Birthday Party with Ellen
I went to a friend’s 50th surprise birthday party. One woman in particular was blown away at the resemblance between myself and Ellen. She could not stop staring at me to the point that I was a bit uncomfortable. She also insisted that I study up on comedy and become funny. When her friend arrived at the party, they double teamed me followed me all around and kept saying over and over "Wow you do look like Ellen!" I kept catching them stare at me all night. I would just smile at them and give a little shrug and they would both shyly smile back. That is the first time someone has suggested I study up on my comedy, but not the first time someone has asked if I was funny. Maybe I'll start with Ellen's "funny" book....
Later that evening, the "Birthday Girl" came over to the table where I was sitting. She told me that a gentleman sitting a few tables over, leaned to his wife and whispered… remind me to tell you something when we get home. The wife said back, in a much louder tone, what…that that woman over there looks like Ellen?
The birthday girl was happy to have a celebrity CRASH her party...even though it was just me, LynEllen - Ellen's look alike.

I Look Like Ellen DeGeneres
"Has anyone ever told you, you look just like Ellen DeGeneres?"... I was first asked that question many years ago when Ellen's talk show exploded on the tv circuit. Then one day, my hair dresser asked me how often people say something to me about looking like Ellen. I thought for a second and realized…it happens every time I go out anywhere in public!
So, after several years of the "look-alike" stares, whispers and comments, I thought it was time to start documenting the funny statements, circumstances and stories I experience... all because I look like Ellen DeGeneres. It was never my intention to ever look like anyone else. I am simply being me and if that means I look like a well-liked and respected celebrity…then I gladly accept it. I still do get a bit embarrassed every time someone says something to me about how much I look like Ellen, but I have to admit I do get a kick out of it and really have fun talking to people about how much they love Ellen.
