspect that may be down to contextual suggestions rather than any great facial match.

    If it makes you feel better, I also saw a vague similarity.

    Without your comments this forum would be dullsville. A doldrum of dull boring comments gushing about this or dishing that. Simply opinions and you certainly have a right to post yours, which are often spot on. You stir things up in a good way. You call it like you see it. There is no such thingh as an unneeded post. If it isn't needed today it will be tomorrow.

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,575

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Wendy, you are one of the more experienced members whose views I cherish, so please don't reduce your comments. In this case I feel it was me not recognising what you saw, and asking for help to see it. There was no disagreement intended, just asking for hints so I could see the same thing.

    Regards,

    Richard

    I have always loved Jean M Auel's 'Clan of the Cave Bear' since I first read it decades & decades ago. It looks like all the models necessary to illustrate some of the scenes are available now. There are our type of humans, Neanderthal's, Mammoth's, the environments with UltraScenery 1/2 and now a brand new Cave Bear model. AMazing.

    Regards,

    Richard

    The bear looks nice. I'm never going to get a black bear, though, apparently. *grumble*
