I won an X File contest some years back... I strike a resemblance to Gillian Anderson. When X Files was at it's peak, I always got the whole "you look like that girl on that show" line. It made for one fun Halloween, though... with the whole FBI badge on and trench coat, it really drew attention. My kids hated it because when we stepped into the mall, people were either yelling "Scully!' at me or stopping me to talk. While out trick-or-treating, someone dressed like an alien ran up to me and my kids, yelling THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, scaring my poor daughter to death.
Now with X Files dead and Ms. Anderson not in the public eye as often, people don't notice it as much. Which is fine... because I like people seeing me for me...
I've come this far with the truth of the heart. Deep down inside I think we're all the same. Try not to judge and never shame... I do believe people are good... they just want hope and respect... to be understood ~Melissa Etheridge
