Next CELEBRITY CORNER Victim

When I did my daily read of the Yahoo news stories today, I saw this picture of the Beckhams, a.k.a. Britain's other royal family, and I knew I had my next CELEBRITY CORNER victim.

Check out the picture....









Camp Verde peeps, do you see a resemblance?

Think dark-haired, petite beauty. Lots of style. Several good looking kids...Uhhh, but minus the wrist tattoo.

Got it now?

Yeah, I totally thought of my friend.....the one and only Angie.

What do you think? Are they a match?

Giving this matter some additional thought, I can come up with several ways in which these two ladies are alike.

1. Both have a wicked sense of style. True, Vicky is a tad on the avant garde/often scantily clad side; while A-girl keeps it very classic chic and modest. But, they are both the epitome of sophistication. In a one syllable word, POSH.
2. Both are known for being awesome mummies...or, translated in American English, mommies. 
3. Although they display different genres, both are vocally talented. Mrs. B with her pop beats and Mrs. P with her classical melodies. I would wager, however, that both can sing a wicked Broadway (British translation: Musical Theatre) tune.
4. Both are often associated with their also famous (and beautiful) gal pals. Posh Spice has her other Spice Girls. And Posh American has her lovely sisters (Angie, could we take it one step further and say each of your sibs = a certain Spice Girl? I'd love to hear who might be who!!)
5. Both have husbands that simply adore them. And why wouldn't they?

Here's more visual proof that I hit this nail on the head.

Dark eyes. Chic, short do. Hint of mischief. Yep, there's a resemblance!

The "look surprised for the paparazzi" look. 

Keeping it posh real with a pair of ultra cool shades.

Well folks, that ends another edition of CELEBRITY CORNER. Hopefully, it proved entertaining....especially to its victim. It's good to be back blogging...and maintaining my own celebrity status. Until next time, YoAdriane out!

Postscript: Victoria Beckham almost NEVER smiles! Ever notice that? To be completely honest, I found that 99% of her photos either channel the "pursed lips/emaciated cheeks/somber runway look" or the "tilted head/move a lock of hair/practiced inquisitive look." This fact made my Google search for resemblance pictures rather difficult because her American twin almost ALWAYS smiles...Perhaps this is a sign one of them is happier than the other? Hmmmm, there probably is a point where trying to be stylish and posh 24/7 takes a toll on your ability to enjoy life's simple joys. On that note, I give credit to my friend A-girl since family and faith come first for her....and posh-ness just comes naturally.

Do you read me?

I hate writing on my blog after a REALLY long void. It's like trying to say something to a friend you haven't seen since college....I feel guilty for staying out of touch and completely clueless about what to say.

But here I am. Writing again. Isn't it fabulous?!

At this point, I'm wondering if anyone even reads my silly blog anymore. Do YOU read me? If YOU do, please WRITE A COMMENT and help validate my blog's existence.

I'm really not feeling witty at the moment. Or particularly funny. Or remotely friendly. So, please don't expect too much from this post. The point is I am re-connecting (I think) with my blog and my blog's supporters. I do promise, however, that there will be more in store on this blog if you stay tuned...more CELEBRITY CORNERS, more TOP 10 lists, and even some good 'ole YoAdriane cynical humor.

So ta-ta for now and talk to you soon.

One of the better recent photos of moi.
It's proof that I haven't dropped off the planet...or forgotten to wear make-up and style my bangs for a close-up.

It's a Royal CELEBRITY CORNER!

May has been such a busy month for me (and we still have, what, 8 days to go?). Birthdays (including my own), graduations, one BIG ward luau (more on that later), hot weather then cold weather, mega-workouts then total body crashes, and the list goes on. So busy, that I've had several blog posts I've wanted to put on here, but I've lacked the time, muscle power, mental capacity to put anything up. So today is my catch-up day. Yep that's right. I'm catching up on two blog-worthy notions that have floated around in my head the last month:

1. Royals
2. Another Celebrity Corner

And guess what? They go hand-on-hand for this blog post.

Since Will and Kate tied the know last month (which I by chance watched at 2 a.m. AZ time on YOUTUBE...totally not planned), I've been thinking about the royal family. Specifically, I've been thinking about the ones I like, the ones I'd like to look like, and the ones that I'd like to forget. All this thinking got me to thinking that some of them actually look like some people I know. And this was perfect, you know, because I've been needing another Celebrity Corner victim...

So today, ladies and gents, I'll spotlight one of those look-a-likes for you.

Exhibit A: The beautiful, gracious Princess Diana

Exhibit B: The equally beautiful, BFF Teddy Armstrong

See the resemblance??

Let's take a closer inspection. Here's their commonalities:

Short, blonde hair? CHECK
Tall and thin? CHECK
Lovely angled face? CHECK
Athletic? Double CHECK
Exceptional mother? CHECK

And now here's some more pics.

(I found it extra ironic that both of them have a blonde and red head boy. Actually Teddy has two blondies, but still I like to think it's ironic...)

Great mommy...

And here's the family shots. Although, I do have to say that Teddy's husband isn't a royal frog/jerk...so maybe there ARE some differences....

And here we are at the stake Halloween bash last fall. T as a disco queen (only 17!) and me as Hermione Granger.

Here's a shout out to one of my bestest friends on the planet! Thanks Teddy for being there for me. You've always got a special place in my heart. You're royalty in my eyes, for sure.
